No be small thing

Nice pose with that hair.....is it hers?

Why do we still need to import some components to get the job done? Why can't we produce the required components in Nigeria?

A technology that sees the future? That predicts currency and oil prices? Whoever possesses this technology will automatically become the richest in the world by using the device NOT selling it. I doubt his invention

Networking is the most important of all. Put 99% attention on it

You remind me of that architect in the Matrix movie.

rusher14:
Your writeup appears to display attributes of someone who's still in full control of his cognitive functions.

Nevertheless, one may be pushed to say you are indeed a remarkable tale bearer and should consider a career in writing fictional articles if you aren't already doing so here.

Your plots are however quite unidimesional and predictable with not enough twists and turns. You do seem to do well with suspense for the inquisitive mind as not a few of us have been held spellbound to reading as far as your 23rd installment.

Your purpose for writing is not immediately clear. However, this could be motivated by various factors such as

- You being a marionette for the opposition and doing the bidding of your pay masters
- Being simply a rabble rouser with a penchant for trouble making and invention of events
- You being an amateur albeit slightly talented man of letters trying to display your writing prowess
- The odd chance that mind control does really work and you are being remotely operated to pen this little draft of yours

Either way one might consider this an exercise in futility as even if the stories were true the burden of proof and evidence lies upon you the complainant.

Thanks for letting us into your own little world of intrigues and subterfuge.

@op when intended exporters visit NEPC for useful information, will they get it for free or would have to drop something(naija factor) if you know what I mean

omenka:
My major problem with this "destruction" policy is the sheer wastage it represents. I mean, wouldn't it be better if they confiscated such products and distribute them to the various prisons across the country where we have starving inmates??

Some of the officials of the NESREA, who witnessed the destruction, advised the general public to stop consuming foreign frozen foods because the preservation chemicals were dangerous to human health.

From what I hear, it appears China is also considering cracking so it can also become independent. Also, countries like Russia and other oil producing countries are looking upto china. We all know what happens to price when there is surplus. Coupled with the power to price the commodity lower due to competition. I personally do not see price of our precious commodity getting higher

phantonce:
America is never coming back.
Shale oil is the future gold mine and america is tapping into that.
Unless we have shale oil,America is nt coming back.

Our only bet is china and maybe india.

Frankly, I do not see it happening. America is made up of intelligent economic scientist. Do you think they didn't foresee the current events? There independence if foreign oil is here to stay. We are in it for real this time. What happens to hungry people? Hungry people get angry and take appropriate measures to survive. Nigeria is about to experience a major change

lygn19:
U think because one country reduced there export of our oil dat the economy wud just crash...lol... oil is too valuable don't worry, America wud be back.

If these three bolded questions is solved, the rest will be achievable. Insurgence creates serious complexity for balanced working system. It is also difficult to fight insurgence without running into deficit. But a smart president with the right cabinet can with much less cost.

Ttalk:
There is no doubt that incoming president has a load of work to do in area of tackling economic crises that is lurking.

Will the government able to arrest inflation from clocking 20% before the expiration of his tenure.

Will the government be able to curtail the insurgence that will eventually spread south?

Can any meaningful infrastructure be achieved in the next dispensation?

How will the government cope with budget deficit?

What about impending massive layoff that the civil service will experience?

How will the 36 states adjust to this sudden shock but brute reality?

Will this bring an end to corruption?

Whatever the question is, Nigeria will no longer remain the same again either for better or for worse, and the only alternative is to vote responsibly come 2015, despite the fact that we have very few leaders who can make a change, but to me the task ahead is beyond the grasp of this present government

Sadly, another major cause of our pitiable situation today. Majority of us Nigerians hate to read

barackodam:
So I guess am supposed to read all these.

But seriously, life isn't that hard in Cyprus where I school

You obviously skipped the part where it says "Yes, this has been tested by chefs"

After reading various comments from Nairalander's I became curious as to why the federal goverment would spend 9.2 Billion Naira on cooking stoves but from what i have seen from the manufacturers' website, i personally think it is plausible. whatever is essential and saves money is always welcome.

Here is what i found:

Q: What can I cook in a Wonderbag?

A: From meaty stews and vegetable curries to simple rice, pasta and soups, the Wonderbag cooks food beautifully and thoroughly. Meat comes out tender, and vegetables retain their flavor and texture.

Q: How long should I leave it in the Wonderbag?

A: It depends on the recipe and the size of your cuts of meat. There are guidelines for each recipe but because this is slow cooking, there’s a degree of flexibility on timings. Avoid opening your bag until you’re ready to serve the food as checking it even once will release essential heat.

While you can leave them longer, the minimum for most grains and lentils is about 1 hour; Dried beans need about 2 hours; small, tender cuts of meat need 1.5 hours; Large, on the bone, or tougher meats are better the longer you leave them in the bag.


Q: Is it safe to cook chicken in the Wonderbag?

A: Yes, this has been tested by chefs. The Wonderbag retains heat extremely well. As long as you follow the cooking guidelines for each recipe and ensure that the contents of the pan come to the boil, before simmering for a period, your meat will be thoroughly cooked. To find out more about Wonderbag’s clever heat retention properties visit www.nb-wonderbag.com

Q: How much liquid should I have in a Wonderbag stew?

A: Liquid doesn’t reduce or thicken in the Wonderbag so get your desired quantity and consistency right before you place your pot in the Wonderbag. You can thicken your juice to serving consistency with flour before putting your pot in the Wonderbag. Another thickening technique is to separate your liquid afterwards and reduce it over a high heat.

Q: Can I over-cook the food?

A: It’s extremely hard to over-cook food in a Wonderbag and impossible to burn anything! Most cuts of meat become meltingly tender with lengthy cooking in the bag and can be left for several hours worry-free. Your food will also remain wonderfully hot and ready to serve when you need it.

Q: Can I use any type of pot?

A: Your every-day flameproof metal pots are recommended. Cast iron and earthenware (clay or ceramic) pots become extremely hot themselves, so we recommend lining the inside of your Wonderbag with a dish towel before placing the pot in the Wonderbag, just to be on the safe side.

Q: How long does it stay hot?

A: The food will continue to cook for 6 hours and will stay hot for up to 12 hours. This will vary slightly with food type and quantities, but it’s a good general guideline.

Q: Can I use a pot with a long handle?

A: If your bag is sealed tightly allowing no space or gaps for the hot air to escape a long handle should be fine.

Q: Can I use a pot with glass lid?

A: A glass lid does not retain the heat quite as efficiently as a metal lid, but will still work fine.

Q: Can I use earthenware?

A: Earthenware are very heavy, solid pots that have known to burn the material of the Wonderbag. We would recommend when using this type of pot to really protect your base of the bag from the direct heat of the earthenware pot – either by lining your Wonderbag with a thick dish towel, or placing oven mitts or pot holders inside the bottom of the bag.

Q: How long does food take to cook?

A: Anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours. Recommended time for grains is 1 hour; chicken is 3 hours; red meat 4 hours. The longer you leave your food to cook the more tender it will be.

Q: How do I wash the Wonderbag?

A: Your wonderbag is hand washable; a soapy sponge to the spill will work fine.
That said, you can easily just line the inside of your Wonderbag with newspaper or a dish towel to catch any spills or food that has bubbled out onto the sides of the pot.

Q: How many people will it feed?

A: Your standard bag takes a 10qt (12lt) pot, which could feed about 12 people.

Q: Can I cook for one?

A: You can cook for one! Make sure you use a smaller pot and fill it close to the brim with whatever you are cooking, as having a lot of ‘air’ in an emptier pot will cool the food down a bit.

Q: Where is the “Buy 1 Give 1” (BOGO) bag placed?

A: Currently, BOGO bags are distributed throughout South Africa, mainly to charity groups and church organizations for the less fortunate. We will be extending into Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda in 2014.

Q: Can I cook a joint of meat in the Wonderbag?

A: Yes! There is recipe for Roast Lamb in the recipe book that comes with the bag. A Knorr chef in Europe did a side of beef in the Wonderbag: hot pot, hot oil, beef cooked for 3 mins on each side, remove meat, add carrots and celery and stock, placed the beef back in for five mins each side with the lid on. 3 hours in the Wonderbag. Tender, pink all the way through. Average cut of meat beautifully tenderized. Perfect if you like pink meat.

Q: Will my bag burn if I put a hot pot inside

A: Not with clean, metal pots. In rare occasion, if you end up with a charred piece of food stuck to the bottom of the pot, it could damage the fabric, but won’t set the bag on fire. We recommended the use of a dish towel placed inside the bag to protect it from the direct heat of the pot.

Q: Is the bag flammable?

A: The Wonderbag passes US ‘smolder tests’ (cigarette or smoldering charred food stuck to the bag) but if you set your bag directly onto your ‘lit’ stove top, it will catch fire, in which case it can be quickly doused with 1-2 cups of water.

While we’ve conducted those tests, we haven’t had any reports of this happening with consumers, but to avoid that unpleasant exercise, we recommended you keep your Wonderbag at least a few inches away from your stove top.

Q: Will my food stay hot if I put my lunchbox in the Wonderbag

A: No. Your plastic Tupperware will not retain heat the same way as a metal pot would.

Q: How do I know if my food is ready in the Wonderbag?

A: Anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours. Recommended time for grains is 1 hour; chicken is 3 hours; red meat 4 hours. The longer you leave your food to cook the more tender it will be

I haven't been comfortable telling anyone about my little experience when I was about 5 until now. Other peoples story I have seen here has further convinced me that there are really strange things happening around us that we can't explain. We are limited by what we are biologically designed to see and hear. There are far more things happening around us that our organs can not sense but sometimes we get a chance to see these things by chance

I remember a particular incidence when I was about 5 years old. It was during one of the Sallah celebration. We had Sallah rams at home and I was so fond of playing with them. One afternoon while everyone was away from the house except me, I decided to go play with the Ram. Then suddenly one of the Ram turned and faced me like it wanted to attack me, it stood still, I was afraid then I walked away from my spot and then suddenly, it charged fiercely to the spot I was previously I was so nervous, I stepped another like 15 meters away, it charged very hard again towards that spot I was like it could see me there. This happened over and over until I found my self in the house. I can't still explain what it saw that made it to charge towards my previous positions like that. One thing I know for sure is, if it had succeeded in charging towards me, it would have been fatal because it was big and the horns were very thick.

2. I think I was about three or so, I found some eggs in my uncles backyard. Out of curiosity I used a stone to break it open. Then I saw a chick in it and it was alive but it looked so weak that I felt it was going to die. I knew I had done something wrong so I ran away. On reaching a corner of the building, I saw a yellow chicken the size of an adult elephant approaching me slowly. I ran straight to my uncles wife n told her everything. We went round the house but found nothing. I still see what I saw vividly in my head till today.

He is President Obama's greatest critic. There is hardly any of his tweets without Obama's name mentioned loath-fully. I hope he wins. Let's see what he can offer

I had a similar dream once but it still replays in my thoughts once in a while. There was serious vehicular traffic and everyone was scampering for safety. Some people were even seated on car roofs as most vehicles were filled and couldn't take more people. There was no clear direction as to where to find safety, everyone just followed the crowd. I was tensed and sweating when I woke up.

My advice:

Always ensure to at least have a half tank of fuel in your car at all times because in chaotic situations, you are going to be glad you have it.
