Una well done ooo my country people.
So it's mid term break for me and my children since on Monday after the inter house sports on Saturday. I teach in the same school where they school too.

So, because of the mid term break, I've been at home unlike the usual me coming back in the evening Mondays to Fridays. So today, being 23rd February 2024, yours truly was at home trying to get my visitor something when my son came to call me that someone was looking for me.

In my usual manner, I was like who could that be? So I stepped out and saw two good looking gentlemen, well dressed. We greeted and I asked who they were, so one of them in a very nice English o, that they are doing door-to-door CNG awareness.

And I was like which one is CNG again. He said it is compressed natural gas. That it's newly introduced in Nigeria due to the hike in the price of liquedfy natural gas (LNG) that's commonly used here in Nigeria.

According to Wikipedia, CNG can be used in place of petrol, diesel fuel and liquedfy petroleum gas (LpG).

According to them, the CNG gas lasts longer than LNG. The CNG he showed me was in a little container unlike the bigger gas cylinder which he said it can last for 90 days if used for five hours daily just like the gas in our refrigerator that doesn't get exhausted easily. The package came with a gas stove and the container of the gas which he said the total package was for 72,000 (seventy two thousand naira) but would be sold at a reduced (promo price) for 55,000 (fifty five thousand naira). I can't really tell the amount of steems that would be, till 1st March, 2024. They also stated that the gas can be bought at 4,000 (four thousand naira) at the fueling station.

According to him, the Federal Government of Nigeria is introducing this soon until the LNG is restored. So, they went from house-to-house to make the awareness, introducing the product in my estate today.

It was interesting to learn about that today, it's a new technological innovation which I really love. I got their contact to speak to them and also order for mine later because they told me one can pay by two installments. 30,000 and 25,000 after three months.

Have you heard of this new innovation in your neighborhood? He said it's being used in big cities like Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt already.
