Member of Israhell's propaganda Hasbara (propagander) department, una welcome. You've come again with noise. Hezbollah has promised to cut off the cables, now they have. Why is this news? If you want to stop disturbances from them, tell your bosses to stop the war on innocent civilians. In over 4 months, how many Hamas memebers have the killed while they killed and displaced civilians from their homes, now theyre talking about building beach houses on stolen Palestinian homes. You people are viciously wicked for supporting this kind of terror. Israhell and it's supporters will be destroyed in this world and the next.



No amount of lies and hasbara propaganda can hide the fact that ISRAHELL KILLED ITS OWN PEOPLE ON THE 7TH!!!!!!! The evidence id everywhere, only people with sub-zero IQs still gulp down your wattery bulllshit.

You are so correct. Up to the point that isreal kidnapped their own people and hand them over to hamas.
You taquiyya operative

Eriokanmi:
How, why did Palestine hamas attack them? Why didn't they allow the sleeping dog lie jejelly? They caused all what they're facing now, not Istrael.

They acted stupidly

The attack is well timed to disrupt the stabilization of relationship between Israel and Saudi.
Terrorist Iran can't have it

Asswipemod:
Why are you guys so unintelligent, predictable and crass? Do you get any financial value from the "likes" that you generate from each disjointed and insane comment you post on this forum? Why is inferiority and "notice me" complexes so deeply hidden in your bloodstream that you have to make people think that all Igbos behave like this? Why are you hellbent on tarnishing or even destroying the image of the people of the SE?

After blowing big Grammer to sound intelligent, you still made no sense and didn't address the main issue.

Masterrhymes:

franktech:
Na play you day. Me I do not talk to anyone both in my apartment building made up of 12 flats and also do not associate or greet people in my street. If there is a meeting in the compound I avoid going but will comply with any decision they make. I noticed that due to this I have a high level of respect in the street. At least 90% of the girls in my street are giving me green light. I avoid them too till today

Dey your lane but once in a while, buy them gifts, bottles, general phcn sub or share rice if God bless you, then lock up for another 6 months.
You go see say in a very good day if medical or any emergency sop, people go gallant for you

What was the trick? Do share

I intentionally didn't buy a condom before her arrival and I refuse to go and buy after she came

sienna116:
Thank you guys for your honest response. But c'mon guys, what happened to forgiveness?

You well?

Since one of my subordinate got completely naked in front of me when visiting and I didn't sex her, seduction don't faze me. I didn't even believe I would stay rooted without doing anything. Tho a trick helped me

Vijuchoco:
Lol... This is really funny

How people reason such baffles me

That your sister no get joy, tho it's all good.

As for the Niger state lady, try proxy escalate it to protect the girl. As for how, I no know

I am Igbo but a lot of Igbo small and medium scale business would be swept by modernisation if they refuse to embrace modern business practices and technology .

You agree to serve someone for years with no legal agreement and no legal contract and no lawyer involved.

No worry, because your brothers will always adapt and grow

Many of deaths on this thread were caused by cancer. I wonder if these governments spending billions to go to the moon could just spare a fraction and R& a cancer cure.

Remember Manhattan project? Something similar. A congregation of the best medical brains to find a cure for cancer.

The statistics reads cancer mainly, expecting the solution from those that caused it, is like playing a zero sum game.

Our earlier generations were like a particular tribe I read of in pakistan, where the writer listed the things they do and eat that kept them majorly above 100years of age. And how they had no processed food

Judolisco:
I'm not talking based on any sentiments here oga..... If na performance based on 8 yrs as governor... Then Peter obi can't lace Tinubu's shoe.... I'm not a tinubu fan and I don't like his style of godfatherism.... But even fashola, ambode and sanwo-olu Tinubu's all Tinubu's children are miles better than Peter obi.... U guys voted based on tribalism in d last election.... Ur claim that u vote only competent leaders should show in your individual states with d kind of governors you've voted in the past and their performances....

If an average leader from Finland or Norway handled Lagos economy that tinubu made clueless, Lagos would have been better than Luxembourg

Stop being small minded. With the type of Lagos revenue, any average leader would have to Lagos to Singapore. But tinubu took Lagos from Cameroon to Jamaica and you Yorubas are praising the criminal.

Po took Anambra from Barbados to a knock off Kigali.
Both are poor, but po showed more effort, parttern and frame work

Judolisco:
oga no need to shalaye... He asked a simple question and he supported it with data.... D south easterners voted based on tribalism... There's no way Peter obi is more competent than tinubu or Atiku... He is jst younger than them....

if you say bat is more competent than po, then you're talking with sentiment.
I'll give po 35% and tinubu 12.5% ( the 12.5% comes mostly from his experience in organized crime, which he replicated in Lagos in terms of using foot soldiers to extort the populace)

Heheheheheheh

Ronaldo that will be throwing tantrums

NevetsIbot:
Lol. Coming from someone who was somewhat in your shoes. I didn’t cohabit or anything but I was with a leech. And oh.. I’m financially bouyant to an extent and I still felt her fangs deep in my finances.

My advice!! That girl doesn’t love you. Woman wey love you go pity you. Spend her money on you. When a woman loves you, she acts like a mother.

LEAVE HER ASAP.

Break up and leave!!! She’s not supportive and trust me bro…..
.
.
TRUST ME!!!
No matter the amount of love a woman swears to you! She will waste no second to leave you when you can no longer serve the purpose she needs you to serve. SHE WILL LEAVE WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE!! Women are the most selfish, self serving and absorbed species of any life form that is existing and ever existed.

We are agemates and I can tell you… we never reach that stage to dey do husband and daddy duties!!

With mine.. I started with doing things for her even when she didn’t earn it. I turned her into an entitled person at the end. You also started to provide fully without asking her to contribute… If you can’t continue it on the long run, don’t even start it. Thats a big lesson I learned when it comes to the world of women.


Bro.. it’s gon be heard to let go cos you did a lot and invested a lot but man.. You ain't moving forward! You ain’t making progress. You don’t even have savings. Better send her out of your life and focus on yourself and your finances. Love yourself and live your life.

Woman that loves you act like a mother.
Deep

defashan:
Kanu got carried away with the victory that he took attention and shine away from Vice President Shettima. That was rude and the boys were distracted by him that they also ignored and disrespected the vp.

Kanu should not complain when the President and Lagos state government serve him with ‘remove’ notice on his properties and hotels in Lagos failure which Sanwo Olu would send bulldozers to pull them down to rubbles.

Even silly Moffi Terem and Leftie nonentity Iheanacho were singing and neglecting the vp and his body guard.

E no go better for you

AlexBells:
He is responsible for several disgrace to Nigeria starting from
Taking the world best from mikel, to disgracing Enyama like that devil never let an opportunity slide witout breaking my heart, I can’t ever love him.

you sayings proves that Messi is pure talent. I think you should like him

Astra101:
Mine was online. Back in 2018 i was searching for a professional programmer that can code my trading bot. I put up ads on different trading forums. I got quite a lot of feedback from good software engineers.

I segments the jobs cos i don't want anybody to have a full version of my bot. I paid some American, Russians and Chinese developers for different sections of the code. The last stage was a tricky and complex one. The cost was around $10k. At this stage i was running out of cash so i was practically begging some other programmers who has participated in the initial department stage to lower the cost.

Nah so one Singaporean guy chatted me with the hope of helping. Omo i was happy only for the homo to tell me that he will no longer help out cos my country is anti-gay.

He said i must write to Singaporean embassy in Nigeria stating that my gay right is being
infringe upon and seek asylum before he
could helped. I blocked the f@got ASAP!

is the bot still working successfully?

noobody:
It's in Nigeria we consider beef/chicken/fish as luxury.

Abroad,protein is very important,
Steak is usually served as a main course meal and also you also see food served with loads of protein and just little food as the side.

Them dey talk A, you dey talk B with confident

Rolings:
I'm sure you are one of those going on and on about Israel because of the oxymoron called Christian Zionism.
You fools only want Isreal to exist because you believe if Jesus is to come back it's to the land of the Jews......so Israel must exist for Christ to come back

You, why don't you want Israel to exist?

Goodoption:
I've been following you guys, una dey try abeg

I'm on a break, trying to buy back my time for second coming and come back stronger.

No gree for this hustle

na them be the real MVP
Honestly

I feel like ranting, but even me myself I'm not helping matters.
In the municipal level alone, there lot of things we can do to provide cheap education, electricity, employment and food. Do let's stop waiting on the government and be organized first.




The neglected clean heat we flush down the drains



In this Vancouver suburb, innovative technology is harnessing heat from wastewater and using it as a renewable energy source to heat homes.

In the midst of winter, the streets of Vancouver will be carpeted with a light layer of snow, punctuated by steaming openings where it has already melted. The access holes to the drains below ground are caused by the heat flowing through the city's sewers, warming up the pavements. "There's enough heat in the sewerage system to literally heat up neighbourhoods," remarks Derek Pope, manager of neighbourhood energy for the city of Vancouver, Canada. "That's what we've been doing here in False Creek since 2010."

The residents of False Creek, a recently redeveloped neighbourhood of Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada, get their energy from a rather unusual renewable source – their sewage wastewater. Increasingly, municipalities around the globe are harnessing this underground form of excess heat as they decarbonise their energy networks.

Residents in the 6,210 apartments in the False Creek neighbourhood get their heat from renewable energy sources, with sewage heat being the largest contributor.



Everything that goes down our drains ends up as sewage water – from what we flush down the toilet, to what comes out of our baths and washing machines. Down the pipe it flows, eventually ending up in a wastewater treatment plant where it is chemically, biologically and mechanically cleaned and treated, ready to be recirculated back into our homes once again. But the heat that's generated from the dishwasher or a long, hot shower is generally forgotten about once it washes down the plughole, explains Pope. Instead it heads underground, and straight into the sewer systems – escaping out of vents and melting through winter snow.

Heat in water is relatively easy to harness once it's in the sewage system because it's contained – and no, any heat recovered isn't going to smell. By comparison, heat in the air quickly escapes out of windows, doors, and roofs. In addition, there's plenty of hot wastewater to work with. In 2020, experts at the London South Bank University estimated that energy from the UK's daily 16 billion litres of sewage wastewater could, in theory, provide more than 20TWh of heat energy annually – enough to provide space heating and hot water to 1.6 million homes. Over in the US, Americans flush an estimated 350TWh of energy down the drain each year – the equivalent of heating 30 million homes a year.

There's enough heat in the sewerage system to literally heat up neighbourhoods – Derek Pope
Tucked under a Vancouver bridge, an energy centre sits on top of the existing sewage pumping station so heat can be captured before sewage reaches the treatment plant. Heat pumps cool down warm sewage that's around 20C (68F) in temperature and concentrate that heat to produce scalding hot water which can be as high as 80C (176F), Pope explains. "What's really exciting is that our heat recovery system operates at efficiencies of over 300%, so for every unit of electricity that we put in to run the heat pump, we get over three units of thermal energy or heat out of it." Sewage is also consistently warm so heat pumps continue to operate efficiently even on cold wintry days when heat demand is highest – providing a constant source of renewable energy.

In the EU, buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption. Heating, cooling and domestic hot water account for 80% of the energy that we, as citizens, consume. In Vancouver, Pope explains, buildings are responsible for more than 50% of the city's greenhouse gas emissions, because the main way the city heats its buildings and produces hot water is by combusting natural gas. "So utilising waste heat is one of the tools in our toolbelt to transition away from that," he says. "This is a really good platform for reducing emissions at the neighbourhood scale, especially in areas in dense populations."

Harnessing sewage heat is a "missed opportunity", according to Semida Silveira, professor in systems engineering at Cornell University in the US. "There's a lot of heat in the world that we just throw away. Today, we have a lot of energy inefficiency," Silveira explains, pointing out that energy efficiency could resolve half of the targets for carbon reductions in the US.

Energy efficiency is overlooked because it's invisible, Silveira adds. Yet, the International Energy Agency, the global authority for the energy sector, refers to energy efficiency as "the first fuel" – a simple and cost-effective way to reduce demand and strengthen energy security. Excess heat is the world's largest untapped energy source according to a 2023 report published by global engineering firm Danfoss. The report highlights how surplus heat produced in the EU – the heat released from transport networks, factories, data centres, sewage systems and so on – could provide heat for almost the entire region if harnessed effectively.

Excess heat within the sewage system is being successfully captured and repurposed in some towns and communities, like False Creek.

Once the heat running through False Creek's sewage pipes is recovered by heat pumps a five-mile-long (8.3km) pipe network, known as a thermal grid, distributes heat back to the district's 44 buildings. "In each building, heat exchangers transfer heat out from the closed-loop water system into the buildings' heat system and domestic hot water pipes, then cool water recirculates back to the energy plant," Pope explains.

At False Creek's sewage heat recovery system, construction is underway to expand. Heat pump capacity is being tripled from 3 megawatts (MW) to more than 9MW. "That's a big milestone for the utility," says Pope who has noticed "an explosion" of district energy systems across the Greater Vancouver region, with many using or planning to use sewage heat as their primary source of energy, as opposed to fossil fuels such as natural gas.

As part of Vancouver's climate emergency action plan, the False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility, which is owned and operated by the city, is developing a roadmap for heat sources to be fully renewable by 2030. By then, Pope envisages most systems will use a combination of waste heat, thermal storage, and other renewables to meet decarbonisation targets.

The question is, who's going to pay for that? – Semida Silveira
The biggest challenge is a lack of integrated, forward-thinking urban planning, argues Pope: "We need to start viewing waste heat as a resource and find ways to incorporate that into our city planning." While he acknowledges there's some upfront capital cost, Pope explains the neighbourhood energy unit in False Creek is set to recover its outgoings; residents pay utility rates and the cost of low-carbon energy is relatively low, plus the recent expansion has been part-funded by a grant that supports projects reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Next, he wants to see more municipal governments make that step to implementation.

Investing in infrastructure that uses this form of excess heat as a resource makes financial sense because wastewater treatment is such an energy-intensive process. Water treatment plants eat up an estimated 30-40% of municipal electricity bills, according to a 2017 report by the Congressional Research Service, a US-based public policy research institute. By harnessing sewage heat, wastewater treatment plants could become energy producers rather than energy consumers. In the Danish city of Aarhus, the Marselisborg wastewater treatment plant produces more energy than it needs to treat and distribute water for the 200,000 people it services, by recovering waste heat and processing waste sludge to produce biogas. The potential in excess heat from wastewater treatment plants in Denmark, a country of 5.8 million inhabitants, corresponds to 600-700MW, according to the Danish Water and Wastewater Association. That's the equivalent of two fairly large power plants, meaning a potential to heat about 20% of all households with carbon-neutral heat sourced from sewage.

Change, Silveira believes, is on the horizon. "Urban planners always used to think about land use, transport, functionalities, but today many municipalities are thinking in terms of energy too," she says. But well-designed policy is crucial. Silveira says the key question for municipalities is whether to capture heat from sewage water at a local level (by capturing hot shower water in buildings, for example) or at a more centralised level (once sewage water reaches the treatment plant). While property owners might want to recapture excess heat within the buildings directly to reduce their energy bills, water treatment plants might prefer more heat to reach them via warm sewage so they don't have to buy-in extra heat. The technology exists for homeowners to capture excess heat – for example, the steam from a hot shower – which can be funnelled back into the home's own heating system. However, it's costly. "If you're going to solve the problem, you're going to have to make an investment, so the question is, who's going to pay for that?" Silveira asks.

In Sweden, a cold country with high heat demands, district heating systems like False Creek's are commonplace. In densely populated areas, they are "a fantastic way to distribute waste heat" from a variety of sources, including sewage, says Silveira, who has been studying the wastewater heat recovery system in Stockholm that provides heat to about 800,000 residents. "The Stockholm system is totally underground, you don't see or hear anything, there's no smell," she explains.

Like in Aarhus, Stockholm's sewage heat recovery produces biogas from digested sludge. That biogas is used as bus fuel by the city's public transport network. "You can do a lot to improve the circularity of a city if you have these centralised solutions," says Silveira who emphasises that Sweden's pioneering carbon tax system has also been "instrumental" because it provided the incentive for the heating sector to use waste heat and move away from fossil fuels.

Carbon count

The travel emissions it took to report this story were 0kg CO2. The digital emissions from this story are an estimated 1.2g to 3.6g CO2 per page view. Find out more about how we calculated this figure here.

So successful harnessing of surplus heat from sewage is not just about technology, as Silveira explains. There has to be buy-in at government-level. "Political organisation and regulations influence which direction the decision makers choose to go, and political will depends on what they perceive as possible." She explains that in Sweden, centralised solutions like district heating have worked well because municipalities have the power to make these kinds of long-term decisions.

But even in countries like the UK where local councils don't have as much sway, or where urban areas aren't yet set up for district heating, sewage heat can still be repurposed and used to operate water treatment plants and provide clean water and sanitation. "If water treatment plants can use that energy internally, that's a big thing that most cities can do," says Silveira. Already, wastewater heat recovery projects are underway around the world, including in London's Kingston-upon-Thames, Oslo in Norway and Beijing, China.

Back in False Creek, there are tangible benefits for residents. Noisy heat pumps and boiler equipment operate within the energy centre, so rooftops of residential buildings that would otherwise have been home to heating infrastructure are being repurposed as communal gardens and green roofs. Maintenance is centralised, carried out by professionals and paid for by the neighbourhood energy unit – plus customers are protected from fuel price volatility, Pope says. "By connecting to a system that operates at a very high efficiency, you're sheltered from price swings in gas or electricity."

Pope hopes that False Creek will inspire other municipalities to decarbonise their thermal grids. "The local emission reductions that we're realising are great but where we can really amplify the effect of what the city is doing is by sharing what's worked and what hasn't, then help others make confident investments in low carbon energy."

That is the United States, this is Nigeria!

Not so many times that I can count.
Maybe the answer lies with the judiciary.

How?

We are meant to pay tax, perform civic duties etc and there are consequences for not playing our roles( government hold us up to that).
Inexchange for government protection and social amenities.






I was read a story, where a girl and her mother sued a particular US state police for not protecting her from a rapist. She won and was awarded millions of dollars as compensation.

folake4u:
Hi again.

There's no cause of action in this case. It is not incumbent on the government to protect farmers.

I used to think we have a social contract with government.

Hi there.

Such class action will fail.

Ok thanks. How I wish it won't, so we can sit up as a people.
Flakky please can you explain to an engineering student (me) why it will fail.
But if you ain't ok with these questions, you can let it slide.
Thanks plenty
