Many people don't know that anyday can be a crossover or new year if they/we choose to make it so.

MrPresident1:
Ikpeazu

Ikpe (spelt Ipe, means scales in Yoruba)
Azu (means fish in Igbo)

Ikpeazu means fish scales

Don't you know that "kp" is a letter in Igbo language, it doesn't make sense to replace it with another letter (p)

Most people that don't like solar technology don't know about the resent development in the field like the introduction of solution processed perovskites, quantum dot and nanowire solar cells etc

One problem with today's scientists is that they think deeply and not clearly- Nikola Tesla
If Nigerians want to compete with the rest of the world in technology, why not develop carbon neutral technologies like carbon sinking or lead the field of nuclear fusion research, computer technology, biological nuclear magnetic resonance or other biological sample analysis and medical research etc
Most countries that rely heavily on nuclear power are usually one's with limited access to cheap gas,oil and coal maybe have plans for nuclear weapons.
A new term should be created for countries that borrowed technologies they're not fully in control of and can not manage( technological puppet), they should think, what if they have disagreement with the master country, what if they decides to leave (like nigerian iron and steel), what if there is cyber attack on the nuclear facility, do we have advanced computer technology to protect it.
Instead of them to look into coal,gas, solar and wind,hydro and geothermal technology transfer first.

. There are Many countries seccesion took place either through war,Reffrendum or peaceful dialogue ,There was never a birth of a Nation by Nigeria themselves ,Tell me any country that was given birth to by Foreigners (Lord Lugard) He never deceived his people ,he took up. Sincere fight for the Igbo Freedom from an idea ochestrated by the whites ,Yes He Lost it due to the of the same and Conspiracy of the whites ,Though no more war ,This Problem of a Country given birth to with selfish intrest of the whites still hunts us as a Nation till date.

This is the same reason i believe Africans Will not be great or even catch up with the whites, nigerians are very illogical and irrational, they claim they hate White's neo-colonanism but it in Nigeria because of hatred.

hahahaha....
you know all this words and you still have no confidence in yourself....??

You need to increase your knowledge to understand, technological advancements is when a country have people ( human resources) that is technically advanced with infrastructure to it not by borrowing the above. So they should focus more on educating the people on the technology you want to advance eg a nuclear technology will start by educating selected and intelligent group of people and giving them resources needed and then starting from experimental nuclear reactors etc don't have time to explain everything.

obidark:


it was a tzunami.....

hellllllooooooo....!!

and so what....??
i dont believe nigeria could handle a earthquake,so what....??

because una dont have self confidence doesnt mean all other blacks must think the same like you too....

you want to stay behind and play with solar,then fine....

but stop trying to put down all black people....

So Russian built and maintained nuclear power plant makes you technological andvanced country, you must be kidding. When you cannot even build a super computers capable of petaflop not to talk of exascale or particle physics research centre not even Biological nuclear magnetic resonance for biological sample analysis,finish the steel industry before i take you serious

EazyMoh:

Solar has killed 100X more people compared to Nuclear while still generating a meager amount of energy at astronomical cost!

Nuclear is the safest, greenest, and cheapest energy source. It should be our priority.

A simple knowledge about risk analysis would tell you it is the best. It is like air travel despite of things go wrong, it is still the safest means of travel by far. And it would foolhardy to rule out air travel in your life just for fear if a plane crash.
Before anybody quotes me, I am a Chemical Engineer, and I work right in the middle of the energy sector, so I know what I am saying.

This Prof on the other hand is a discredited IPOB member who thrives on championing conspiracy theories. Google him up.

the fact that you claim to be a chemical engineer don't qualify you to talk about nuclear power, this is not a matter of distillation and electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution etc it's a matter of particle physics, quantum mechanical high energy interaction, biological, environmental,sociological and economic consequences and even energy efficiency and optimisation.

obidark:


thats not enough....other nations are developin in such a rapid rate,its a bad idea to stay behind....
in a world that is eat or be eatin,dont stay behind and count on human mercy....its hugwash for the gullibe....

If you care about catching up with the rest of the world then you should be talking about things like manufacturing, tokamak magnetic confinement fusion, artificial intelligence, intelligence amplification,super computers, quantum computers, particles physics research eg proton synchrotron,electron positron collider, particle collider like the large hadron Collider etc not dangerous old and slow nuclear fission reactor

Nowenuse:


This can never happen because all Buhari needs to do is to speak Hausa and use islam as a tool to tell the northern muslims that it is the southern christians that are the problem of the country trying to frustrate him because he is a muslim.

Watch how all the tens of millions of northern muslims will rise up in his defence in spite of the suffering. Some Yoruba muslims will even and he immediately gets half of the country's population by his side.

Already, the struggle has been sectionalized!

Nigeria can never have a nationwide revolutionary movement because of our ethnic and religious differences.

just like they tagged the first coup "Igbo coup"

prizlezzlalasky:
God! This is terrible, from the stories I've read here on Nairaland, one thing so glaring is the fact that genuine guys are always attracted to slay queens.
Where as sincere and genuine ladies are being "Ronaldorized" by awon play boys aka Lionel Mess I.

@ Op.... Take heart, do what ever your heart tells you. But please look for a sincere lady for your sanity and long life.

The problem stems from the fact that good girls always reject the good guys. So they have no option than to be with the bad girl that is using them as secondary option.

Let them revive gold, tin, manganese in the North first, second security,third economy, fourth bad infrastructure and the list goes on

Alot of people commenting don't live in Abia,aba before this istration or shallow thinker.
The kind of infrastructural decay in ABA needs a genius level intelligence to solve
Infact they should establish a state construction company or massively partner with one else it can swallow all budget without visible impact.

We have three regions in nigeria North,West and East .

I don't know why it's difficult for people to understand the obvious the term south is used when the north wants to cheat the west and east.

Have you asked yourself why they make reference to three anytime Nigeria is metioned, three regions before amalgamation, three founding fathers,three major ethnic groups etc.

FrLukas:


Wrong. Its not hatred.

Don't imbibe the narrative of IPOB, please.

The Yorubas are not your enemies, people of Akwa Ibom.

Put more pressure on your federal lawmakers.

They are the ones with the political clout to get projects to your side.

If they don't have the clout, then you should vote in other people who have the clout to get things done.

That's how other regions do it bro.

Everything is a game of politics and aligning interests.

You guys deserve the deep sea port, but have your lawmakers ever presented such concerns on the floor of the house before?

Why can't you call a spade a spade (the government don't want to.. simple). How can you be so hypocritical. Trying to set people up against their leaders. How much pressure did your people put on your lawmakers before those infrastructures in your region was approved and completed.
