        The Arabian countries with heat waves, drought etc will need such expertise and will be willing to pay a trailer load of his requirements. May be its time for Nigerians to start exporting what I regard to as 'native science.'

        we only believe in Allah and not witchcraft that blindfolds your eyes "We send down pure water from the sky. That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created, cattle and men in great numbers."Al-Qur'an 25:48- 49

        Don't speak for others but yourself... You shame other beliefs yet yours is also a fragment of falsehood... Wat is yours is yours don't try crossing boundaries defending a livity that continues to bring shame and misery to its so called Children..

        doesn't work that way.. the ingredients have to be present. If i claim I can make life as we know it, dont take me to Mars where there is no oxygen. the claim is for creating life not creating oxygen

        Of course it’s free , clearly u can’t even appreciate the fact that it did rain. Africans always want to discard themselves and their own potentials @GHOneTV @etvgh @tv3_ghana @Citi973
