Urban waste is a big problem that we all need to address urgently. Major cities are struggling to find better ways of dealing with it.

It can be found littering the sidewalks, on building rooftops, and spilling out of garbage bins. Fortunately, urban waste has more than just an aesthetic effect. It can also provide a source of renewable energy that is both sustainable and reliable. By recycling urban waste through incineration, this process provides a clean and safe alternative to coal-fired power plants.

So how does it work? You’ll need to understand the process behind it before you can make the right choices for your city, home, or business.

What is urban waste?
The most common types of urban waste are metal, wood, paper, and plastic. It’s anything that is left behind in the city, like old appliances or building materials.

Urban waste is also called “urban solid waste.” You can find it anywhere in the city; it doesn’t just materialize out of nowhere. As people go about their daily routines, they deposit this type of trash on sidewalks and buildings, sometimes with an added layer of litter like cigarette butts or fast food wrappers.

As you can see, there are many potential sources for this type of trash in cities. There are also many organizations that collect these materials to help keep them out of landfills; and one of them is PowerDot UK. But all the same, urban waste continues to be an issue in major metropolitan areas across the nation and beyond.

Why recycle urban waste?
Recycling urban waste provides a number of benefits. First and foremost, it reduces the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of and prevents the need for new landfills. This is especially important in densely populated areas where space is at a premium.

Second, incineration of urban waste reduces the level of contaminants such as heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the atmosphere by up to 80%. Plus, an incinerator will produce less carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide than burning coal, which makes it a sustainable and reliable source of energy.

Finally, an incinerator has a lower water consumption rate than traditional power plants, which means it can reduce your overall water usage.

How does incineration work?
When a substance is heated to a high temperature, it gives off a gas. In the case of an incinerator, this process happens when combustible substances are burned at a high temperature in an oxygen-starved environment. If you think about it, that’s how fireworks work too! When you burn something, whether it’s wood or garbage, it releases heat and light energy.

The gases released from an incinerator can be used for many different purposes. For instance, they can be used to heat water in urban heating systems or generate electricity. If you want to use natural gas for electricity generation, there are a few options available.

One option is to combine the gas with water vapor to create steam, which can then turn a turbine and produce continuous power. Another way to do this is by combining the gas with air and then burning it in a combustion engine, which will also produce power.

Whatever your goals are for your home or business, there’s likely an incineration option available that will provide renewable energy while preventing waste from impacting our environment.

Is it more sustainable than burning coal?
The answer to this question is more complicated than it may seem. When coal is burned, the process releases harmful toxins into the air. Burning coal also causes climate change, which has a significant effect on our planet’s health. Urban waste from recycling, however, contains no toxins and doesn’t add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

In some cases, burning urban waste is actually more sustainable than burning fossil fuels like coal. According to one study by the British government, “the emissions from an incinerator producing only electrical energy would be approximately equal to those of a natural gas-fired power station.”

But what about when we generate heat and electricity? In that case, burning urban waste is not as environmentally friendly because it still emits pollutants like nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide at higher levels than coal plants do.

So does that mean we should stop burning urban waste? Not necessarily! Recycling through incineration is still a better choice for our planet than using coal-fired power plants.

Conclusion
The process of burning waste to create energy—called incineration—is one of the many ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. It’s also an efficient way for businesses to produce power without relying on fossil fuels, which will help save money in the long run.

If you live or work in an urban area, it’s important that you understand how this process works before you decide to use it as a source of energy.

They should deploy it as fast as possible. Those who don’t want it should relocate to Congo. Simple!

Great news but how much is dollar now?

Andriy Shevchenko, deserves our congratulations.

She has done well

Self- medication is bad. I read from your write-up that you took banana while you were treating malaria. I will love to advice you that next time do not take any fruits while you are treating malaria and also after treatment of malaria do take multivitamin.

Thank you sir. Will you be kind enough to shed more light on why we shouldn’t eat fruits while treating malaria? 

We learn everyday!

“I WAS 99.9% DEAD, BUT GOD GAVE ME A NEW CHANCE, FOR WHICH I AM THANKFUL!!!

My Ordeal with Malaria, Typhoid, and Fake Drugs

When I discovered that my Facebook friend Stella Jam had died of malaria, I was like, what the Bleep? Is malaria still a killer in the twenty-first century? Now I have the answers!

I traveled to Makurdi recently with my brother Joe Zex and #Kumashe (our soon-to-be bride). The journey was fun as we stopped from time to time to catch cruise on the way.

We arrived in Makurdi that evening, rested, and then resumed our journey to Gboko the next day, going from Gboko to Vandeikya, Vandeikya to Adikpo, Ushongo, and back to Makurdi.

The next day, I woke up with feverish sensations throughout my body. I proceeded to a nearby pharmacy, and was given malaria medicines by the pharmacist.

After a few days in Makurdi, Zex and I were meant to return to Abuja, but I didn't since I needed to take care of my health issue first. After three days on the medications, I was fine and ready to travel back to Abuja.

The symptoms reappeared as soon as I returned to Abuja that faithful evening. I quickly sent someone to a friend who operates a drugstore down the road to fetch typhoid medications, as I do each time I treat malaria. I'm not sure why, but I've been doing it for quite some time.

My friend phoned me and demanded that I treat malaria as well as typhoid. I told him that I had already treated Malaria with Amatem (Forte) Softgel in Makurdi. He stated it was a really nice medicine and inquired as to how I used it. I informed him that I took it that evening and continued the next morning. He claimed I took it wrongly, that I should have taken one that evening, then one the next day after 8 hours, and the others after 12 hours each. A claim that I later discovered to be correct.

I had to restart my treatment with medications supplied to me by my friend because the pharmacy in Makurdi failed to inform me of the timing.

My condition worsened after a few days of taking the meds, as I equally lost my appetite and became quite weak, with headaches and pains all over my body, particularly around my waist. Bananas became the only food I had an appetite for.

On Tuesday the following week, I went to the University of Abuja Specialist Hospital for a comprehensive medical checkup with the medications I was taking without results.

The medical office staff informed me that I would not be able to see a doctor that same day since there won't be any opening until Thursday. They collected my hospital card and scheduled my appointment for Thursday.

I reminded myself that I needed to see a doctor by any means necessary. I was going to knock on one of the consulting rooms' doors, when I noticed one doctor having a conversation with someone outside. I went straight to him and told him that if I don't see a doctor today, I had a feeling I might sleep and not wake up the next day. God forbid, he said.

The doctor took my card to the record office and asked them to book me immediately because he was ready to see me. He similarly told the nurses on duty to get me ready right away. God, please continue to bless this doctor for me. Amen.

Long story short, they performed RDTs and detected malaria parasites. I handed over the drugs I bought from my friend and was taking to the doctor. He locked eyes with me in a scary manner and invited another doctor from the next door to come in.

Lo and behold. They said those drugs were all fake, including the Panadol. I almost fainted. The doctors said that’s the major problem they’re experiencing at the hospital, sadly.

The doctors told me that most of the malaria and typhoid drugs out there are either fake or do not have the capacity to heal.

They issued me a fresh prescription and recommended I purchase the first item on the list from the hospital pharmacy and the other items from designated pharmacies outside the hospital.

The doctors both insisted that I shouldn’t buy alternative drugs but I should demand for the exact drugs written on the prescription list.

I quickly did research on the effects of fake and substandard drugs and discovered that the fallout of fake and substandard drugs includes poisoning, untreated disease, instant or early death, and treatment failure.

By the time I came out of this mess after more than three weeks, you wouldn't like to see me. I became extremely thin and unattractive. In fact, the weight I had been working so hard to shed at the gym came in through the back door.

If not by the grace of God, by this time people would have been circulating my obituary pictures all over the internet, even the ones who don’t even talk to me now

I've decided to share my experience so that you, your family, and friends may learn from it and be more cautious about purchasing medications from untrustworthy sources and refraining from self-medicating.”

Gbaja asks security agencies to find missing Vanguard reporter

Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives, has asked security agencies to ensure the safe return of Tordue Salem, a reporter with Vanguard newspaper.

Salem, a house of representatives correspondent, was declared missing after he was last seen on October 13.

Last week, members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) took to the streets in Abuja to call on the authorities to ensure his safe return.

Speaking on Monday, Gbajabiamila asked security operatives to intensify efforts in locating the missing journalist.

“I do know that the Vanguard correspondent in the house of representatives, Tordue Salem, who has been missing for some weeks now is still yet to be found,” he said.

“I have been in contact with that leadership of the press corps and the authority that is doing this investigation since this matter came to light.

“I want to encourage security agencies not to relent in their effort to locate Tordue and bring him back to the house. I see the press corps as part of the institution and anything that torches one, torches the rest of us.”

Gbajabiamila said the work of journalists goes a long way to “shape the perception of the house of representatives and correct any misconception in the public sphere”.

“You have a critical role in rephrasing the narrative of the public about the house of representatives and in giving direction to the legislature and in propelling policies of the government. That is why those of you who practice in the institution is referred to as the fourth estate of the realm,” he said.

“The house of representatives and indeed the national assembly, like every legislature in the world is perhaps the most misunderstood institution. Some of the misunderstandings are unintentional.

“Some of the misunderstandings is sometimes political. Unfortunately, some of the misunderstanding

“It falls therefore on members of this committee to begin to educate the public to change the narrative because sometimes, we are not aware or are ignorant of unforeseen consequences of what will happen when a small committee or an institution like the national assembly is understood or misjudged.

“It has the potential of snowballing or having a larger and more dangerous effect on our democracy. That is why we look at the committee from the prism of your work which is strategic to the survival of democracy.”

Soludo has not started campaigning for himself yet. All he is doing at the moment is attacking his political opponents without making any promise to the good people of Anambra. 

I used to like him, but I hate his style of politics.

How To Make The E-Naira Very Strong & Effective

By Angula Bishop Reuben

It's finally up and running! President Muhammadu Buhari formally
unveiled the long-awaited and much-anticipated e-Naira on October 25,
2021, to be precise.

I admire and support the Central Bank of Nigeria's initiative to
create a digital currency, but how can the government strengthen it
and make it stronger?

The only solution, in my opinion, is to lift the restriction on
cryptocurrency and make the E-Naira the only currency required to
purchase cryptocurrencies in Nigeria at your own risk.

Do this and watch the E-Naira soar higher, effectively boosting the economy.
