temi4fash:She can't stay there.... Besides how do I send a pm to you please |
temi4fash:Yeah but she will be in the country tomorrow.... She has to deploy or she leave the service... But she has every document she might need .... Thanks |
auskenfine:Yes bro that's my message ... Lets pretend we love each other because if war ever come up again ... We will realize the mistake we have done ..... The north will lose more now ... Not even the west |
Rotimi47:Friend Ojukwu did not declare the war... Biafra was on defensive ... Nigeria was on offensive ... So tell me who declared the war now? Awolowo was afraid that the west may not survive on their own ... Which was so wrong....... People says ojukwu starves his people to death ... It was a lie ... This same Awolowo met with Gowon to tell him to close the boarders of Cameron to stop the flow of supply which led to Nigeria losing peninsula of Bakasi.....as of then the red cross supply comes through there .... Now they want the food and other relief supplies to stop at Lagos before going down east... The first came in with poisoned salt to the east.... Ojukwu stopped the supply .... Please try to know more about the war than to talk what you do not know..... If the south south region did not freek out on time the war could have went on the the wire but thank God today ...they have realized the mistake they made .... Invading Lagos was not to destroy the city but then it was the capital of Nigeria and it is called counter offensive attack ... It could have reduce the attention on the east and most soldiers will be withdrawn from the front in the east..... If not for the airstrikes from the western world that supported Nigerian ground operation ... They would have Lost..... Lets respect one another here ... It's not fair to remind the past for some who went through pain .... Igbos are humans ... They showed the quality in them that after taking 3years away from them ... They came up strong and developed their region far ahead of the north and some of the west .... I rest my case |
Jokay07:Hahhhahahahaha.... Why I love this Nairaland is that, it's a place kids who refuse to know the truth form their elders (fathers) show case there talent... While I was working with Israeli energy company, on a joint project with IDF, I came across an 81 years old war lord who lectures with the IDF, when he asked me about my country as a black man... I said Nigeria... He invited me to his house and he gave me a video he made during the war ... As worked in Biafra Region .... After seeing the video and after listening to his story, he told me that the biggest mistake African nations did was not supporting the Biafra nation.... He said that if Biafra had gotten 1/10 of whatever kind of ammunition the Nigeria soldiers had, that Nigeria could have been a forgotten state .... Not just the weapon, the boarders where closed which led to Nigeria loss of Bakasi peninsula.... With no weapons or real international help, the Biafra nation stood the war for almost 3years....in this three years they produced am armored tank, they produced a bomb ( ogbunijwe ), they produced an electronic receivers, the produced guns and host of other things ( with no international aid ) Some people here thinks the easterners just seceded because they want to.... No... Ojukwu saw his brothers mascaraed in the north a year leading to the war... Over 3000 Igbos died in that riot .... He took the government for an agreement talk in aburi... They reached an agreement and signed .... Same yorubas caused the war to say because it was Awolowo who faulted the peaceful agreement upon their return..... If UK had find oil in their country like they just did now .... They would have honored the Aburi agreement , their fear was not been sure of controlling the eastern region with Ojukwu at the helm of affair...... Ojukwu died... The world stood still... His burial was the highest state burial we have ever seen in our country. Lets learn how to live with each other without reminding one person the pain they passed through.... Nigeria as a country ... Igbos have lost lives in the hands of the north... It's all about killing of an igbo whenever the north want to riot or do Thier normal Islamic extremism .... Lets understand Igbos are humans too and loss of her son in Nigeria is becoming normal thing .... Lets learn to live with each other to avoid another war because this time around things may get more Gasty as all sides are now educated as it will not be an internet war... It will be a real thing where technology will play a big role ...... |
Iamoilprince:Sit back relax and watch Mmm. Soon you shall see the end game... In a year time you will understand the different between learned fellow and one who claims to have integrity.... Some war are better served cold ... And the person involved will be the first to pay condolence respect... GEJ maybe regarded as fool/clueless but I met you clueless men pull the craziest stun when they want to go Awol |
temi4fash:Funny enough... After writing here ... My wife just checked her posting only to know that she will be serving in the same camp the hubby served .... Are you serving in kwara ... I need who will guide her through |
temi4fash:I will not forget that camp... Coming back to Africa and I was sent to iykpata ... It was so fun and crazy... O was posted to chicanda baruteen close to the boarder...it was 7hours to Ilorin.... Ekomoc hostel... I miss those days |
olatunji21:Blinded local like you that put sentiment ahead of reality... If GEJ had react to the abuse he received from the hands of media houses ... Non we be working in the country by now... If fox station call Michelle Obama " Obama baby mama" did Obama sue them talk of ban?.... You came here to make noise .... Do you know what freedom of press mean? When I ask you... Your response will be u have a BSc ... When Nigeria will realize what we have gotten ourselves into, it will be too late by then .... O keep ask questions like... Assuming that buhari was the one who lost the election... Could he have accepted the GEJ did, just like a gentle man.... The answer is good as mine... #youcannotgivewhatyoudonthave# |
raumdeuter:Crazy fool |
xdos:I said so because of technical part of the construction of the facilities... The arrangement of the centrifuge and seriousness of the company handling the installation... Anything Russia is totally crazy... Japan can do wonderful installation too |
Feraz:I said so because of technical part of the construction of the facilities... The arrangement of the centrifuge and seriousness of the company handling the installation... Anything Russia is totally crazy... Japan can do wonderful installation too |
Power is measured in watts or kilowatts (1,000 watts) or megawatts (one million watts. An electric generator is rated in watts. A large nuclear power plant has a power of 1,000 megawatts (or one gigawatt). If a one kilowatt generator runs for an hour, it produces a kilowatt-hour of electric energy. The amount of energy handled by humanity is still small compared to the amount of energy in the sunlight that strikes the earth. It's about one part in 50,000. Energy is conserved. It can be transformed among various forms, (e.g. mechanical, electrical, chemical, heat) but the total remains the same. In each transformation, some of the energy becomes unusable, usually in the form of heat. All matter is composed of elements. The important elements for our discussion of nuclear energy are uranium, plutonium, carbon and hydrogen. Uranium and plutonium are involved in nuclear energy production, and carbon and hydrogen are the main elements in conventional fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. An atom of an element consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. What element it is is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, but the elements come in various isotopes, and the isotope is defined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Matter takes part in two kinds of reactions involving atoms of different kinds - chemical reactions and nuclear reactions. Chemical reactions are common and re-arrange how the atoms are combined into molecules but never change what element an atom is - or even what isotope it is. The reactions involved in the production and use of non-nuclear fuels are all chemical reactions. Nuclear reactions can change what element an atom is, occur on earth only under special conditions and involve something like ten million times the energy. Thus enormously more energy can be obtained from suitable nuclear reactions than from chemical reactions. Uranium has 92 protons. Two isotopes are important. U-235 has an atomic mass of 235 and U-238 has an atomic mass of 238. Natural uranium as it comes from mines contains 140 times as much U-238 as U-235. Because the 235 is the total of protons and neutrons U-235 has 235 - 92 = 143 neutrons. Plutonium has 94 protons. Its important isotopes are Pu-239, which is used in power plants and bombs, and Pu-240 which is ok in power plants but which is a nuisance for those making bombs out of plutonium. There is also Pu-238 which is not fissionable but emits alpha particles and thereby generates heat. The amount of heat produced is convenient for powering spacecraft systems. There is very little natural plutonium. When an atom of U-238 absorbs a neutron in a nuclear reactor, it becomes U-239, which decays in a short time to Pu-239. If a Pu-239 atom stays in the reactor long enough, it absorbs another neutron and becomes an atom of Pu-240 if it doesn't fission. When an atom of U-235 or plutonium absorbs a neutron it almost always fissions. Namely, it splits into two atoms of lighter elements and emits neutrons - on the average a bit more than two. The emitted neutrons can cause further fissions in a chain reaction. In a bomb the chain reaction is very fast; in a power reactor it is slow. The two fragments are emitted at high velocity, and when they are absorbed in the fuel rod a lot of heat is produced. This heat is what powers the nuclear power plant. Separating the isotopes of elements is very expensive. There are big plants for separating U-235 from the U-238 in natural uranium. For nuclear reactors, it is economical to use uranium that has been enriched to contain 4 to 5 percent U-235 instead of the 0.7 percent U-235 of natural uranium. Bombs need over 90 percent U-235. Separating Pu from U is not very expensive, and bombs are mostly made of Pu made from U in special reactors in which the Pu-239 is promptly removed. In ordinary power reactors, the Pu-239 gets contaminated with Pu-240. Separating Pu-240 from Pu-239 is very expensive. Here are some facts about nuclear power plants. Present nuclear power plants consume uranium (specifically U-235) as fuel. When the power plant is loaded with fuel, it can run for 18 months or 2 years before it has to be refuelled, a process that takes a month or two. As the power plant operators have become more experienced, they have learned to operate longer between refuellings and take a shorter time for refuelling. When an atom of U-235 absorbs a neutron it fissions, i.e. it breaks up in parts. These parts consist mainly of two atoms of smaller elements and some neutrons. When a reactor is operating, fission of an atom of U-235 generates on the average a bit more than two neutrons. If each of two neutrons produced by a fission was absorbed by an atom of U-235 the number of fissions would double in a fraction of second and then double again and again. If this were allowed to continue, in a few seconds the reactor would be generating enough power to melt. When the reactor is turned on, the multiplication of fissions is allowed to continue until the reactor is generating power at the desired rate. Then control rods that absorb neutrons are inserted until exactly one neutron from each fission causes another fission. Because some of the neutrons caused by a fission are emitted from the fission products only after a delay of a minute or so, it is not difficult to control the power level of the reactor. Nevertheless, there are safety systems that will shut down the reactor if the power level gets too high or if the cooling water stops flowing. The power to produce electricity comes from the fact that the two atoms produced by the fission of a U-235 atom fly off at high speed, but they don't get even an inch before they hit something and are stopped. Stopping converts their energy of motion into heat, and the reactor heats up. If the heat weren't taken away, the reactor would melt. The heat from fission is taken up by water or steam pumped through the reactor. The hot steam goes through turbines connected to electric generators. About 2/3 of the heat energy is lost, and is emitted to the atmosphere or to a body of water, a river or the ocean. This loss is a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and applies to all power plants, nuclear or coal-burning. If the highest temperature in the steam plant is T1 and the temperature at which heat is exhausted to the environment is T2, the fraction of the heat generated that can be turned into electricity is (T1 - T2)/T1. The fraction of the heat energy transformed into electric energy is called the efficiency of the power plant. For high efficiency T1 should be as high as possible and T2 as low as possible. How high T1 can be is determined by how high a temperature the materials of the reactor can be without softening. How low T2 can be is limited by the environment. Cold seawater gives a good T2. After 18 months or two years, most of the U-235 in the fuel is used up, and the fuel rods consist mainly of the products of fission, which remain radioactive and continue to generate heat. The fuel rods are placed in large pools of water which takes the remaining heat. The fuel rods become less and less radioactive with time. After the rods have cooled off for a while, they should be chemically reprocessed to extract left over uranium and some plutonium that has been produced. The left-over uranium and the plutonium can then be converted to more reactor fuel. The fission products can then be buried in stable rock formations. |
ferhyntorlah:Even if am his SA.. I can only work to make it better,@ least 60% steady power but 100% is not feasible for now |
doctokwus:Please are you an igbo man? Why writing Ibo? |
literarymathy:Remember.... Interviews are like confessions |
Feraz:The cost aspects is quite high though depending on the location, the capacity, the centrifuge, the operations although it can be because of the company contracted but we could have used Israeli company |
calebo101:Baba had a perfect campaign and perfect borrowed slogan of Change from American campaign company that organized Obama election to power though on terms of anonymity...... There can never be changes If surnames and godfathers still control our political system... Had GEJ won ... Nigeria will be liberated from the any thing call God fathers.... With time we shall all understand what we have gotten ourselves into... |
Wsdm:Do you know what is first class? |
calebo101:Thanks bro... Some are blinded with sentiments. Now tell me how we can move forward.... |
ferhyntorlah:My attention was drawn to the things you wrote up there.... Am no enemy of my father land but this electricity thing can not be a miracle... We are 170milion and from international surveys Nigerian will be around 320millon people in 2030.... Generations of electricity is quite different from transmission... The best and the modern source of power generation is through nuclear fossil and we can not run a high tech train with out a level of power generation and we can not achieve the level of power generation without the installation of a full grade nuclear facilities. You can quite agree with me that Nigeria is not ready for such facility and cos this we shall keep on having power outage till we grow up, hence even if we generate power... Transmission and proper distribution is a freeking difficult task considering our ideology..... Please next time learn how to be polite ... Thanks my sister |
Feraz:Thanks brother... For bring me here .... I wish to inform you that Nigeria has the fund to have this facilities but we are not intellectually ready run such facility.... Many may call me out but I want to tell you that we have a very evil politicians( no one is excluded ) and we have a few brothers in the north who practice radical Islam which is no good for such facility.hence if this facility got attacked in respect to our normal vandalization, we shall be exposed and you know the effect. The line between a nuclear weaponry and the nuclear energy is quite slim, considering this its quite a risk..... Our government from time immemorial have a very good record of zero maintenance and appointments due to family tie not expertise I agree with you that that awareness has to be done at least for 10years before think about if to have it or not .... . Considering the cost and amount of power to be produced ... I totally disagree with the figures..... It's simply shows we are not ready to have 100% steady power supply. |
To me we are not yet ready for the nuclear power plant .... It's the best option of power production now but we can not with the I'll sighted leaders I see ... We can not have 100% steady power because this.... We have a lot of work to do before we can go into this. |
aresa:Even if I give you a lecture from now to the next day .... You will never learn or understand the principle of the whole stuff ... This is one problem we have in Africa... A medical doctor will be head of football association... While ex-sports men are there .... You can not know every field my brother, instead of fighting try to learn about that...... The world is moving from our usual power generation system .... Medicine, electricity... Warfare are all moving nuclear ... Don't hate bro ... AM not happy that I will create wonders with centrifuge for western countries ... From Germany to Russia, to Israel and now Mexico while my beloved country is in dark.... Too many Nigerians are doing good around the world. I maintain that Baba has to fix power before thinking of this paper project. |
aresa:Lol... You call it rant.... What mechanism governs the high speed train? Electricity, be it gas... Be it seismic motion mechanism... Electricity is quite important... Get education boy...cos if you look right you will see that you are the one pointless. |
aresa:Hello friend ....I wish to inform you that if you think you have the will than I do... Come work in a nuclear power plant and see how volatile it can be ... Yet I walk in and out these facilities every day knowing that one mistake I will be exposed to a nuclear material/fuel... I know you're quite optimistic about your freeking change but I tell you this ... In western country they plan before they execute ... A train subway runs under my building here but this was pre designed before the building of the city.... My point is this let him give the power he promised and continue the project on ground..... We now have mouth to talk nonsense now because Jonathan was so stupid to pass free press bill in an African country that is not yet ready for it.... When OBJ was there... Did we say a word about his fraudulent contract with Chinese company on rail.... Remember all this promises your Baba is making .... My friend it is near impossible to have 70% steady power supply in Nigeria(ask me I can teach you), its 100% impossible for him make 1=$1, oil is on the drop and will still fall should Iran sign a deal with G7+1 ... And now ISIS is controlling Lybia oil now ...this will cause more damage to oil price.... Please be practical about this than to come here and call people out because you can pay for internet .... Thanks. |
vedd:How old are you ? |
theV0ice:Nigeria politics is quite different..... Hahahahhaa... Funny enough these men at the top knows that most of our educated youths reason like illiterate.... Try such move in here in western world and heavens will go lose .... Nigeria wake up cos the winter is coming |
adorablepepple:Sometimes my tablet find it hard to write English cos its in Spanish platform.... But my point is this... Don't just believe everything you read ok... Who for once ever believed that CNN or NBC can run a false article which lead to dismissal of one of the best reporter on planet earth .. So be wise |
ejiro2130:Please do not get him wrong.... Look ... We celebrate things without asking ourselves reasonable questions... Can Nigeria operate the tube train... The answer is No... Do we have the fund at the moment... The Answer is No.... Do we have sustainable electrical energy to run it .. No... If your so called Baba want to be sincere ... He should focus on power... Then finding a way to raise the poor state of our refineries because if he over looks this few important things with the level of crude oil prices and soon Iran will be permitted to sell its stuck crude due to the sanctions on them, the crude oil prices is bound to fall to the all time lowest..... Considering that our 95% capital income comes from oil... I swear to you Baba can not achieve anything... our problem is competition of eyes service instead of continuity of project... Baba should improve on the already existing work made by GEJ on the train project than to compete on who gave different model..... I must confess that this young boy working for him as brain behind his media success is really a man to hold unto and it shows what our youth can do if we can say no to the old men... We can change our nation... We are blessed with talents.... God bless Nigeria... |
adorablepepple:See how cheap you with a little hint of an article .... Don't just believe everything you read .... Be wise so you don't fall a victim |


Gosh! Are you an enemy of Nigeria? How can you vomit such rubbish? Kai! So there are many of you who don't even want us to have steady power supply ehn? Don't worry, it will happen right before your very eyes. I just don't understand the way some so called literates reason. I'm sorry but I think you are one of the people who don't want good things happening in this land. By their comment, ye shall know them. I believe we will have steady electricity supply in Nigeria, emphasis on "WILL".
