United Nations Atomic energy regulatory agencies should as a matter of urgency approve Nuclear Power programme for Nigeria

Hydro-Gas can't serve 200 million people adequately, we either use coal like the hypocritical west, or we get to use nuclear power plants too


.
France and other developed countries are battling with managing nuclear waste yet you said an insanely corrupt country like Nigeria should generate electricity with nuclear sources? Even if they dash us a giga watt of electrical energy, how do we distribute it?

shocked

Like what happened today, my car broke down, and I had to trek, under the catastrophic scorching sun, to God-knows-where. At a point, I asked myself, it could be that Nigeria is really the hellfire they've been telling us in the bible or next to it. Or maybe, we were once humans that sinned unto the lord and cast down here ( hellfire sic) as our own punishment.

That's because we aren't industrialized. Not being industrialized doesn't absolve us from the blame as we still consume the end product of industrialization elsewhere. No need to play the victim card here.

Our consumption per capital is still low too.

What's the big deal in managing nuclear waste

... The only fear is that the so called nuclear waste produce plutonium for atomic and nuclear bomb

Haven't we being managing radioactive materials in all University teaching hospitals accross Nigeria or who died as a result of mis management

she is an olodo by all standard. What matters is that we consume the end product. Where the bulk of industrialization takes place can be a result of nature like for burning gas in winter or industrial competitiveness like China offering cheaper product.

Do you burn charcoal to keep warm? Industrialization puts the blame on the consumers and not the producers who are only meeting demand globally.

Without electricity our economy can't compete with global standards, and without nuclear power or coal plant we can't have electricity or develop our steel industry or Ajaokuta

Amazing the continent with the least economic activity produces the lowest emissions. I wonder if there's some correlation between energy usage and economic output. Maybe there's also a correlation between the types of energy used and the types of emissions released. We'll need to conduct a 5 year 100 million dollar study to find the answer.
at least there is reduction in d emission

I don't get you. If industrialisation puts the blame on the consumer then they, being higher consumers should also be the ones to be blamed. They produce more, consume more, have a higher carbon footprint.

Consuming less is only because Africa is poor and lazy. Also good whether with little or no need for heating houses.

[I ain't Tinubu supporter , but it's just an idiomatic expression with an illustration as this: since it is difficult to find a poisoned communion as a bait to a church rat, so also is accusing Nigeria or Africa of causing climate change brouhaha, there are more substantial issues we should deal with. My thoughts though. quote author=dgr8truth post=118232078]"It is question of how do you prevent the church rat from eating poison holy communion."

I want to know what is the correlation between this statement and climate change. Is Africa the church rat? Is it not derogatory as well as insulting to call Africa church rat?

As a Tinubu Supporter, I will Educate you


Africa is regarded as a poor continent..


The Poisoned Holy Communion represents our indigenous means for Energy


The Poor villager would Cut down trees for Fire wood.
The west frowns against cutting trees not to talk of cooking with firewood.

Cutting down trees is against climate change agreements.

Using Fire wood to cook emits gases to atmosphere that deletes Ozone layer.


Now . The Poisoned Holy Communion is the fire wood.


The Church rat is the poor village woman that can't afford Gas or Kerosine or electricity to cook their meals

Now, according to the West, using Fire wood to cook is not good for climate change reasons .

.but how do u want to explain to a poor village woman that she shouldn't use fire wood even if using that firewood would lead to global warming and climate change.


How do you explain to the poor Church rat not to eat a poisoned Holy Communion even if the Poisoned Holy Communion would eventually kill the Church rat .



Church rat no eat the poisoned Holy Communion, e go die of Hunger.

Church rat eat the poisoned Holy Communion, e go die from Poison from the Poisoned Holy Communion.



Anything the poor Church rat does, e must die. Lose-lose situation for the poor Church rat .


Now the West doesn't want Africa to eat from the poisoned Holy Communion without giving us an alternative what to eat.


U chop poisoned Holy Communion, u die of poison


U no chop poisoned Holy Communion, u die of Hunger.


The West are the major emitors of Gases that depletes the ozone layer that causes global warming .


Africa has only contributed 3% if what Madam Ngozi is saying is correct....


U can't tell us to stop using our traditional source of Energy when u haven't given us alternative.


Renewable energy, Electric cars, Solar panels, wind turbines as sources of energy are still expensive and out of reach to 90% Africans.



We can not suffer for the Sins of America and China. Biggest energy spenders

If only Africa has strong leaders and leadership. We be able to tell the west to go to hell with their climate change nonsense.
For those of you that don't understand what is going on. Climate change is one of ways the west is using to make itself relevant and force countries to be energy dependent.

As it stands today, no renewable energy can power the economy of a country. Yet the west is screaming at Africa to abandon its natural resources and instead buy renewable energy from them.
1. Abandon our God given resources(coal, oil and gas etc)
2. Buy renewable energy from them(Tesla etc)
3. Renewable energy can't power economies
4. Make Africa dependent on the west for energy.

If had strong leaders we should not even be attending such events. Our strong leaders would have told the west that until africa's economy matures then we can think of switching to renewable.
But unfortunately, we don't have such leaders.
Look at South Africa that have issues with load shedding they under pressure to stop using coal, coal that is very cheap oh! Instead they should switch to renewable that can't power their economy.

Some years ago former finance minister of Nigeria she said one of the reasons why the FGN was not thinking of using coal in Enugu was because the world bank was not given loan for coal because it was a dirty fuel, something like that.

So we should abandon our natural resources which is cheaper for us and easy to get because it is on our land because the west says it is dirty fuel.

TUFIAKWA BLACK MAN!!!

Until we blacks start using our God given brain to think, WE WOULD FOREVER BE SLAVES TO THE WHITE MAN

Lol. Does that make us accountable for the global high carbon footprint? I still don't get your drift! We are lazy, poor and do not hear our homes. Our carbon footprint is extremely low, yet we will be worst hit when time comes for receiving the consequence of unsustainable living.

Ok, the church rat is an average African, everyone knows church rat are already poor from the popular adage "as poor as church rat" . The poisoned holy Communion is all those activities that causes climate change and destroy ozone layer, you know they are not good but you are forced to do them due to necessity, such as building more industries which Africa crave for, using firewood in rural areas, vehicle emissions, even the perfume you apply to your body, Africa is still hungry for industrialization and development thus it is inevitable the church rat must eat the poisoned holy Communion. Comprehendé? Takes a Sage to understand a Sage. Tinubus' genius brain is what Nigeria need now.
