Business / Re: FG Commissions Nigeria’s First Solar/Wind Power Plant by Civildisle: 4:07am On Mar 04, 2015

25 KILO WATTS? Do you know how many MEGA WATTS OF ELECTRICITY THAT IS? That is 0.025 Mega watts. Thank God I'm an engineer and cannot be easily fooled. 0.025 MW is not only laughable but ridiculous to be making so much noise about.

Can you imagine. I initially thought it was 25MW i had to go back and look at it again. A lot folks run gen with capacity far more than 25kw at home. What the Bleep are they commissioning. Its really obvious kirikiri awaits a lot of people after May 28th.

holla2undey:
Wot most pepul dont knw is dat, Jega as been collaboratin with d APC discreetly. If u dont agree with me, den lets all luk at it dis way, "the highest distributn of PVCs has been in the North, with Bornu State leadin on course with 93% distributn (Boko Haram went on strike durin d distributn?), statistically, it shows dat dere is high distributn of PVCs in d North (the highly supported APC zones) and low distributin on d Southeastern part of the Country (the highly supported PDP zones) with INEC maintainin dey re Ready for the Elections (wot does dat means?). Surprisingly, some areas in Lagos State are yet to receive dere PVCs, places like Ajegunle, Ikotun etc, 2 mentn few". De APC hav been carryin out its deceitful mission out tactfully, and alot of Nigerians re been deceived already (wot a pity). De APC are talkin abt Change wen its Chairman, Senator Bola Tinubu Ruled Lagos State for 8yrs without development, elected as Senator 4 anoda 8yrs with little to show 4 it, d Wife been elected as Senator in 2011 (4yrs) and seeking re-election in 2015 (sum 8+8+4=20yrs of Captivity) after turning Lagos State to its Business Venture with Every Lagosians donating into Tinubu's pocket daily. Most members of d APC became wot dey become unda d PDP umbrella b4 deployment 2 d APC thru betrayal (why wont dey betray Nigerians)(been afta dere own selfish interest). Still, dey re chantin Change into d ears of Nigerians. Lets Think Wisely and Vote Wisely, Vote GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN for d continuatn of the RENOVATION of d Country.

Another clueless being on the loose.

tbaba1234:
Muazu is Supporter 10

Characteristics of GEJ Supporters

I. Supporter 1 has not had power for more than 2 hours this week, he spends more than half of his Salary on petrol and uses what is left to come online to scream GEJ till 2019.

Ii. Supporter 2 is a paid agent, feed him and he will speak for you, he works for the highest bidder.

Iii. Supporter 3 just hates hausa-fulanis, it does not matter whether GEJ is the best, as long as the opponent is hausa- fulani, GEJ gets his vote. This person will tell you: 'if only APC chose fashola'. Oh wait, fashola is a hausa slave.

Iv. Supporter 4 says GEJ is chosen by God afterall he knees at every church, this supporter has never voted a non christian in his life and abstained from voting when yaradua went against Buhari.

V. Supporter 5 is a student struggling to get a BSc but would call Buhari, a graduate of the US war college, with a diploma equivalent to a masters degree today an illiterate. What irony!!!

Vi. Supporter 6 feels Buhari is too old so would rather retain incompetent leadership.

Vii. Supporter 7 has a relation in power or gains from government.

Viii. Supporter 8 thinks Buhari is an extremist despite the fact that Buhari fought and defeated extremists in his time as head of state, leading from the front. He remains the only Nigerian ruler to have comprehensively defeated a militia. (Biafra was a conventional army)

Ix. Supporter 9 can't explain why he hates Buhari. A weird mix of tribo-religious sentiments.

X. Supporter 10 believes APC is responsible for everything, the ekiti tape even though the actors have confessed, the paid protesters against Buhari, global warming, Boko haram, ISIS, Patience diction, why Mr president is ineffective, etc

Spot on

Health / Man Survive After Staying Under 30m Deep Water For 3days by Civildisle: 12:16am On Jun 12, 2013
In what has been described as an incredible feat, a team of South African divers, including at least four from Durban, has rescued a man who spent three days in an air bubble – 30m under the sea, after the tugboat he was in capsized off the coast of Nigeria. Ten other crew members died and one is still missing.

According to the owners of the boat, West Africa Ventures, the vessel capsized. However, it did not sink to the bottom, leaving the rescued man, Nigerian Okene Harrison, 30m below the surface. The vessel was towing a tanker to a mooring buoy when heavy swells apparently flipped it on May 26. The South African divers were on another expedition on the West Coast of Africa when they responded to a May Day call. The Chevron-chartered offshore vessel, Jascon 4, capsized in heavy seas 15Nm offshore Escaros in the oil rich Delta state of Nigeria.

What was meant to be a body recovery mission for the South African divers turned into an underwater rescue when a man said to be the cook on the boat grabbed a diver as he swam past him. Okene Harrison had managed to survive three days underwater by finding an air bubble measuring no bigger than 1.5m by 3m and sitting on a table. It is believed he sustained himself by drinking soft drinks floating around him. Divers were shocked to have found Harrison alive and said they were amazed by how calm he was during the rescue. Because he had been 30m underwater his body had filled with nitrogen and divers had to put him into a decompression helmet before he could be safely brought to the surface. Okene’s incredible feat and the divers’ effort to bring him to the surface safely has caught the attention of maritime experts and international film makers who want to turn the rescue into a documentary. Writing on the Facebook page of a maritime website, Paul McDonald, a “dynamic positioning officer” on board the dive support vessel involved with the recovery and rescue mission, said: “All on board could not believe how cool he was when being rescued. The divers put a diving helmet and harness onto him and he followed the diver to the bell where he was then taken to deck level and kept in the chamber and decompressed for 2 days. It was amazing to be part of this rescue and my sympathy is with the families who lost (their) love ones.”

As of May 31st, Okene was recuperating and responding well to treatment after his providential recovery, reports Shipwreckology. Rob Almeida, an accomplished sailor and partner at gCaptain, in an article written for the company’s website, had spoken to former US Navy Salvage Officer Patrick Keenan about the amazing rescue “The fact this person survived is incredible,’ commented Keenan. “After spending two days at 30 meters of depth, he had become saturated, meaning his body had absorbed all the pressurised gases and equalised with the surrounding water pressure. Bringing him to surface from that depth, and after having been saturated at 3 or 4 atmospheres, could easily have killed him.” In saturation diving, divers are brought to the surface from depth using a pressurised diving bell, which mates up to a pressurized chamber on deck. This allows the “saturated” divers to live and work above and below the surface at a steady pressure state for an indefinite period of time, and most importantly, to be brought to the surface safely,” Keenan told gCaptain. Specialist deep sea diver Patrick Voorma, who owns Calypso Dive Centre at uShaka Marine World, said it was incredible that Harrison was able to survive at those depths for such a long period. “When you are under water, your internal body pressure will become the same pressure as the water pressure surrounding you. If you go down to 30m there is four bars of pressure – double the pressure in your car tyres – being exerted in your body,” he said. “By staying under water for such a long time, your body becomes saturated and you will have four bars worth of gas pressure in your body of which the nitrogen will be the problem.” “It will be like opening up a can of Coke. All that nitrogen will just rush out of your body and will give you a gas embolism which can kill you instantly.” Corrie van Kessel, spokeswoman for West Africa Ventures, said that the divers had yet to find the body of the 12th crew member. “

The search and rescue operation that has been under way since 26 May 2013 has had to be stopped for safety reasons. The vessel, Jascon 4, which is located some 30 metres under water in an upside down position, has become so unstable that the risk of injury to our rescue divers has become unacceptably high,” Van Kessel said in a statement. “Our divers performed an extremely difficult and dangerous task in the most testing of conditions and we are grateful for their professional service as well as the contributions of many other personnel who gave all their efforts to this challenging recovery operation.”

I have two questions i wish i can get an instant answers to.

1. How did he survive for 3 days. From my own view, this is beyond human comprehension

2. The look on the diver face when the guy grabbed him ( Wish that was caught on video)
