We have done a great deal of criticisms, its time to be constructive. If you have any idea of what can be done to make our lives better, suggest it here. The idea is to make it a forum where people in government and private sectors can pick up ideas for different sects of the economy.

Suggest creative Technologies and ideas that could solve our power problems, improve our transportation system, increase our revenue generation, secure our lives, makes us healthier, improve our agricultural practises, explore and add value to our natural resources, reduce costs of doing things. Yes I know corruption is one of our major issue, dont get lazy about this by looking for an eazy way of escape, do the real thing, research on new things going on around the world that we dont know about and bring it here. Be part of those that will shape our futre. Your fatherland becons

Make it comprehensive and easy to understand please.

On health, we need to eradicate malaria in Nigeria. See what is being done in Tanzania below.

Tanzania: Larvicides 'Cut Urban Malaria'
Deodatus Balile
23 April 2009
Dar Es Salaam — Larvicides could be back on the malaria control agenda after researchers in Tanzania found that killing mosquitoes before adulthood could cut malaria infection rates in urban areas.
The use of larvicides died out in developing countries with the introduction of the pesticide DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) in the mid-twentieth century. Their use has since been controversial due to concerns that larviciding is expensive and unsustainable.
A team led by Gerry Killeen, from Tanzania's Ifakara Health Institute, worked with the Dar es Salaam City Council for three years to develop the best ways of applying Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) larvicides. Both are soil bacteria that kill mosquito larvae without being toxic to humans.
Three wards - Buguruni, Kurasini and Mikocheni - with 128,000 inhabitants were chosen to trial the larvicides for one year. Bti was added to outdoor ponds and swamps, and Bs was used to treat pit latrines, septic tanks and domestic sewerage systems.
The larvicides cut both the number of mosquitoes and the prevalence of malaria. Malaria rates in children under five decreased by 72 per cent and the researchers say the effect was as good as sleeping under an insecticide-treated bednet (ITN).
The method has been extended to cover 600,000 residents in thirty wards.
"I can't tell the amount of mosquitoes we used to have here," says Salim Said, a resident of Buguruni. "They have helped us to do away with this nuisance."
Malaria control programmes usually focus on rural, high-risk areas but half of Africa's population is expected to live in towns or cities by 2030 and controlling or eradicating malaria in such areas could be fairly easy, said Killeen.
Khadija Kannady, project manager of the Urban Malaria Control Programme (UMCP) which carried out the work, says using larvicides is viable and cost-effective since it costs US$0.5 cents to protect a person per year compared with US$2 for ITNs - but the two approaches should be complementary.
Prosper Chaki from Ifakara Health Institute, who was also involved in the research, says that the cooperation of the local community is important, and larvicide application is sometimes missed because of lack of access to property

So many sick people all over the places, here is one that needs quick attention, i will recommend yaba left.

There is only one thing I believe we need to do. We have to direct our opinions on the Judiciary. They are actually the hope of this country and they have not been living up to it at all. America is the way it is today because everyone knows where the law stands on issues. They have had 200 years of judicial pronouncements that leaves no one in doubt on where the law stands on a number of issues. That is why there is little room for manipulation. That is why our Judiciary should come out bold and make pronouncements that leaves no one in doubt. Not the half hearted decisions and bribe motivated pronouncements they make. It is well known that our court of appeal is the most corrupt and no one anywhere seem to talk about those Judges. All we shout about is Politicians. We should really not spare those guys in the Court who think they are representative of God on earth and go around dispensing Naira motivated judgements
