GOING GREEN IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY

Going green doesnt mean you have to stop showering, stop shaving, sell your car, read by candlelight and chain yourself to a tree to protest logging.

To me, it means trying in one way or the other to save our planet.

One 'goes green ' by educating oneself and making small changes everyday. It sounds simple but its quite challenging.

Although some of us have been living a bit 'green ' and we dont know it. From keeping shopping bags to re using that fancy bag , we have all contributed a bit to saving mother earth.

Do you know that there are mini solar panels sold in Nigeria that can give you hot or cold water at home or offices? Yes there are.

The following are some of the ways to 'go green:

- Recycle, re-use  paper bags/shopping bags

- Keep electronics out of trash.Donate or recycle them.

- Wear clothes that do not need to be drycleaned.It saves money and cut down on toxic chemical use.

-  Invest in high quality , longlasting products. You might pay more now, but you;ll be happy when you dont have to replace items as frequently. This means less waste

-. Use the recycle bins placed at designated spots to drop bottles.

- Take short showers or with someone. It saves water.

- Use Drying racks or clothesline.

-  If you are going to use washing machine or dishwasher, make sure its full before  running. This will help to save water.

- Turn off lights when leaving a room.

-.Unplug appliances when not in use.

-Used water satchets can be dumped at designated spots or traded at paper making  factories. This will help save a tree and the environment. 

-. Lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks & bike lanes. This will help you save fuel while you walk or take a bike to work.

You may not be able to replenish the earth on your own but small things like the above and more counts. Spread the word!.

 

 

 

 

WINDOWS 8

Microsoft. The software pioneer has ceded a lot of ground since the halcyon '90s when it was synonymous with personal computing. 

Over the last decade, an insurgent Google and reborn Apple have wrested the spotlight from the ubiquitous giant, establishing themselves as must-watch hotbeds of agenda-setting innovation.

But despite its current reputation for spending more time behind the curve than in front of it, the house Bill Gates built has never truly had an ideas problem. 

The Redmond, Washington-based company and its Research division have always attracted first-rate engineering and creative talent from around the world. windows.microsoft.com

Some will say ,Microsoft's  problem is delivery ;  others will argue its  execution.  

Whats your take on this software giant?   Xbox Live, Bing?  

Last year, Microsoft released a beta preview for its latest OS, Windows 8, which left many in awe with its sleek interface and multi-platform support. Boasting a number of sweet new upgrades, not only is it an essential for all PC users, it could also serve as Android and Apple’s biggest threat once unleashed on the tablet market. Thanks to complextech for the info.

The new Windows is now available with the public launch on October 25th, 2012.

SILVER LINING OF HIS CONSTITUENCY

Honourable Saheed Akinade Fijabi has been representing the good people of Ibadan Southwest/Northwest Federal Constituency in so many uplifting ways. Though still ongoing, Honourable Fijabi's mark in his constituency is quite commendable.

From the Multi-Million Naira library building at Eleyele high school, public toilets, transformers for three communities, motorized boreholes, visits to orphanages and flood victims to mention but a few, Honourable Fijabi is indeed the silver lining the constituency has longed for.

If you or anyone you know (youth) are from the lovely Ibadan southwest/ northwest region and you have done something commendable to your community in the last one year without aid from the government, please send us an e-mail at fabproducts@hotmail.com, the Honourable will personally like to commend you.

Also, if you have pending/untouched issues in your community that needs to be addressed , send us an e-mail.

PLEASE BE AS PRECISE AS POSSIBLE.

 

SECURITY OFFICER a.k.a. PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR?

A security guard or security officer is responsible for deterring criminal activity such as theft or vandalism at any given place,area or jurisdiction as some of you may call it.

However, the average salary for a security guard is not enough to sustain some. This subsequently makes some give extra attention to known faces or known 'tippers'.

The above thus results in poor service in that particular place,be it fast food joint,hotel,blue chip companies.

Heard on the radio on my way to work how a lady visited a grocery shop,and met some guys trying to open the SUVs in the parking area with a master key.

According to her, the security guards were not far from there but were looking else where.

Maybe they were busy 'over greeting' customers or hailing known faces for something to drop. Maybe,...Hmmm.

For a prospect and/or client to be loyal,Good quality service should not stop. It starts from outside, continues inside and outside. Just saying.

iPAD 2 Vs iPAD 3

Ipad series is becoming really famous in this modern era. Apple lovers always wait for new inventions from this company.

Most people still prefer Ipad 1 but faithfull Apple lovers make it a must to get either Ipad 2 or ipad 3.

When ipad one was released in  the market , in 2010 14.8million Ipad were sold. Then , ipad 2 was launched in March 2011 and 15million ipad 2 were sold. Apple won the trust of its customer and did not stop their excitement. They launched the new ipad with a number of new modifications.

The following are some of the differences between iPad 2 and the new iPad 3.

1.PRICE: Ofcourse, the price plays a key rolen in buying anything but there’s a minor difference in price between iPad 2 and iPad 3. Though the price varies according to memory option.

2.POWER CONSUMPTION:  iPad 2 energy consumption is dependent on the idle display on, power adapter-no load, power adapter efficiency and mode components as to sleep. But the iPad 3 power consumption is based on the reviews, which is lower than the iPad2.

3. DIMENSIONS: If we compare iPad 2 with iPad 3 with its dimensions then it is observed that the iPad 2 is thinner than iPad 3. The thickness of iPad 2 is 0.346 inches (8.8mm) and of iPad 3 is 0.37 inches (9.4mm).

4.PROCESSOR: Processor is also improved in iPad 3. It is a good change to improve the working of iPad. iPad 2 has 1 GHZ, dual core Apple A5 on a chip but in iPad3 it is improved as in dual core A5X system on a chip.

HUMAN HAIR INVASION!

Brazillian,Peruvian,Indian Hair, the list goes on. I didn't know that most of these so called human hair came from humans until I watched Chris Rock's Good Hair.
I used to think they were called human hair because of the human like texture.
Over 70% of girls nowadays own two or more human hair,which costs a lot of money. Though on the othe hand it is also a form of business to some who engage in selling these amazing hairpieces. Also, sales and use of these human hair has automatically increased d number of Hair Serums in the economy.(Topic for another day).

What amazes me though, is when I c a Lady at the busstop with hair worth over 100 thousand clutching more than 3 phones , waiting to take Danfo(commercial bus). Girl! Get a golf atleast.

What's your take on human hair? Which one(s) do you have and prefer?

LINEAGE OF THE TRANSFORMER

The Transformer!!

Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) is a descendant of the patriarch of the Fashola family, Alfa Bello Fashola of Princess Street in Isale Gangan, Lagos. On the Fashola family tree, he is the great-great grandson of Bello Fashola, a philanthropist and a very close friend of Esugbayi Eleko, who contributed morally and financially to the struggle to return Esugbayi Eleko to Lagos after the Oba's banishment from his kingdom by the then colonial government. Bello Fashola had 137 children with Tiamiyu Bashorun Fashola as the eldest child. The direct linkage is as follows: Bello Fashola begat Tiamiyu Fashola, who begat Raji Olayinka Fashola, who begat Ademola Fashola who begat Babatunde Raji Fashola.

He is also linked to Isale Eko through his paternal grandmother who is a direct descendant of the Shomade/Bashua family of Obun Eko and Suenu chieftaincy family house. His paternal great, great grandmother was Jarinatu Okunnu from Isale Eko Onilegbe family whilst his maternal great grandmother is from Idumagbo Isale Eko of the Suenu Chieftaincy family.

BEVERAGES WE LOVE

A little over 60% of Nigerians gave their children 0valtine during the 80s.That creamy yet cocoa filled taste...Hmmm.

And then, suddenly we were all taking more of Milo and Bournvita. Bournvita has gone through a lot of Rebranding though.Some people took Horlicks and the likes too. 

 I take Milo almost every morning at work with my Hollandia milk(addicted to this milk-topic for another day), and some nights, very cold Ovaltine.

 My mum loves Ovaltine though. 

 Some people don't even take none of the above mentioned , because according to them, it makes them fat. Darling, a cup of hot or cold beverage with enough exercise and good portion eating diet will make u stronger and still loose some weight.

 I know of people who have changed from one to the other and can't go back to drinking the one they used to. Yet some of us just stick to one. 

 What's your favourite? Why? 

ESSENTIAL ENHANCERS/PADS

Butt Pads, Enhancers, Bulge enhancer(for men obviously), Breast pads help give your butt, breast or bulge that cushion effect.

Butt pads come in different sizes and shapes.For ladies with frying pan bum like mine or the wide yet chinese looking ones, you can make that dress,skirt or even swimsuit look curvier and fuller.

The breast pads are cool too.Some brassieres come with removable pads or silicone sac.You can get the removable ones and change or stuff as you like.

The butt pads and hip ones feel just like normal undies.You can even wear the two together.Just remove the pads for the hips, insert on your sides after wearing the butt pads.Plus you don't have to worry about your date or colleagues knowing when you hug,because it feels soft and natural.

Two of my cousin's friends sell The Butt and Hip pads at N2000 and N2500 respectively.

Okay, the Bulge Enhancers!,is a front pad that can increase your bulge from 1-2 inches and is as the name suggests, a shocking increase. Some Male models use it during competitions.

Even if you're not a model, say you have a pool party or you are an actor or musician and you have a video to shoot and u're not "packing", you can enhance your looks.

I remember that Bond movie where Daniel Craig came out of the water looking all yummy!...*sigh
