I have read about most of those people on that list .even before the advent of the Internet and Wikipedia.
Funny you only mentioned black people in Western countries.did you realy read about this people .especially on Benjamin Benneker?

Secondly
I never said Whites only contributed to Science or Civilization.
What i said is they Contributed far more than any other races combined.

In the country of the blind, the one-
eyed man is king ” – Erasmus

I'm confused here, whom are you referring to as white men? Turkish and chinese inclusive?
you said you read about these people B4 the age of the internet right, in what medium and where,bear in mind the internet came to Nigeria 1996 via Linkserve ltd.

I laugh . you did a car service program. using a whiteMan's knoweledge on Physics,Geography.computer, and you still don't understand how much they influenced your work.

Their are exceptional blacks. yes but all our acheivements are based on foundations mostly built by whites.

secondly U cannot compare and intiator to an imitator.
Newton wrote most of his laws of motion from observation and experiment. which we all make use of today.including U. they have influnced us more than U have ever influnced them.

I like to think I'm talking with someone of great reasoning here, Can you tell me the relationship between CAR SERVICE PROGRAM and what I just wrote or you don't understand what I was talking about,however if you don I am more than happy to explain to you waht it means,and it has nothing to do with car service.Assumption is a downwards way of thinking.You end up learning zero.

This is the part you are missing, the first Radios and TV where made in the UK, but are the Engineers in the UK the best when it comes to Electronics? answer NO the Japs are.You made refrence to Sir Isaac newton of blessed memory, he pioneered the reflective telescope .he used mirrors.Now Mirrors wher not his invention, they where made by someone else,If you delv deep into the history of mirors you will learn that the earliest mirrrors where made in Turkey circa 6000 BC.In Egypt mirrors found where dated 3000BC,these where made from obsidian.
SO as you can tell,even Newton used things and technology from Africa and Asia from back then,Im using mirrors as an Example as it forms a great deal of my work.
Re Initiator and Imitator, to Imitate is actually hard cos you want to remanufacture something to same standard as something else or even better, is that not what everyone does nowadays the chinese the first in the list? all you have to do is reverse technology and tweak a few bits.Would it not be nice to invest your time and tweak a few mirrors to provide night vision googles for our gallant troops to use in combat at night?
ALl Im saying is technology is a compound knowledge, you can never build everything from scratch, some knowledge are know as tool knowledge which forms the basis of everything,then we all start from there,some are natural others are man made.Examples, obsidian is a natural Mirror and we also have natural magnets too.. We have free force of nature that pushes everything down as in gravity I could go on and on but I will be speaking gibberish ,I'm hoping you get where I'm heading.

blueAgent:
U are Confused. which other Enivornment are U talking about and I asked U the Environment of the west who created it.?
both their physical and physcological Enivornment.

If you think deeply and are matured enough in the ways science work you will realize technological break fru comes as a result of research and desperation where there are no alternatives, if you have alternatives waht you will have is modernization.What I mean by Environment of physical challenges ie, I wont be thinking of making a machine that makes my room cold if I live in the artic, I would be thinking of making a machine that makes my room Hot.But you need to have a science brain to think in this frame of mind and I am afraid you dont.Calling one confused is something you get from someone who still get thier school fees paid.

80% of those on that list of inventors are scam. the rest benefitted from white man's education system.they only improve slightly what the white man has done. if i had time i would have disproved most of them with facts one after the other.

That's how U spread false information. No SINGLE person invented the internet. and Philip Emeagwali was no where near anything called internet.

just look at the people you call SCAM, for the simple fact you could not bring yourself to accept the fact that they did what they did in exceptional and most difficult situation under strong racial segregation.

Why did Nigerians know that they had crudeoil. when the west have been producing theirs for over80yrs .it took the white man's assistance before they could know that they had oil .how much more how to produce it.

U talk of environment . but U fail to ask Urself who created a better environment for the west. or environment fall from the sky.

The farms the white Zimbabewe farmers where farming was the same farm given to blacks. and they could not manage it. its that not an existing good environment. i mean the whites worked those farms and made Zimbabewe the food basket of Southern Africa.

Detriot known as the automobile capital of the world today it is 85%black populated .filled with crime,Slums,today the government is raising money to demonlish large parts of the city.a city that has existed for over a century under white rule. just 50yrs under black rule,with blacks as mayors ,city councilors, City police chiefs. the city has filed for bankruptcy.
Same story with Birmingham,Baltimore,Selma,Chicago. e.t.c U can google about this issues.

well I don't think you ar reasoning deep into waht I said,Environment dont just mean your physical environment, you are talking about farming, land and weather these are all physical, i don't know where you live but you cant be hungry and read then understand,you cannot read i n heat and mosquito and understand.So Detroit is for blacks alone yeah?no whites?

blueAgent:
So how many of the formulars and theories in your on branch of engineering did your black brothers discover or establish.
U think UK realied on U and other Nigerians to attain their present level of development?

yes unfortunately, some part of the Uk rely on me.A certain council in west london was able to make £50m from vehicle moving contravention due to a development in self tracking ANPR Camera I did.if we go on well on this discussion I am more than happy to point you a link.I also have a friend here who is into medical research,he did something that would land him in jail but the Judge said he was too important to be put i n jail, so he was fined and let go.This got to do with stern cells.
Look the bottom line is there are loads of intelligent black people everywhere, mayBE you have not been privileged to meet them.

Leiman100:
Please stop deceiving people just because you don't like the face of some people, the resumption of this deport begins and end with this newspaper report you just posted, it never came to pass, is a PDP propaganda then like the the ground breaking ceremony of the second Niger bridge., that is why the minister of petroleum odered the proper opening now after carrying out a thorough repairs of the pipe

Guy did you just wake up? you are still saying the 2nd Niger bridge was a Scam?So Amaechi suspended a bridge that was a scam,Mehn some people shaaa.So you mean to say up till now you did not see the works done on the 2nd Niger bridge
And waht is proper opening? so fake opening still dey? guy abeg go return your school fees sharp sharp ,with interest.

obailala:
But an engineering professor claimed it was witches and wizards while the lawyer claim it is due to interruptions in gas supply to power stations and an incapacity of the available transmission network to offload the power generated.

The point here is simple, the problem is mainly administrative and being an engineer or lawyer doesn't change nothing.

Plz post this witches and wizard links I'm waiting.

vislabraye:
You guys are funny. Did you actually read the caption well ? The all time low during Gej's era was 1327mw. But the time of change, the all time low is 0mw. Btw 0 and 1327, which is more

Bross you wonder why dem call dem zombies? ?

obailala:
The last person who manned it was a professor of engineering. When power kept fluctuating erratically from 4000 to 2000 to 4500 to 1000, the learned professor claimed witches and wizards were responsible. Keep blaming Buhari and Fashola

stuhporh:
Bros please dont spread this kind of news, that depot doesnt work.

If you don't know the depot in question then relax.it's not by force that you have to comment

989900B:
We all wail (criticize); it's not a competition.

It becomes a problem when wailing uncontrollably for both good and bad turns into a habit -- that's not wailing, that's 'piss-poor-nagging', or thoughtlessness if you will.

Wether anyone likes it or not it has come so stay

mavinc4u:
and what if this administration opened it and it didn't work for a month? besides the news said it had been suspended for 16 years. To be honest, was it really fixed by this administration that is yet to finalised the budget because i don't understand some things here. just curious.

So at this stage U still believe news from this govt? ??

989900B:
Kachickwu is working, I mean he's trying to do something, instead of wailing, why don't y'all wailers try to do something positive too -- anything.

Wailing is an action.it compels the FG to sit up and let the whole world know wa g wan in Ibo do Nigeria.
Feel free to collect form GOC.

DaniDani:
Just as you know nothing about aba depot. for clearance of doubt. Aba fuel depot is located along osisioma industrial layout, a stone throw from Osisioma Local Government Headquarters. The depot is in opposite of First bank, Diamond bank, Moribund Zenith Bank. There's a military base behind firsthand opposite the depot. that area is my root and I can tell about all the activities going on around that area. Frankly speaking, that was re-opened after a long time closure due vandalism and breakage of pipelines in 2014 by joint effort of Thief A. Orji, Rivers SG, and FG. APC can only in order to take the glory that they reopened the said depot and only CERTIFIED ZOMBIES like you will accept this pathetic lie

Ahah nothing we nor go see bro leave zombies to eat nails and grass with jellof rice in mind jor.MayB dem think say we dey 2014.thus is how we are hearing different stories of power generation.

diegwu01:
commissioned, but it never operated for one day. stop hating unnecessarily

Oga where in the write up did you see comisioned? It clearly says re open. Stop hating bro.

OBAGADAFFI:
He pointed out that presently, the country has ove 12,500MW of installed electricity generating capacity, consisting of gas thermal and hydropower plants, stating of that capacity, about 7,000MW is available to be generated if the required fuel is available


So PDP left 12,500MW electricity generation capacity. Yet APC is promising 10,00W by 2018.

Hahah good point.they are conning ti terms with reality. They can't even guarantee %80 of installed capacity.

Fhemmmy:
But why cant we tap into solar power generating system?

Extremely expensive. The cheapest source of energy is Nuclear plant.but our level nor reach there

Trexnemesis:
What of the "housing scheme" FG started around 1995 (or so) when Gen. Abdulkarim Adisa was minister of Works & Housing? They collected our money and nothing happin. It's on record the FG did Nigerians 419.

You should at least see the house b4 you pay.if you pay without seeing any house OYO for you.

Hollawaley:
Bastards, sonsofbitc.hes, so if i cant pay for like a month or two, i've forfeited it all. All the money av been paying since abi? Its bcuz of people like you, people like me are made. You'll be assasinated you and all your cohorts, tinubu. Buhari, ajimobi ,tokyo ,buratai e.t.c You are dead men.. Deadmen... Dead men alive.
The vigilante has spoken

Calm down if you can't pay the house get seized by the bank,sold on auction. Bank takes thier mo eu remaining and give you the change. They will charge you administrat I've fess plus early repayment fees. .

Black Inventorse > Black Inventors

Black Inventors through American History

George Alcorn
Not many inventors have resumes as impressive as George Edward Alcorn's. Among his credits, the African-American inventor received a B.A. in physics, a master's degree in nuclear physics and a Ph.D in atomic and molecular physics. Despite such impressive credentials, Alcorn is probably most famous for his innovation of the imaging x-ray spectrometer.


Benjamin Banneker
In the Stevie Wonder song "Black Man," the Motown marvel sings of Benjamin Banneker: "first clock to be made in America was created by a black man." Though the song is a fitting salute to a great inventor (and African Americans in general), it only touches on the genius of Benjamin Banneker and the many hats he wore – as a farmer, mathematician, astronomer, author and land surveyor.


Dr. Patricia Bath
Imagine living in a world ranging from hazy, clouded vision to that of total darkness for 30 years. Before 1985, that was the plight of those with cataracts who did not want to risk surgery with a mechanical grinder. Now imagine sitting in a doctor's office without being able to see her as she explains that it may be possible to restore your vision.


Otis Boykin
Few inventors have had the lasting impact of Otis Boykin. Look around the house today and you'll see a variety of devices that utilize components made by Boykin – including computers, radios and TV sets. Boykin's inventions are all the more impressive when one considers he was an African American in a time of segregation and the field of electronics was not as well-established as it is today.


Marie Van Brittan Brown
While home security systems today are more advanced than ever, back in 1966 the idea for a home surveillance device seemed almost unthinkable. That was the year famous African-American inventor Marie Van Brittan Brown, and her partner Albert Brown, applied for an invention patent for a closed-circuit television security system.


George Washington Carver
Generally, when people think of famous African-American inventors, one of the first names that springs to mind is George Washington Carver. Perhaps most famously, Carver discovered over 300 different uses for peanuts – including making cooking oil, axle grease and printer's ink.


George Crum
Every time a person crunches into a potato chip, he or she is enjoying the delicious taste of one of the world's most famous snacks – a treat that might not exist without the contribution of black inventor George Crum. 


Dr. Mark Dean
As a child, Mark Dean excelled in math. In elementary school, he took advanced level math courses and, in high school, Dean even built his own computer, radio, and amplifier. Dean continued his interests and went on to obtain a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, a masters degree in electrical engineering from Florida Atlantic University and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford.


Dr. Charles Richard Drew
It's impossible to determine how many hundreds of thousands of people would have lost their lives without the contributions of African-American inventor Dr. Charles Drew. This physician, researcher and surgeon revolutionized the understanding of blood plasma – leading to the invention of blood banks.


Kenneth J. Dunkley
Kenneth J. Dunkley is currently the president of the Holospace Laboratories Inc. in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. He is best known for inventing Three Dimensional Viewing Glasses (3-DVG) – his patented invention that displays 3-D effects from regular 2-D photos without any type of lenses, mirrors or optical elements.


Dr. Philip Emeagwali
Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1957. Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees. However, his father continued teaching him at home and everyday Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour.


Dr. Betty Harris
Born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana, the young Betty Harris was interested in chemistry. At college she obtained a BS degree in chemistry from Southern University and an MS degree in chemistry from Atlanta University.


Dr. Shirley Jackson
Dr. Shirley Jackson, a theoretical physicist, has been credited with making many advances in science. She first developed an interest in science and mathematics during her childhood and conducted experiments and studies such as on the eating habits of honeybees. She followed this interest to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she received a bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree, all in the field of physics.


Lonnie G. Johnson
An anonymous source said of the Super Soaker®: "I got fired from a job once because of my Super Soaker. I guess that's what happens when you accidentally drench a customer when you're trying to get a co-worker who ducks."


Frederick McKinley Jones
Anytime you see a truck on the highway transporting refrigerated or frozen food, you're seeing the work of Frederick McKinley Jones. One of the most prolific Black inventors ever, Jones patented more than 60 inventions in his lifetime.


Garrett A. Morgan
Many of the world's most famous inventors only produced one major invention that garnered recognition and cemented their prominent status. But Garret Augustus Morgan, one of the country's most successful African-American inventors, created two – the gas mask and the traffic signal.


Valerie Thomas
Did you ever think of what it might be like if your television could project the on-screen image directly into your living room as a 3-Dimensional image? Maybe not, but if it happens, you may have Valerie Thomas to thank for it.


John Henry Thompson
Even in high school, John Henry Thompson was interested in computer programming languages. He taught himself several programming languages such as FORTRAN, PLI, COBOL and JCL while working in a New York research facility. Thompson's goal was to absorb as much knowledge as possible so he could develop his own computer language.


James E. West
Ninety percent of microphones used today are based on the ingenuity of James Edward West, an African-American inventor born in 1931 in Prince Edwards County, VA. If you've ever talked on the telephone, you've probably used his invention.

The parallel rate still makes no sense since not everybody gets it from the banks
The banks should be urged as a matter of urgency to revert to the cbn rate for online transactions and atm
The cbn and parallel market rate is too high

I employ you to read more I to history.
I am a modern day Engineer in the UK. I also know the history of my profession.

davodguy:
For the open minded, I decided to open this thread.
President Buhari has received lots of criticism over the current challenges of the country. In all fairness, the man has genuine interest in turning for the better fortunes of this country, but some people who may still be bitter by the loss of their hero, sees nothing good in anything PMB is doing or has done so far.

I decided to create this topic to actually verify if Nigeria was indeed better under Jonathan than it is now, under PMB.
Power sector is the first to examine

Under GEJ January to April, 2015


Under PMB



Causes of drop in power supply under GEJ



Causes of drop in supply under PMB



Its very clear from the foregoing that the magic that GEJ couldn't perform from May 2010 to May 2015, its not easy for buhari to do same within 11 months

Op you must be 16 years old, or have the mentality as such,.Mind telling us what PMB added to the power sector as we speak to date?
Even the APC govt had come out to give credit to the past administrators for increasing our capacity in the power sector, ,Im expecting at the end of 4 years we should be talking of 6000 nothing less.

Hafizufizy:
wailer learn to read well ,the news said 5 of them meaning the rest either escaped or surrendered.

Instead of dismissing him, we should all learn to ask strong questions and demand answers for those we pay to secure our lives and safety, more so the responsibility of correct news rest on the Journalist who put this news out and to the publishers of the news as well not just giving us Newsy news.Assumption steers in tow ways +ve and -Ve

No single weapon was found on them,not even catapult which means they wont be able to resist

profiling...speak of Animalistic behaviour.

I don't support boko-haram but all northerners are not boko-haram.
