Nigeria: Portable Generators - Standby Power or Standby Death?


Who monitors incidents of unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning in Nigeria? A review of medical records of patients receiving diagnosis of unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning shows Nigeria is in dire need of active surveillance for proper generator use. VF findings show that misplacement of portable, gasoline-powered generators, for instance, indoors, in garages, or outdoors near windows, is often responsible for fatal and non-fatal generator fumes exposures.

Public health practitioners are yet to come up with educational campaigns on the safe operation of portable generators and prevention of hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning in the community.

RECENTLY, a new-wed couple choked to death from generator fumes in their new home on the outskirt of Calabar, Cross River State. Around the same time, in Ibadan, Oyo State, a 69-year-old man passed away along with seven other members of his family after they were overcome by fumes from a portable generator that was running on the first floor of their home. Reports indicated that the level of fumes inside the home was three times the danger limit.

Prior to this incident, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, two teenagers died from generator fumes poisoning because the generator they were using to power ceiling fans was too close to the room in which they slept. Much later, in Agege area of Lagos State, a middle aged man who was running a generator in his basement died in his sleep when the generator fumes infiltrated his bedroom.

Separate incidents

In yet another incidence somewhere on the Lagos mainland, a 30-year-old man who went to bed with his family while a generator was running in his garage, also died along with them as a result of the close proximity of the device. In Abuja, between June 2012 and March 2013, four people died in separate incidents as a result of poisoning from generator fumes.

Almost daily, there is one report or the other of a generator-induced death. Someone is either burned to death while refueling a generator, or electrocuted connecting an appliance to a live generator. But by far the most common reports have to do with people inhaling generator fumes and choking to death in their sleep right inside their bedrooms.

Over the years, the monumental failure of the antiquated National Electric Power Authority, NEPA, and its equally moribund descendant - the Power Holding Corporation of Nigeria, PHCN, Plc. compelled the average Nigerian to invest in portable generators to provide electrical power more on a substantive rather than standby basis. For millions who have come to learn never to expect power at all, the generator is a life-saver because it has become the mainstay of electricity provision. For most purposes, the standby generator has become the "NEPA", while the "NEPA" is now standby.

It is on record that Nigerians have acquired more standby generators in their life time than other nationals in the world. Owning a portable gasoline generator in Nigeria today is not only essential, but the norm. Recent statistics from the Centre for Management Development reveal that an estimated 60 million Nigerians invest about N1.6 trillion to purchase and maintain standby generators annually.

The typical portable generator ranges from the cheap and lowly "I beta pass my neighbour" to the high end noiseless series. To most Nigerians, "I beta pass my neighbour" is a life saver. Affordable and cheap to maintain, there are very few homes in the city, town and even village where the robust little contraption has not found a place.

But those who know better describe it as a potential life taker. Being a 2-stroke design, "I beta pass my neighbour" has no separate lubrication system, so it uses a petrol-engine oil mixture

Findings by VF reveal that in a typical "face-me-I-face-you" apartment building in Lagos, there is one or even two "I beta pass my neighbour" per room. In a building with 20 rooms, up to 10-15 generators could be on at the same time, emitting thick clouds of environmentally unfriendly gases for hours on end.

Standby generators

But that is not the end of the story. Nigerians are not only world champions for acquiring the highest number of standby generators, the nation holds the gold medal for recording the highest number of generator-induced deaths.

Generator fumes comprise a lethal cocktail of poisonous and environmentally unfriendly gases, including carbon monoxide and other noxious products produced from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels notably petrol (gasoline), diesel or a mixture of petrol and engine oil.

By far the most toxic of these product gases is carbon monoxide which is virtually invisible. You cannot smell it or see it because it is odourless and colourless and becomes fatal with sustained concentrations. VF gathered the carbon monoxide produced during operation of a portable generator can be a serious health hazard. For instance, the exhaust produced by a typical 5.5 kW generator contains as much carbon monoxide as that of six idling cars. When used indoors or in close proximity to residential dwellings, this exhaust can quickly infiltrate living spaces and incapacitate occupants. Misplacement of portable generators indoors, in garages, or outdoors near windows accounted for most exposures.

In normal use, majority of portable generators placed outdoors are reportedly located near windows or window-mounted air conditioners. More often than not, portable generators are placed inside a room or the corridor/balcony inside the home or garage to protect the devices from the weather or to prevent them from being stolen. Findings reveal that majority of fatal poisonings occur overnight.

Health records provide evidence that constant exposure to emissions from generators has proved hazardous to human wellbeing affecting the lungs and causing lasting health problems such as cancer, premature birth, low weight babies and neonatal abnormalities, cerebral palsy, etc., as well as numerous deaths.

"It is a silent epidemic. Nobody hears anything, nobody feels anything. It just happens," notes Professor Olu Akinyanju, a member of the World Health Organisation, WHO, Advisory Panel of the Human Genetics Programme. Akinyanju, a Physician/ Haematologist, and Founder/ Chairman, Sickle Cell Foundation of Nigeria, described the incidence as an epidemic. "It is so rampant, and the challenge is how to bring it to the attention of people," he stated.

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention advises using generators at least 20 feet away from homes, since there's not enough ventilation within garages and basements or near open windows to prevent fatal poisoning. However, some generator manufacturers recommend the use of extension cords to be "as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires." However, the use of short extension cords may result in placement of the generator too close to the home to reduce the likelihood of the entry of carbon monoxide. To reduce fumes entry, the generator should ideally be positioned outside of airflow recirculation region near the open windows.

"The bottom line is that the risk for carbon monoxide poisoning from generators is a major concern and public health officials should take cognisance of this fact. The only safe use of generators is outdoors, well away from any windows that could transmit fumes indoors," an engineer told VF.

Boom for generator set retailers in power rationing era
Most businesses seem to be affected each time there is a load shedding exercise.
But one area of business that keeps booming during this period is the generator retail business.
Most business owners admit electricity is a key component in ensuring growth in productivity. Therefore, during periods of power RATIONG grin business is affected.
“It is affecting our business,” said a business owner, “because when the place is dark the customers will not want to enter the shop”
“It also makes the office hot,” he added.
The situation has led to an increase in generator use by shops in Ghana.
TV 3 News’ Odelia Ofori visited some major businessesinthe Central Business District of Accra.
She reports that although most of the shops are not properly ventilated and illuminated, generators appear to be in each one.

Prices start from GH ¢800 for a 2.9 kilovolts-ampere (kVA)generator.
The largest size, which uses 25 gallons of diesel, goes for GH¢2800. Its capacity is 30 kVA.
Most of thegeneratorsellers admitted business is booming for them.
“It’s booming,” says a retailer.
“What’s happening is that because there is no light we sell them at affordable prices.”
Nonetheless, not all shop owners afford buying generators.
For these, interest-free loans from banks are gone in for in order to buy generators.
Others also engage sellers in negotiations in order to buy the generators on credit.
Sellers say that there has also been an increase in sales in generator parts.
“Previous power outage periods had made many people to purchase generators for which they now needed parts for replacements,” said a retailer.

Y'all new king of scammers need to see this grin a community 2hours drive from accra havent seen a glowing bulb before,infact they make use of bamboon torch grin no money to buy kerosene for their lanterns grin


[b] Living without electricity
Report from Ghana
Tekyikrom is about a two-hour drive from Ghana’s capital Accra, but to reach it involves climbing the hill beyond the town of Pukrom, which is hectic and risky. On arrival one finds a very small community of about one hundred people: mainly pineapple farmers, their children and grandchildren.
The first person I talked to was Madam Adwoa Oparebea. She is 66 years old, has seven children and many grandchildren. I asked her:"What happensinthis village when the sun goes down?"She replied:"We see nothing. All we have is darkness.Nonight activity."
 
"You see nothing at all?"I probed."So don’t you do anything at all at night?"I continued. She smiled and said:"I cook, we eat, we bath, we sleep. We wake up, sweep, go to the farm, we fetch water , we cook again, we eat, go to the farm and that cycle goes on."
 
Bamboo torch
My next question was:"What type of light do you use since you don’t haveelectricity?"At this point she entered her room and came out with an invention I have never come across any where in Ghana before: a bamboo torch.
 
She sat by her husband and told me what it was:"This is a bamboo torch. Kerosene is expensive so we have stopped using lanterns. A certain young boy came to this village and he invented this. Today, it is used miles and miles around. What we do is break open a torch light. Take out the light system, connect wires to it and then we remove the old batteries from our radios, arrange them into a plank of bamboo and connect wires to it. At least this way, when you wake up at night, you don’t stumble." 
 
‘Electricity never comes’
Madam Adwoa Oparebea cannot understand why the government has not given Tekyikrom electricity."They say it will come but it never comes. They’ve been promising us for the past ten years so we don’t know if it will ever come, but we’ll appreciate it when it comes.
 
Twenty-three year old teacher Mercy Peprah’s story isn’t any different. After lecturing me about how they all have to crawl into their beds once night falls, I asked her:"So how do you prepare your lesson notes?""I always have to finish that before 4:00 pm. At least if we getelectricity, I can study more to improve myself as a teacher".
 
Expensive kerosene
Josephine Kwafo is a fourteen-year-old student of Aburi Amanfo L.A Primary. She actually livesinanother village but she’s here to help her grandmother, Madam Adwoa Oparebea, who has hurt her finger and toe. She’sinclass six and preparing for the exams that will take her to Junior High School. She said:"Even though kerosene is expensive, my parents manage to buy some for me so I can learn at night. But I put out the light immediately I finish learning."
 
Tekyikrom is a village of farmers. One of them is Kwadwo Ambulley. He is twenty-six, married and has a pineapple farm. He answered my questions with a smile:"Darkness is all that happens here. When it is full moon, it is different. I asked:"Do you think you need electricity, what will you use it for?"He replied:"At least we can find our way to the toilet when we have electricity." [/b]

According to Mr. Bathelemy Kassa, the
current power supply arrangement of
50MW on week days (off peak) and
weekends as well as 35MW during peak periods on weekdays was no longer adequate for their countries’ needs.
He therefore asked the Minister to
consider increasing the supply to curtail their predicament.

Mr brother, i aint interested in arguing with you. believe whatever you believe and say whatever you say- i think it doesn't make sense comparing Nigeria to Ghana-there is no yardstick for measurement. its like comparing an estate with a house. more like saying "this estate has many dilapidated houses while this house is nice", or there are bad roads in this estate, only so-and-so are good and this house has good road.

[b] GHANA: Dodging faeces on the beaches

Dumping sewage on the beach at Korle Gonooa, a suburb of Accra
ACCRA, 16 September 2008 (IRIN) - On a hot afternoon at Jamestown beach, once considered to be one of Accra’s most famous beaches, 25-year-old Francis Cudjoe and his three friends squat in the open air while in conversation.
They are defecating in full view on the beach, and they are not alone. Off in the distance, one can spot many more residents dropping their pants, squatting and freeing their bowels.
Shortly after they leave, ocean waves wash away their waste.
With 4 MILLION PEOPLE without access to a toilet and 4.5 MILLION with no sewage facilities, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) recently ranked Ghana the fourth most unsanitary country in Africa in a total of 52 judged, and the second dirtiest out of 15 West African countries.
The two organisations monitor African countries’ sanitation services.
This ranking has rallied local environmental organisations to clamour for more radical governmental action on Ghana’s deteriorating sanitation record.
For the local Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS), “the ranking should serve as a reality check for authorities who act as if all is well,” says Executive Secretary Patrick Apoya.
He says Ghana has a “national sanitation crisis” and calls on the government to declare a “national emergency.”
Desperate measures
Walking down the beach, one has to carefully pick one’s steps to avoid stepping in faeces.
“The beach has been where I have come [to do this] since childhood - I can’t stop. In any case even if I want to stop, there is no alternative,” Cudjoe tells IRIN.
With no toilet facilities, people turn to bushes, drains, fields and even outlawed pan latrines to defecate.
The pan latrine is a portable toilet made up of a bucket around which is fitted a wooden frame or seat with a hole in the middle.
When the bucket is full, users pay somebody to dump it in a waste centre. Eventually the waste is pumped out to the sea.
Ghana’s Supreme Court banned the use of these latrines in July 2008, saying they violated people’s dignity, and ordered city authorities to arrest and prosecute users.
The court also ordered the government to build public toilets across the capital and subsidise the construction of toilets in private homes, measures that have yet to be implemented, according to CONIWAS.
Health and economic toll
About one kilometre away from Jamestown beach, women selling food at Makola market in central Accra are surrounded by heaps of refuse. An unbearable stench pervades the air as green fluid seeps from the refuse onto the road.
According to the government’s Environmental Health and Sanitation Directorate (EHSD), Ghana can only manage 30 percent of the daily waste its residents generate.
Such conditions lead to up to eight deaths an hour, estimated Minister of Health Courage Quarfhigah.
Every year, the health ministry reports more than 400,000 out-patient cases of sanitation-related diseases, including diarrhoea, typhoid, cholera and hepatitis, which lead to about 65,000 deaths.
Alias Sory, director general of Ghana’s health services, told IRIN costs are mounting. “Increasingly, the country’s health facilities are being overwhelmed by sanitation related diseases. The cost to the nation is unbearable.”
Dirty streets and beaches can repulse tourists, according to acting executive director of the Ghana Tourist Board, Martin Mireku. “Tourists who come here are not used to such things [defecation on beaches], it’s repulsive and has the potential to drive them away, and the time to act is now.”
Tourism provides 25,000 jobs in Ghana, and contributes more than US$1 billion to the annual economy, representing five per cent of the annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to Mireku.
Criminalising public defecation
But some in the government dispute the figures, saying the problem has been overstated. “We are not saying we don’t have a sanitation problem, but we are certainly better than most of our African colleagues,” said Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the second in command at the Ministry for Local Government, the ministry responsible for monitoring sanitation facilities.
Despite this assessment, the national government is starting to take the issue more seriously, according to CONIWAS’ Apoya. It has drafted what will be the country’s first national sanitation policy, which Apoya anticipates will be approved by late 2008. [/b]

News: Tough Times: Nigerians Flee
To Ghana

....influx
doubled after elections More Nigerians
are fleeing to countries like Ghana and
Vietnam to escape the harsh economic
realities back home, even as some big
businesses are gradually folding up and
relocating. The Nigerian paper,
LEADERSHIP SUNDAY, learnt that
Nigerians now seek refuge in far-flung
countries hitherto not considered as lands
of "green pasture". Countries like
Vietnam, Mozambique, Ethiopia and
China are fast replacing the traditionally
favorites like the United Kingdom, Libya
and the USA. Most of the people leaving
are pointing to the lack of electricity and
insecurity as the cause of their exodus.
Those abroad are also vowing that they
won’t return home until conditions
become better. Check by the Nigerian
newspaper shows that influx of Nigerians
into Ghana doubled after the Presidential
election that ushered in a new
government there. A Nigerian living in
Ghana told correspondents that many of
his relatives are pestering him to get
them accommodation in Ghana. He said:
"I’m amazed at how Nigerians are moving
into Ghana these days. You know, in the
past it was as if we were stupid leaving
here for Ghana, but see what is
happening. Each day we see Nigerians
trooping in their droves." The Ghana
resident, who spoke anonymously, gave
reasons why Ghana is becoming
attractive: "the truth is that the society
works. In Ghana, there is orderliness, not
the chaos you have here. There is
constant light and this is important for
living. There is also security and respect
for human rights. If you ask me it is the
turn of Nigerians to run to Ghana like the
Ghanaians did in the 80’s. Many
Nigerians are in Ghana today,
intermarrying and looking for ways to
become citizens. I don’t think they would
want to return unless conditions change
in Nigeria," he said. Godwin Ukwu (not
real name) told our correspondents that
he has finished all arrangements to
relocate next month. Ukwu said his
friends are "making it" in Cameroon and
have asked him to join them there. He
said: "I’m going to Cameroon to sell beer.
My friends are there and they are making
it big in their various business. In fact,
last Christmas, some of them came home
and told us that we are suffering here.
For instance, transportation is such a
huge problem there. In fact their roads
are better than the ones in the East.
Besides, my business is suffering as there
is no light. Customers will come and they
can’t drink my beer because it is not
chilled. So, I’m losing customers and
business is bad." Another respondent told
our reporters that if he has his way, he
would flee the country. Speaking to
LEADERSHIP SUNDAY, the man who
gave his name as John said that Nigeria
has become "hell" for him. John is a
graduate of six years and has remained
unemployed. According to him, every
attempt to get a government or private
job has failed. He said: "if I have the
opportunity, I would leave this country. In
fact, in looking for people who would tell
me how to get to Libya. At least, I will get
a job and my life would be safer," he said.
Like most unemployed youngsters in the
country, John has tried to be self
employed. He said: "my uncle gave me
some money recently to start something.
So I got a corner shop at Kubwa (In
Abuja) to start a barbing salon. Right
now, the place has been demolished and
I’m looking for another place, but even if I
get a place, what about light and water?
Through the time I had the saloon, it was
generator that powered the business and
that is very expensive. Even with the
generator some weeks, I will have nothing
doing because of fuel scarcity. I really
want to leave. I love my country but I
can’t go on like this," he lamented. A
source in Vietnam, told LEADERSHIP
SUNDAY that the Vietnamese
government is trying to restrict the influx
of Nigerians into the country because of
the huge number running there. Libya too
has not lost its appeal to Nigerians. In
spite of the precarious route, Nigerians
daily put their lives on the line to cross
over. The journey, mostly done by foot,
find Nigerians crossing the Sahara,
risking arrest and deadly attacks by patrol
team to get to Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
Says an official of a prominent
government agency concerned with
human trafficking, who do not want to be
mentioned, " most of the travelers are
girls going to engage in prostitution. The
men are often their pimps. And no matter
the campaign our office is making, the
truth is that the rush is still on. We can
arrest them or even sensitize them, but
what is clear to us is that this is an
ongoing war. Sex slaves are still been
trafficked abroad. Our agency is helping
to stave it off. But no one should be
deceived, human trafficking is not going
to go away in a long time. The harsh
conditions here, coupled with the lure of
greener pasture is just too much
temptation for many of the girls and their
manager to bear. The arrest and pains
they suffer during the trips is a little
sacrifice they make." An emerging trend
also is that of businesses folding up.
Dunlop, for instance has folded up and
may be relocating to Ghana. Part of the
reason for the relocation is the unstable
power supply in Nigeria. Checks shows
that many businesses are already
rethinking their continued stay in the
country.
South Africa and Ethiopia appear more
appealing to such big businesses. Already,
major stakeholders in tourism and
hospitality business are looking
downwards to South Africa- a country
getting ready to host the world cup in
2010.

grin chei toilet paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa grin grin grin grin fuckeuppedness grin grin Thanks, Mr. Ndibe, henceforth shaking the hand of a MUMUgerian is a taboo for me grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin


The Toilet Named Nigeria grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
http://washafrica./2011/07/12/the-toilet-named-nigeria/

In his latest column, government critic and Professor of Creative Writing at Trinity College (USA) Okey Ndibe, voices his disgust at the practice of open defecation grin in his homeland Nigeria.

If you want to gauge how badly Nigerians have been animalized grin, then pay attention to how, and where, many of them defecate. Just recently, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that 33 million Nigerians have no access to decent toilets. As a consequence, said the report, these citizens of Africa’s most populous nation answer the call of nature in the open.

Is it really only 33 million Nigerians? One is afraid that here’s one occasion when statisticians have pegged the figure too low. Nigeria – as I wrote three years ago – may be described as one vast toilet grin grin grin. Anybody who has traveled from Lagos to Onitsha by road knows that there isn’t one single rest area with toilet facilities along the route. At stops in Ore or Benin City, pressed passengers must hurry off into the brushes, gingerly skating around others’ feces, in order to relieve themselves.


In Ndibe’s eyes the “habit of doing in public what ought to be done in private” points to a deep cultural crisis.

Long habituated to inhuman conditions, many Nigerians have ceased noticing those peeing or defecating in the open. Or, when we notice, too many of us have lost our sense of outrage at the oddity. Public acts of pissing and defecation have become – more or less – normal, part and parcel of our social experience and landscape.

The associated health risks of Nigeria’s insanitary conditions have made Ndibe feel uneasy about shaking hands. grin

For me, it’s often a dilemma. I know how scandalous it would be to refuse to offer one’s hand. Yet, I can’t help wondering where the hands I shake have been, and whether they’ve been washed. grin grin

Ndibe retells an revealing anecdote about local government staff who staunchly opposed a plan to build staff toilets. They told the local government administrator to “just give them a share of the public funds – and to leave it up to them to decide on toilet matters”.

news:
Why Foreign Investors Shun
Nigeria, Turn to Ghana
, By EU
nigeria violence map
THE European Union, EU, has said that
Nigeria’s cry for sustained foreign direct
investment would continue to fall on
deaf ears unless the country showed
commitment to tackle the challenges of
corruption and insecurity.
Head, Governance Programme of the
EU delegation, Alan Mundaay, in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, said that the
collapsed foreign direct investment in
Nigeria was self inflicted as no foreign
investor would put his money in an
environment that was not enabling.
Mundaay spoke to newsmen on the
presentation of the report of the EU’s
sponsored Tomorrow Is A New Day, a
21 months project aimed at supporting
community level conflicting resolution
and reintegration of ex-militants to
promote sustainable peace and stability
in seven Niger Delta communities.
The EU chief, said: “Foreign investors
will not come to Nigeria to lose money.
They come to make money. If there are
growing threats to many Nigerians
themselves here, why will any foreign
company put money and the lives of
foreign human capital at risk in Nigeria
under the prevailing security situation?
“It is easier for foreign airlines to work
in Ghana in neglect of the far bigger
Nigerian market because Ghana is more
enabling and even Nigerians are
running away from home to do business
in Ghana. Nigeria does not need to beg
for foreign investment. People will come
when their investments are guaranteed.
They will come without pushing when
corruption is effectively tackled and the
justice system reliable.”

NIGERIA: Big Woman Nakéd and
Runs Mad After Confessing She Uses
Corpse Water In Her Restaurant


(TON)Imagine the extent some people
go all in a bid to make “too much
money” and oppress others. This is one
of the reason why those who have made
money legitimately are not respected at
times as there is the temptation to lump all wealthy people as crooks, one way or the other.
This woman runs a popular restaurant
where men and women troop in to eat,
not know that they are eating away their
destinies, in this Nigeria…
She is the owner of one of the most
popular local restaurant (buka) in the
Eleme area of Port Harcourt, the Rivers
State capital. I hear the woman
confessed last weekend to using
spiritual means to entice customers, as
well as take their “destinies.” True life
story!
According to eye witnesses, the woman,
said to be from Akwa Ibom state,
suddenly ran mad while at her
restaurant. She started acting bizarre,
tore her clothes and started confessing
in the presence of customers, her
workers and passersby how she used
diabolical means for the growth of her
business.According to a source, she said
she mixes water used to bathe corpses
with her food, as well as water from her
privaté part and ménstruation blood.
She said she did all these to attract
customers whose “destinies” she used
for the growth of her business and
riches.
The news of her confession spread
around town and many of those who
have been going to her restaurant to
enjoy themselves could not believe their
ears. It was sad indeed! Some of her
customers (including Okada men) and
angry onlookers descended on her but
she was rescued by Policemen.
Eating out is cheap but with stories like
this one need to be careful.
