That's one very good Igbo woman. I hope th ipod yoots learn from her. Work hard an stop Protesting and doing ash.awo up and down.

A zinco just reported to duty, dragging IPOB into their madness and #Biafraphobia

#pathetic

Nnamdi Azikiwe? Another Owelle? I don't know him.

Tell me about Ojukwu or Kanu and I'll listen attentively.

#Thanks

Kudos

Impressive. Good for Ibadan.

I still prefer MyEnugu, any day, any time. Am madly in luv with the serenity.

SAINTSAMURAI:
Common!!! why the noise? will the export bring massive development to anambra state? its just a meager 5million dollar for christ sake. there are individual bussiness men that are making more than 5million dollars in export out of the country, yet they dnt make noise. we are talking about a country coming together as one, making proper use of her resources for the development of the nation. you are here disturbing us of 5million dollar rubbish that is not even enough to purchase a house in Abuja.

Atleast it can pay salaries.

The North, SE and SS each has atleast 2 big media houses, but why is it that of all the media houses, it was a Yoruba owned media that reported negatively?

When we saw SR, we were not surprised. A zinco can do anything.

omenka:
Samsung Flatrons should always learn to read before quoting Omenka.

Did the yoot say "National Assembly" or house of assembly??

By their dumbness, ye shall know them.

Now, get the Bleep out of my sight!

U are the one been stupid. Give the guy a break.

The NASS is a House of Assembly just the same way Abia State House of Assembly is. Both are houses of assembly.

Since the news is on the NASS, even a daft knows he is talking about the Nation's Assembly House, not that of any state.

Metallurgist:
what an idi0t, there is a thing called steam engine and crankshaft and that what you just explained, using steam to turn piston, into input stroke and output stroke for a complete 360 revolution. hmm classified research, classify my A$$

You just called me an idiot. No shaking.

For the record, am not talking abt steam engine. I guess u didn't go through my previous post before typing this. Am talking abt an internal combustion engine.

U don't have to insult to make a point. What you don't knw, you don't knw.

you claim to be a metallurgist but I guess you can't construct a simple block engine. U can't even get the correct alloy that can withstand the amount of heat generated in the combustion chamber, as well as the pressure exerted on the walls of the chamber by the gas.

Next time u criticise, make sure u are properly informed.

kayfra:
You have to split water into it's individual elementss using some form of electrolyte and then use hydrogen for combustion. You need as much energy to split the water up than the energy you will get from the engine that's even with 100% efficiency I.e no heat lost.

Not practical at the moment.

No engine is 100% efficient. U don't need that mch energy to split water into the constituent elements. Again, it wasn't hydrogen that we combusted. Yeah, we lost some energy through heat, but the engine holds potential, than we even anticipated.

Am impressed. U are an intelligent fellow.

kayfra:
Sorry to break it to you, but this has been around since the 19th century. It only lost favor to our current internal combustion engines

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_car

Steam engine is an external combustion system. The rushing steam into the cylinder is what moves the piston.

But what am talking abt is internal combustion. Water is converted into an inflamable gas a spark plug ignites. The burning gas in a combustion chamber expands, thereby pushing down the piston. You knw steam is not combustible, it can't burn. Rather you convert it into form that can be ignited by a spark plug.

I know about steam engine. Am not talking abt the shouting, smoking giant dinosaur. Am talking abt an internal combustion system.

kayfra:
Explain your process more. Any prototypes?

it is a classified research, so don't expect me to be elaborate.

To drive an engine with water, we try to mimic a petrol engine. You know petrol is able to power an engine becos it is volatile, it evaporates at any temporate. This gas is then collected in a chamber where it is combusted under pressure. The expansion of the gas is what pushes the piston down, to a mechanical movement.

So to simulate this with water, then you have to convert water to gas. The question now is, is it possible to convert water into gas? Yeah. We converted water into 2 different gases. Luckily for us, one of the gas was combustible. So we combusted the two gases under great pressure, and luckily for us again, it expanded. This expansion can push down a piston to 180%. But the challenge now is, how do we get the other 180% degree? We were working on that when the programme was shut down.

Believe me, one day, engine will run on water. I'll be mch happier if we can generate electricity from it. To me, it will be easier to generate electricity from water than using it to propel an automobile. But how mch electricity in MW can it generate. That is what I don't know.

What is more painful is not that US ridiculed us, but rather seeing Zombies celebrate this insult.

US don't even need 6 laptops to compromise our 'secret system'. Whatever secret they need is already on open source.

If you are talking about education,Yoruba still leads.You can go and read this thread...https://www.nairaland.com/2913833/again-south-east-leads-wassce-performance/5
where your Miracle Centres Education was messed up because Yoruba are taking all the laurels in Universities and Tech varsities home and abroad

Sometimes I wonder why pple sometimes become unnecessarily mischievous. I'll only reply your claim of Yorubas controlling 70% of ICT in Nigeria. The Yorubas are trying but shouldn't arrogate to themselves 70% because they are miles away from it.

Let me bust ur bubble with 2005 statistics.

Research on 2016 statistics and u will marvel. But lemme help you with SystemSpec alone.

As of 2016, SystemSpec is the best software company in Nigeria. But do you who their Lead Software Engineer is? Uchenna Okpagu, while Joshua Ochoge is their Senior Java Developer.

I just used the software industry as a case study. The fact that almost all Software companies are in Lagos doesn't mean the Yorubas owe them. Most of them are owned by the Igbos. Nigeria was systematically skewed to make the Eastern companies dependent on Lagos.

When u talk abt print media, we as well make wave. As of 2016, Igbos owe:

The Authority, Mirror founded by Obasi now acquired by Jimoh, the Telegraph (Nwuke), Sun, Daily Champion, Bussiness Hallmark, Complete Sports, The Awareness, ThisDay, Daily Times, and host of others. Of all the whole print media in the country, The Sun is the best and largest selling paper with 80% sales.

Disembark from your ignorance. Thanks

kayfra:
That's what you have with nanoflowcell

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NanoFlowcell

Am not talking about ionic liquid. Am talking abt an entirely new process.

mrvitalis:
U will split the elements of water then hydrogen to from water again??
Bro even the nuclear fusion is not just from water... No it is from a specific isotope of hydrogen that is found In sea water... Bro it is impossible to use waters as a fuel and that's a fact

Am not even talking about fusion and am not also talking abt the sea water hydrogen isotope. Am talking abt a different nuclear reaction.

Yeah, talking abt using water as a fuel. You are right. But am not talking abt that 'cause it aint combustible. But you can convert water to a combustible form. Then can generate thermal energy from there. You don't even need nuclear reaction to achieve this.

Bro you can generate thermal energy from water. It is a fact. Using either nuclear reaction or the process above.

Do you know how hydrocarbon engine works?
You put petrol into the engine. Petrol is volatile when exposed. It evaporates at any given temperature. The evaporated gas is combusted in a combustion chamber when a plug is sparked. You know when gas is combusted, it expands. So this combustion will cause the evaporated combusting gas to expand thereby causing the piston to a mechanical movement. Am aware u know all this 'cause u are a mechanical engineer. But do u know water can satisfy the same scenario pointed above?

Anything is possible bro. Don't underrate ur mind.

amzee:
I rep South West

Ok. Thought u are an Ab.oki.

mrvitalis:
When u mean run on water u mean using water as fuel?? That's impossible it can't happen... Water is a product of combustion so can't combust again
If u mean water as a means of driving the armature then that's will be very in efficient because u will have to put more energy that u get as stated in the second law of thermodynamics (that's what we do in dams and turbines since the excess energy is natural we fan afford to waste it)

It is really very possible. For the past few years, I have been part of a team researching on a hydro powered engine. We aint interested in the water, but the constituent elements of water. We are interested only in the Hydrogen and oxygen. Splitting Hydrogen can release an unimaginable quantum of energy. Harnessing the released energy requires a huge and complex infrastructure. The infrastructure might not be reducible to fit into an automobile.

To deal with this, a new approach will be adopted. Convert the water into gas and combust the gas in a combustion chamber with another inflamble gas gotten from splitting water. The problem now is, it takes time to combust the gas to the temp capable of causing the gas to expand. Its this expansion that causes the piston to a mechanical movement. Another limitation is that u need a lot of water to cause this mechanical movement.

For me, I think we should just forget abt water powered automobile engine and concentrate on the possibility of generating electricity from hydrogen. Then return to the former later.

One day, energy will definitely be gotten from water. When that happens, I just want SE to lead in that technology. My dream is a city powered by energy gotten from splitted hydrogen.

Just imagine a city powered by water, submarines and ships sailed on water. It is possible. It will happen one day. The only thing u need is the infrastructure.

Hydrogen energy is another version of nuclear energy.

Don't say it is not possible. Where two or more Igbomen gathers, anything is possible. If we can build advance land mines and anti aircraft projectile from just broken bottle and stones. Then what is in this.

GoodLuck to Emeka.

Oga restrict that ur clamp down to Turkey. 'Cause here in Nija, we aint closing down any sch, unless u Turks are willing to pay the taxes and salaries those schs inject into our already battered economy.

Anyway, I trust @MBuhari on this.

koboko69:
Stop this foolishness. Even international dailies have reported great progress on the War against BH. You can keep masturbating and celebrating over bad news. Buhari and I don't give 2 f**cks. The war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya have been won by the united states, but we sometimes hear about surprise or suicide attacks.
I hope u won't cry ethnic cleansing, when "OPERATION EX-CROCODILE SMILE" is in full force in ND. Cos you ipod yoots seems to always cry more than we from the ND, just to force an attachment. NDA is just using u guys, and u will get dumped as usual. Have u ever wondered why the scavengers are talking about having Niger Delta Republic? Biafra will be used and dumped again

And u bring Biafra into ur madness. Why not make ur point without involving Biafra.

Change ur brown roof and thank me later.

amzee:
I'm not surprised cos violence and lawlessness is in the blood our 5% neighbours sorry Jews. Is that the right way/channel to deal with the situation? Yeebos

Ur saint shouldn't have tempered with the people's choice. You don't impose mandate on candidate. The people gives mandate.

Aboki, bring ur saints to order.

Thanks Kanu. Don't ask me why?

Anyway, I can see the hating haters (Afonjas) here. Who cares.

YourNemesis:
lol.... Only one tiny local government (Ukwa West) produces oil in all of Abia? about 2 teaspoons.
I thought IPAD said all of Abia is a massive untapped oil tanker waiting to be explored...... mofos.

Change your brown roof and thank me later.

Firefire:
Wow, a decade in a hurry, just like yesterday.

I came in here exactly 2006 looking for the easiest means of escaping this coven con3, I mean looking for greener pasture someone around the globe, fine professional advises and support were offered from the good people with open arms. May God continue to bless them all, wherever they may be.

How times fly.

May God continue to bless all Nairalanders, ni 'le, lo'ko, ati lehin odi, a o ko ere Oko de'le ooooooo.


God bless Nairaland

God bless Nigeria

God bless AFRICA

Shalom!

Firefire

Congrat.

Do u know why u are so stupid? 'cos you and superstar1 dragged the Igbos again into ur madness. Can't you celebrate your decade here without being stupid and tribal. Anyway, I don't blame you, but rather the ewedu and amala u sniff into ur nose every morning.

If you like write ur ass off, we know who are the victim of hate in this country and Nairaland in particular. The height of that hate was in prelude to the 2015 election. No one dictates to us who to vote. We are too sophisticated to be ordered around by one old man, we are too sophisticated to play the politics of myopism, too be subjected under the bondage of one party, a family property. By nature we are democratic, republican and egalitarian and we aint slave to any family. SE is the only region where the four major parties hold sway. This is the true definition of sophistication. We vote based on merit, and Jonathan was the best candidate for the 2015 election. It was our resolve, yet the yorubas brought their hatred into 2015 election accusing us of being an enemy of the state just becos we refused to slave around like them, cos we refused to be part of this country's woes. The reality of that ill decision is staring them on the face.

Do I need to mention the level of hate they exhibited as a result of our collective resolve to have this country restructured? Do I need to mention how the cheer each time a pro-Biafran falls to the cruel barrel of the state in cold-blood? How the cheered each time the new govt made an appointment excluding the SE? Yet ignored in the same appointment. How they pull out statistics from their asses any time the SE recorded a milestone. Do I need to mention their hatred for innoson? Flooding the internet with pictures of Proforce becos innoson designed a brake for the airforce, that their almighty defence company can't. How they fumed with hate when Cross River State govt patronised 200 Innoson trucks, going as far as twitter calling Innoson products substandard and fake. How a yoruba journalist flooded Facebook with the picture of an Hausa murdered in the North by insurgent claiming such act happened during a peaceful protest in Aba, urging the North to a reappraisal. How their monarch threatened genocide during election. Hatred is too them what food is to us. So we aint surprised.

So firefire, get ur records straight. Like His Eminence Sanusi rightly said, the Yorubas brought tribalism into Nigeria. So concentrate on ur ewedu and stop spewing rubbish here. And don't forget to change ur brown roof. Its no longer good for health. Change ur brown roof and thank me later. It cures Afonjaism.

Once again, CONGRAT. #Viva

I love IgboLand. I luv Biafra

Thanks @MBuhari for not signing that padded budget.

@APCNigeria is an embarrassment. Can @MBuhari, the @NGRPresident go after those looters. I guess he won't, cos they are progressives, they are saints.

I blame #Change. I blame the #Afonjas

AjaanaOka:
No, that's fine. I didn't really expect more.

Thanks for understanding.

Deatheater:
Anything to protect the igbo culture is my call to duty. I was meant to protect my heritage not the other way round.

I love that. Keep it up.

AjaanaOka:
If you don't mind my asking, which community in Abia do you hail from?

Bende LGA. Abia North. This is the farthest I can state. Bear with me.

YourNemesis:
lol... what Nri empire? Nri can best be described as a Kingdom... that is if it even meets that criteria.
You and the Benin people are the ones saying Oduduwa came from Benin, not us, ok.
Btw: I was not arguing whether Nri was older was older than Oyo or not, like someone said... Oyo was late in Yoruba history. And Nri didn't see the end of that dynasty, because the lineage of the Alaafin still continues to date, just that Oyo ceased to be an empire (Something nri never was) and thus became a kingdom centred in Oyo Atiba.

There are Three distinct periods in Ife's history.
Pre classical/Pre pavement Ife: 400BC (?) to 1000s
Classical/Renaissance Ife: 1100s to 1400s
Post Classic Ife: 1400s to 1600s

Like another poster mentioned in the upper reaches of this thread the history of Nri is sparse, scanty, inconsistent and with little physical and ideological evidence. The genealogy of Eze Nris list 17 Ezes between the 10th century (948AD) and now (2016), I mean even with the totally unrealistic dates of reigns spanning over 90 years given the average lifespan in pre European presence in Africa, they were just able to get just 17 Ezes. Eri himself was said to have ruled for 93 years in 10th Century equatorial Africa filled with death traps everywhere ...lol, at what age did he become king? And he didn't die from the one million and one things that could have killed an African at that time....Okay sure. .... lol, how is that possible Mr? unless of course the dates are totally Wrong.... you are the one who should be using your grey matter here.
The unrealistic nature and dearth of substantial evidence points to a tradition of absolute mythology rather than concrete/authentic history.

Genealogy of Ife rulership list 51 Oonis between Classical Ife (late 1000s) and date. Our Benin neighbors too have seen 39 Obas rule Benin between 1180 and 2016. These are dates that Sound about reasonable to me and any other person out there with common sense.

List all the rulers of Nri and their dates of rulership here, lets scrutinize the so called Nri history.

400BC Lol. According to recorded History, Oduduwa was an exiled Bini Prince, unless u are rewriting the history urself. Ife was only settled in the 4th century BC, by people who were not originally Yorubas. Some centuries later, Oduduwa met them there and established his kingdom there. History said so.

U ended ur trash by insulting our sacred Empire, but I won't return the insult.

Do you know aside Nri, no other Igbo enclave had King, but rather a council of respected titled men presided over the affairs of the community and non of them had the power to maintain any standing army. Each of the community had autonomy, egalitarian, democratic and republican.

While each community has unlimited power in their respective internal affairs, Nri presided over external affairs, including relations and trade and doesn't interfer in the internal affairs of the constituting communities.

Ezenri influence was felt all over Igboland as the custodian and wielder of the sacred Ofor Igbo. He was a Priest-King descendant of Heaven. That is why Igbo kings are called 'Igwe' meaning 'Heaven'. Not just a priest-king, but a spirit, a living dead. In fact, when a new King was identified, his wife and family will start mourning for him. A new king isn't just installed, but must have to first manifest the signs of Heaven, as all Ezenris have the mandate of Heaven to rule. Therefore between the death of an Ezenri and the crowning of a new king, there was alwz a lag.

Ezenri was and remains a sacred King. Nri was a confederal empire preceeding the founding of Bini Empire by 232 yrs.
