Friday, 09 September 2011

The Federal Government is planning to establish a space centre at the University of Uyo, Uyo, to aid marine research.

The Minister of Science and Technology, Professor Ita Okon Bassey Ewa, who stated this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Akwa Ibom State governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, at the Governor’s Lodge, Uyo, said the university could partner Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, on development of the coastal line and should take advantage of the centre.

Professor Ewa noted that “Akwa Ibom has a coastline that requires continuous monitoring and research. The state is rich in mineral resources and marine products and there is the need to establish such a centre here.”

He hinted that Nigeria had a coastline to monitor the space and had recently launched Satellites 2 and X in Russia which was in orbit to assist Nigeria in agriculture and regional planning with an advantage of 2.5 photo-chromatic view.

“We took a team of engineers to Russia and launched the two satellites. As a result of the feat of President Goodluck Jonathan within his first 100 days, Nigeria is able to rub shoulders with United States of America,” the minister pointed out.

He advised the governor to relocate incubation centre in the state Ministry of Science and Technology due to expensive nature of the project, stressing the need to establish Institute of Technology and a cluster of parastatals to assist in the empowerment of the people.

Let them learn to clean the street first. Idi.ots,people that does understand the concept of environmental sanitation are talking about space. They probably mean buying powerful telescopes for the first time to look at the wonders of the night sky that even the ancient egyptians observed.

I swear, this minister is a really shameless sycophant.

Satellite project that has been in progress for years is now being attributed to GEJ's 100 days in power. WTF does he mean by 'rub shoulders with America'?

instead of them to be ashamed that we had to use foreign trained Nigerians with foreign help. No University in Nigeria can churn out graduates with the skillset to do this standalone and the minister for Science and tech is beating his chest with pride?

Sadly, there is no light at the end of the tunnel for us. Not after GEJ told the entire nation during his debate that the only great problem Nigerian Universities (and students) face is a 'lack of accommodation'.

This is pure nonsense. It show the Professor Ita Okon Bassey Ewa is been bias, if a space centre should be sited in Nigeria. It should be at the federal university of Akure or the university of ilorin.

Akwa Ibom have not produce much expert in that field of study, even if you site it there. Nobody  will go there. No expert will go to Akwa Ibom. Ondo/ekiti state have citizen around the world with sure skill.  And akwa Ibom does not. And the people are not going to live in akwa ibom. Not akwa Ibom. this is one of what Nigeria do wrong.
  this is why you start project that fail.

This is a fail project even before it start.

in a space program , they need mountain.   Ondo state/ekiti state have mountain. akwa Ibom does not have mountain.

Re: Fg To Establish Space Centre At Uniuyo by musiwa48: 4:09pm On Sep 09, 2011
You look at factor for siting a space centre. Only Ondo state have all factors.

1. You are going to look at having the skill staff to man a space centre. Ondo/ekiti have the skill workers around the world. who even some will retire to offer their skill. Akwa Ibom or cross river states does not have that skill worker around the world.
2. You look for mountain in that site. akwa Ibom does not have mountain high enough to site a space agency.
3. You look at ocean which sometime this space craft will fall on. Even while akwa ibom or cross river or river or bayelsa have waterfall. the water way have already been use . and they are block by other small countries like which are island. they own this water ways. So your space craft will be falling into another country. In ondo state , you dont have island infront of it.

4. No state in Nigeria have a better chance of been sited a space program. Ondo state is Number 1.

You can see why we want to leave you in Nigeria. Nigeria can not make progress if you continue with ethnic hate. It is this same ethnics hate that have made Nigeria not develop.

When the people who should be in charge of technological developments in the country come up with statements like this, it means not only do they not have a clue about how much we lag behind the world of technology, they don't even know how far the world has gone.

And these are the same "intelligent" people GEJ has surrounded himself with.

Re: Fg To Establish Space Centre At Uniuyo by musiwa48: 5:53pm On Sep 09, 2011
cold (m), you illiterate, go to school. there are rule for setting up space centre.  You illiterate people. Akwa ibom is not a good location to set up. Ondo state is the right place to place it.

That is akwa ibom ,  do you see any mountain in akwa ibom No.

@Musiwa,

Don't listen to that Cold of a guy, he is too cold. I can see everything from the Satellite pictures, and that pretty white woman. Em, is she from Ondo State? Will she be the one to man woman, the Space Center if built in Ondo state. I can see her screaming madly at GEJ for the decision to favour Akwa Ibom. grin grin grin grin grin grin

Re: Fg To Establish Space Centre At Uniuyo by musiwa48: 6:07pm On Sep 09, 2011
you need to study with G  force and other. and you need Ondo state. Do you place telescope and others in plane land or mountain.?

You want to receive the best signal and Only Ondo state can offer you. Are you looking for signal for cameroon? then set it up in akwa ibom.

I know digital signal processing and you dont , so just keep your mouth shut.
Re: Fg To Establish Space Centre At Uniuyo by PointB: 6:12pm On Sep 09, 2011
You lost me there musiwa,
Please show me satellite picture of the G force, and another satellite picture showing the difference between telescope on plane land and and another one mounted in only Ondo. grin grin grin grin grin

@manny4life, and dabrake, please midnd yourselves oo grin grin grin grin
