It was rightly said that necessity is always the mother of all inventions and creativity is the father of all civilization and for a nation to grow into becoming a great nation it must learn the act to invent and also to create but most nation of this present time and age fail because of discrimination, thereby making such nation not to practice the act to love other smaller nations which eventually brings and gives room for their actions and ways of life to begin to fear the unknown.
But according to the African traditions, it is mandatory for a king to practice not just one single religion this is because love for one line of worship depending on the way you look at this only brings and gives room for discrimination and not giving room for the right sense of judgment and even every earthly king knows that misjudgment is a sin to the creator of the heaven and earth the master of the universe, the KING of yesterday, today and forevermore and He also knows that no one is entitled to inflict pain on others by his wrong decisions.
Maybe that was why Solomon recorded in the holy books, he asked God for wisdom to rule his people because he knew that wisdom is the only instrument one can use in conquering any obstacle in life and he will not still go astray from making the right presidential decision, because as a king, various kind of people will come for different reasons even witches, wizard and even smaller gods will come for the structure and how the king's kingdom will not affect their own people and followers.
Before I proceed, I would love to refresh myself with a glass of clean fresh water; believe me, potable water is the only liquid mineral that brings life to the human body and here I say Happy 2019 world water day.
Africans are bless in so many ways beyond what Africans can compare, but one of the major problem most of them are facing is not believing in them self, lack of contentment and not loving one another which has created a vacuum of hatred that has transform rebels into freedom fighters and a freedom fighter into a rebel, celebrating criminals instead of heroes and an internet fraud star viewing his future becoming brighter than a degree holders, masters or even a doctorate and all this can be found in this present day and age and this should not be so.
Nigeria is one of the problems of Africa because if Nigeria can get it right every other smaller countries in the Africa continent will naturally follow its lead because this will transform stability to the west African region and maybe youths in this region will not have to see the need of risking their life's on desert road to country like Libya or selling them self for other nation economic war but all this can be totally abolished, youths sees such ventures as something to be buried but this can be achieved by only creating a conducive environment and this goes way beyond just discriminating one another, fighting or praying and looking for another man's downfall. It is by achieving a system that works and ways to make things work but who knows if Nigeria's major financial resources should be concentrated on electric energy, maybe things would change for good.
That is why my write up for this year 2019 after my two years natural compulsory break will be on a renovating invention which is been used worldwide and this invention is a water desalination and power desalination plant and how this renovating invention partnership could tune out because there are currently around 15000 desalination plant world wide according to international renewable energy agency and most use either membranes, high-temperature evaporation techniques or low-temperature desalination plants (LTD) plants but LTD plants are still rare and process uses more energy than is necessary to desalinate water but regardless of which method is determined to be the most energy efficient, water desalination and power desalination is the future of water and the game changer of the way we drink water and power cities around such plants that is why I will be given a brief explanation on how water desalination and power desalination works.
Water desalination is the process of which salty ocean water or unclean river water is been process for domestic and industrial use and power desalination plant is a innovative solution that is been run on a gas turbine power system that also supply electricity to the water desalination plant and it also helps in the supply of electric power to provide stable power supply around itself but above all the illustration of the schematic of the combined power-desalination system for simultaneous generation for electric power and fresh water, the power generation cycle includes boiler, steam turbine that produces the electric energy and the thermal energy, but all part of cogeneration system are always modeled and simulated to evaluate performance of the combined systems, making this renovating invention to be adopted by countries in the middle east and country in southern Africa and east part of Africa to consider picking up the investment plan of constructing a better water desalination system than that of Algeria, nations like Israel to rely heavily on water desalination as it's source of clean water and also country like U.A.E to still keep dreaming of investing more in the combination of water and power desalination plants, embracing the system of one stone killing two birds, working side-by-side power and water desalination plant , working together to efficiently utilize resources and creating potable water and also powering it city's, a kind of system that is useful for places that are in need of power but don't have access to clean water, open to future cheaper invention where thermal desalination or simplify ways to generate electric power where water and power would have to be located separately. But on the other hand, the cost that is required to set up such plants are a bit on the high side, but regardless the cost renewable hydropower generated from desalination plant would bring economic and environmental benefits to our developing cities in Africa because relying on hydropower dams for major electricity supply would not end the scarcity of electric power or heavy cost of extra mitigation measures such as building new dams but also having in mind that water desalination without a power desalination to me is a wasteful funding project in Africa because electric energy to run the water desalination without constant power supply is the problem and running plants on fuel creates more green house gas, which contribute to environmental problem at the long run.
Please don't get me wrong. Construction of hydropower dams are good because it would help greatly for the federal agricultural projects but power and water desalination plant would help to actualize a sustaining restructure system that every states would be self dependent regardless its location, that it would also be able to power it self from darkness and also uniformly create job opportunities.
But above all WHO KNOWS if every water works in every major state is been upgraded to a power and water desalination system that its water intake will not necessary have to be concentrated sea water but lightly salty water or unclean river that it would use less energy and produce less brine.
And WHO KNOWS if every major polytechnic would be upgraded to an advanced technology institute that all it major staffs would be professionals that will accommodate, monitor and produce workers that would eventually work and manage this project, maybe all of this will end poverty, eliminate darkness in every house hold, generate financial income for every location, help in actualizing the dream of the association of borehole drillers of Nigeria (BODE) in totally ending unprofessional in drilling of water wells, help in solving security problems and it may also end the way the youth look at themselves as a lazy and wasted generation because it was rightly said that opportunity is the only antidote to poverty and I strongly believe that electricity and an advanced technological institutes is the opportunity Africans really need.
Just food for thought!!!
