Politics / Re: Baba Suwe Excretes Second Time, No Drug by paragonpro: 11:02am On Oct 16, 2011 |
If at the end of the day no drug was found in Baba Suwe's excretion, then the blame should go to Baba Suwe's wife. She must have served him rock solid fufu before he left for the airport, that confused the scanners. Lesson: avoid fufu or akpu before traveling. |

@ X-Factora If he leaves a huge debt but was able to increa se the literacy level of imo, then in there is assurance that the debt would be paid by in increasing the productive base of the people. But what about all those governors who leave huge debt on account of buying personal estates all around the world. |
Politics / Re: What Is Reuben Abati's Offence Or Wrong Doing? by paragonpro: 5:59am On Sep 27, 2011 |
The OP is not interested in other people opinions on the issue, he just wants to launder Abati's image and by extension GEJ's image. That is why after all have said, he will still respond with cynically “no body has said anything yet”. I had been a fan of Ruben Abati since the early 90's while at the university. Then he stood for justice and truth, and ideas of what an ideal society should look like. That was what made him popular and gave him the fan base he had. But where is he today? Does he still stand for those principles? Someone here talks about serving of father land. Must one be in government to serve fatherland? Nigeria needs men of ideas and principles, which is becoming an extinct specie in the nigerian landscape. Ruben Abati posed as a man of ideas and principles only to reveal he is a man of money, power and lies. We may never have a Gani again (gani was offered the post of AG, to serve his fatherland) and he refused because the position ran counter to what he is known to stand for - defend the defenseless. |

Na wa o! I wonder what has gotten you so worked up. I never yapped you or your children, please read my post again. I was not even making particular reference to your children, I meant children generally do not change bulbs. It seems you have an emotional or financial attachment to incandescent bulbs as you see insults where there are none. I am not really a great fan of CFL (not because of any health concerns), but because I prefer LED lights. LED lights are far more efficient than CFL, they are more versatile and can produce light in full spectrum range. it does not flicker like CFL. I have been researching lighting systems for a long time, so I know what I am talking about when I say the dangers of CFLs are grossly exaggerated. I even design and make my own LED lighting system for home use, which I will post the details later. You did not even attempt to answer any of the questions I posed. Here they are again; Which contains more mercury, CFL or 40ft fluorescent bulbs? Why had there not been campaign against fluorescent bulbs which had been in use for decades? Why is there no campaign against the use of batteries in cars, mobile phones, and personal electronics generally because they contain huge quantities of heavy metals like lead, nickel, cadium, etc. I admit that disposal is a problem but so also are electronic components and numerous other products. Here is a quote from http://www.cflfacts.com/ about popular myths concerning cfl.

Business / Re: South West And North Central States Picked For Nuclear Power Stations by paragonpro: 3:47am On Sep 21, 2011 |
@Mammy4life you are falling for marketing gimmicks of the nuclear plant producers. It is a fallacy of the highest order to say nuclear power is the safest or greenest power. Even if we forget the possibility of a disaster (due to negligence, mismanagements, natural disaster or even unpredictable reasons), what about nuclear wastes. Have you ever thought what happens to all the nuclear wastes and spent fuels of all the nuclear plants in the world. Probably buried underground in a secret place waiting for a generation 5,000 years in the future. Because some nuclear materials can remain harmful for more than 10,000 years. Where is Nigeria going to store its nuclear wastes? How can you compare nuclear pollution with pollution from burning oil or gas which the planet can deal with in a matter of decades, or even Solar or wind powe which produces no pollution whatsoever. |
Properties / Re: Architecture, Energy Conservation And Alternative Energy. by paragonpro: 10:35pm On Sep 20, 2011 |
I have read tons of material condemning CFL, but I think is all alarmist. most likely multinational energy corporations and incandescent bulb maunufacturers are conspiring to discourage the use of CFL. Please tell me how can. Cfl cause cancer? Are you going to break the tubes to inhale the Mercury vapour? Or is it your children that changes your light bulds? Which contains more mercury the new compact fluorescent lights or the big old 4 feet fluorescent tubes? Why did they not make noise about the 4 feet bulbs and they are screaming a about the tiny cfl. The problem with fluorescent tubes in general is their disposal. It should be disposed properly to avoid contaminating water or food for human and a animal consumption. |
Properties / Re: Architecture, Energy Conservation And Alternative Energy. by paragonpro: 5:57pm On Sep 20, 2011 |
@Blank, Your fear of CFL tubes is unjustified. People (and I am sure that includes you) have been using normal fluorescent tubes for decades and there had not been health concerns. Its is like saying you will not use batteries because it contains lead. |
Properties / Re: Architecture, Energy Conservation And Alternative Energy. by paragonpro: 6:14pm On Sep 19, 2011 |
@Mk Yusuf, I agree with you on the need for stakeholders to come together to push the alternative energy agenda, it must start from us. We must form ourselves into a pressure group to prod the government and lawmakers into taking action. We need policies that would promote the use of alternative energy sources and conservation and help relieve a bit of pressure from PHCN. For example; Government should reduce or even eliminate tariff on alternative energy devices like solar panels, inverters, wind turbines, deep cycle batteries, etc. they should also reduce tariff on CFL and LED lights. Government can also initiate policy that allows for seamless integration between power generated from consumers( from alternative sources or generators) and power consumed from PHCN. This can be done with a two way meter. If you produce more power than you need the excess is sold to PHCN. THis policy alone can add over 10,000mw to the national grid over night as most people and companies do not use up to 50% of their generator capacity. This policy is practiced in germany. I also agree with you 100% on the need to go back and study our indigenous architecture, and incorporate the functional elements with modern designs. Elements like the high pitched roof which prevented heat in the afternoon, long roof overhangs that provided shades, use of clay (even mixed with cement) for its thermal properties, even the court yard design that allows for good ventilation, and many more. It is a pity we are trying to build a “concrete jungle". |
Properties / Architecture, Energy Conservation And Alternative Energy. by paragonpro: 3:51pm On Sep 16, 2011 |
I am starting this thread as a stimulus to architects especially and Nigerians in general, to take issues concerning the issue of Energy conservation and alternative sources of energy more seriously in the conception, design and use of residential, commercial and even industrial projects. The level of awareness of the need for energy conservation is abysmally low among Nigerian architects, so the need to incorporate energy conservation and offer alternative solution from the conception and design phase is practically non-existent. I have been an advocate of this for the past 6 years and have met very limited interest from clients. I do not blame them; the cost of energy used to be very low and at the same time the cost of installing alternative energy solutions was very high. But now the situation is reversing, the cost of electricity is sky rocketing while the cost of fossil fuels to run our generators is space rocketing, at the same time the cost of alternative energy components like Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, Inverters, even deep cycle batteries are crash landing. So it makes more sense today to go for alternative energy solutions for some or even all of our energy needs than it did 10 years ago. I am an architect with a strong passion for alternative energy and energy conservation in general. I believe Nigerians are far too wasteful in their use of energy and is costing individuals, corporate bodies and governments billions of unnecessary dollars just to run our appliances and machines. Even in Europe where the per capital income is far higher than us, they take energy conservation very seriously in their building designs, they employ double glazing of their windows, bricks walls (sometimes double layers of walls), good insulation on doors, ceilings and other openings, etc in order to keep in the heat and keep out the cold, thereby reducing the over all heating cost. Contrast that to what is obtained here; windows are usually shabbily installed with gaps, gaping gaps under and by the sides of doors, very low pitched roof of aluminum roofing sheet or zinc sheets where temperature inside the roof can reach 60 degrees centigrade in the afternoon. After all these powerful air-conditioners are then installed to cool these spaces. A lot of energy would first be wasted to counter the effects of these factors, before energy needed to cool the spaces to ambient temperature is expended. Furthermore most of the cold escapes through the gaps and poor installations, and that is main reason our air-conditioners do not last, because the compressors work harder than it is designed for. Compressors are meant to work at most half the time, but due to poor installation, poor design, etc, the compressors work most of the time. Another evidence of our wasteful nature is in our choice of lighting appliances and fittings; the cost of lighting is very significant in the overall energy bill. This can be reduced by the use of Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) instead of incandescent bulbs which is a heater on its own. Furthermore LED bulbs are even more energy efficient than CFL. A lot of western nations are discouraging the use of incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs while promoting the use of Compact Fluorescent Lights. I hope to use this thread to rob mind with like minded people, Architects, other professionals and other interested people on how to promote and incorporate the use of alternative energy sources in our homes and offices, especially from the design phase. The alternative energy area of interest includes Solar Energy systems, Wind energy systems, Inverter systems, energy saving appliances, solar lighting and water systems, and any other system relevant to energy conservation and alternative energy. I also intend this thread to be educational. I implore people to share their knowledge and experience concerning the subject, so we can all learn from each other and keep abreast with new innovations. 1 Like |

Business / Re: Should Pure Water Be Banned? by paragonpro: 2:22pm On Jul 20, 2011 |
Banning pure water is a very stupid idea. What do you expect people to drink, when in the 21st century the government is incapable of supplying clean pipe water. Something most serious countries take for granted. Banning pure water would result in serious health calamity as people would have to find drinkable water from unpalatable sources, especially in the North where cholera is already taking a toll. As my people say, "it is condition that makes crayfish bend", so pure water would be naturally banned once there is an alternative. |
