Translation - English Solution to the world global warming is not in nuclear power generation. Adequate and effective solution to smokes emanating from the production of electric power which causes world global warming should not be based on nuclear power generation. This is part of the news coming from World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) which was released by world information service in energy based in Paris.
The news pointed out that increase in nuclear power generation has not resulted to decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) released which is the major gas causing global earth warming. This is true on one hand because the use of heavy duty engines will result to the increase in power consumption rather than improve the production of adequate power.
The news also observed that nuclear power generation only produces power, while other means of power generation such as heat uses a combustible which increases the production of carbon dioxide (CO2). Jennifer Morgan who is the director of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) campaigning against the change in nature said “government should not encourage or commend nuclear power generation”.[The records of the procedure is a vehicle for introduction of changes and expansion of the business for true clean and effective power generation means {the structure of sentence from source is not clear}]
Countries with nuclear power potentials such as Canada, France and Japan are encouraging developing nations to embrace nuclear power generation. But China example has shown that improving the effectiveness of power generation is better for developing nations instead of establishing nuclear power. Avoiding wastage of power in China has saved the country 430 million tons of the dangerous smokes (C02) from 1980-1997. The news further showed that nuclear power market as a market that is falling. The slump in the market is as a result of deregulation of the power generation market. This is also because of the diversion from use of heavy duty engines to small engines that use gas, which is more effective and also the competition for the use of wind in power generation which is developing. The problem of instability facing the business of nuclear power generation is also responsible for the downturn in the popularity of this means of power generation.

Translation - English Greetings to us all lovers of Jazz Music. Lots of our people thinks that Fuji, juju, high life and cultural music only are what the Yoruba’s enjoy all their life. This is not true.
During the era of independence of our fathers and mothers, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and Fela Kuti were among the arts that we admirer. You will observe that all the names aforementioned were all referred to as art, “Onagoruwa”.
We have art practitioners and entertainers. If there is a wizard among the producers of jazz music, the name of the wizard should be Wayne Shorter.
His records that bring joy to me are Juju, Soothsayers, and The All Seeing Eye.
In this modern time, the likes of Joshua Redman, Nacao Zumbi, Jorge Ben, Roy Hargrove, Chucho Valdes and Irakere are the types of music we enjoy. It is advisable for our media houses (radio and television) to carry out activities to promote Juju and Afro Cuban music as they have been doing for Fuji and Juju musicians. We are pleading……….
Be that as it may, some elderly men made me understood that when the Americans wanted to start singing jazz music, they use Yoruba sets of drums. In Cuba and Brazil especially in the city of Bahia, they are very conversant with Yoruba sets of drums when playing music. Chango/Shango father of Apala owns Bata drum. Ogun god of iron is the god art practitioners worship………..
Greetings to our art practitioners, may we continue to prosper …….Amen
