Not a nice move

Ovamboland:
Countless stove and efficient cooking methods has been prototype by numerous indigenous companies, Addis Engineering, Techo-Quip, Advance -Tech and countless Nigerian fabricators and so many similar projects in polytechnics and universities.
Yet this clueless government will splash 9bn Naira to enrich the South African economy and leave our own designers, fabicators, and craftmen unappreciated.
What is in a stove? you can call a design contest by giving out specifications e.g design a stove that will use 50% less fuel ans produce 40% more heat and give out 95% less smoke. Same way US government will give specifications to it's defense contractors like produce fither planes that can active 100,000 Ft ceiling, top speed of mach 5 and range of 3000 miles while consuming 30% less fuel.

We know it is campaign material for PDP paid for by the FG, but is it too much to make it count? Call like 10 fabricator firms, attach a proffessor and researchers to each firm, give them matching grant of like 10 million naira, and 6 months time and see the wonder that will be produced plus the knowledge and know-how that will be resident in-country. The best 1 or 2 designs will then be standard specification to be masses produced by fabricators all over the country.That knowledge spurned by foresight will be available to develop other simple devices.
We keep displaying the fact that we are clueless people and are not hungry for development. I am sure even Ghana or Benin Republic will not throw away it's money like that.

Then 18000 wonder bags?! are we real ?

Lmao @ are we real?
Don't I just love this country?

Nigerian government clearly doesn't know what to do with money. What is this trash? How will this affect the common man? How is this sustainable
We have gas right?...being flared and wasted every day.
Why can't government invest in efficient use of gas in Nigeria.
I bet if they set up a national competition for engineering students with just N1 million prize money to come up with a more efficient way to use gas in Nigeria for cooking, am sure you will be surprised by the outcome.
Despite the dwindling crude oil income, this government is still wasting money on stupidity. Who is advising these people?
Oh well, it's just another way to steal money ; after all "stealing is not corruption" - GEJ 2014!. Shame on all of us the citizens of this country to watch these looters destroy our future

Oh wow! interesting... Hope it can cook stones

Scope for embezzlement. If u share stove to rural women who can't even afford kerosine in first place, will FG be giving them kerosine to power it with? Since kerosine costs more than pertrol.? This is full of bunch of idiot who can't oppose this guys government.

Elcemento:
The headline is misleading. Nice one from the Govt.

Which headline is misleading? buying cooking stoves for people who can hardly afford to buy Garri? them go dey boil water drink abi? make you reason abeg.

Lads, here is the deal..... Why do we have to buy from a South African? are you now telling me that the Government cant do R&

and develop it own products, thereby keeping the money circulating in Nigeria??

This is just sad. Simple basic things, you cant develop, you prefer to spend hugh amounts of cash on that??

See the airport they said they renovated recently, the washrooms are in shambles. How much did they say they spent on that project again?

billions of naira.

it isn't rocket science that gej is incompetent and doesn't think straight. *sigh *

jamace:
Haba OP, your choice of topic has anti-Govt tone. Maybe you think stove na stove after all. But know that this stove is a special one, highly environmental friendly.

That was so unintelligent.

Thank you.

The "law" is an asss. The government is dumb. GEJ is clueless. The ruling class has no idea. The experts have failed. The co-ordinating minister of the economy is unco-ordinated. The Senior Special Advisers advice woefully and badly. So there are no surprises for me.

Na so dem take start the austerity measures naa

2 much money, dem just don't know how to spend it

Wat an idiotic set of people!


This charade of a govt administration will end soon sha


GMB to bbring back common sense to Nigerian govt

Stove ke

... and add to that, Kakatar CE was formerly called Mangrovetech and Mangrovetech belongs to

Summary

GEJ......All ministers should go out to bring projects that seems beneficial to gullible Nigerians to enable us get d cuts required for campaign 2015.

Okupe...Sir I have an idea

GEJ......You always have an idea, hope it won't put me to trouble. This project is for ministers!

Okupe...This one is like an octopus with benefits

GEJ. .....I'm listening

Okupe. ..1. We put the hausas in charge and Look look VP Sambo so that it looks they initiated it. benefit - We please the Northerners and buy votes from them against Buhari.
2. We import from Stoves from SA
Benefit - We compensate their economy for returning our illegal funds and covering our mess.
3. We distribute the stoves to the locals
Benefit - They see it as a sign of more good things to come if they vote for you in 2015 since Stomach infrastructure is our unique selling point.
4. We spend 20% and keep 80% to buy our opponents.
Benefit - You will win 2015

GEJ. ....APPROVED!!!

PEJ......Our investmentation ontop of Okupe is production result o. There is........

I'll comment when i have free mb

SMH for Nigeria. I no follow you on this one.

Wonderful:

Okay

I totally understand the motive behind this....

Truth be told, I can manufacture a close alternative to this...very simple and easy process. All we need is majorly ethanol and some additives.. I was opportuned to work and is still friends with another CEO who manufactures this cooking gel plus stove in SA.

It was part of my Youwin application, for some reasons I didn't understand why my idea wasn't chosen, but now I understand...9billion to SA?? For real? For what? How much does the stove and gel cost?

From research I know for a fact that we have other indigenous companies who makes these things, the stove itself isn't even rocket science to manufacture. Any good fabricator can do these things competently, trust my Aba brothers... I'm kinda disappointed sha..

Another thing is - our research team are great. Nigeria have very good researcher in diaspora. Go to any school in SA and u'll find teams of Nigerian researchers. From engineering to food science and all...but these people aren't motivated enough, they do their researches depending on yearly stipends(bursary) from their host schools and that's where it ends. None bring what they found or improved on back home. Why? Mentality. FG won't even take them seriously...smh! I'm upset.

Nigerians and its government always thinking stuffs outside Nigeria is superior...

It's only Nigeria that I knw so far that wouldn't support their own stuffs...Remember there's 24hrs electricity in most part of South Africa, yet people tried to develop ways to have clean cooking methods..imagine if electricity was epileptic like it is in Nigeria?? I'm sure South Africans would have developed ways to create their own electricity using different methods, and I'm not referring to importing generators please, yet their government supports them.

We all can do it...most times the solutions to our problems are in our pockets...we tend to look too far...too far

Why didn't I go ahead to start my own cooking gel one may ask....You probably will keep asking for a life time..

9billion naira? Someone help me convert to rands please...smh!! It is well...

johnmartus:
Hey look at how this useless man lavish our money the stove that will not well distributed. I also perceive that jonathan want to use that opportunity to win the heart of innocet people in the rural area because of 2015 general election [b][/b]you will see jonathan image in that stove

Weldone! U no go kill us with grammar

How clean is d clean cooking stove?

Is this deliberate wickedness by jonathan's administration to run this economy down before handling over in 2015?? This is just a total waste

Words just fail me !!!!

Why are they wasting money like that?

One thing I hate this country, hard Working nigerians/students will come up with something very creative n easy for the masses to use, but the government will just sweep it off, but once its from "abroad", our govt/people will rush to embrace it. We always want to show how rich we are outside,when we are the total opposite inside..smh I'm sure the americans and some others won't patronize that!
You want to help those in rural areas? Give them clean water,good roads, hospitals,schools,light etc n see if they won't be happy. The govt always using inside their nose to think!

The kind of prayers that Nigerians and Nigeria at large need errr, choooooi, not even T.D Jakes can provide such.

Is this part of stomach infrastructure?
