No, some of these so-called "curvy" people are just old fashion fat people by any other name, as far as I'm concerned.

So If I understand this correctly, rather than use the energy from the battery directly, it's used to
1. boil water
2. turn a turbine
3. finally use electromagnetism to generate electricity.

Incurring losses in each stage? Why not just use the batteries directly or even an inverter to minimize loss?

At the risk of sounding like a hater, it's a cool exercise (university experiment), but not really practical or inventive...

Correct me if I'm wrong, pls.



All but the last part is true. Heat is produced from the battery. That heat does useful work in turning the turbine, and that's it - the energy has been transferred. You need to put more heat (from the battery), to continue. The generated power can power the device for a short time, but at diminishing returns.

Think of bouncing a ball: if you smack the ball down each time it rises (supply energy with your hand), the ball will bounce back to a certain height. If you stop adding energy, the ball will bounce with smaller and smaller height until it dwindles and stops, because energy is lost in each bounce - some is lost to the ground, some is used to push the ball back, some is lost to compression of the ball when it hits the ground, some is lost in the sound that you hear. It's in the same way energy is lost in each turn of the turbine and cannot self sustain.

9jaRealist:
Akume did NOT “sell” “your” BCC to Dangote Cement - because BCC was NOT owned by the Benue government.

Rather, BCC was a federal government entity and was thus privatized under the federal government’s privatization program launched by the military government of Gen Abdusalam Abubakar under Decree No. 28 of 1999, and seen to completion under the civilian Obasanjo administration. Under the same privatization program conducted by the World Bank-supported Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Sokoto Cement Company was sold to the BUA Group, Bendel Cement Company was also sold to the BUA Group, Calabar Cement Company was sold to Holcim (partnering with Flour Mills), while Nkalagu Cement Company was sold to the Ibeto Group.

Furthermore, in stark contrast to your assertion, the Benue state government under George Akume actually obtusely and obdurately OPPOSED the sale of BCC majority shares to Dangote Cement pursuant to the latter’s winning bid under the BPE’s privatization process (which was btw supervised by the World Bank) - resorting to such primitive and primordial tribal sentiments that Dangote should have bid for CCNN (Cement Company of Northern Nigeria) instead and stating a preference for foreign (white) investors, when no sensible foreign investor was going to risk investing in such a backward climate characterized by a disdain for contracts and the rule of law.

Since the privatization, Dangote Cement has modernized the poorly-run and decaying Gboko plant, raising production from 400K/yearly at the time of privatization to the current 4 million tons/per annum - a TEN-FOLD INCREASE (creating more jobs for locals and benefiting the local economy in the process)! In addition, Dangote Cement supplies electricity power to the local community and Gboko town/environs through the cement plant’s modern captive power plant, has built and renovated schools and classrooms, as well as built and funds a community hospital. Nonetheless, pretty sure there are some Tribal Remnants still mad because Dangote is not an “indigene”. SMH

mrphysics:
No sir. I don't buy payoneer funds bro

mrphysics:
Hi Guys,

After reading this, I decided to act on it. First, I contacted payoneer customer care to reduce my withdrwal limit so I can withdraw to my bank account. In responding to my email, I was told to first add a bank account to my payoneer account, that my current account isn't linked to any bank account.

So the first task is to create a Domiciliary Account instead of using a Naira account that I will run the risk of ungodly landing exchange rate with banks. It was very easy to create a Dorm account. Just took a day. All you need is to get two reference that have a current/Dorm account which is not being used as a salary account. So if you are close to some business people, you will get this reference quick. I had more than two references. After creating the account, I funded it with $100 = 36k. I used 36k to buy $100 in the black market as $100 cash is needed.

After creating this account, I went back to Payoneer, added the account and I thought I was good to go. After the account was approved, I tried to withdraw and noticed I didn't see "Withdraw from $$$ option". I could see Euro and Pounds only. I contacted their support, via live chat, and I was told that my account is an old account and that I can't do it. So I was instructed to open a new account and it will be merged. I quickly created new payoneer account, and merging of the two accounts took two days.

The next issue to be resolved was the reduction of the withdrawal limit. I requested for a reduction of withdrawal limit and it was granted immediately and Now, I can withdraw directly to my Dorm account. I have many buyer's of my fund who I could not send fund to via payoneer. At least I can sell my funds @350-355. I have initiated a withdrawal of $436 in my payoneer and it will just take some business days to arrive. I know that being the first time, it might take maybe 2 days but subsequent withdrawals should happen in less than a day.

I was patient and I also disturbed payoneer. Though the withdrawal fee is a flat rate of $15, I think it is better than using ATM. When you check the transaction charges, you will realize that withdrawing to your local Dorm Account is easier.

I will advise sellers to do this. And you can bring your funds and I will buy @350. Only Dorm Account transfer ooo

Hope someone finds this helpful

Maybe... you're like that because you seek deep and meaningful companionship, people who get" you, sees your core self and a lot of the "friends" you have aren't like that? They don't inquire, don't have intriguing conversations, aren't interested in things you're passionate about.

That's why I shut people out sometimes and don't bother about making friends because it's always the same with everyone.

I relate with your situation, because for me too, all of those things seem shallow to me. Birthday wishes,
funeral, festivities etc... I like to do things with so much feelings, if it isn't heartfelt - it feels draining.

You're a Virgo, and they very sensitive, so I don't think anything is wrong with you at all, you probably haven't found things that make your heart go wild.

It's just your personality, and there are others like you out there. That most people are interested in such stuff (going to malls, throwing parties etc) and you aren't doesn't make you abnormal.

Finding faults in everything is the only thing I'd say you should work on.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Why am I so unemotional? I mean, nothing hardly interests my fancy. Just this morning, I've received countless 'Yuletide's' greetings from acquaintances and close friends, but I haven't even deemed it fit to return the texts nor the calls. I intentionally rejected two calls from unknown persons who I know were calling to wish me a Merry Christmas. Nothing ever interests me.

I'm not even turned on/elated of the fact that today is Christmas. Seeing people passing by and chanting at the top of their voices 'Eku Odun' or 'Merry/Happy Christmas my sister' really irks me a lot. I wonder what the whole fuss is all about!

I mean, I've just been trying to force myself to reply people who've been disturbing my ears to the ongoing celebration, and in actuality, I don't even mean it.

I remember warning someone yesterday never to wish me anything else I block him. How sad!

Now, the whole summary of my post is, I'm not fun-seeking. I'm too rigid. I'm never elated at any celebration. I don't go to see movies. I hate eateries. The mall scares me. I tell off the few friends I have, but they understand my madness and they keep returning. I hardly get moved if someone is even dying. I always find faults in everything.

Am I mentally deranged or totally normal?
Am I a sadist? Why am I so unemotional? Right now, my mind is filled with strife. I truly agree now and think that I need mental help. I think I'm a psycho.

Whobedatte:
My bro , the thing weak me oo
We always cry foul whenever we are at receiving end by foreigners whereas we caused it . Go to factories in Lagos , do a side by side comparison with Nigerian workers and foreigners with same job description and you l be amazed at the renumeration disparity .
Our own brothers here are the ones that even sell us out to these people
I remembered when there was an exodus of staff from the best printing house in Africa at ilupeju few years ago to Global plus press at oregun (pastor Chris press)
Our former HOD of engineering then at ilupeju was already there as a founding board member
He specifically told the management say make dem no pay us beta money , that the money they want to pay us is too much !!!
How much are they being paid from where they came from ? If you pay them big money , it will get into their heads and they start misbehaving . imagine !!!
Forgetting he also came from the same place we left and he was paid heavily with car and driver
So all these whites are seeing all these and they ff the trend since we don't value ourselves , why would they value us ? The foundation he set there layer backfired on him as he was later relegated for someone with lil experience from India who is now his superior and he layer regretted all his actions

Whobedatte:
Let's start here first !
Sure foreign companies must have observed how we treat ourselves and followed the trend
I've worked with top printing firms as a salary earner and I must tell you the discrimination and injustice being displayed in full glare
Two people ( machinist)would be manning a press
One works 7am -7pm
Other 7pm -7am
One is being placed on a salary on N70 k
Other is being placed on a N240 k salary , 2 bedroom flat at omole, a car and a driver + wardrobe allowance
This isn't Google but a Nigerian company owned by pastor Chris at oregun Ikeja
So before you start tackling google ,
Tackle yourselves first .
The annoying thing is that , the Nigerian guy who earns the N70 k salary trained the white guy from India.
Until we start seeing ourselves as human first , none will take us serious

uriris:
Lazy and ungrateful people everywhere. Like u people are paying for the service u r enjoying. If u don't like it, don't use it and move on to another platform. Same way some people have been crying that YouTube advert is too much.
If they don't do advert, how do u expect them to balance their running costs.
U will just come online and be shouting mining data. Which data u get wey person wan mine. Rubbish up and down.

I never rushed to watch black panther. I just waited for all the noise to calm down. And still, 6 months later, the movie wasn't fantastic AT ALL. Black men, wearing spandex and giving excuses why Africa has not been developed since all this time. Nonsense.

20 - 40k weekly is peanut!

Those thinking you are a Yahoo boy should all be ELIMINATED and their organs preserved as backup for us incase ours breaks down from excess enjoyment.

nikkypearl:
Well,from my own perspective, it could be either both or none. Intention is everything, or almost, I think.
A man who lies to his woman could either be a man who is a habitual liar, or one who wants to spare her feelings. A man who tells the truth could either be one who does so to deal her an emotional blow, or who wants to apologize for hurting her feelings.

Me, I'd rather be with the one who tells the truth. At least I'll know where I stand.

And, if you love yourself enough, you'll know whether he truly loves you — and you won't need to ask or read answers to such questions to figure it out.

Guys, over to you..

The government helped mark because they created enabling environment for tech gurus to triumph.


Don't ever quote me again since you're a slave to this old useless politicians.


BTW: the US government have been able to generate over 2.0 gigahertz of electricity, while Nigeria is struggling with just 3000 megahertz so do the maths do you know what that means to tech world?


I repeat don't ever quote me again.

CoolAmbience:
I think your point is a bit off.

From what was written here, Mark is breaching a clear agreement that they had.

For some people, it is not about amassing wealth, they want to retain the orginality of their creation.

You may not be able to understand this though.
