Nothing is a waste in developed countries. China now burns damaged paper money to generate electricity. Photos taken on Wednesday at an electric power company in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, show a truck carrying over 3 billion yuan (470 million US dollars) worth of notes. The bundles are first shredded before the small pieces are burnt with straw. According to Zhu Hongwei, an employee at the company, each truck weighs around 30 tons, and the company usually ends up burning around 1,800 tons of notes each year. Zhu told China Radio International that the damaged paper money is a good material to generate electricity, as it has a high heat value and contains less moisture

Nigeria my country, which way, with all our resources, what have we to show?, what are we generating or producing?, why are we not developing with the rest of the world. Let's join hands together to make Nigeria great; heaven help us.

Una neva halla, oil when una dey produce una no even get fuel for people to buy meanwhile oil price is at its lowest ebb and countries are even looking for consumers yet Nigerians are buying fuel very expensive. Let us all enjoy Buhari's Government--------It is the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria.

Country built on wrong foundation, that is what you get. They are still importing fuel when they should be selling to other countries. They struggled to come to power in the bid to continue looting but God had another plan for them. They are now confused becos oil price don fall, no more money to steal. They are now playing blame game. Jonathan this, Jonathan that. APC fix the problem please, we are waiting for the CHANGE you promised.
