Energy, Power and Katika


Energy, Power And Katika
In April this year, Uberfacts was on blast for saying and I quote, “It is estimated that the entire power supply of Nigeria generates only enough electricity to power a single toaster for every 44 people.” Over exaggerated, Yes but here is another fact about Nigeria’s current power situation. On the 22nd of February this year, Thisday Live reported that Nigeria’s total estimated power supply comes to about 5,500mw that is for the 183,523,432 million of us to share.

Undoubtedly the power capacity generated in Nigeria is barely enough to run a small scale business effectively not to talk of huge multi-national companies and therefore leading to the unbelievable dependence on Generations and enormous expenses on Fuel in all forms. Nigerians consume way above 33million litres of fuel daily and let’s not get started on the cost.

Electricity is and would continue to be a major catalyst for the growth of any economy and a successful stabilisation of power would ultimately improve the lives of millions of Nigerians. Earlier this year in May, the bite of fuel scarcity brought Nigeria’s economy to a standstill as banks like GTB, telecommunication companies like MTN, Airlines like Arik all shut down as fuel marketers went on strike. This begs the question “for how long will Nigerian’s major power supply be dependent on fuel?”

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the future of the world in term of power generation and supply: Renewable Energy.  Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels. At least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20% of energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond (Wikipedia). 

Katika Energy Limited is a 100% Nigerian owned company that delivers innovative renewable solutions for the African region with the drive to develop and grow Africa’s renewable energy market. Our vision is to support the development of sustainable power supply by filling the vacuum of renewable energy in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. In other words, we aim to provide power supply at all levels (cooperate, government and individual levels) for as long as possible at minimal cost thereby leading to long term savings.

Our product quality is unquestionable as they are General Electric products (UPS, Inverters, batteries, solar PV, lightening bulbs). Also our services range from Energy Consultancy, Project Development & Services, Micro Finance Project Development, Research & Development and Tele Communication.

The Buharis, Female Gender And The Hypocrisy of Nigerians

Image
I woke up this morning with the radio loud in my ears, "she belongs to my kitchen, the living room and the other room" and am like "ohhhh am tired of this, please can we move on to something else please?". This is becoming annoying as there are heavier matters like the economy.  Although I can't deny there are positives to the Buharis Saga. Suddenly my people (Nigerian Men and Africans) realised that women are not just sexual objects and their maids. It took President Buhari for that to sink in, wow that's impressive. It is the HYPOCRISY that beats me. Same male gender who says "this is Nigeria, this is Africa and not the western world, my wife must cook alakat for me, my wife must not work, she will stay at home, she should look for a handwork, open shop, go and teacher, etcetera" (so that she can be at their berk and call). Same ones. Please note no disrespect to the women concerned with the above chosen field of life, but  if you are a m...

Dates And Bills

Image
This conversation has been ongoing for days somewhere on instagram and am pretty fascinated. Males and females have been on each other's throat.  The men first started calling Nigerian women out for always wanting and taking from men and never contributing to dates. They have on many occasions called Nigerian women desperate, gluttons and covetous as they only want men to spend on them/pay all their bills, emphasis was laid on dates. They say women never pay on dates. The women also spoke up and defended themselves as some blatantly see nothing wrong with the guy to pay on dates and taking care of their lady's bills while other gave instances where they had taken care of everything and still the men cheated or was violent towards them and still left. They also argued that why will a guy ask to take them out and insist they pay. I got interested in the date talk because well am single *wink* plus it really fascinating to watch the back and forth and as usual I have op...

Genotype and Marriage

Image
Hello MEB readers, a very happy Sunday to everyone. Hope you are having a restful evening. Now this genotype issue has been in my thoughts. (I know you think it's about me. Nah not at all,  I just have roaming thoughts a lot and often wonder what others think about certain societal issues) I think every time I write, people raise eyebrows in my corner. *smiles* Now medically it is adviceable that an AS carrier should not marry another AS carrier for the fear of producing an SS (sickle cell anemia)  child.  It is said that the couple has 25% probability of having an SS child or children. I.e for every 4 children they have atleast one will be SS. Which is not absolute because the 25% can show up on all the offsprings.  Over the years, there has been different suggested solutions from medical professionals. There is the artificial insemination (IVF And PGD Pre-Implantation Genotype Diagnosis) where the embryo is screened and those free of SS genotype will b...
