EducationAkure Explosion Was From Commercial Explosives Not Bomb Explosives Or Meteors by johnlegend01(op): 7:32pm On Mar 29, 2020
This is to correct the wrong impression being created from some quarters as regards the explosion that rocked Akure less than 48hours ago.

I am a Mining Engineer by study and by profession by God's Grace.
I can categorically confirm that commercial explosives were being conveyed from an explosive company in the South west to a quarry in the South south. EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) officers of the Nigeria Police were escorting the said explosives. The explosives detonated because the truck went in flames, according to report. The one true fact is that "EXPLOSIVES IN A TRUCK DETONATED". The impact of the explosion is what you saw, while some witnessed ground vibration, air blast and noise.

Check this video below to understand the power of explosives.

In addition, some people said it was a bomb. Bomb explosives are different from commercial explosives. You would notice that there was no trace of fire or burn on and around the location.

Oga Professor, I disagree vehemently!!!

Whether that cause is true or not is another case entirely. The one true fact is that "EXPLOSIVES IN A TRUCK DETONATED". The impact of the explosion is what you saw, while some witnessed ground vibration, air blast and noise.

For those that want to believe Mr Professor, try to check online videos of blasting done in quarries to know what explosives can do to rocks.

Well, maybe I did not really follow the feud between Ganduje and Sanusi though. I still find it amazing how he is being dethroned by Ganduje. There must still be some drama left.

When the frequently friend-zoned guy grows up a little more, he will naturally learn better.
He should strive for a better life for yourself and you will be less frequently friend-zoned.

PoliticsRe: The Changes The “Not Too Young To Run” Act Will Bring To Nigerian by johnlegend01: 4:43pm On May 29, 2018
Good!

My fear however is that the old are not ready to leave. How do Youths with just a few millions in the bank contest with these greedy pot belly old men? Even fellow youths will collect money from the old men and vote for them

How many of the minimum age did we have in those positions before now? A 35year old Senator was not bad but we had old cargos throwing seats and stealing mace there.

Meanwhile, these so called Youths are even more greedy. Future leaders of this country are worse than present leaders.

God bless Nigeria!

FoodBread Preservatives And The Health Concern by johnlegend01(op): 7:07pm On Jul 16, 2017
Not so long ago, Bromate was a common presevative used for on the shelf for sales bread. It turned out Bromate is bad for human health. In recent times, bread makers boldly write on containing nylon or labels "Bromate free". This brings me to the question: what preservatives do they use now? You will agree with me that breads now last longer than they used to be some years ago.
I have tried to search for some harmful bread preservatives.

1. Calcium propionate
This is the most common preservative used in bread. Calcium Propionate occurs naturally in butter and specific types of cheese and it helps prevent mold and bacteria growth in bread. It has been known to cause side effects such as stomach ulcers, behavioral irritability in children, and headaches.

2. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
This is a lab-produced chemical that is added to bread as a preservative. It slows down the autoxidation rate of ingredients that causes deterioration in the taste or color. It is known to produce problems upon ingestion such as abdominal pain, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Its long term effects on the lungs, liver, and kidneys are overall toxic.

3. Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur Dioxide is regularly used in bread for its properties as a preservative and antioxidants. It is mixed with the flour and serves as its bleaching agent. Though it increases the shelf life, just a small serving of sulfur dioxide can be devastating to your body if you have asthma, sulfite sensitivity or sulfite allergy.

There are some natural and somewhat healthy preservatives like ascorbic acid, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, honey, and lecithin.

I urge Agencies in charge to look into industrial bread baking and ensure that these presevatives are not being used.
To the Food Scientists and Technologists here, please kindly confirm or debunk the effects of the above unsafe preservatives based on your knowledge.

BusinessRe: 20 Facts About Dangote’s Refinery And Petrochemical Plant by johnlegend01: 10:00am On Mar 17, 2017
I am impressed!

One Governor could have had this project sited in his State but out of useless but pure undiluted greed, asking to reap too much where he did not sow, he let it slip away. I imagine what development and growth this will bring to an already growing Lagos.

As much as I hate Dangote for some of his wicked underground business antics, I really appreciate the innovation of this. I have heard about what to expect from this project before now. I patiently await the commencement of operations and the seldom positive effects of Nigerians and Nigeria. Once we stop importing petroleum products, our currency will further strengthen.

A candid warning to prospecting militants.... this is not owned by Government and so should not be a target for incessant vandalization, not even once. Let us all hope for the best and when the rewards start to come, may we all be here to witness it all.

I pray for another wonderful, thoughtful, masterclass project that will equally make enormous difference in the lives of our Youths and the Nations as a whole in another region of this country. A balanced trade/economic focus in the country is not bad in any way.
