Trumping Trump and Lessons

Here, when an opportunity to serve as a leader of either a small group of friends, in an association, committee, political, academic or even religious positions.. you dare not say it out if you are interested. people tag you as proud or just too forward. Even if you knew you have the capabilities to move that unit forward..you have to let someone nominate you or you go arrange behind doors how you would be nominated... this had made many drivers of our community shuttles to be passengers in the back shuttle's back seat. We even have the culture of nominating people who clearly say they are not interested (although many are..but have to say that so as not to look proud or too willing.. seriously!) This singular culture of not allowing whoever is capable and willing to lead is killing us and will continue as long as we appoint people based on nepotism... It's not right.. once you have an open opportunity.. ask who is interested and if you choose anyone and the fellow says no.....

Lessons from Africa: who is doing who? A case of coal neglect in Nigeria

While South Afica's SASOL boast of a world class edgecutting technology used for producing petrol (PMS) from coal at a competitive price per litre. Do you know that Nigeria currently import coals of various grades and qualities. But Nigeria has a large coal deposit with the potential for coal exports to countries such as China, Israel, Japan, Ghana, United States, Europe and India. Currently Nigeria's coal can achieve the following clear coal technologies with increased efficiency and reduced CO emissions 1. Magneto hydrodynamic electricity generation 2. Super critical boiler 3. Integrated gasification combined cycle systems 4. Advanced integrated gasification, including fuel cell 5. Advanced pulverized and pressurized pulverized fuel combustion 6. Atmospheric fluidised bed combustion and pressurized pulverized fuel combustion.

Decision analysis of petrol (PMS) subsidy in Nigeria

SYSTEMS APPROACH TO THE SUBSIDY REMOVAL... "Decision suggetions" and implication in 2016 The problem in Petrol can be modeled as- "TRAGEDY of COMMONS" - Agents use common limited resource to profit individually. As the use of the resource is not controlled, the agents would like to continuously raise their benefits. The resource is therefore used more and more and the revenues of the agents are decreasing. The agents are intensifying their exploitation until the resource is completely used up or seriously damaged. #The previous government's approach to oil problems however can be modeled as- "FIXES THAT FAIL" - The problem approached by some fix (a specific solution- "subsidy") with immediate positive effect. Nonetheless, the “side effects” of this solution turn out in the future to corruption and depletion of reserve. However, as Nigerians who have seen alot and are going through pains and hardships #What WE Like can be modeled as- ...
