Sighs...we struck oil before 1960 but 2015 we still experience fuel crisis, Nigeria is like a farmer who cultivates cassava but he and his household are at the mercy of the whims of the garri sellers at the village market...........it sickening!
Kayyhe: @ Pavore9, thanks for the eye opener as regards the biogas. My question is what is the rate of consumption of a 300kg of biogas when used cooking and to power electrical gadget like 3000W output? Thanks in anticipation for a quick response
Let me go with this description.
lf you use the tarpaulin digester like the ones l have uploaded severally it digests the feedstock faster as against the underground system and generates more biogas. With what is readily available in Nigeria l will suggest you watch this short video, it will help you start out easier. l saw a Kenyan family in a rural area having 5 drums of digesters in their homestead as it is used for cooking and powering the 'l better pass my neighbour' sized generator in the evenings.
lekxyG: Nice one @ Olamimo, am also a farmer and my Farm is in Oke-Ogun area of oyo state, special in Cucumber, Tomatoes, Greet pepper, Chilin Pepper, Raddish, Marrow etc and am Also a dealer at mile 12 Lagos
What is your current production capacity of Capsicum (green pepper) and do you also cultivate the yellow variety?
LordCenturion: IGBO people Killing their brothers,, wen someone escape from other tribe, thinking that his home is safe and will protect him, still killed by his own people..
RIP to u
Please choose better tribe in ur next life,yoruba will welcome u back again and protect u
Reflect on what you just posted. Crime is not is in a particular tribe's DNA.Take Ogun state as an example, we can't say all the armed robbers operating there are all Yorubas because criminal minds attracts each other for the purpose of committing crime.
Man chooses not which tribe nor family he is to be born into but wherever he happens to find himself, let his humanity shine forth because good people make the world a better place.
onatisi: bros ,the point is the problem with the power sector goes far beyond what we think. The power problem is directly linked to fuel importation. The amount of imported fuel used to power engines and supply power to generating sets both industrial and domestic triples the amount required for transportation. So the demand for power actually does drive the demand for fuel. And we all know that the fuel importation cabal controls the govt,and they even contributed a large amount to buhari campaign. Prof sam aluko gave obj the best advice but which is very difficult and that is ban importation of fuel with all ur political will and make the refineries work . Then other sectors will improve. It is easier said than done. Now ghana for the past 2 years have also been experiencing bad power supply immediately they started oil exploration and selling. The cabals too have moved in there. What u said was what a local govt chairman said in ibadan about 8 years ago when campaigning within the party at the end of his talk ,3 state honorables told me that if the guy thinks 90% of politicians don't know what should be done then he is misinformed but who will do it is the question? Who will risk the wrath of the cabal and nigerians all in the bid of doing the right thing?
Here we are buying petrol for over N200 per litre but it is absurd to confirm to you that transport fare is cheaper here in Nairobi than in LAGOS!
beedam: Lol@ champion fighter. No matter what,the past always come knocking on the future. Is that where you still stay till date? The cassava ugu farmland then
beedam: You really know the history of this area. O. 1988? I was still a baby then. Good they turned your fighting ground to a p/station to fight the fighters
Those were the ways they entertained themselves as there was no cartoon network to go home to. One of the champion fighters we had back then is now a Reverend Father who lectures in Rome, people get history!
beedam: Na wa o. Everywhere was once a forest. Now see the whole ogudu road with no space again.
As at 1988, the Ogudu G.R.A you see today was mostly farmland where many lgbo and Calabar families who lived in Ojota were farming their cassava, yam and ugu. Palm wine tappers were a common sight back then. Where the Ogudu police station is now located is where pupils from the different public schools used to gather to fight on Fridays!
ObiOkpor: You wey read am well,didnt you see he stole N25b? Maybe na ur partner in crime.
Partner ke? Stolen money na serious curse, l thank God for the kobo kobo whey dey enter my pocket as l sleep peacefully at night as my conscience is clear before God and Man as l earn my sustainance.
ObiOkpor: Only 6 years? Someone that stole a huge amount of money when used appropriately would have given future to hundreds of youth. Kai! It is too small for him,dem for give am 50 years to serve as warning to intending and present political criminals.
Didn't you read that He was however given an option N3 million fine.
onatisi: bros, forget there can never be stable power supply in nigeria for the next 25years ,and the 25years is even achieveable if we have a good stable govt for 25 solid years. The power sector has both financial,infracstrutural and political problems holding it back.
One has every reason to be pessimistic as successive governments have not given us any reason to feel otherwise but my exposure in sustainable development makes me lean towards the thought of focusing on micro projects that generates electricity within clusters.l have been involved in projects here in Kenya where degradable wastes is being used in generating energy for cooking and basic lighning needs.
lf you are familiar with Lagos, l believe you know the Mile 12 foodstuff market. The tonnes of degradeable wastes generated there daily can power street lights within that area comfortably and with the streets lighted at night, the incidence of crime lessens. Setting up the biogas plant will not exceed N8m which is not even up to the amount a local government chairman spends on purchasing his official jeep!
[quote author=beedam post=33275437][/quote]My family happens to be one of the first set of non-yorubas to live in Ojota when it was more of a forest and people did make fun of my parents for living in a 'village' as they fetched water at a stream from the present Ogudu G.R.A!
