tru tru. but waiting on the govt is like hoping on hope. you will die with your ideas and skills. so the question you have to put to yourself is , wait on the govt or make things happen myself ? the choice is yours.

It's like u r confusing me even more, most people with science background are able to design basic household items but designing and manufacturing them on a large scale will need intervention from Investors or broad support from the Government.

Nigerian investors are simply non existent when it comes to items that they can't see their profits within a short time frame hence the reason why most people flock to buying and selling.

Over here in the UK, we have Investors on the dragons den program always ready to invest in latest technologies. They not only provide cash but also provide the much needed expertise on marketing and supply chain management . This simple program on it's own does indirectly motivate young entrepreneurs to think outside of the box cos they know they had get willing backers if the products they are producing would be fit for purpose.

Nigeria is a jungle and most success stories from the country are people either in politics or those that are friends with the government.

Making more sense now ain’t we now?
People need enabling environment to blossom. No amount of will and determination will make one succeed in Naija. One needs everything to click and without an environment that supports innovation in science and technology then people are being born to fail sort of.

What the government ought to be doing is investing in research and development departments of institutions as well as technology ministry providing grants for people with ideas that can be further developed which in turn will serve the nation in great deal.

u too like wahala  
see ur yeye mouf
how dare u rubbish a noble profession like that.

buzugee:
there is a difference ?  

Engineering technicians solve technical problems in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance by using science, engineering and mathematical principles. They often assist engineers and scientists. The work of engineering technicians is more application oriented and more limited in scope than that of engineers.

It's like u don't wanna get it.
An engineer would have designed the engine the dude in the picture is working on.
Engineers design

buzugee:
see this engineer getting grimey. in naija people will laugh at this guy for climbing poles http://www.coexasia.com/images/Engineer%20at%20work-sm.jpg

This is laughable like really, wearing an overcoat makes someone an engineer? I can bet that dude is most certainly a telecoms technician

buzugee:
not in the west it aint. engineers in the west get greasy, grimey and gutterish. and i aint no whiner neither

You know this because u r one?
Haba dis your ignorance sef don tip scale oh.

buzugee:
I see yall coming down hard on a brother. all these sensitive engineers we have on NL. now i see why nigerian engineers cant do nothing but figure out how to balance onion on top of suya. yall so sensitive hence you dont wanna get your hands dirty. you rather wear shirt and tie than sweat under a greasy machinery. bourgeois engineers. if you wanna wear shirt and tie why not go in for business administration or secretarial studies ?

Yet another misconception from NL's resident whiner.
Design/management is for engineers as maintenance is for technicians.
gerrit?

buzugee:
bros how body now ? you just go missing in action like dat sha. hope all is well. i hear ya but this obtains in all aspects of naija life. why engineers cant build inverters, gens, water generating pumps in villages, solar panels etc etc, we are endowed with the resources to make them. this is why westerners come to steal these resources. because we are not using them. the engineers are busy drinking peppersoup

Chairman debosky has already hit the nail on the head

debosky:
majority of rigs are built in specific countries in the world with the competitive advantage to do so. No point reinventing the wheel when you can get the technology off the shelf and use it in your application.

It's simply not economically viable bro. use ya brain   .
Why do you think Apple assembles their numerous products in China?

wontootree:
Thank God finally somebody raised this issue, we have a lot of certified criminal working in our MM airport in the name of immigration, doing all they can to steal from mostly first time travellers. I was a victim too. Next i will come to Nigeria i will definitely use secret cameras on my body to capture this for everybody to see  i swear,  bunch of idiots,
They don't care if u miss your freight,

Immigration not Customs.

@topic
They tried it once with me when i was coming back to the UK and i gladly told them i was prepared to leave the garri with them if they had be satisfied with that.
Why must i bribe?
Indulging them is a crime on it's own. How will Nigeria ever move forward when her citizen can't stand up to be counted.
