Brazil turned desert air into drinking water — using a passive solar-powered moisture harvester made from recycled plants

In the arid interior of Brazil, where water scarcity affects thousands, engineers at a federal agricultural research station have developed a low-cost device that pulls fresh drinking water from thin air — using only sunlight and recycled plant waste.

The device uses a biogel made from sugarcane bagasse (the fibrous leftover from sugar extraction), which has natural hydrophilic properties. The gel absorbs moisture from even dry desert air at night, and during the day, solar heat causes it to release purified water — collected into a sealed chamber via condensation channels.

What makes this system unique is its simplicity. It uses no electricity, no fans, no filters — just biomass, passive physics, and solar energy. In field trials, one square meter of the device produced up to 1.5 liters of clean water per day — enough to support a household with multiple units.

The harvested water meets WHO drinking standards and contains no plastics or toxins, as the materials are organic and biodegradable. Unlike atmospheric water generators, this tech works in low-humidity conditions, where standard tech fails.

Brazil plans to deploy it in drought-hit rural communities, and the design is open-source — so other countries in Latin America and Africa can build it using local crops like maize or agave.

It’s decentralized, renewable, and regenerates itself — a water solution designed for the people who need it most.

When it comes to education, as a firm believer in it, having ample resources to afford it, will never equate to unsustainability except in shading umbrellas of unforeseen circumstances........

AKPABIO: A SAMSON OR A DELILAH

The rising capillary action, which led to a surface tension regarding the sexual harassment allegations, is scientifically disturbing to the psyche or, as he puts it, traumatizing.
Yes, it's quite traumatizing as A Whole Senate President who was a Minister and a Governor of the largest black nation, which is much less of a majestic act and more of a maniac act for a person of such a pedigree.
Senator Natasha's petition was refuted in a very bold manner by him, which made him more of a Samson than a Delilah.

Making Robots against Acting Robot: Our Salah's Perspective

By Aliyu Idris

The Five daily prayers were ordered during the
Isra Wal Miraj ;
Ascension to the heavens:
Ain't no regular ascension like you see in sci-fi films with the use of scapeships but a spiritual one with angel Jibril (Gabriel) dubbed as Arruhul Amin in the Quran. A fundamental pillar in the life of every practicing Muslim. The concept of Salah needs to be studied and executed (like making Robots), not roleplayed like a lobotomized zombie (acting robot), as it is far from being a Michael Jackson's Thriller video. In roboticism, the concepts of mechanical engineering and AI require a level of assimilation to make a magnificent Robot, zooming that on a microscopic lens towards our Salah, it is necessary to assimilate in a manner without (not like) the use of litmus paper like in a solution at a chemical lab; but that of a passionate emotional chemical (reaction) heart to our Salah in the masajids; the concepts of Fiqhu (Jurisprudence) relating our Salah.
Dr Wami from the University of Michigan, who is the first black woman to earn a PHD in Robotics from the University, highlighted in her famous TED talk, dubbed How to Prevent the Robot Apocalypse; the dangers of robots in general. Reflecting on that, you'll come to realize that AI used in programming Robots learn from human activities. It will be undignifying to rely on them; without a scrutinized AI policy framework(s) that will give room for more successive developments in the years to come.
In light of my previous statements, I aspire to make robots instead of acting like one. Robots can only be made by assimilating the know-how and How-to against (not like) acting Robot AKA Zombie (like MJ's back dancer in the thriller video)
You can beam that ray of enlightenment pin-facing your Salah.
Every failed scientist should sit down and reflect. Maybe it's the universe's way of saying, "Hey, Dude! You overdid it with the whole science worship thing," without sugarcoating that cake of enlightenment with the Islamic creed.
In shedding more light, Al-Andalus, a Muslim land was a scientific hub before the massacre.
PS A message aspired to sync in every aspiring scientist's psyche.

The Bastard Billionaire: A Mathematician with a Braggadocio

By Aliyu Idris

Even though my pals have peeked at the pathetic path

I didn't consider it Worthy of peeping because it's not a worthwhile path to peep on

From insanely cunning Yahoo boys to unseemly 419ers, my friends chose a path I never saw in a glimpse of imagination

A path filled with spherical spikes finna pin a spherical head on a spike

Even though I was a masterplanner, a leader of the sassy squad, I resent that path with utmost resentment like a chief resenter

Had I chosen that path I would have built a castle and a castle more than the white house castle

Have a party with celebs and Celebs as much as possible

Offset that path, I have no passion for setting that path

not part of my story but another's part

My LSS homies can recall that title part

P.S. Even though I got an A in mathematics in my WAEC, I ain't no Braggadocio.

The KAD Edu-Impact Summit: Tales Of A Spectator In The Center of Learning.

By Aliyu Idris

The education in Kaduna State has in the past decades been in a state of hysteria from disruption like a Salem resident during the witch trials, due to a lack of sustainable reform.
I had an opportunity of gracing the soils of the eduImpact summit; A seeding step toward harvesting a greater fruits of achievements in the educational sector in country at large with Kaduna being the center of learning.
The summit was scheduled at a date written as 9-11 of July, which signifies the urgency of the situation; A wake-up call to curbing the educational deficiencies in the state, enriching it with nutrients and diets it needs.
One of the ideas pitched at the summit I'm down with is the Polio system adoption in the educational departments; Doing the Polio system going house to house (gida-gida) sensitizing the household-heads (Abbas) about the dangers of not educating their children and putting them out of school, and this will also help families who have marginalized the girl-child education in their psyche to unmarginalization.
Moreover, In developing a Kaduna Educational Model, adoption of the Outcome based education is crucial, a reason why we need more behaviorial psychologists in the sector to serve as strategizers; acting as a rationale gear towards realizing an optimum human resources potential.
In essence, OBE represents a shift from traditional, content-focused approaches to a more dynamic and outcome-driven model of education, one that prioritizes student success and the development of valuable, transferable skills.
In addition developing linguistical immunity against extremist-like distorted understanding in the Almajiris, by teaching them Arabic and books that will help them understand the Holy Book better against mere context.
To Shed more light, The soils of Baghdad as a Center of Learning in the Golden age of Islam, sprout rooted scholars in Islamic history. In skyrocketing the Kaduna's legacy as a Center of Learning, Such-like summits are needed to successfully strategize and Star ahead as a center of learning.

SEVEN (7) REASONS WHY SOME DEGREE HOLDERS ARE POOR

BY Malam Mamuda Kabir Dutsinma

1. THEY DON’T THINK BEYOND THEIR CERTIFICATES:

Albert Einstein said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Have you ever heard creativity term “Think outside the box”? One of the major reasons why most graduates are poor is simply because they can’t see and think beyond their certificates.

I have seen engineering students work as bankers. I have seen medical doctors with great skills in web and graphic designs. I have seen lawyers that are very dexterous with finances. The list is endless!

The basic truth of life is that the skills that are needed to be much sought after and become more successful in life are not really found within the walls of the classrooms. Your certificate is just a proof that you are teachable, it does not suggest what you are totally capable of doing. You are full of possibilities when you think beyond your degrees and certificates.

2. THEY PRIORITIZE THEIR CERTIFICATES MORE THAN THEIR GIFTS AND TALENTS:

I have often advised some of my colleagues, never to leave their gifts dormant while pursuing and hunting for jobs with their certificates. There must be a complementary balance in the pursuit of your passion and in the search for jobs.

Everybody is gifted for something, but the winning edge comes from our ability to work on our gifts and bless the world with it. The very best way to develop yourself is in the direction of your natural talents and interest. In order to live a fulfilled and impactful life, we need to work harder on our gift than our job. We need to discover our gift, develop it, and sell it. Don’t bury your TALENT with your certificates.

3. THEIR CERTIFICATES PREPARE THEM FOR A WORLD THAT NO LONGER EXIST:

It has been found that most of the skills taught in schools are becoming obsolete in the present world. The world has changed a lot, and so are people’s need! It is imperative to know that the present form of university education does not prepare students for the future.

Graduates are becoming endangered species in the face of a changing world. Our archaic methods and approaches of learning are preparing graduates for a world that no longer exist, as we are churning out degree holders every year with certificates that have face value but no intrinsic worth. Most learning institutions are filled up with lecturers and pseudo-educators with lecture notes, methods and approaches that have lost relevance in a changing world.

4. THEY KNOW LESS ABOUT THEMSELVES BUT MORE ABOUT THINGS:

Certificates and degrees don’t reveal people to themselves; they at most measure our IQ (Intelligent Quotient). I have often tell people that there is no Recovery without Discovery. A poor man is simply someone that has not discovered himself.

The more you discover yourself, the more you realize the treasures that are hidden deep within you. We carry inside ourselves latent treasures that can only be unveiled through self-discovery.

5. CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES CAN KILL INITIATIVES:

Degrees and certificates can close up your minds to ideas while initiatives open it up. If you are not careful, your degrees and certificates can close up your mind. The purpose of education is to keep your mind perpetually opened towards limitless possibilities!
Fred Smith saw an opportunity for overnight delivery of anything anywhere in the USA, and ultra- fast delivery anywhere in the world, FedEx was born. It will be interesting to know that Fred Smith got a grade “C” in a Yale economics class for an idea that the professor belittled as unworkable.

Fred Smith’s company became the first American business to make over ten billion dollars in annual profit. Beginning with just 186 packages delivered the first night, FedEx now delivers in over two hundred countries using over 6,030 aircraft, 46,000 vehicles and 141,000 employees.

6. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES POSITION YOU TO LOOK FOR JOBS AND NOT FOR OPPORTUNITIES:

Our certificates and degrees prepare graduates to look for jobs and not open our eyes to life-changing opportunities. You are not poor because you don’t have a job; you are poor because you are not seeing and seizing opportunities.

Being POOR is simply Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly! What keeps people ahead in life is not their education or degrees, it is simply the opportunity that they seized. Jobs may be scarce but not opportunities.

As long as there is a problem to be solved, there will always be opportunities. It is a waste of our education, exposure, and experiences if after we graduate from school, all we think about is searching for a job. An enlightened and educated mind should be able to see and seize opportunities.

7. CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES PREPARE PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR SECURITY AND NOT TO TAKE RISKS:

We must be willing to make mistakes and take breakthrough risks. Taking risks and learning from mistakes help us in knowing what works and what does not! When Thomas Edison was being questioned by a mischievous journalist on how he felt for having failed for 999 times before getting the idea of the light bulb, his response stunned the whole world when he confidently said, “I have not failed 999 times, I have only learned 999 ways of how not to make a light bulb”.

Many graduates and degree holders are becoming progressively poor because the skills required in the modern world to get rich are not taught in schools and institutions.

By 2025, we’ll lose over five million jobs to automation. This means that future jobs will look vastly different by the time many people graduate from the university.

Future jobs will involve KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION/CREATION and innovation, and people that are only equipped with skills found in the classroom will definitely be a misfit in an ever-changing world. Skills like critical thinking, creativity, people’s skill, STEM skills (e.g. Coding), complex problem-solving skills etc. are central to living a more comprehensive and productive life.

In conclusion, My humble and candid advice to graduates and students in institutions is to think wide, deep and outside the box. Take volunteer jobs, and don’t be afraid to navigate fields that are different from your field of learning. Your future career will require you to pull information from many different fields to come up with creative solutions to future problems.

Start by reading as much as you can about anything and everything that interests you. Once you get to college, consider double majoring or minoring in completely different fields. Trust me, it’ll pay off in the long run.

Don’t limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail; that’s a better entrepreneurship. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something political science will not teach you. Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course.

Think less of becoming an excellent student, but think more of becoming an excellent person. Don’t make the classroom your world, but make the world your classroom. Step forward and try something extra.

Invest in something you believe! Real financial security and freedom is not in your job, but in your passion, gifts, talents, and your ability to see and seize opportunities.

He is a professor of hydrogeology who has been in the university system since 1955 and he is still active at the department of geology, at Ahmadu Bello Univerisity.

The professor literally spend all His money to feed cats all around the campus, I learnt He has tons of them in His house too.

It was gathered that the legend once picked up a dying chameleon and brought it to Zoology department to complain it wasn't drinking the milk and Fish He Fed it with, apparently He wasn't aware chameleons naturally feed on insect.

We Just confirmed that the legendary Emeritus Professor Schoeneich Has finally left to his country poland.

Its indeed a sad news to the Geology student of ABU, this was followed by the outbreak of coronavirus which lead to the shutdown of schools.

We wish you well in all your future endeavors. You'll surely and certainly be missed.

may god bless you for all that you have done to us in Nigeria

Why is 9 always found in the wrong places?�‍♀️
Eg. 419, 999 ,bet9ja, F9 and Covid19

There would be many problem if the Federal Government failed to reopen all schools in Nigeria this year, the Minister if Education- Abuja has already said there is no plan on it.


The Federal Government schools has already been stopped from Writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and their resumption to schools have been suspended.

These steps from the Federal Government are slightly indicating the schools in Nigeria might not open in 2020 and all academic activities will be shifted to 2021.

If schools resumption is suspended till 2021 it means a lot of things and it carries different disadvantages.

I will be listing the Ten (10) disadvantages I've compiled for my readers, I will like you to follow me in this and give your opinion too.

1. Every Students will have your repeat their current classes in 2021!

2. WAEC might be stoped for all students in Nigeria.

3. Students might protest for stopping them from writing WAEC and will ask for refund.

4. Tertiary institutions students will protest against the Federal Government decision which can lead to riot.


5. Many students might drop out of school.

6. There would be increase in the percentage of unwanted pregnancy amidst female youths.

7. Increase in crime rate in the society.

8. Teachers, lectures might be rendered jobless.

9. Lose of interest in Education.

10. There would be difficulty in amending the schools academic activities.


These are the few things I've compiled that might happen if schools don't open this year, we hope the Federal Government will do something fast for those students to resume.

And it isn't good to stop only the Federal Government students from writing WAEC, no one should be stoped from doing so. I'm also looking forward to seeing President Muhammadu Buhari address Nigerians on this.

I know you've something to say on this don't hesitate to comment, like and share

The Kaduna State Government through its scholarship and Loan board has introduce a computer purchase loan component to its Education loan scheme, as part of the measure and protocol to adjust to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
