What CNN will not tell you:

''Since World War II, during a supposed golden age of peace, the United States military has killed or helped kill some 20 million people, overthrown at least 36 governments, interfered in at least 85 foreign elections, attempted to assassinate over 50 foreign leaders, and dropped bombs on people in over 30 countries. The United States is responsible for the deaths of 5 million people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and over 1 million just since 2003 in Iraq.

Since 2001, the United States has been systematically destroying a region of the globe, bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria, not to mention the Philippines. The United States has “special forces” operating in two-thirds of the world’s countries and non-special forces in three-quarters of them.

The U.S. government provides weapons, military training, and/or military funding to almost every dictatorship and oppressive government on earth.''

CNN would rather brainwash you with images of a US soldier carrying an Afghan baby, so you can say ''Awwww.... how kind of these angels..'', than tell you the truth about the USA and what they do in this world.

This is why you crashed the economy?

The crash in OIL PRICE crashed the economy, not Buhari.

The nation could not cope with the price crash because the Jonathan regime looted the treasury, and saved little if anything.

Lol... All empires must crumble.

Hitler, Nebuchadnezzar, Pharoah, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Darius, Roman empire, Sennacherib, Islamic and crusade conquest all did worse than America... America is God's tool just like Israel...

Babylon the Great is the antiGod system of things perpetrated on this earth, of which many countries and peoples have built their economic, cultural and social life forms.. Which will be destroyed at the return of the lord Jesus Christ to set things right....

Go read about George Washington's Vision of America before it was founded... However, also America is/was/will be better than any superpower the world has seen/will see...

Dude, just SHUT UP, because you are an ignorant, misled kid who doesn't know his left from his right.

Those people and nations you listed, COMBINED, have not killed 1/10th the number of people the USA has killed, so stop typing TRASH about them being ''worse'' than America.

CNN brainwashed cretin. Don't use your brain you hear?

obonujoker:


We knew how other superpowers before America were.... USA is the best superpower ever... The day the USA is destroyed (in the near future), christianity and other smaller people are in for it....

No one said USA is a saint, but they are far better and considerate than previous/would be powers....

Your ignorance wears a hat and carries a walking stick.

You are a victim of western media brainwashing and propaganda.

The 100 million native Americans who were massacred, the 15 million enslaved Africans - your ancestors - many of whom were tortured to death, the 2 million Iraqis slaughtered based on a pack of lies about non-existent WMDs, the thousands of Libyans who were slaughtered and Gadaffi murdered, the Vietnamese who were slaughtered in their tens of thousands, the people of Nagasaki and Hiroshima who were wiped out in a matter of seconds - all 150,000 of them, via nuclear bombs plus MILLIONS MORE people from Guatemala to Haiti, all victims of US vandalism, do not share your romantic view of a benevolent, kind-hearted America, a nation that found its morals (or rather, pretends to) only after it had raped the world, and cornered its riches.

The thousands of Afghans killed by US forces. The Afghans had nothing to do with 9/11. Bin laden was a SAUDI national, and his family are multimillionaire Saudi business people who still do business in the US today. 9/11 was clearly an inside job aimed at creating the conditions to warrant invasion of middle eastern nations.

Thank goodness that GOD sees the sins of America, and the blood of billions of innocents it has shed.

God cannot be swayed by CNN propaganda and western media manipulation and whitewashing of western crimes.

Babylon the Great, as the USA is called in the book of Revelations, will answer for her crimes against God's Creation.

obonujoker:


USA is miles better than Afghanistan.

DUMBO, ''better'' is RELATIVE and SUBJECTIVE.

Damn Airhead.

obonujoker:


Yes, but its miles better than afghan or Nigeria

''Better'' is a relative, subjective, and nebulous term, you dunce.

For a person who wants organic food, family ties, less taxes, and less exposure to gun crime, Nigeria is 'better' than America.

For an Afghan who wants to avoid the drugs, prostitution, and materialism of the west, Afghanistan is 'better'

What you might say is America is richer and more developed.

It is not in everyone's eyes that that equates to being ''better''.

Nigerian Genius Invented an Insect Control Technology in Brazil

Thursday, February 04, 2021

Abdulrazak Ibrahim is the brain behind the insect control technology that is protecting farmers' crops in Brazil - The genetic engineer co-led an African-Brazil project that is responsible for the creation of the first-ever biolistic facility to be in Northern Nigeria - He said he got the inspiration to delve into science, technology and innovation pathways fields of knowledge from Obafemi Awolowo University's Professor Funso Sonaiya

Abdulrazak Ibrahim


The long-held belief that African nations only exist as consumers without making any contribution to the betterment of the cause of humanity is fast becoming a thing of the past. There seems to be a silent revolution in that regard and Nigerians are no doubt at the forefront of this drive. Nigerians are every now and then coming up with awesome inventions that are no pushovers either home or abroad.

Young Nigerian Inventor Designs Solar-Powered Kiosk To Help Local Vendors

He got the idea after seeing a vendor struggling to work at night.



If you were to travel across Nigeria, you would probably find yourself appeasing your hunger and thirst through Mai Shayi and Indomie sellers that are common across the country. From making noodles to fixing up beverages, these fast food hubs are especially common in the Northern region of the country, and the sellers usually rely on small-sized generators to keep their running business running at night.

Now thanks to a young inventor named Usman Dalhatu, CEO of Dalsman Tech, a futuristic-looking solar-powered kiosk, called iCart Solution, can help sellers continue their work without the need for generators.

An all-in-one kiosk to solve all problems

Dalhatu defined his invention as "a movable car that is used for making fast food and snacks in the streets and campus" to Interesting Engineering. After seeing a seller working at night, Dahlatu started thinking about how he can help him do his work with ease. He came up with the kiosk to assist and support the vendors' businesses, and thanks to this invention, the sellers also don't litter their surroundings.

His design, custom made for the local Mai Shayi and Indomie vendors, has an inverter battery, cooking stove, portable desk, and a television to keep those waiting for food entertained. There are also various compartments for food storage.

Dalhatu explained that they use locally-sourced materials in Nigeria to build the kiosks, and it took them five days to produce one prototype.

iCart Solution also has a solar panel at the side which can be used to charge the television and the stove, making it run on renewable energy and eco-friendly. Moreover, it could potentially discourage petty traders from installing illegal attachments and structures in the Nigerian markets and along the roads.

This is not the young entrepreneur's first rodeo though. In 2020, he had an emergency ventilator idea which he transformed into a portable automatic ventilator.

Meet Max Chinnah, the 26-Year-Old Nigerian Inventor of the Smokeless Stove and CEO of Terraoak Inc



The Abuja-born Chinnah was fortunate to have access to a computer
when he was just 10 because his family could afford one. By 2011, Chinnah had received a scholarship package which would eventually help him get to Wartburg College.

What inspired the cookstove idea?
Chinnah, in a NextBillion podcast, explained that his passion to solve the world’s indoor smoke pollution problem was born out of the fact that his grandmother died of smoke pollution at a very young age.

Still, he says, being a computer science graduate of Wartburg College wasn’t enough. It was his experience at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in Miami that inspired him to become an inventor.

Terraoak inc. which is based in Iowa was co-founded by Chinnah and Godwin Attigah, to produce the smokeless stove at a large scale with the hope of selling it worldwide.

In 2016, Chinnah won $10,000 Innovation Prize at Unite for Sight’s Global Health & Innovation Conference at Yale University, which funded field tests in Ghana.

He also received funding from The Resolution Project, Duke Energy and the Iowa Renewable Energy Association and won an innovation video competition sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Recently, Terraoak got seed funds from Red Cedar, a local organisation created to help startups and entrepreneurs connect with resources.

How Smokeless cookstove works?

Terraoak’s Genesys Cooker is a versatile, high-end smokeless cookstove that converts any fuel you put in into clean energy.

Meet Max Chinnah, the Nigerian Inventor of Smokeless Stove and CEO of Terraoak Inc

Adding Fuel to Genesys Cooker
It has a feature that uses an air injection system to control the smoke produced. This is done through a convection process which allows the heat to power your USB device after about 7 min of heating.

Genesys was built with a multipurpose frame so that you are not stuck with only having one cooktop. You can use all the normal cookware you would use in the kitchen.


Future Plans

Terraoak is in its first year of implementing a pilot program. It plans to distribute over 20,000 clean cookstoves in Ghana, Malawi and Gabon.

Currently, based on the level of early sales, Terraoak is working on an arrangement with the World Wide Fund for Nature to distribute 1,000 stoves to rural Kenyan farmers.

Pending the success of their Kickstarter, Terraoak already has a manufacturer ready to begin production as soon as it is completed.

Chinnah also noted that they are planning to collaborate with some government outlets for afforestation to finance more distribution of stoves locally.


Potential customers

Based on research, using Genesys Cooker is said to save a household $50-60 and Chinnah believes that there is a waiting market of 500 million households. He’s counting on the fact that customers will recognise that Genesys can save them thousands of dollars annually in fuel costs and electricity generation.

Sirjamo:
PDP Dundees cannot understand why Buhari is hell bent on building infrastructure. The only language they understand is share the money.

Honestly. All these projects are just baffling them.

They didn't do up to one-fifth of this.

kingsways:


It's common sense, everyone knows Technology is changing very fast

You can't tell me refineries built 40yrs ago are not obsolete

So you think all refineries built 40+ years ago around the world have all been demolished for being 'obsolete'?

Please, how old are you?

kingsways:
The government seems so daft they keep spending billions of Dollars on obsolete refineries

Are you a refinery engineer? How do you know the refineries are ''obsolete''?

At least we are spending money on useful things unlike Jonathan and co. Hushpuppi regime.

Nigeria Approves $15.4 Billion Refinery, Railway Projects

05/8/21

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-05/nigeria-approves-15-4-billion-refinery-railway-projects


Nigeria’s government approved major transport and energy investments, including a stake in a giant private refinery, that are expected to cost $15.4 billion.

Ministers in the West African nation signed off Wednesday on the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp.’s proposed purchase of a
$2.76 billion 20% stake in a refinery being built by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest person, for $12 billion.

They also agreed to the rehabilitation of two other NNPC-controlled refineries and the construction of a 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) railway.

The decisions were taken at a meeting of the Federal Executive Council and disclosed at a briefing. Further details weren’t provided.

The investments could help boost output in the nation, which has underinvested in infrastructure and where economic growth has lagged behind the pace of population expansion every year since Muhammadu Buhari came to power in 2015, leading to a decline in average income per capita.

The NNPC said in June that the African Export-Import Bank is raising a $1 billion loan to help the firm buy shares in Dangote’s 650,000 barrel-a-day complex near Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub. It’s unclear how the company intends to fund the rest of the acquisition, although one option could be through the supply of crude.

The FEC also authorized the NNPC’s plans to spend $1.48 billion on repairing and upgrading its refineries in the cities of Warri in southern Nigeria and Kaduna in the north, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Timipre Sylva said. The facilities, which aren’t operational, will be fully rehabilitated in 33 months, he said.

The NNPC has already started work on a $1.5 billion revamp of two refineries in the southeastern city of Port Harcourt.

The FEC gave its approval to a standard-gauge railway that will run from Lagos in the southwest of Nigeria to the city of Calabar in the southeast, said Information Minister Lai Mohammed. The contract, which is worth $11.2 billion, was awarded to state-owned China Civil Engineering Construction Corp. in 2014.

Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi said in June that the government is in talks with Standard Chartered Plc about arranging financing for the so-called “Coastal Line.” Nigeria had initially expected Chinese lenders to back the project.

Buhari told Nigeria’s National Assembly in 2017 that the state-owned Export-Import Bank of China was soon going to approve a $3.5 billion loan to help start construction.

Those who know how the world really works know that FFK is unto something there.

In fact the real surprise would be if there were no occult symbolisms in these world events, which are indeed controlled by clandestine forces.

Another surprise is why FFK would take the 'covid vaccine' if he knew these things. Or perhaps he's not fully schooled in how vast the conspiracy is.

Twistlord:
We too like to dey involve ourselves in things that has nothing to do with us

It has EVERYTHING to do with you.

This idea that only what happens in that tiny space of the Earth demarcated by colonialists as 'Nigeria' is all that should concern you, is seriously misguided.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER IPOB DEATH THREAT AGAINST IGBOS WHO 'DISAGREE' WITH THEM.

IS THIS THE TYPE OF GOVT IGBOS WANNA LIVE UNDER IN BIAFRA?

IT'S LIKE NAZI GERMANY.

DISGUSTING.

THEY'VE NOT EVEN ACQUIRED POWER YET, BUT ARE ALREADY DISPLAYING ALL THE HALLMARKS OF A BRUTAL, BARBARIC, INTOLERANT BANANA REPUBLIC DICTATORSHIP & BASKET-CASE.

SPIT.

GIVE ME THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ANYDAY OVER THIS..... PILE OF VOMIT.

FarahAideed:


That's the mistake you BMCs are making ..it's not about personal gain ...after you make 200 million dollars what next? How do you even enjoy the money ? With all the poverty , bad governance and insecurity around

If all you want to see in your head is ''poverty'', ''bad governance'' (whatever the hell that means), then that is ALL you will see.

Dangote, the richest black person on Earth, lives in LAGOS. He could choose to live in Beverly Hills or Monaco. But he chose LAGOS. So you can enjoy Nigeria and contribute to her development, whatever her problems.

BiafraInc:
Onyema, a product of the fulani corrupt nigeria..

Dumbo. Was Stella Oduah, who chopped the money for Enugu airport under PDP a Fulani?

What about Diezani Madueke or Ibori or Orji-Uzo Kalu?

Are they Fulanis?

Jonathan, who ran a corrupt administration, was he Fulani?

Dumbo, choke on your ethnic hate.

thinksense:
Is very unwise for our ppl to seek exit from Nigeria honestly.

It's tantamount to economic suicide for Nigeria's most entrepreneurial ethnicity.

cheruv:

All these other ethnicities that have used govt patronage to run Nigeria down
No wonder they're so pained seeing Igbos make it that they've now resorted to destruction of Igbo assets at the slightest whim

In case you've forgotten, Igbos and South-Southerners RAN THE COUNTRY and controlled BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in the years before Buhari.

You need to cure your selective memory that seeks to erase PDP's southern-based LOOTOCRACY from our consciousness.

FarahAideed:


So you consider corruption a business? The rest of you just steal from govt

You need to get out more. You clearly suffer from lack of exposure to other ethnicities.

Have you lived anywhere in Nigeria outside Igboland?

FarahAideed:
Igbos are actually the greatest beneficiaries of Nigeria 200 million population ..The only tribe in Nigeria exploiting it , the rest tribes are just loafer looking for free money to steal

What a bigot and ignoramus you are.

There are millions of Nigerians doing good business from ALL ethnicities.
