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. 

T-B: (1) Mr. Emmanuel holding 'The Light Box' and (2) 'The Light Box' in charging mode.

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

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....

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.

A Nigerian student, Jeffrey Etaghara, invents THE CO2 EXPELLER, a green solution to environmental degradation.

pls, take a good note of 5:32 onwards... THE CO2 EXPELLER, a green solution to environmental degradation. As a Technology Developer, i continue to advocate for a gr8 support for inventors n innovators in the 3rd world. this, 1 small global village wld b d better for it. Now, who's going to step up 2d plate n invest in Scientists like Jeffrey Etaghara, Stella Osemeke & Shaka Beatrice?

A country like Nigeria has to innovate/invent or perish... wot path r we going to choose? May Nigeria b a producing society. We r eager to see Technology Industries everywhere…

Technology Incubation Centers should b established n allowed to thrive in every city...

Orivoh Victor we had some years back and i wonder how effective they were? I think what govt need to do is create a conducive atmosphere and let the private sectors take over from there, Sorry, i dont trust govt with such projects, they will use it as an avenue to drain the economy.

Karo Kanye Akamune ‎@Victor: am looking for a way to work around govt - not even waiting for "them" to create a conducive atmosphere. how can i create 1, myself? it wld b nice for "them" to act n act well. but we have been waiting for "them" for too long... how can we work, take action steps - "govt or no govt" (w/ or w/out govt)...

i think d TICs r still there. we have one in Warri. i spent some valuable time there in '07/'08 in my bid to promoting Science n Technology... i think the Nigerian masses need to be sensitized of the gr8 need for Nigerians themselves 2b directly involved in inventions/innovation NOW... YES, we shd put pressure on d govt. we shd also put pressure on ourselves... e.g. we have rich ppl who don't know wot to do w/ their money... Let's educate dem - they can invest in research, in inventions... in TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURS. Thanks, bros!

2 Nigerian students invent a generator that doesn’t use fuel...

Excerpts: “According to them, the generator does not emit any toxic waste neither is it a threat to human health.
They said, "We used magnetic flux to generate electricity which the conventional magnet cannot. It consists of a shaf fixed with eight neodymium magnets, which rotates when an initial current is passed through the field coils. The electricity is then passed from the copper coil to a step-up transformer which steps up the power voltage from 32 volts to 200 volts to power the output of the generator."
Speaking on their motivation for the project, the 15-year-old Adebayo and Adewale who is 14 years old said the JETS club afforded them a vantage avenue to think, analyse and work on scientific research.”

Karo Kanye Akamune A testimony to d idea of getting grassroots involved in Science n Technology. i work w/ n have faith in JETS Club (JUNIOR ENGINEERS, TECHNICIANS & SCIENTISTS) in Nigerian Secondary Schools...

Lucky Okome make them no kill them oooooo because the people wey be god father for electricity no go gree .

Gaw Ako hw dat one take happen pls xplain karo

Karo Kanye Akamune these so-called "electricity godfathers"... they shd b encouraged to invest in better technologies... besides, they r not GOD ALMIGHTY. they surely can be dealt with. Nigerians must learn to be bold n fight fearlessly. no one will fight ur fight for u...

Karo Kanye Akamune ‎@Gaw: d web link of d news is on my wall...

Valentine Iriketoma ‎@Gaw, why u nor believe?

Gaw Ako i blive Val... wanted karo to shw me d link
