As a black man from America, this warms my heart to bear witness to the great mind of my brother who is on the other side of the planet. His creative gift has been used to benefit our people in Kenya and can serve as a model to other African nations and countries throughout the world that have poor infrastructures. May Allah continue to bless this scientific mind in our brother.

[@seanwright8786]

@Big Foot if u felt offended, by no means did I intend to do so. By referencing the point of West Africa versus East Africa is exactly the problem why Africa has been slow to unite for all these centuries of colonial rule under Europe. WE ARE FAMILY !!! We are the Original black people of the Earth....whether we are from Gambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, etc. TRIBALISM HAS MADE OUR PEOPLE WEAK and here in the western hemisphere we talk the same weak talk. Let's understand one thing, there is a people who don't stop to ask what part of Africa we are from or whether I'm a Black American or whether u are from the West Indies or East Africa or whatever. When they see you or me or ur cousin or my son they say, "GET DOWN DOWN ON THE GROUND!!! HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!!" Learn that quick Mr Big Foot. All that other troll stuff you talking is obsolete.

[@Lobo-Lobo]

They won't. Any manager will be scared of talented people like this. Our people are usually scared of talents like this-Would they hire someone who's going to eventually take their position? I doubt it! That is why throughout Africa, managers hire untalented and unskilled drones, who pose no threat to them/job! Believe it or not, there is an unwritten rule(Especially Government run institutions) which guides hiring managers-Never hire one who most likely could have you replaced in the future! So they get rid of the job applications for this or that reason!

[@billwaliaula1512]

Hey guess what, if you ever visited the equator, lowest temperatures around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, highest temps around 80’s .we don’t use electricity to heat and cool our homes. We also cook via firewood or charcoal or gas ( biogas @ times) so the electric power is mainly for lighting, and powering house hold appliances. Now that I live in America, I see why you would ask that question. We pipe and condition our air, cook with electricity, charge our cars with it. Literally everything is electric.

De stepup transformer was jus to boost the electricity dat was initially converted frm mechanical energy to electrical energy..... den it was again reduced via a stepdown transformer to fit domestic use
