Natural Resources



Natural resources (for example, liquid and solid mineral resources) should be converted to man-made goods and services in a reasonable, systematic and sustainable manner. We cannot and should not continue to merely export raw materials to the rest of the world. To major in the export of raw materials is an outright disservice to humanity and an insult on our intelligence and creative abilities.

Inventions and innovations in Science and Technology play a very, very big role here. The conversion of natural resources to useful man-made goods and services promotes outstanding creativity. Also, these goods and services would be a major income earner and a massive job creator. At the end of the day, we will witness peace and prosperity; a higher standard of living and a greatly improved quality of life of the people.

New Design for the Mgbanwe C12, our Waste-to-Wealth Machine

From our lab at Creative E. Machines, #Nigeria: New design for the Mgbanwe C12 and a new introduction, the Mgbanwe C12b.

The waste-to-wealth machine is a machine that turns non-biodegradable wastes or solid hydrocarbon related material wastes like plastic, nylon, cellophane bags, etc into oil (gasoline) and paraffin which when further processed, yield petrol, kerosene, diesel and some other heavy oils. It does all these without any form of chemical additives. The residual slugs or liquid waste generated after the whole process is converted into good quality interlocking stones. 

Mgbanwe C12 has the capacity of producing 1 to 3 liters of gasoline from about 1 kg of waste at a go and can produce more with continuous feeds. With the Mgbanwe C12b, the focus is on interlocking stones (bricks) only. Get yours today for ₦1.5M ($4,200 USD) each. Thank you.

Innovations in Electricity and Going-Green - 3 Examples

A Nigerian, Emmanuel Obayagbona develops a 12-hour renewable rechargeable solar emergency lighting system. Creative and inventive minds in ‪#‎Africa‬ should be identified, supported and celebrated.

Another Nigerian, Emeka Nelson creates an electricity generator that is powered by water (Hydroelectric Generator). He also invented what he calls the "MGBANWE C12", a machine that turns non-biodegradable wastes like plastics, waterproof nylon, etc into petrol, kerosene, diesel and some other heavy oils and interlocking stones. In the pictures: Top-Bottom: the Hydroelectric Generator and MGBANWE C12.










Creative and inventive minds in Africa should be identified, supported and celebrated. Instead of marrying a 3rd wife or building a 4th house you would hardly ever sleep in, invest that money in people like Emeka Nelson and Emmanuel Obayagbona. African "angel investors" must arise!
You may not have money to invest. But you can share this post. You can spread the message in different ways. You can petition your elected officials to do more in ensuring the growth of the Science & Technology sector of the economy. Always remember, a country that does not produce man-made goods and services will always lag behind. Choose prosperity today! And WORK for it!

= = = 

Let us encourage them. Please, share this post. Crowdfunding is another way to support Scientific and Technological inventions and innovations in Nigeria and around the world. Good people, let's go! #Unity #Faith #Peace #Progress

Tech Nuggets

"There are two reasons people are taking a look at quantum computing. One is its power, but the other is that the size of silicon transistors are shrinking to the point where quantum effects are becoming important." - Stephanie Simmons
"Technology is very, very essential to process goods from the raw stage to finished goods, to enhance the market value for either domestic use or as a foreign exchange earner. What are we, in the "Developing World", doing to create Technology Industries?" – Karo E.K.D. Akamune

No Excuse


Some people give all kinds of excuses for not being creative, inventive or innovative. ...like: "I don't have time to think; to invent or innovate. I'm struggling to make ends meet." And my reaction is, "But I thought NECESSITY is the mother of invention! You are in a, "NECESSITY STATE" - all the more reason to create, invent, innovate, "THINK DIFFERENT" and add value to lives, generate great income, etc." 

...and there are those who are not even in a dire, "NECESSITY STATE" and would not tap into their creative imagination. This, really, is what makes the difference between rich countries and poor countries. This is one of the key elements that sets countries apart - the successful ones from the failing ones…

Technology Sees The Power of Pee!

The value of Pee (I said Pee not Pi! LOL!!). Four (4) teenaged girls in Lagos, Nigeria use URINE (Pee) to power a GENERATOR - to supply electricity....

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqKuYesiUJ4

If the Nigerian government, companies and individuals can shower MILLIO₦$ on the Super Eagles football players, they sure can do same for inventors. The footballers won gold at the just concluded African Nations Cup, 2013. They were showered with MILLIO₦$; and that's fine. However, how many jobs would be created as a result? If it's ok to shower them with millions of Naira, Dollars or whatever, how much more should we be doing for our Scientists, Inventors, et al? These inventors have the potential of creating millions of JOBS - with the right enabling environment, moral, spiritual and financial support. Stop and think, for a minute.

Why can't Nigeria harness and develop her natural resources??

Nigeria is blessed w/ natural resources: crude oil, gold, diamond, silicon, etc, etc. But is Nigeria blessed w/ d intelligence, discipline, and organization needed to harness and transform these raw materials to finished goods?

"YES, we have gold, silver, crude oil, silicon, etc, etc. What if the WEST leaves Nigeria, takes away all her tools, equipments, machines, computers, technocrats, technologies... What will then happen to those "natural resources"? What do u think Nigeria wld do? What wld d citizens of Nigeria do?" FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

y can't Nigeria harness and develop her natural resources - from raw goods to finished goods? y is Nigeria not investing time and money in home-grown intellectual property, inventions, Science & Tech Industries, etc... y is Nigeria not building the tools, machines, and equipments needed to process the raw materials to finished goods?

y is Nigeria not excelling in technology? y rely on d WEST or d EAST to come do all these things for us? Besides, when they turn around and rip us off, we open our mouths and begin to complain... Where r our OWN home-grown research institutes?? Are they competitive globally?? What is the problem with us??

A major reason y Nigerian professionals excel abroad BUT fail to replicate same in their country is this: DISUNITY... and i may add: TRIBALISM... NEPOTISM... They may excel individually and work well w/ foreigners abroad... But bring these same ppl under 1 umbrella and u begin to hear stories. And we r 'cursed' w/ visionless leaders who r not interested in funding RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT in Science & Tech!

We don't have a "prevailing culture" that encourages and celebrates scientific and technological inventions. Hmmm... Very important!

Also, without apologies (and speaking soberly), i think Nigerians r not pushing themselves enough to tap into their God-given creative imaginations when it comes to inventions and innovations in Science & Tech... d % that does is just too, too low...

And we r 'cursed' w/ visionless leaders who r not interested in funding RESEARCH in Science & Tech!

To Progress!
