Of Damian Anyawu pioneer of Green technology
Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth
Damian Anyanwu is best known for building Nigeria’s first private radio station – Radio Mbaise Fame in 1979. Herbal electronics you can call it.he does electronics with herbs. This is a challenge to the likes of Prof ndubusi ekwekwe, village boy of Tekedia famed.
Damian Anyanwu was born in January 1957 in Nguru, Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria. He is the founder of Damian Anyanwu Research Center inc (DARCI) in the United States. In 1979, he built the first private operated Radio station in Nigeria, know as Radio Mbaise Fame. His Radio transmitters were made from herbal granules stuffed in empty tins, wires and improvised local material. In 1983, he was invited by former Nigerian President, Alhaji Shehu Shergari who decorated Damien with a National award, for his outstanding contributions to Mankind. He has also been honored internationally – U.S. president, George W. Bush invited Damien to Washington D.C for a presidential dinner with his entire cabinet.

Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth,
OK, Pa Google tells us that the first computer mouse was made of wood - nota bene - the first computer mouse - not the first computer !
Now, in the name of some super-natural magician straight out of some Amos Tutuola type of fantasy story - The Palm Wine Drinkard / My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, or Edgar Allan Poe (Tales of Mystery & Imagination) you want us to believe that one of God’s Bits of Wood- not “ the son of God”in person but one famous super-genius scientist and herbalist miracle man known as Damian Anyanwu early founder and proprietor of Herbal Electronics actually “ built” Nigeria’s first private radio station with herbs ?
Herbal Electronics indeed.
St. Augustine of Nigeria, give us a break!

Do not know how it works.they just say he uses granules. It's a puzzle that's why he was taken to Usa president george bush.he ii just like Nikola Tesla and gugliemo maroons starting out until he reveals his secrets. Honestly those of us who read a bit of physics are puzzle! I understand your concern mř Cornelius Hamelberg.

Dear Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth,
It’s funny isn’t it, that whereas Shakespeare knew little Latin and less Greek, post-Renaissance African man has no Biblical Hebrew (the very foundations of the Holy Bible) speak less of Greek and what he said he would be studying for next ; a Ph.D. in Hieroglyphics.
Nikola Tesla, born in Croatia, was from another planet.
For some of us there’s no metaphysics in the bag, speak less of physics, apart from dabbling in a smattering of the kinds of speculations presented by a populariser known as Fritjof Capra, the same year as Gopi Krishna..
I’m really not at all concerned whether with his super bio-computer your man made that radio station with herbs or with orange juice. I’m not concerned but I’m ;I’m puzzled that anyone could believe that he did so. The last time that I was concerned with that sort of thing was when I read somewhere - I seem to remember that it was in a science magazine, that some Israeli scientists had finally done it, broken the Wild West’s dependence on oil from the Middle East - they had repeated their experiment and arrived at the same end result: they had poured water at one end of the tube and oil had come out at the other end - enough to send shockwaves through Saudi Arabia, Iran and all the Gulf States but ; perhaps the kind of glad tiding of great joy that the poor people who are praying for fuel subsidies would like to hear and thank God for listening to their prayers as it would solve the problem of fuel subsidies forever and ever.
But what would happen to the oil economy? Who would like to be elected President of 220 Million hungry and cash-strapped Nigerians if your miracle-man could turn water into oil? Has any Nigerian pastor yet succeeded in turning ordinary water into wine, as Jesus did at Cana?
“Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told
The streets in heaven are lined with gold
I ask you how things could get much worse
If the Russians happen to get up there first
Wowee! pretty scary!” ( I Shall Be Free No. 10
I saw it on television. The westernern scientists

St. Augustine
The Last Poets : Bird's Word ( the inspired word of GOD)
I’m feeling a little more inspired and alive than a few days ago. My son Ola Nathanael Hamelberg has just returned home from a week in Beijing which is in China and I’m sort of "debriefing" him about his musical research mission to that country. BTW; I wonder how they would receive Burna Boy, and intensify Nigeria - China cultural relations, hopefully at a tangent with more attention needed to science and technology relations. As Patrick Wilmot famously suggested, Nigeria must invest more in dancing “ Mathematical Rhythms”…
Augustine of Nigeria, there’s always a first, the first up the humble MT. Sinai, the first up Mt. Everest, the first man on the moon, the first U.S. president to be indicted, you will have to wait patiently for the first woman born of a virgin, to be elected President of the United States. Some of these milestones are to be found in the Guiness Book of Records, the Encyclopedias of who discovered what, the lyrics of Mr. Wonderful’s song “Black Man“
It’s amazing how one thing leads to another, isn’t it? This thread takes me down memory lane to 1991. In 1988 my Better Half was given a grant by Sveriges Författarförbund ( Sweden’s Writers Association) to travel to Australia to study the varieties of Australian English spoken there, “Down Under” and to discover some more indigenous literature. Great White Man Patrick White was already what he still remains, with a keen ear for local dialects. Long story suppressed here. From there, fast forward to 1991 and to the first song that I heard by Australia's first Aboriginal rock band Yothu Yindi and the first lines of the first verse of the first song of that first album : “Treaty”
“ Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand”
Just in case when you read,”talking politicians “ you thought of repentant, born again Pastor Obasanjo, “ God will never forgive me “ etc and his sidekick, Alhaji Atiku, cheer up and pay no attention to them. Unlike you and me, they should be preparing -seriously - to meet and give an accounting to The Most Merciful, when they arrive at their political hereafter. You and me, we can now shake hands as I plead equally guilty to what I have accused others of when I talk about “ What colonialism has done to some of us”, and one of the things that colonialism has done to us is that it has caused some of us to utterly lose confidence and faith in ourselves and what we can do, are capable of doing. Just because Nigeria hasn’t yet sent any monkeys or gorillas to space or to the moon doesn’t mean that we are not capable of doing so, or that it wasn’t us who built the pyramids, a long time ago….
Right now, the original scepticism that you promoted in this thread, has been dissolved, the issue has been amicably resolved. “When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer ''
But not always, all the time. As Bob Dylan crowed about original man, even a few million years later it’s not everything that you have to understand. The Nobel Poet laureate, songbird, the inspired bird of God sang - not God, but Man Gave Names To All the Animals ):
“ He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until it was filled
He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how
Ah, think I'll call it a cow”
Who knows, there might come a time when you find that your rich man’s limousine or poor man’s danfo is running out of gas on the road from Port Harcourt to Owerri and you will still survive, you won’t even need some profitable/ unprofitable shares in Peter Obi’s defunct brewery or wish you had a bottle of beer , all you’ll need to do is to release some pure undiluted urine into the gallon can, shake it a little to transform the urine to either wine or to crude oil and fast forward in a split second lo and behold it has been transformed into the precious fuel you need, transformed by the hand of God, in your hand, already, totally refined, backward never, fast forward ever, past the latest developments with the Dangote Oil Refinery. That day will soon come Comrade St.Augustine. Do not despair.
The issue has been totally resolved through the mail received from a dear Igbo Bro part of which reads as follows:
“I was in Nigeria then and residing in Owerri (not too far from Anyanwu's radio station) and can confirm that he indeed had such a station and used herbs as his transmitter. I was also at the University of Nigeria , Nsukka when he was invited for study or fellowship program and I believe he dropped out as it seems he couldn't make sense of the university program and they couldn't make sense of his unconventional technology.”
So herbs, e.g marijuana can conduct / transmit electricity?
Biko of course must know all about this.
The speed of progress is amazing :
“Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
God said, "Let Newton be!" and all was light”
Fast forward to Nigeria and there was Damian Anyawu and his miracle herbal electronics busy materialising Nigeria’s first private radio station – Radio Mbaise, in 1979.
Fast forward to 1981 -1984 and I was listening to my favourite Radio Stations in Nigeria Radio Rivers 2 FM Stereo blasting some of the great African Music from Port Harcourt. Those years I was also a fervent listener to some great jazz and classical piano on Radio Moscow.
I understand that these days, almost everybody in Nigeria uses a cell phone!.Back then the criminals communicated via primitive walkie-talkies. They would give fair warning to the Chief Justice of Rivers State, about the night of their planned attack … ..another long story….
No smoke without fire. As to the connection between cause and effect, well, somebody, probably a homophobe or a Bible-thumping believer from Texas sent this message to me:
My main concerns now are, Sudan, what happens with Donald Trump, the martyr and former President of the United States, Ukraine suffering huge losses in the so called counter offensive
Pray for us...
I saw it on television. The westernern scientists
Do not know how it works.they just say he uses granules. It's a puzzle that's why he was taken to Usa president george bush.he ii just like Nikola Tesla and gugliemo maroons starting out until he reveals his secrets. Honestly those of us who read a bit of physics are puzzle! I understand your concern mř Cornelius Hamelberg.
