Politics / Nigeria's Name To Be Changed? by DIYTechnologies: 5:04pm On Mar 13, 2013
Two clerics, Monsignor Gabriel Osu and Imam Shuaib Abdullahi, have jointly advised the Federal Government never to change the name, Nigeria, which had been in use for some 100 years ago.

The clerics who spoke in Lagos on Wednesday, noted that a name change was not what Nigerians needed now, but how their challenges would be addressed.

Prof. Tekena Tamuno, Chairman, Centenary Committee, had recommended that the name Nigeria be changed to ‘Commonwealth of Nigeria.'

According to Tamuno, the change must take effect from the 1 Jan. 2014, when the country will be marking the 100th anniversary, following the amalgamation of its northern and southern protectorates by the British in 1914.

Tamuna, an Emeritus Professor, made his call  at an annual lecture of the Nigeria Academy of Letters, organised to mark the nation’s centenary anniversary.

Osu, who is also the Director of Communication, Catholic Diocese of Lagos, said that the government should address the challenges in the country rather than attempting to spend money on a name change.

“Why should Nigeria’s name be changed? Is the change our problem? Our problem is hunger, poverty, no water, no electricity, high rate of unemployment and so on.

“Our name is very good, the problem is human beings that are Nigerians; they should not spend billions again in changing names, while the masses are living in abject poverty and dying of hunger, “ he said.

Osu said that the billions of naira the government would spend in changing the country’s name could be used to better the lives of Nigerians.

He advised the Federal Government not to consider such recommendation, saying, “it was needless“.

On his part, Abdullahi, Executive Director, Zakat and Fadaqat Foundation, said that it would be irrelevant changing the name Nigeria as there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Abdullahi said that it was the managers and leaders of the country Nigeria that needed a positive change and transformation.

“There is nothing wrong with the name Nigeria, but there is something wrong with the leaders of Nigeria.

“The name Nigeria is our name, our brand and has become part and parcel of our lives. All we need is to improve on our dented image in terms of positive change in the style of leadership and total re-branding, “ he said.

He, however, advised government to find solutions to numerous problems confronting Nigerians rather than thinking of a name change. (NAN)

Politics / Re: 2015: Buhari, Tinubu Meet In Kaduna. by DIYTechnologies: 7:34am On Feb 28, 2013
grafikii: The leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday visited the leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, in Kaduna where the duo engaged in a series of discussions.

Although the discussion which lasted almost three hours was held behind closed doors, Tinubu briefed our correspondent shortly after their meeting ended and gave an insight into the purpose of his visit.

“I am here just to consult with the general on the new merger party, the APC that has come to be, and to look at the various options for a one-man-one-vot e in the country,” he said.

On the workability of the merger, Tinubu expressed optimism that the merger will not just work but will rescue the country from its present situation which, he said, is nothing to write home about. He said: “The merger will definitely work out this time round. I have been very consistent about it; it is only through strong determination and commitment and the sacrifice of the people; it is not only about us as individuals. You have a lot of speculations going on this time round: they have even chosen our presidential candidate for us and all of that, to determine all the sorts of things that we do. It is a banner headline in Nigerian Tribune, but that is the story of people who are already afraid and scared of the unity of purpose that is coming up in the country.

“In essence, we are all committed to democratic principles and values for this country, and a united body ready to rescue the nation with one mission, vision, and one single commitment to alleviate the problems of the masses.

“It is not about individual, it is not about General Buhari. If he wanted money from the government, he would always get it, but he stands for the truth and the masses and the redemption of our democratic value, justice and progress for all -- these are the things that we need to harness the opportunity that is here in this country, to get it moving and moving forward, not the manner it’s been going in the past 16 years.”

On the allegation that the new merging party (APC) is making plans to woo serving and past Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors into it, Tinubu said “if that is a strategy on our part, should I tell you?”

“The facts remain that we must talk to everybody and must woo them. If the PDP chairman, Bamanga Tukur, is interested, let him look through; we will invite him and talk to him. APC is a party to stay with, work with and to share the vision of eliminating corruption, ineptitude in governance and lack of employment for our people. “If you are threatened by lack of security, enter an APC; if you have migraine or persistent headache use APC,” he said.

For his part, Buhari said he concurred with all that was said by Tinubu. He also dared the PDP to counter his statement when he said the PDP had merged with INEC, police, judiciary and the pension funds ahead of the 2015 general elections.

He said, “If it (PDP) and its chieftains are going to counter me they should. You can go and study the three judicial or Supreme Court judgements of 2003, 2007 and 2011 and get the hearings on NEPA, NNPC, pension scheme; whatever I said is factual.”

Politics / Re: Can Nigeria Become A Super Power Without Electricity? by DIYTechnologies: 7:20am On Feb 28, 2013
tim107: It is clear that without electricity there can be no industrial development and all those grand visions of becoming one of the world's leading economies by 2020 cannot be relaised.

For where? That is why we must begin to look for alternative means of power generation, especially for small scale industries, the engine room of development. Reliance on govt has to be very minimal in this sector. In the north, air turbines wud work well while in the south biomass can serve. Solar can work on either side of the divide. However besides all these, I am certain that there are other undiscovered cheaper and sustainable sources of power generation (even @ large scale) that God in His mercies will soon reveal to us.

Thanks

Science/Technology / Re: Will Inverter Usage Increase My Prepaid Meter Bill by DIYTechnologies: 6:42am On Feb 28, 2013
PasNet: Inverters, Solars systems, wind V systems. gas turbines etc are all alternative to energy (Power), it is just like switching from PHCN to your generator. so if u install an inverter system in ur house, then it shuld reduce drastically the rate at which you consume ur pre-paid usage, it will never increase it.

For installations and consultancy contact us @our show room Suit F112/113 Ikota shopping complex VGC Ajah Lagos.

You are misconstruing his question. The guy will only use inverter when PHCN strikes. While would he be using inverter when the PHCN is on? And it is with PHCN that the inverter can be recharged. More so, it is only when PHCN is on that the electricity card reads.

You just wan sell market sha.

Science/Technology / Re: Will Inverter Usage Increase My Prepaid Meter Bill by DIYTechnologies: 10:40pm On Feb 27, 2013
I think it would it will increase your bills eventually. This is because the inverter uses electricity (PHCN) to recharge the batteries. I currently use a 24v/2kva inverter (mercury) and I know the pressure it exacts on my generator when I have to use it. I also discovered that that my meter reads faster than my neighbours own even though they were all installed the same day. Our meter is showing
6-month reading of 1,676 while those of My neigbors shows 1260(with ACs and deep freezer)and 700. I don't even have an AC. The only thing I use that my neigbour does not use is the inverter. They use deep freezer, micro-wave, tv, industrial fans etc just like I do. So I really think it does exact on your consumption eventually.

Thx

Science/Technology / Re: Self-powered (fuelless) Generator Design by DIYTechnologies: 10:13pm On Feb 27, 2013
If you use the alternator or electric motor from a generator that uses a kickstarter, it would have an inbuilt diode that steps down the power to exactly what the battery needs to charge. I am about to try that.

You can get the DC motors only as second-hand, usually removed from a forklift. But whatever motor u get, please check the voltage. Some are 12v while some are 24v, the trailer size batteries. Some could even be higher. But for a simple 1.5kva gen, the 12v will suffice.

Finally, this is an idea in the making. Further inputs, especially from professionals wuold be appreciated.

Thx

HAH: Please don't call this an aircraft because it is not flying. rather call it a toy or a wheel barrow cos any road side welder can construct that.

When you build something like this, you can re-post this. but before then, it is advisable you salt your post with some form of encouragement. Haba!

Science/Technology / Self-powered (fuelless) Generator Design by DIYTechnologies: 7:33pm On Dec 23, 2012
Hi,

This is a diagrammatic sketch of a Self-powered Electric Generator. I am not a professional in this field. I leave it to the sound engineers in the house to panel-beat this sketch with constructive inputs that will help Nigerians. I know for sure that this is doable. I have seen a couple of You tube videos to that effect. I also went to price a DC motor and the guy selling was asking if I wanted to use it for a "fueless" generator (so he could he jack the price up I guess). He claimed a couple of guys have bought from him for that purpose. My question is, if such technology is workable, why then allow many families die of generator fumes?

This is the diagram. Professionals should be introduce ideas/inputs that my layman sense may have overlooked. This could help a lot of persons.
