Go Green! Go Bio-Fuel!! My Healthy Cooking Experience!!!

     Hey people, so I have been using my biofuel and the kike cook stove for two straight weeks now and I can comfortably say, this is it! Way to go!! Going green!!! And it is time to get a dual burner, I was actually gifted the single burner stove.
     I loved shooting this story, no excuses, no "come today, come tomorrow", and the people working for the company? Excellent!
     So I did this story with Green Energy and Biofuels, a company owned by Femi Oye. They are into everything green for lighting and cooking purposes, but I focused on bio-fuel for cooking.
     This company creates affordable cooking biofuel from water hyacinth and sawdust, can you believe that? And you also get to use it with a very portable stove, that looks so much like a table top gas cooker. It also comes in a single or dual burner. The stoves are sold for between 2,000 to 4,000 naira, depending on the size you want, and a litre of the gel is sold for 98 naira. A litre burns for six whole hours.
     Colour "green" is synonymous with everything natural and healthy. For those who want to be healthy, they are advised to eat more "greens". For those who want to lose weight, they are also advised to do more "greens". And now that we know that most of the resources that we have will one day be exhausted, and also for the fact that we want generations to come to enjoy the things that we think we are enjoying now, its time for us to go GREEN.
     There are so many reasons why we need to actually go green but think of SAVINGS, you know, you reduce energy consumption and by reducing energy consumption, you also reduce energy bills. For HEALTH, it improves the air around you. And then for the ENVIRONMENT,  well, you can reduce the amount of waste you generate.
     The future is in converting waste to fuel, do you know how much the Lagos state government spends trying to clear the water ways from water hyacinth.

Peace people.

    The Stove and the Bio gel are the perfect alternative to Kerosene cooking stove and gas. I am enjoying it.

Putting Nigeria's locally made drinks on the map

Image
Nigeria just held its first International Drinks Festival were about 20,000 consumers and investors attended the three day event. Over 200 companies manufacturing various drinks exhibited their brands. The festival was organized to help put locally made drinks on the world map and see how investors can look into getting the drinks exported. From beautifully bottled palm wine to locally made gin and red wine, guests were allowed to have a taste of everything they wanted while deciding on what to buy. It was fun getting this story done. We filmed Ene Onwuka while she prepared Zobo, Kunu and Tiger nuts drink. Ene's drinks are sugar free, trust me, I was there from the beginning of her production until she bottled the last drink. No sugar whatsoever, just dates and honey to sweeten it. If you are pro health, then please reach me or google for her contact. She showcased at the festival. She is a banker and the founder of "Kunuski." Nigeria drinks 16 million hectolitres

Tiwa seeks to restore our forgotten folk-tale tradition

Image
If you are an 80's child like me and grew up watching Tales by Moonlight on NTA (Nigeria Television Authority) then you will understand why this story struck a chord when I first saw it.      As usual I was strolling on the streets of Instagram when I saw a post by @Lagoshousewife about this bear that tells African folk tales. Immediately, my child hood flashed before me.     You see, folk tales were traditionally an important learning tool before the introduction of formal education. Children will sit on the floor, surrounding either a parent or grand parent who told them stories about the tortoise or the dog, and these stories always ended with a moral lesson. Folk tales were used to pass knowledge from generation to generation.      However, even after formal education took the fore front, folk tales were still told to children but this is gradually waning and Nigerian entrepreneur Tola Akanbi decided to do something to help, he created Tiwa The Talking Bear, something

Rare Super Blood Moon By Midnight Today

Image
     We expect to see a bloody moon from midnight today, Sunday 28, 2015 between the hours of 12 midnight to 6am. The bloody moon, when it occurs will last for about an hour. A bloody moon occurs because the moon is very close to the earth, making it extremely bright. According to NASA this has only happened five times since 1900, the last one was in 1982, and the next one will be in 2033.      Everything has been tied around this bloody moon, from it being the end of the world, to volcanoes erupting, to earthquakes and all of that. In fact I just read on christian.com that in the US state of Utah, people are already stock piling on dried foods and emergency stuff. They are so convinced something will happen. The world had ended so many times in the past, yet these end time propagators don't just stop, they just find a new date and continue.
