MAN Is Right, No Nuclear Option in Nigeria. The Nation Is Not Ready for Nuclear Power

By

The push by Manufacturers Association of Nigeria  (MAN) to ask the federal government to forget the idea of nuclear option is commendable. This is the right direction for our nation. The country should just focus on gas or other alternatives.

The country is not advanced to the level of managing nuclear challenges. Let us not just fry ourselves one day and destroy a beautiful nation we have got.  This makes sense as if we cannot manage dams; I do not think we can manage reactors. It is that simple.

MAN has said it all:

“MAN supports the use of gas which we have in abundance. The Federal Government can then look at other resources like solar, hydro, wind, among others which are also in abundance,”

Let the FG listen and please do not install any nuclear plant in Nigeria. No and never. We are better off without light than wiping a whole village one evening because one man has taken ogogoro and pushed ON instead of OFF. Or he just got annoyed that Super Eagles lost a World Cup match and decides to end Nigeria. Bad things happen when those lights go off after Super Eagles loses a match. You better not give them the opportunity to end it for all.

That Telematic Car – Toyota and Microsoft, Could Work for Benin Aba – Owerri Road

Google is winning on search. Facebook has already opened another era in human history with some folks writing 2011 FB. That is 2011 in the era of Facebook. Yes, that is a fad. Facebook will go away like a vapor and another kid will make us forget it if we just live much more longer. And we will! Period!

The topic today is that Microsoft wants to be inside your car. Sure, it will not reboot the car. Just be inside it. No GPS, seems like telematics. This is evolving with Toyota and Microsoft forming an alliance.

The transcript is very long and people, but the summary is that they are pulling money together to win few things that remain to be won. Infotainment and connectivity  in cars.

Toyota will give its Hybrid brand in the 2012 a makeover with all the energy management good stuffs.

The partnership takes the form of a ¥1 billion (~$12m) investment in Toyota’s “Media Service” R&D division. Services will roll out next year, but the full system is planned for a 2015 roll-out.

If they do it really well, we could be moving to minds controlling cars. You can just sleep in your car while you drive those pot holes in Aba – Owerri roads. If it is not telematics, it makes no sense because most stuffs have been done in cars, just linking people with their cars remain – at least with the knowledge we have now.

Of course, you will see these new cars in Abuja and your countrymen will order the first test vehicles when they are ready. That is why we are Naija. Bring it on – technology.

If it is Facebook, makes sense. Google, sure. Myspace, ok. But Microsoft? Maybe the Office was the reason Gaddafi wrote that terrible error-everywhere letter. Got to have a reason. Oh no, the detention happened before the letter went public though.

Microsoft’s country manager in Libya, Khalid Elhasumi, has been held in custody by Libyan authorities in Tripoli since the evening of Saturday, March 19th.

Helping our Region Thrive & Grow

Microsoft’s country manager in Libya, Khalid Elhasumi, has been held in custody by Libyan authorities in Tripoli since the evening of Saturday, March 19th.

Over the last two weeks Microsoft has been working with Khalid’s family and international organizations to help get Khalid released. We continue our efforts to ensure his safety and soonest possible release. We currently have no information about the reasons for his detention.

Khalid Elhasumi joined Microsoft in 2010. He manages Microsoft’s operations in Libya which opened in 2006.

“We are hopeful that the authorities will release Khalid soon”, says Ali Faramawy, Vice President Microsoft Middle East and Africa. “We are in close touch with his family and are actively working to provide support and ensure his safety.”

The Federal Government is close to securing a World Bank Partial Risk Guarantee for the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc, which will assure investors in power generating plants that they will always be paid for power supplied to the distribution companies.

The Nigerian Communications Commission has said it has developed guidelines to curb the menace of unsolicited messages, mails and calls.

Loss of valuable information and data experienced by corporate organisations in Nigeria mainly arising from security threats of their networks may soon come to an end as Juniper Networks, a service solution provider of Google, face book and American online (AOL) has begun business in Nigeria.

The number of mobile telecommunications operators supporting  the Global System for Mobile Telecommunications Association’s (GSMA) Mobile Energy Efficiency (MEE) Network Benchmarking Service launched last year, which was meant to manage 150 networks across 100 countries, including Nigeria has increased to 20.
