PeterKbaba: Are you highhh....... China that as borrowed USA over a Trillion dollars

thats true but the same china also depends on USA for "consumer spending". Incidentally that has slowed and the Chinese are not able to generate the same spending domestically leading to a slowing down of china's economy.

Btw, I hope NPF no go reprogram this robot to be collecting bribe automatically from transporters !

adamooye5: Finally I made front page.thanks moderator.

Oya make you organize for boys make we celebrate this your FP success.... fried rice & chicken sounds good to me

Horus: What is wrong with the Police?

dont mind them, it is just police being police. They want the poor fish seller to "shake body" before they release him.

PDPwayoo: Ibadan is still far from civilization. Im my whole life as a Nigerian, it was in Ibadan i saw a very beautiful girl in her early 20s that can not speak English.

bros, it may not be her fault. Country hard for many people and she may not have had access to quality education.

nopsman1: Dana is trying to lure awoof loving nigerians to their graves. word of advice. cheap airfare from Dana will lead to ur call to glory...... hmmmm

cheap airfares are provided by carriers all around the world..... nothing new. The promotional airfare will just be for a few seats while the rest will probably be sold at full market price. Airline safety can be ensured by effective monitoring/regulation of the requisite government airport/transport agencies.

pistol: Then for you,
A bungalow is a storey building abi?

A bungalow has different definitions depending on regions and so you have to be specific with your question ........

"A bungalow is a type of house, with varying meanings across the world. Common features to many bungalows include being detached, low-rise (single storey or one-and-a-half storeys), and the use of verandahs....."

Steezz: LMAO! See who is talking! Wat is dat all about on ur profile pic, huh?

I agree, these days there are some "females" on NL saying very s3xually explicit things (or with sexually explicit profiles) and not that it is wrong but that is just very typical of what a guy would do. So that makes you wonder if it not just a guy who is undercover, trying to ......

coastal queen: Too Bad your husband is free to take a fresh baby girl to replace you.

... you talk true oh.... a fresh under-aged girl

At @OP .... nice, i just watched the video online and it is hilarious! A very good illusion by Andy Gross.

ajaolu: thanks so much for the prompt answer, i am so much passionate about that field (plus electronics) but anyway, i am still doing good in surveying and geoinformatics. I will appreciate it if i could get some educational materials on the elementary foundations of elect. Engr.

surely bro, I will surely gather some good fundamental EE stuff and hook you up by PMing it to you.

Allocsoluwatosi: Don't forget that voltage is a workdone in bringing a charge from infinity to dat poin. But current is the flow of charge in a conductor per unit time, and also it is current that is dissipitated as heat energy wen encounter a body of reasonable amount of resistance I.e the man body. To cap it all a current as small as 0.02A can cause electrocution to death.

Good point but you cannot look at current in isolation. You also have to consider voltage - or more accurately voltage difference or potential difference. A voltage difference is what gives rise to current flow in the first place else you will not have current flow to begin with. So when you say that 0.02Amps can kill a person that is not necessarily accurate. At what voltage is that current being generated should be the question? As an example, your mobile phone charger even outputs higher current about 0.5 to 1 amps yet that does not kill or even shock you on contact because it is at only only about 5 volts maximum. Transmission lines on the other hand have very high voltages (11 kilo volts and much higher) and that is done by design to ensure low energy losses on the transmission path :- the conductor lines. Energy loss is = square of current * resistance linky. Hence, current is made very small (via transformers) to reduce these losses.

ajaolu: how did you calculate it to be 415, i think it should be 240 x 2 = 480

Bros, great question but electrical engineering is crazy oh. You cannot simply multiply the two numerical values for voltages across two lines to determine voltage across the lines. You have consider it as a voltage difference. So even though the two lines are at the same potential (240 volts) they are at different phases (120 degrees diff). So the voltage difference across two live lines is not 240-240 it is instead square root (3) x 240 (voltage of one line to ground - which is zero volts) = 1.73*240 = 415v

Kaduna be crocodile city?? Where all the crocs sef? Or people don chop dem finish

Allocsoluwatosi: Condolescense to family of d deceased, but it little current in high tension transmission that kills not the high voltage. To confirm check van de graaf generator built with thousand of voltage, the only effect it has on the body is just pulling up ur hair

oga no oh, static electricity case from a van der graff is different I believe...., though the static voltage is high, it dissipates away rapidly on contact because there isn't sufficient charge. Whereas the high voltage in electricity lines can kill because that voltage level is always maintained (by the generation process) on human contact

nemesis will eventually catch up

kzokul: Dis mod is playing politics on nairaland coz I was d 1st person 2 create dis topic even wit pix of d electrocuted man and it was not on front page and dis guy jez put hm own nw and e don enta fp shap shap..wat is really going on seun...after u wil b d ones criticizing politicians and their likes.....u don't knw dt dis is how dey strted.....no p sha....

you talk true oh, your own thread has pic and so could have been granted FP privileges . Maybe mod gave it to the OP of this thread because he/she actually posted it first .... on the 23rd and that is an important consideration for FP I believe.
(also ill lose my first to comment status on your thread )

RIP ..... Condolence to his family too.

Needless to say, that was an ill advised move by the unfortunate electrician. If he had the misfortune of working on an 11kV line then 11,000 volts would have surely done the damage. Even if it was a regular 240 volt 3 phase line, that would have been 415 volts across 2 lines

I guess anyone can decided to run for election for president. The real challenge would be to get people to vote for you.

hrykanu231: Why them dey kidnap oyibo sef? Whatever hapnd 2 our womanliness hungry senators or their children...kidnap them and u get my support

bcoz oyimbo de fear and de pay money ($$ sef) quick quick .... also oyimbo no sabi bargain either so dem go gree for first price kidnapper talk....

pistol: That's a two storey building na.
How do Nigerians count how many floors that are in a building sef?

actually it can be considered a 3 storey building. Sometimes you can even count the ground floor as one of the storey making it a total of 3 (may not be conventional, but I do not think it is incorrect either ) wikipedia on building storey

Wow, both are gorgeous but since we have to make a pick.....
If I am voting on land then I will give the ever slight advantage to Ms Kate. If I have the misfortune to be drowning in some river then I will surely vote for Ms. Daniella because I believe her ginormous and lovely "puppies" would make excellent flotation devices thereby saving me

Competition is a good thing (for consumers). Dana promotion is a good sign

Wow - her make up artists have done a fantastic job!
