Beaf: Stop being an idi0t and get out of this place. Why derail what is meant to be an intellectual debate? This is a debate for higher minds and not scums like you. Seems you're high on some cheap ogogoro. Get a life you scum! |

[quote author=frosbel][/quote] Unlike you, i do not pledge allegiance to any country, even though i possessed their passports not even Nigeria. My allegiance lies only to a region off the east banks of the Niger river. That being said, i speak from a non-biased point of view when i am evaluating these western countries. I am not here to pull you and your love of England down. I just wanna let you know that if you sincerely believe that England is a better country all-round than say USA, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and so on,you have zero experience on Europe and the Americas. One of the reasons i left England was due to the backwardness of the country. It is like they are stuck in time and do not wanna let go of the middle ages. Technologically, England is a mess. You would not be surprised to witness toilets with pull-down pumps in 2012 or water faucets you have to screw and unscrew to make the tap run. Your so called health system is a sham and laughable at best. Want to see what a free healthcare system looks like, try Norway or Germany and you would understand. England is good for Nigerians who are already indoctrinated in Nigeria about how posh ''jand'' is and who have zero experience about how far ahead other countries are in comparison to England but for people like me who know better, England still remains the refuse dump of western Europe. I would give it to England though in terms of diversity but for wealth, better social lives and system and tech. advancement, you people are still stuck in time. Don't you people still ration electricity in 2012? lol. |

Beaf: ^ so why are nigerians poor if there's a lot to be made in nigeria? why does the average nigerian spend $2 a day? there's a lot of money to be made in nigeria when it comes to backdoor and shady contracts that are only accessible for 0.05% of the population. Bandit C.: you must have lived in a cave while in england. ration electricity in the united kingdom? of course we do.....we only get 6 hours electricity everyday for the past 5 yrs. |

ballabriggs: Everybody knows you are a fool, so theres no point repeating it. I'm sure you are also one of those sorry souls suffering abroad, they always come across as deeply frustrated. |

Beaf: I guess we just view the world in different ways. I've grown up in a world in which electricity is the lifeblood of business. It is just a basic tool that allows people to do things more efficiently and cheaply. In most of the world (not even just Western world. China, Brazil, etc too), it isn't even something you think about it. If you want to accomplish task X, you need electricity to do it. I'm sure that it is fun and enjoyable for you to think about how to purify water, access the internet, manufacture cars and planes, etc without electricity. But this is not the 1800s. This is 2012. If one is trying to build a successful, legitimate business/society/etc, then at some point you'll need electricity. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to convince some Nigerians abroad to return in Nigeria and pursue your 419 schemes. But for the vast majority, they'll be uninterested. |

in the book of beaf diahrrea is the only ailment you can get from water https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection Applications Cautions The bolded is an example of the laziness I am talking about. What exactly needs huge capital? You've simply taken one look at being responsible, then collapsed and died. You didn't even try to think of aspects of precious stones, waterways, solar energy that you could get into for next to free off charge. the above is beafs original quote - beaf sees provision of emergency water as an imaginative business venture - he is a true pdp montser even the villain in quantum of solace wasn't this callous so whats your big plan - selling used ept water bottles? |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by ndahbros1: 9:42am On May 27, 2012 |
I wonder y all of u are beefing Beaf(pun actually intended) over solar electrification issues. Y don't u see it as a challenge to innovation or enterprise? Must he give details of how it can be done or if it is even possible here in Nigeria? It is for d business- and creative-minded person to assert himself over d opportunity. And believe me, opportunity it is. There is nothing dat is not capable of making one rich in Nigeria. Already d average Nigerian does not depend on govt. So dis cud just be one area where someone can pick up d gauntlet n make himself rich. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Nobody: 9:44am On May 27, 2012 |
this is the sort of brain in gej's govt - everything that he is proposig are simply exploitative solutions aimed at making money off poor villagers etal selling solar energy and warm bottled water to villagers the kind of mind that can see solar heated water as a business opportunity . . . |

ndahbros1: I wonder y all of u are beefing Beaf(pun actually intended) over solar electrification issues. please get off beafs prick and try to think for a change it has been broken down to you if you bother to read rather than spout empty talk - the cost of solar energy /watt is not competitive. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Beaf: 9:46am On May 27, 2012 |
coogar: No, lack of imagination is rife in Nigeria. I've given examples of how whites come and research our agbo, only to return, patent some chemicals, set up a business and make billions. We look down on the things close to us, in fact we sneer at them. I recall on another thread, I posted pictures of Jamaican water crackers made from cassava that you can buy on the streets of the US and the UK. The first time I saw those crackers, I immediately recognised them as something we have in the rural areas of Delta state, called akpo biscuit (or in slang, truckman tablet). The big difference is that while the Jamaicans are proudly exporting that stuff, you can only find it in rural areas here. But thats ready money to be made in pounds and dollars from cassava. Thats just one example. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by ektbear: 9:47am On May 27, 2012 |
The funny thing to me oyb is that I was actually very interested in water purification as a kid. I even did a science fair project on it in 4th grade Spent a lot of time reading about it. Anyway, initially, I thought Beaf was just too dumb to realize that generating electricity from solar is expensive. Now I realize that he is just too dumb to realize that most businesses in the world that are profitable require electricity. His proposal to purify water w/o electricity is cute and all. But so would be a proposal by someone to use oxen and goats for transportation, rather than cars. Most Nigerians are in 2012, and trying to go to 2020. Beaf on the other hand is in 2012, and wants to go back to 1820. |

ekt_bear: naija being what it is - i have multiple responsibilities one of these is 3d guy in my depth the simple business of an overnight render means i have to run the generator through the night. now picture me as a small business, that would drive my costs right up - and that is just a personal example |

English are workaholics with little time for pleasure except to watch soccer. their dinner parties are so brief and funny. You may be on you feet artying in the name of cocktail. eh? Imagine someone standing to parrty, tell me how would you have the chance to sit and consume? Heavy taxes on workers is also there and they do not involve themselves on unnecessary wars in afghanistan, iran, iraq, vietnam,etc. there is no Osama bin whatever threatning them. all they do is work,work, and work. |

My ancestors were farmers and hunters. Men who obtained clean drinking water in a manner much like this: Perhaps my sister, upon graduating from her Ivy League university in 2016 will be interested in returning to this way of life that her ancestors left so many years ago |

Bandit C.:. My allegiance is to God first and then My country , by which I mean the former Biafra That being said, i speak from a non-biased point of view when i am evaluating these western countries. I am not here to pull you and your love of England down. Hmmm, please let's not get emotional I just wanna let you know that if you sincerely believe that England is a better country all-round than say USA, Germany, Switzerland, Finland and so on,you have zero experience on Europe and the Americas. One of the reasons i left England was due to the backwardness of the country. It is like they are stuck in time and do not wanna let go of the middle ages. I have been to a number of countries in Europe and I say, ENGLAND forever !!!! England backward - with one of the fastest broadband speeds in the world, we now have fibre optics directly going to people's houses with bandwidths in exces of 100mbs, something you will never experience even in Nigerian offices. Here again we beat the Americans hands down. Infrastructure is also top class, not sure what you mean by the freely thrown around word called 'backward'.
Appears you were in the UK for a number of weeks Your so called health system is a sham and laughable at best. Want to see what a free healthcare system looks like, try Norway or Germany and you would understand. I have used it time and time again , it works. Free full blood test and yearly health check, free diagnosis, free treatment , only thing I pay for is cheap drugs at £7 per prescription irrespective. Of course my taxes makes this possible and I am proud of it. England is good for Nigerians who are already indoctrinated in Nigeria about how posh ''jand'' is and who have zero experience about how far ahead other countries are in comparison to England but for people like me who know better, England still remains the refuse dump of western Europe. For JJCs, this comment might make sense. They must have done something really bad to you I would give it to England though in terms of diversity Good man but for wealth, better social lives and system and tech. advancement, you people are still stuck in tome. So why did you come here, lol. Don't you people still ration electricity in 2012? lol. And what about the recent power outages in the US, do you want evidence ?? |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by ektbear: 9:52am On May 27, 2012 |
oyb: Yep. We've got to face this electricity problem squarely. Stop trying to run away or hide from it, like Beaf is doing. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Nobody: 9:52am On May 27, 2012 |
coogar: You know what i mean. How many hours in a day do you let your light bulb burn without becoming hysterical about electricity bill? Don't you people stay in the dark at night and use the TV Set to illuminate the room. I have witnessed in brixton at a lady's house where you take shower with a bucket and a bowl. Such a mess. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Beaf: 9:53am On May 27, 2012 |
ekt_bear: The bolded is the only sensible thing you've said all day. Your ideas are all onetrack and daft. We are in Nigeria not America, also Nigeria will never grow along the same lines as America. We are bloody different. Run along with your stup!d ideas. Many people run very successful businesses selling water in bags. America is not Nigerias standard, Nigeria and her culture are our standard and thats how we're gonna build our beloved country. Not with stup!d ideas of purifying water with tonnes of electricity when unlike most of the US, the sun can do it for us almost free and is overhead for us 365 days a year (to a buffoon like you though, hours are the only thing that matter). What a clown with an arse for a brain. Don't you look silly now? |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Nobody: 9:54am On May 27, 2012 |
ekt_bear: you are being too kind to the dunce - e seems to think the world is one big village in the middle of nowhere cut off from electricity all his business ideas are basically hick/rube exploitation of a captive market trying to turn emergency/charity type solutions into money spinning ventures the so called potable solar water cannot be stored overnight - so what happens if the kids are thirsty at night the guy is just a disgrace |

Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by ektbear: 9:57am On May 27, 2012 |
Beaf: 1 day = 24 hours 1 year = 365 (or 366) days Thus, it makes no difference whether one talks of hours of sunlight per year or days per year. The point is.... Given that a) solar is 3X or 4X as expensive as the competing energy sources b) you effectively need 3X or 4X more hours of sun per year to match the competing fuel sources It is simply physically/mathematically impossible for one to capture 3X or 4X more hours of sun per year than the US gets anywhere in Africa.. |

What does the guy mean by development ? I think he has only been to England or has never been to any EU nations or US If development means infrastructure and technology availability for livelyhood , then England is close to Africa When it comes to infrastructure in Europe, Please I rate as follows because I am here and go round always : 1 Germany, 2. Sweden 3. Switzerland 4. Finland then others. I tot it was only me that feel the old systems in the UK seems appalling, but most of my friends do when they go there Thank God i don't live there [size=16pt][/size] |

Imagine someone standing to parrty, tell me how would you have the chance to sit and consume? the irony.... in england, people live to work. in the states, people work to live. the only country where the vast majority work 16-18 hours per day. the average american has 3 jobs. that is illegal in the uk to start with. i have tasted both sides of the coin and i am afraid, america is shyte! america is a vacuum, hiding behind a thick layer of hollywood gloss that's incredibly superficial. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Beaf: 9:59am On May 27, 2012 |
oyb: http://www.labmanager.com/?articles.view/articleNo/7535/article/Michigan-Tech-Prof-Develops-New-Way-of-Purifying-Drinking-Water Do you just pretend to be an id!ot, or are you for real? Long and short is you can purify water with solar energy, and even if your brain is in your arse, you can find ways to industrialise the process. But I'm forgetting that you are a mentally marooned lazy phuck. |

coogar: My brother, you seem to slam the hammer on the nail each time you make these factual comments. America is a windbag, lots of air but no substance. |
Re: Why Is England More Developed And Stable Than America? by Nobody: 10:01am On May 27, 2012 |
i wonder what beafs innovative water purification will do for dysentry, guinea worm , river blindness and cholera? or does he think diarrhea is the only water borne ailment? Cumulative solar energy (including the infrared radiation component) heats the water. If the water temperatures rises above 50°C, the disinfection process is three times faster. welcome to beafs hot water stand get your genuine pure hot water here only 50 degrees centigrade - guaranteed to take the edge off your thirst hot tepid and refreshing |

Bandit C.: that means she's poor....pure plain n simple. using brixton as an example to judge the average brit is like using the ghettos of south central la to judge an average american. brixton is occupied by people in the lower rung of the ladder - poor people. so get your facts right. the light bulb in my house is put to maximum use, so is water.

frosbel: Bro i just returned last from England at the end of April. I kid you not when i tell you that the incident with the bucket and bowl was in 2010. I was shocked to say the least. Please if you can, broaden your perspective and fly to other countries around Europe. You need no Visas and the low cost flights like Airberlin and Ryan Air are giving out tickets almost for free. Do it and you may start seeing the Island in a different light, trust me. |
