Team UNIBEN wins international award for vehicle innovation

Students of Faculty of Engineering, University of
Benin, called Team UNIBEN, broke grounds in an
international competition - Shell Eco Marathon in
Europe and South Africa in Oct. 2014 and won a
distinguishing award for 'most innovative vehicle
design' throughout Africa with its made in Nigeria
car called Ecocruise. Continue...
Shell Eco Marathon is a global competition that
challanges students to build, test and drive fuel
efficient vehicles. In other words, all the cars built
are set to race and the vehicle that goes the
farthest on the least amount of fuel automatically
wins.
Team UNIBEN has previously also broken a record
when they attended the Shell eco-marathon
Europe in may 2014 with its first made in Nigeria
car Tuketuke, making it the first team from Sub
Saharan Africa to participate in the Shell eco-
marathon. These two cars were handmade by
these students alone in the workshop.
Tuketuke has innovative features like automatic
windscreen wiper, button actuated gears,
fingerprint access, ankara interior and fibreglass
body. Both cars won all 10 technical and safety
inspections, which I might add, are world standard,
that qualified them to race on the track.
They are currently taking yet another challenge to
build two cars that will participate in another shell
eco-marathon in the Netherlands next year.
Students involved include: Osas Omijie, Festus
ibidapo, adekola adeyemi, abdulmalik tajliad, Daniel
okwoka, justice Oyemike, emmanuel Ajari,
eloghosa iyamu, James itoro, Jennifer orji, Anne
monye, Michael olukoya,and Victor adegboye, 13
students in total supervised by Professor Akii
Ibhadode (Winner, NLNG Award for Science,
2010).

Total Darkness in December 2014!
WORLDWIDE - NASA has confirmed that the Earth
will experience 6 days of almost complete
darkness and will happen from the dates Tuesday
the 16 – Monday the 22 in December. The world
will remain, during these three days, without
sunlight due to a solar storm, which will cause dust
and space debris to become plentiful and thus,
block 90% sunlight.
This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who made
the announcement and asked everyone to remain
calm. This will be the product of a solar storm, the
largest in the last 250 years for a period of 216
hours total. Reporters interviewed a few people to
hear what they had to say about the situation with
Michael Hearns responding “We gonna be purgin
my n*gga, six days of darkness means six days of
turnin up fam”.
Despite the six days of darkness soon to come,
officials say that the earth will not experience any

3 BENEFITS OF GUGURU ( pop corn) AND GROUNDNUT TO YOUR HEALTH (A Natural Man Power Food)


Alot of people already know about this, while there
are many who stil don't have a clue of the power of
this food.
One thing about the food is that it is cheap and it is
availiable everywhere in the country. You can get it to
buy along the road, at the market or even prepare it
yourselve. So you have no excuse whatsoever not to
eat this food daily.
Now i'm going to talk about the health benefits;
1. Its a natural man power food; its amazing to know
that guguru and groundnut can actually increase your
stamina on bed and make you läst lóngær than you
can imagine. Just make sure you eat it daily and
forget about any drug you've been taking to aid
yourself before now. I eat it daily and i can tell you,
my partner is more happy with me than before.
2. It aids digestion and help treat indigestion/
constipation; i remember i use to have a big belle due
to indigestion. The first day i took guguru and
groundnut, i notice it flushed out all the waste from
my belle overnight, it was like i purged myself
because all through that night i was a constant visitor
to my toilet. But by morning i felt so good, my big
belle became flat and i was stronger than the
previous day.
3. Guguru and Groundnut help to treat general body
weakness and pain; After few days of taking guguru &
groundnut you will notice you are feeling
stronger ,healthy, and younger than before. No need
for pain killers drugs anymore, as it is a natural pain
killer. I personally, feel younger and stronger these
days due to my daily eating of guguru and groundnut.
