TravelRe: Does An Aeroplane Use Petrol Or Kerosene? by miccoy(m): 12:54am On May 26, 2015
betacitizen:
In other words, giving your answer as aviation fuel was not correct in the first place.

When the question was asked, your specific answer was supposed to be KEROSENE. Simple!

It's like asking you what type of noun is "fleet of cars" and you said it is a NOUN. Instead of saying it is a collective noun.

Learn to answer questions based on how the question is being asked. Thanks.
It seems to me that you already have the answer to your question; and you won't take otherwise. So, I say "Kerosene"

I bet you don't even know what u're arguing.....
.
.
I've taken my time to explain and I've drafted out different meaning of innovations!.... Is comprehension an issue?
.
.
I think u're confuse.... You came up with this statement...

.
.
But yet you ascertain that INNOVATION is a process of introducing new things, ideas, etc... Hope u knw that to introduce a new idea is like to apply more ideas to something which makes it a "replicate" and I said innovation is rebranding... U said its a hitherto invented... What's your point of argument?
.
.
Again,
.

.
You noted that you read that a corper "BUILT", but later said:

.
.
These two statements defines Innovation as a rebranding of already existed ideas...
.
.
Note that, you earlier said he "built"...and later said he "assembled"... And even went ahead to distinguish between innovating and assembling.... I ask again! What's you point of argument? When you're just reiterating the same thing! Confusing yourself....
.
.
I don't think.... Ur argument's worth the stress!... I think.. You've won! I take a bow of defeat.... As you wished!
.
.
What I meant by "already existed idea" is for instance... The first welcoming idea was the invention of an helicopter.... Then somebody said...he can make this helicopter to fly 100,000ft above the cloud.... The first idea is the "already existed idea".. The second idea rebrands the first idea.....
.
.
I've taken my time to break tinz out for you...

.
.

.
.
I cherry-picked ur words and again I twisted ur words.... Lol.... You're just too funny!...
I appreciate you accepting defeat (gracefully taking a bow), I must tell, it's an honourable thing (*teasing you*)

I think your further explanations have really clarify things. Believe me, I wouldn't like to drag this issue more than necessary, but would only look forward to a more "innovative" topics.

However, going through your last response, I discovered that the bone of contention between you & I is more of "point of view" or if you like, "angle of observation" as Hilsocial rightly pointed out.

But, one last thing...., I want you to get it that right from when this argument started, my points/comments have always been on the context of what or which projects qualify to be called an "invention/innovation" and that was why I gave the example of the corper & his mystery helicopter (pls, pardon my choice of words).

My humble friend, my one question for you is that: Do you think that that corper's helicopter should be group under an invention/innovation? Despite the fact that the helicopter consumes much fuel & can't fly without being push and also, going by your "rebranding" definition of innovation.

Jesus!... You bolded "already existed"... And forgot the "rebranding" your little cousin is a genius... I beliv he's d best u guys ever have in ur fam... Again!... The introduction of new ideas into a product is otherwise known as "rebranding" for instance... The idea that coke should be produce on rubber containers was a rebranding of product as well as... Innovations!.... You will somedays (perhaps when u're a bit older as ur lil cousins) understand that... We have pathfinders and innovators...
.
.
Innovation is when you bring up or introduce new ideas to assist in the already made product... As in.. To present a product in a new way... Or its a process of translating an idea or invention into a good or services of humanity..
.
.
I don't know how to explain it any further...
.
.
Again, whether the corper assembled the parts of the Helicopter or Not!... He did a great job there... From there... He could generate ideas that will better the packaging and re-packaging of Helicopters, if employed!
.
.
I said...youwin is political... Give it a try when u've got a single idea to move the world...(In ur next life, perhaps!)
If you can't engage in a/(an) healthy debate, without name-calling, I understand; some Nigerians do that. But, I refuse to be oppress by your ignorance.

Look my friend, when you lost an argument, the honourable thing to do is to take a bow and not cherry-picking through my words.

My point is: you may not understand the word "innovation" or the phrase, "to innovate" (which is obvious). But what is so hard in cross-checking for meaning of words (in dictionary or google). Instead, you took a large part of your write up twisting my words.

PS: let us debate & not insult!

Not Believing the things I post here will only widen ur ignorance....
.
.
I earlier asked, what is the essence of all final year projects in Nigeria Universities? And it all circle down to what you insinuated.... As to inventing... But mind you.... Innovation is all about rebranding already existed idea or products to give it a Better look or name!
.
.
If at all there are companies that manufacture or design planes and helicopter in africa... That corper will be gladly employed... To contribute his ideas either to innovate or to aid in the production of more helicopters...
.
.
To clarify you... There are online project funding organisations.... All you need is to meet with their demands.... Most of them have a number of recognised universities. Where do you think most students in foreign universities get funded for their projects?
.
.
Use the google... Search for "educational funds for students projects"...
.
.
I once applied for an online degree.... I went through their FAQs and I noticed that if you don't have money for your exams you can apply for a grant and if selected...will write the exams for free! To level up how the Americans make life easy for studentd who are willing to study!....
.
.
Stop doubting me... I'll gain nothing from telling you that our education system need a new handling! A friend of mind... Who's currently in his finals in Unical studying genetics and biotech is asked to extract the testicles of a grasshopper... Just imagine this... This are what project should be all about... He's going about it very well and the only thing that is helping him is dat he's from a well to do home... And they're sponsoring him with the project... Stop doubting people! You're not Thomas!
....widen my ignorance?!? in what sense? please, educate me!

To start with...., how can you say, '' Innovation is all about rebranding already existed idea or products to give it a Better look or name!'' Haba! you can do better than this now. However, not to put you in perturbation, i asked my little cousin what the word ''innovation'' means and he empirically said, '' innovation is the act or process of introducing new things, such as ideas, methods, device, e.t.c'' *clapping for my lil cousin*

*There is a distinction between innovating & assembling. The corper only succeded in assembling different parts of a/(an) helicopter. So, he may be employed base on his assembling skills/expertise/experience*

To remind you also, we have a lot of innovation grants in Nigeria, such as GEMS, YOUWIN, EFINA, World Bank Grants, PTDF, PRESSID and so on.

I had a project.... It was all about making an iron or steel not to get rusted!... I went through a lot to ensure that I had a successful outcome... I cordially had a colleague from CRUTECH whose project was to construct a train... Now he had wanted designing a train that will be able to move under the water...
.
.
If I was funded...I'd be able to produced an iron that will not be affect by particles of oxides... I had gone very far to discovering something... Went online, found project funds and yet...I wasn't eligible! My country wasn't registered and recognised!
.
.
So after a semester...I changed to nuclear physics....I studied nuclear reactions..... On the department of physics...I was able postulate few other elements...that could be use for explosions! Just two other elements..from the standard periodic table.... Don't get me wrong.... I was out of time...I had to copy out most of the works from a friend studying outside the country!
Forgive me! I don't believe some of the things you wrote here.

Come to think of it; who will waste his/her fund on a project that is not viable? Or perhaps, that lacks originality. Mind you, most of the projects our graduates (or inventors) portray as inventions are merely a replicate of what had been hitherto invented.

For example, a while ago, I read in the paper that a corper buith an Helicopter. I mean, for crying out loud, who doesn't know that a/(an) helicopter already exist?!? And to make the matter worst, he have to push the helicopter for like a mile, if not even more, to power up the blade (hahahaha, see wahala!) And the rate of fuel consumption is what Babatawa calls " Allah yai sa"

My point is: the funds are there. And to only those projects that meet the conventional criterials of being Original and Viable.
