WATER NO GET ENEMY: EXPLANATION

The "water" is the Nigerian common people. The Government/Military must not make enemies of the populous, nor disturb their "flow" (endevours & routines)- as it is dangerous to make an enemy of the country's most essential resource. The people make everything happen.

Nothing exists without water

Water does not gain enemies

because if you fight (renounce)water, you will die

Power cannot exist without the people…
