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.

hamedade2000:
i'm very sorry, i'm not a violent person buh I jez av to abuse u. Ur comment n mostly likely u r silly. U wrote gud English but it came out lyk an illiterate was speaking. Assemble z miles different form producing. Donation of renewable energy stove to women who can't afford a cup of garri, I guess dey wld be boiling dia bathing water wif d stove wen it's cold. Dat shdnt be priority now n I guess dat z part of d austerity measures dey were screaming abt last week. A broke country shdnt be thinking of spending so much on somefin so trivial. Nigeria has loads of pressing matter to deal wif, nobody wld die tomorrow if dey don't get dis stoves but pple are dying everyday in d hospitals cos of poor infrastructures, under 5 children r dying from malaria n malnourishment, university graduates r jobless, boko haram killing innocents lyk catfish. So sharing of stoves z d best dey can do at dis very moment n it cldnt wait till wen things r a little better. Wat Clueless, Lost, Sick government we av. #GejOut

Nigeria Economy is in Trouble................But sheybi they said Okonjo Iwela has PHD in Econs,,,,,,,,Can't she advise the FG that that Stove will/can never be well maintained by the target population................& that importation of everything is not good for us especially now d@ the dollar is murdering the Naira .........Those Stove are gona be imported From South Africa & Assembled here..........................When did FG start sharing STOVE ?......What happened to making our GAS affordable and accessible to those in the rural areas ?.................................Must we import ?.......Must we waste money ??..........Now how will those in the rural areas maintain this new technology when its even hard 4 them to maintain the conventional kerosene stove...................FG needs Deliverance !!!!

lekzzydo:
Wait o, it's like you are not seeing what I'm seeing o

Why SouthAfrica all the time

The FG collaboration with SA is one in town. Improving SA economy and leave ours in a shambles state.

Superstar007:
FG and misplaced priorities. Is this what we really need right now?

otunbakolawole:
In your myopic view, assembling the stove would create how many jobs for how many skilled and unskilled workers? If the government has its thinking cap on, it would know that there are indigenous firms using the clean technology already, some were even supported by some Government agencies. Google (kike cook stove) see for yourself. There are others. This contract is just one of the numerous selfish contracts to settle cronies.

omenka:
Even in the face of dwindling revenues, this government just can't put an end to its squandermania. Stoves for 9Billion and you say Jonathan knows how to run an economy!! I guess when the cloud of this shiitstorm they are gathering breaks and starts to rain, they wouldn't go looking for whom to blame.

This is just madness.

PerfectlyPerfect:

brother, u stewpid. I swear, your stupidity really makes me lose hope on you and your generation

adozie:
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. Shame on all of us the citizens of this country to watch these looters destroy our future

dannewlife:
I now understand what they mean when people describe this administration as CLUELESS !

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 ?

Stelvin101:


Majority Nigerians are F00lish and blind to see GEJ administration as a total failure na, all because he is a Christian president( thats if the Olodo is truly a christian) and he is also from the South South. Me am from South south, half Ijaw self buh i dont support the modafucka coz he is a total failure when we talk of rule of leadership. The man is just too imcompetent and when matured mind and positive people speak the truth, all these Coconut vacuum headed Nigerians will be shouting criticism! Criticism!. They just dont want to wake up from their slumbering sleep. *shaking my head*

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.

That is ehhhn!

No be small deliverance ooo!
The ogbanje wey dey worry this Government no get part 2.

InglishTeechar:


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.

Telvinsahpa:
Na waoo Nigerian leaders you guys are not wise oooo shebi na person make the stove? Y una no try invent una own. Una for do una own by using all intelligents youths , I believe we have people that can do something better than that , or na to wast moni, well may God help Nigeria

Is that how far you can go? Your brain needs psychotic examination.

Onegai:


The number of people to be hired to assemble this cannot be more than 300. Because they're no fabricating, they're joining already-made parts.

6 years ago, I saw at Trade Fair in Lagos and read several proposal submitted to Govt about BRICKETS, a clean fuel material made from sawdust and waste materials readily and freely available in Nigeria. These brickets burned cleaner than coal. These proposals and demos were all done by Nigerian lecturers (Uniben and some Polytechnics if I recall). If the govt had given them grants, we would need to hire scavengers at all our refuse dumps in 36 states (so let's say 100 per state). Then hire people to set up companies to collect sawdust from every logging facility in the SW (let's saw 10 people get the contract, they will use the model of PSP and hire 10 people minimum per PSP,) that's a 100 people. Then people to work in the Bricket manufacturing facility, another 100-150, minus the skilled technicians and mangers supervising them (50). So that's 400 people and they would still be unable to make enough for the country, so we would have Bricket-producing facilities in each state. Oh, I forgot, we need distributors and marketeers for selling the end-product.

Import= 300 people hired (a generous estimate)

Locally-sourced and made = minimum 600-1000 people in a manufacturing industry and we have not even thought of EXPORTING our clean-burning Bricket to nations like Gambia, Sierra Leone and countries where International Bodies are willing to pay and subsidise stuff for them (because their economy is so poor). Lord knows how much money Nigeria would have made.

I'm glad you've taken the time to read how your govt keeps making you poorer with your ignorance as an aid. Don't thank me, you're welcome

PStacks:




Take it easy na.

Y attacking me.

You want a change? Be the change.


U want a Revolt? Lead a Nation-wide awakening for nigerian youths. Lead a Revolution.

You also are just complaining like to complain is ur full time Job.

U have only just succeeded in complaining. Pls do something other than complain.

Invest in efficient use of gas instead of this trash
