IHEDIOHA REMAINS THE PEOPLES' CHOICE

 IHEDIOHA: THE MANDATE IS OURS

Davi-flash.blogspot.com

On January 14, 2020, a sacrilege happened in Imo state. The mandate which Imo people had overwhelmingly offered the Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha at the polls to be their Governor was stolen through a judicial coup. It was something very bizarre, an occurrence deeply abhorrent and abominable. It was a happenstance that rolled back Nigeria's democratic progress and stained an entire page in the country's judicial diary. It is now two years since that veil of darkness was placed upon Imo state. And this moment remains, to be clear, a bitter episode in the history of Imo state.

It is pertinent to highlight, however, that January 14 is not about Ihedioha or the PDP. It is, most importantly, about you and me. It is about us, Imo people. It is about our sacred and inalienable right to choose who should govern us. The stolen mandate is ours; it is mine and it is yours! By that infamy of January 14, our right was denied and our pride and prestige thrown to the dogs. We were seen as a conquered people by some overlords, and the devastations and woes being wrought upon us today by Chief Hope Uzodinma seem to confirm that he is only consolidating a conquest over a territory of serfs. January 14 is therefore  about our aspiration as a people for a better Imo, brimming with limitless possibilities, which has now been abbreviated.

The dreams held in the hearts of Imo people in the buildup to the 2019 elections were enormous. We saw the dreams in all the professional bodies and socio-cultural groups in the state which came together under the Amalgamation of Imo Professional Bodies and Associations and drew up a template for choosing who would be Governor of Imo state in 2019. By their metrics and criteria, Ihedioha was the best. They all chose Ihedioha. Today, the dreams have been aborted in the most horrible way. That stolen mandate is theirs, too.

 Even across many seas and countless mountains, the dream for a better better Imo reverberated. We saw it in Imo people in the diaspora under the aegis of Imo Community in Europe, who all came home, organized a debate for the governorship contenders. And Ihedioha floored the other contenders. That was at Rockview Hotels in Owerri. Inspired by Ihedioha's matchless preparedness to govern and his history of integrity in public service, they supported him and massively voted him at the polls. The mandate stolen is also theirs.

Throughout Imo state, citizens braved all obstacles and stood up for the persuasions of their hearts, and their spirits and their souls. In the remotest parts of the state, old women and men, and youths, defied the inclemency of the weather and came all out on election day. They were scorched by the sun. They starved till dusk, and many went thirsty all day. They were simply determined to make their views heard, to make their votes counted and to make their votes count. They voted, watched their votes being counted and rejoiced when their votes at last gave them the Governor of their collective dreams, Ihedioha. The mandate now stolen is theirs as well.

Imo people are Igbo. The world over, the Igbo are singled out as one of the earliest groups in the world to have practiced democracy. From the Aba Women Riot to the Ekumeku Uprisings, Igbo people have proven time and again that imposition of leaders on them must be resisted. It is a  serious cultural issue. They are republican by nature and they cannot apologize for whom they are. 

So, January 14 remains an assault on Igbo culture. It remains daring to our spirit and genetic configuration of abiding republicanism. A professor and lawyer, Lai Olurode, who was a National Commissioner at INEC, had once suggested that to move Imo out of restiveness, there was need to realize the political culture of the people and address the imposition of an unelected ruler on a historically egalitarian people. In a swift reaction to that, Chief Uzodinma declared the professor wanted and demanded security operatives to arrest him. Terrible!

Therefore, when Imo people boldly remind Chief Uzodinma that he wasn't chosen by them to govern, they are asserting themselves as that enviable democratic pride of the Black world. They are are making a statement, that no illegitimate, imposed leadership has ever thrived in their land. They are also speaking eloquently, that the mandate is theirs and cannot be taken away from them.

Someday, we all shall be witnesses to the ultimate triumph of justice, when the Lord will restore that which was stolen from Ndimo and salvage our land from the ravages of the locusts. The mandate is ours!

IMO DEPUTY GOVERNOR ADMONISHES CHRISTIANS TO EMULATE CHRIST

                                            

The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere has admonished Christians to emulate the character of Jesus Christ who Suffered and paid the ultimate price at the cross of Calvary to save mankind.

Prince Madumere said this at his country home shortly after “washing of Feet” ceremony on the eve of Good Friday remembrance at Praise Chapel of Anglican communion, Achi-Mbieri in Mbaitoli local government area

He said the wash of Feet was one of the practical ways Jesus Christ demonstrated the importance of humanity in the life of every Christian and called for equal regards for fellow human beings irrespective of class or social status. Prince Madumere also described washing of feet and Holy Communion as part of the solemn Christian spiritual ceremonies Jesus Christ had commanded Christians to perform in remembrance of Him.

On Good Friday remembrance, Prince Madumere called on Christians to learn from the sufferings and sacrifices of Jesus Christ to ensure that mankind was saved from eternal condemnation.

He said the event called for sober reflection and therefore urged Nigerians to reach out to those who are facing challenges of life to rekindle their hope through praying, talking and helping them out of some of their immediate problems.

   

HOW TO MAKE REAL MONEY IN THE TIME OF RECESSION

INTRODUCTION

Industrial production is a process of using of chemicals and other related substances including water which is a natural substance to come-up with finished products. These involves the production of equipments such as iron, rubber etc.

For the purpose of this discussion, we will be using chemicals and other substances to produce consumables.

Industrial consumables are quite enormous, but for the purpose of discussion will be limiting ourselves to:

1.      Bleach production

2.      Soap production

3.      Cosmetics production

                

PRODUCTION OF BLEACH

When such chemicals are combined together in water, it is allowed for a period not less than 42 hours before it can be used for washing.

Bleach is a product, produced by the combination of certain chemicals. USES OF BLEACH

Bleach has so many economic importance’s among which are;

1.      It’s used for washing of cloths,

2.      It’s used washing of toilet bowls

3.      It’s used for cleaning of chairs and tiles.

4.      Its also prevent germs

When producing bleach, the quality control can be determined using clothing material (coloured), this called fiber testing.

CHEMICALS  NEEDED FOR BLEACH PRODUTION

1.      Sodium Hydroxide: it’s also known as caustic soda. It serves as bleaching agent, stain remover.

2.      Chlorine: this is a bleaching agent that fades colour in any production process

3.      Sodium carbonate/ soda ash: it helps in breaking-down chlorine for its effect to be felt in the production.

DETERGENT PRODUCTION

Detergent is a surfactant. A surface active agent. It has the ability to act on surface whereby leaving the surface clean and neat.

FORMS OF DERTERGENT

Detergent as a surface active agent exists in two different forms;

(1)    Powdered detergent

(2)    Liquid detergent

USES OF DETERGENT

Detergents are used for various purposes. These include (1) washing of clothes (2) scrubbing of the floor (3) washing of hospital equipment (4) washing of factory equipment etc.

Detergent is also used as car wash. However the best car wash detergent is liquid detergent because it contains little or no sodium hydroxide which is capable of removing colour from the surface.

PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT

Production equipments are as follows:

                                 i.            Mixer: The mixer is made up of a bowl and stirrer which can be manual or electric powered. This depends on the financial capability of the producer.

                               ii.            Drier: This is used to dry the product. Drier can be electric or manual. Manual drying entails spreading the product under the sun so it can dry through the heat of the sun. This however can take some time and it can delay business especially in rainy seasons.

                              iii.            Hydrometer: This is equipment is used to determine the water density in caustic soda.

                             iv.            Face Mask: This instrument is for protection of the nose and mouth from direct inhaling of chemicals

                               v.            Lab Coat: This should be made with nylon material because such material withstands the penetration of chemicals.

                             vi.            Hand Gloves: For the protection of hands, this should also be made with nylon material

                            vii.            Plastic Bowl: For storing of water e

                          viii.            Weighing Balance: This is for weighing chemicals to ascertain the quantity to be used at each point in time.

CHEMICALS AND INGREDIENTS

1. SODIUM HYDROXIDE (CAUSTIC SODA): Sodium Hydroxide otherwise known as caustic soda, it’s a powerful base. This chemical must be soaked in water for a period not less than 24hrs before use in production.

This process is simply known as fermentation of caustic soda. Once the caustic soda is fermenting, the temperature rises up to 100⁰c and later falls to between 0^o c-30⁰c.when it is at low degree, it will then allow for accurate measurement of water density in the chemical, using the Hydrometer.

Note: If caustic soda is hot as you pour water into it, the temperature has risen and if you measure it at that point in time, the degree of the water density will fluctuate, and this can negatively affect your entire production.

2. SODIUM CHLORIDE: This substance is popularly known as industrial salt. Sodium chloride helps to control the harshness of the caustic soda. The absence of caustic sodium chloride in the product can cause peeling of skin after using the product.

3. SODIUM CARBONATE: This is also known as Soda Ash. Sodium carbonate is filler, it is there to fill the gaps and make the detergent more compact. It helps the detergent to come out in grains and also increase the quantity of the detergent.

4. FATTY ACID: Fatty acid can be obtained from palm kernel oil (PKO), olive oil, vegetable oil etc. It is rich in glycerol from where we derive glycerin, which is very nourishing on the skin.

5. SULPHURNIC ACID: This is a foam or lather booster. It helps the detergent to foam well thereby making the product very active. Lather or foam in detergent suspends dirt and does not allow it to get back to the cloth.

6. SULPHURIC ACID: It helps the detergent to dry faster and come out in powdered form. It does not allow it to form lumps.

7. AROMATIC AGENT: This is industrial perfume used for giving the product the desired fragrance.

8. BLEACHING AGENT: Bleaching agent can be obtained from chlorine or hydrochloric acid. This also helps to make the product more active in removal of dirt.

9. WATER: This is for fermenting the caustic soda and dissolving of the ingredients that comes in powdered form.

10. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE: This is for oxidation and is the last thing to be added during detergent production.

DETERGENT PRODUCTION PROCESS

1.       The first thing is to determine the volume of your production.

2.       Carry out the measurement of the chemicals and ingredients that will give the quantity of the volume.

3.       Ensure that your caustic soda is well fermented for at least a period of 24hrs.

4.       Make sure that the water density does not go beyond 12.75, 12.80 or 12.90, but note that when the water density is too low, the product will be too harsh, though the drying process will be faster.

5.       Pour the fermented sodium hydroxide into a bowl.

6.       Pour in soda Ash together with the industrial salt.

7.       Pour in your fatty acid.

8.       Add sulphurnic acid.

9.       Add colour: Note that if the colour is oil soluble, you mix it with a little fatty acid before pouring it in.

10.   Next is aromatic agent.

11.   Finally you gradually introduce the hydrogen peroxide.

Note: Each chemical or ingredient you add, you are to stir well the entire product for at least three minutes before adding another. This is to allow each chemical to blend to achieve proper reaction.

This whole process of soap of detergent production is known as saponification.

When you are done, you pour out and spread the product for drying.
