No be breaking news.

It is all about where at this point in time they believe they will gain "something" as it is not about ideologies because APC and PDP are the two sides of the same coin!

psucc:
And tell me how those boys will not grow to become enemies of the State?

The future is still bleak.

You captured my thought!

GEJ tried but this present government has not encouraged it. One man is using it here to pull crowd.

There was no real continuity because some vested interests were making fortunes from the importation of wheat! Many farmers who went into cassava farming hoping there will be huge uptake suffered glut. Out of the thousands of bakeries in Nigeria how many percent are into cassava bread production?

Kenya produces and exports wheat and milk thus the cheapness of bread and milk in Kenya. I bought a 600gms of bread for 70 Kenyan shillings in 2013 as at yesterday l still bought at 70 Kenyan shillings.

dunkem21:
You never hear of Cassava bread?

Obasanjo tried promoting it but was there continuity?

dunkem21:
Do we produce or import bread?

We locally produce bread with mostly imported ingredients.

dunkem21:
Anybody that gives you bread these days is a hero

I hope we won't queue for milk ..

God heal Nigeria, pls.

The milk we produce or import?

I know say my Governor no well but his "madness" will not descend to the level of turning my State to an IDP camp!

llaykorn:
Yes, it's a very big deal. A friend who went out in camouflage pants the other day came back home with only his underpants, which he claimed were given to him by a humanitarian whom another man's naked sight disturbed or disgusted. You know, he only met some soldiers on the way out. Back home, big men wear them.

As a "bloody civilian" in Nigeria, one is safer keeping off camouflage or else...........

Disheartening.

He should empower them with post-harvest preservation techniques.

These people cn endure smello no be small

An idea of the quality of minds on this forum.

When one is a positive impact.

steppin:
Some people ain't happy with the digital migration. They will do anything to push it further away from the deadline...DSTV comes to mind.

True. Kenya switched off its analogue transmission on February 14, 2015 despite vested interests. People were forced to get a digital TV or a set box (subscription based or Free to Air), it is now a richer viewing experience.

Hybrid01:
i understand on that ethanol issue. can you teach me how to make that digester sir?

Am not the one deploying the technology, get in touch with the company (Flexi biogas).

I doubt the digital migration deadline of June 2017, they will still push it forward.

baba11:
Castor plants!?

I don't think i have ever heard of that.

I meant castor oil plant.

Hybrid01:
I have always known Kenyans are so advanced in Biogas production. Did you say 2 hours? Oh my God. oh my country. What do you think of Ethanol production from maize algae tree shreds etc. That is also a good source of energy

What the guy is carrying on his head are the biogas kits needed to install a unit. They have shipped it to many countries. I have issues with Ethanol production from maize because it competes with food consumption.....maize as food is already expensive for human consumption.

Hybrid01:
Yes. You've been there before? There is one also at IITA headquarters at Ibadan

The last time I visited YABATECH was so many years ago!

The dome system is not as effective as the Flexi biogas system being deployed by a Kenyan firm, Visit their Facebook page: https://web.facebook.com/flexi.biogas

You will realize the dome system is expensive and ancient! The domestic flexi biogas system can be installed within 2 hours and by the 6th/7th day one can start cooking with the gas generated.

Hybrid01:
you are good sir! I wonder why this energy is not been used so much in Nigeria. I know there is a digester in Yabatech. I read about it in am environmental management textbook. I just wish we reduce our dependence on hydro power. Another source is hybridized energy. I mean combination of solar and wind.

Is the digester at Yabatech, the dome type?

baba11:
If casava peels is used. I don't think the rate of decay will be higher.May be if it is ground or 'enzyme' is added to it!

It needs to be ground and added water to make it pulpy. The higher the calorific value of the feed fed into the digester, the higher the gas production. Castor plants are very high in oil and generates 50 times more gas that cow dung and when ground with food wastes and fed into the system, the gas production rockets.

I hope those sadists will not regard her involvement in the production as haram!

Mo' Abudu looking so "Northern"!

Recollecting the rabbit sausage l ate recently!

Hybrid01:
I tell you sir. I make research on this type of energy and i must say i have learnt a lot. it further reduces pollution as some of these 'wastes' can be reused into meaningful things. cow dungs and poultry wastes that people throw away are good sources also. If only they can know that. These are also avenues to make cool cash and other countries like America, China and other Asian countries are already tapping into it.

Actually while you generate gas, you also generate bio-slurry which is a potent organic fertilizer.

Abbeyme:
Thanks bro for the learning.

At least it works for small to medium projects.

One day, it could be stepped-up to power up a local village or a small neighborhood.

It is because we have focused on mega projects thus our energy crisis all these years. We have streams that wound its way down the slope of many rural communities that can provide electricity to the communities not having to wait for the National grid

Hybrid01:
Exactly sir. You are very correct. The only renewable energy Nigerians know is solar

We need to expand our minds. Biogas digesters needs to be set up around garri producing communities, to provide heat for frying garri and reduce the dependence on firewood. The women frying the garri will be happy of no longer having to deal with the smoke from the firewood. The digesters are fed with the cassava peels generated during peeling likewise other farm wastes. "i better pass my neighbour" sized generator that runs on biogas can charge the phones of these women while they work!.....We need to expand our minds!

Abbeyme:
Oh, ok.

I get your point now.

I previously thought u meant the sewage is to generate electricity ni!

It can generate electricity by powering a generator that is 80% biogas and 20% diesel. I have seen it being used in a welding project in an energy centre in Nairobi.

Abbeyme:
Bros, you bad gan an o

Sewage bawo??

When power finally improves, and the students and staffs upgrade from eating beans, they won't poo often na. Then this your option wont sustain itself. Well, I don't really know if this method id used in developed countries of this world or its just an African experiemnt..

Think about that too.

It will serve as cooking gas, l have seen where it is operated. It can provide gas for the University's bakery if it has one.

Munzy14:
wow that will be wonderful. i got few seeds and broadcasted.just four came up.and they are trying now just few weeks old.Though struggling,not even up to an inch in height.

You ought to have prepared a nursery for them and transplanted after some weeks!

Setting up a seedling centre somewhere in Enugu/Imo is something am looking at. So anyone can come pick up seedlings of their choice from cabbages to strawberries.

TheFreeOne:
It's only the Christian community / leaders that can help put a stop to these nonsense but as long as there's no common front to achieve that then the trend will continue.

But sadly influential Christians always turn blind eyes to such kidnappings, forceful conversions and marriages.

You are right, the silence of influential Christians emboldens these paedophiles hiding under religion! Am not sure if he National body of CAN has released a statement stating their position and demand for the return of the girl or else the Emirate will be sued for abduction, forceful conversion to islam and marriage to a minor without the consent of her parents.
