Sorry to say, you're irredeemably foolish...

It is not the federal governnent that need deliverance it is you and the idiotic youths of this country that need deliverance. Now it is a south african that is using their God given brain to invent stoves for us while the youth of this country will sit down at home and complain about everything. What is wrong with you people, cant you use your brain to think positively and get yourselves out of poverty?

sometimes i wonder what positive thing the youth of this country is doing to help the situation of this country. The only thing they are good at is to make complaining a full time job. Idiots.

sunnshyn:
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...

InglishTeechar:


Let me ask a personal question and i want a sincere answer. What are you doing for a better Nigeria? We know the country is in mess, what are you doing in your own little way to better the situation of this country?

Omooba77:
The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the purchase of N9.2billion worth of clean cook stoves and wonder bags for rural women under the National Clean Cooking Scheme.

Wonder bag is a non-electric slow cooker invented by Sarah Collins, ‎a south African eco-entreprenuer, who came up with the idea six years ago during a power cut, when she decided to keep her dinner cooking by surrounding the pan with cushions.

The council also awarded a contract of N60.9billion to an indigenous firm, KaKatar CE Limited, for the provision of engineering infrastructure for Kyami District, Zone C, Abuja.

Supervising Minister of Information, Dr. Nurudeen Muhammed; Minister of Environment, Mrs. Lawrecia Mallam; and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Muhammed, briefed State House correspondents at the end of the meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Muhammed said the N9.2billion inclusive of Value Added Tax was approved for the procurement of 750,000 units of clean cook stove and 18,000 wonder bags.

He said the stoves are expected to be delivered by Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited within a period of 12 weeks.

He noted that the stoves which will be assembled locally, will provide jobs to Nigerians among other benefits.

The minister said, “The National Clean Cooking Scheme is an aggressive drive to engender clean cooking culture amongst the poor rural women, to reduce and possibly eliminate cooking with solid fossil which is detrimental to health.

“The scheme is expected to provide 20 million clean stoves over a five-year period at the rate of four million stoves yearly which will be distributed without charge.

“It will also reduce incessant felling of trees which exposes the country to ecological problems.

Lilimax:
Almost all iidiots on the street are now government critics

OCTAVO:
This is pure wastage! Our president is becoming more clueless daily.

ypzilanti:

Vote for more of the same old sh!t next year.
Why not? Buhari is coming to stop y' all from going to church. Soldiers will come to your house and make you recite the Koran. Odes.
Gej is like a rapist that rapes with the door wide open for the victims to escape, but christian Nigerians are like " at least he said hes a christian"

Rexyl:


Not a wastage at all. All means to curb wastage of natural resources should be highly welcomed and appreciated. The cooking stove is said to reduce environmental pollution, wastage of fuel probably due to incomplete combustion, and reduce indiscriminate felling of trees for fire wood and charcoal production, thus protecting our environments from natural disasters.

If the move will serve all these purposes it shouldn't be disregarded. Just let's hope it will bring benefits to all now or later.

Pectoris:
One stove will cost around 450 naira only, though it will be distributed freely. N9b for 20 million clean stoves, do d math. FG is on point.

PStacks:



Sensitisation and awareness. Doing little little charitable works. Trying to expose the rate of chaos and corruption endemic in the system, waiting for it to all fall apart then we gon have to start building afresh..


You see, the truth is, the Very Foundation Nigeria sits on is Faulty.

What can we do when the foundation is faulty? The whole building is got to be brought down, the foundation has to be re-inforced, then proper blocks of nation building would be used. As Nigeria is Today, no structural engineer can use any other form of corrective mechanism. No part time solution.

Nigeria is the only country I know that didn't fight for her independence, so tell me, how would they cherish it?

Nobody wants to die, nobody wants to sacrifice but people keep dieing everyday in this country.

Even if we were to revolt, the number of people that would die wouldn't have been upto the number of deaths recorded so far..

Number of internally displaced people is on the rise.

Ko si igba ti maku o ni ku.

bros ,do u know how much 9.2billion naira is in dollars ? We are talking about almost 90MILLION US DOLLAR!!! That money could have been put to better use and purposes. There are roads to be fixed,there are universities salary issues to be settled,believe me this money could have gone a long way in settling lecturers or the educational sector problem. What are these woonder bags for?what impact will 18000 bags have in nigeria?

InglishTeechar:


My dear sister, i tire ooo.

I think our youths need re-orientation or delivarance as the case may be. The only thing their rotten brain tell them is to complain about everything and not think of solution. Now a south african, a fellow african not an "european" is going to become a billionaire because our youths dont know how to use their brain. They only thing they are good at is to critisize the government.

Ask not what your country will do for you, ask what you will do for your country.

Let's assume the figure of 300 direct beneficiaries of the assemble plant is correct ( but I doubt its tenability), what about hundreds of dependants they stand to feed? On a larger picture, do you consider the enormity of the stove's impact on the lives of women who trek miles to fetch firewood? Is their life expectancy subject to improvement or otherwise? If you take care of women, you are indirectly catering for the welfare of the nation and no amount spent to that effect is a waste.
