My fractured elbow
I recently fractured my left elbow while playing football. Since I could not afford the Bill demanded by the hospital, my parents arranged that I should visit a traditional Bone Setter. Lekan (by SMS)Fractures in young people especially those affecting the elbow could be complicated. It is for this reason that such fractures need to be carefully and professionally handled so as not to adversely affect the proper use of the elbow. For this reason, I will not encourage your use of a traditional bone setter.

Performance of Hajj
It requires the donning of hajj garments (Ihram) from the prescribed stations (Al-Miqat) leading to the Holy City of Makkah where the hajj rites are performed. For those who are performing interrupted Hajj (Hajj Al-Tamattu) as most Nigerians, the intention of performing Umrah (lesser hajj) is made, as they will put on Ihram for hajj separately. For those who are combining Umrah with hajj (Hajj Al-Qir’an), the intention for both Umrah and Hajj is made and will not put off the Ihram till the end of the hajj rites. And for those performing Hajj alone (Hajj Al-Ifrad), they make intention for the performance of Hajj alone at this point (Miqat), provided they have brought a sacrificial animal with them, and to remain in Ihram until the Day of Sacrifice i.e., 11th day of Dhul-Hijjah. After this those performing interrupted hajj (Hajj Al-Tamattu) will put off the Ihram and resume normal life until hajj proper.

Birth of an invention: Plea for enabling grant to conclude project
This reality informed the search for a more conducive alternative approach. As a welcome offshoot of sustained work on this objective over the years, a new invention tagged the “SS MAGNETRON” has finally emerged. The new invention is a dual-purpose assemblage designed for wholesale Solar/Wind power application, as well as the conventional inductive generation technique, devoid of fossil fuel combustion. A detailed background account of this work is contained in my book entitled: “Power, Politics & Peoples Welfare – THE MAGNETRON TECHNOLOGY – A New Window In Power Generation”. At this point, the stage is set for precision-engineering work to produce a scalable Prototype and proceed to patenting and other allied processes necessary to conclude the project.
