SAHARA DESERT CAN
BUBBLE AGAIN
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
Sahara Desert which is seen as a useless piece of wastelands
is actually a diamond mine waiting to be mined.
Embedded in this large or huge swathe of expansive land
which cuts across nations like Libya ,Egypt ,Algeria, Sudan, Niger, Mali, Mauritania,
Morocco, western Sahara, Chad and this days Northern Nigeria are traces of what
is regarded by scientists as variants of Rivers, lakes, streams all under the ground
but sprouting out to gather at deep depressions on the surface called Oasis..
During the ice age ,the demography of human and animal
population was different from what we make of it today.
In a chat with the News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia
in her Lagos home ,a source who will not want to be in the print told this reporter
that the Sahara Desert was not always a desert
but that it was due to the shift on the earth surface due to the effects
of global warming that turned it into a wasteland .
She recalled that the
theory of Gondwanaland that stated that the
early set of men moved around the world on foot unhindered as there were no
seas or rivers to separate the continent like it is today.
According to her,if an analyst pick up a map to do a
critical analysis physically of the structure of the major continents ,he or
she would see that if fused together they will just become one.
She also noted that there was a lot of similarities between the
animals and plant life on the coast of South
America and west Africa and stated as such that the theory that the world used
to be one was no lie.
She explained that she had watched series of documentaries
on the National Geographic channel which showed that Archeologists had
discovered lots of treasure under the ground in the Sahara Desert .
She affirmed that there were a lost cities and civilization
buried under the deserts around the world with Sahara not being different.
This reporter has read a beautiful piece in TIME magazine
couple of years ago in which it was disclosed that at least 50 to 60 percent of
the energy needs of the European Union could be tapped from the Sahara Desert
if leading investment banks in the world pull their resources together to finance such a project.
According to the ground breaking editorial masterpiece
,photo electric cells will be mounted in the Sahara Desert under such a scheme
to trap its ready -made solar energy from the sun every day to drive electricity.
The source added that with the way the ozone layer depletion
had triggered –off the concept of global warming ,the positions of the world
may yet change again and even Sahara Desert as we see it now may still become
green again in millions of years to come.
She agreed totally to Paedia Express Multimedia exclusive reportage
on the shifting of the North Pole and pleaded with policy makers to do
something to reverse the trend before
things get too late .
SAHARA DESERT CAN COME ALIVE AGAIN...
