Based on this premise, this study seeks to interrogate the interface between marketing concept which is a customer (or people) focused orientation and democratic governance. In pursuit of this objective, 100 politicians were surveyed from four (4) political parties in Nigeria. Eighty five (85) of the 100 respondents responded. After editing, 81 responses formed the data which were analysed with simple descriptive statistics (such as tables, frequencies, percentages) and inferential statistics like Pearson’s Correlation coefficient (r) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The finding indicates a low positive relationship between marketing concept and democratic governance. Again,politicians make promises to the electorates but fail to fulfill most of those promises when theyget to power. This means that political marketers see marketing concept as a means to an end i.e. to capture the mandate of the electorate. Based on this finding, it is here recommended, among other things, that electorate should be more interested in the profile, antecedents and reputation of the politicians, rather than their promises.

In the development of any machine, the source of power supply for such machine is a very important factor in its design especially in underdeveloped country such as Nigeria. In this study a solar powered grass cutter was designed and constructed by fabricating some components while selecting others and finally assembling all to make a complete machine for use. SOLIDWORKS was used to run the design of the grass cutter machine. The design is aimed at making grass cutters readily available for use by fabricating a machine that makes use of solar energy captured from the sun to produce the power needed for cutting to take place. The grass cutter features an adjustable wheel device that enables cutting of grasses at different heights. The machine also has two charging source (electrical and solar) for recharging its batteries. Test Performance evaluation of the machine was done on three (3) different grass species and the time taken to cut the entire grass field was also recorded. The results of the test indicate that the machine performed differently on the three (3) different grasses and has an overall efficiency of 81.67%. Overall, the machine is fast, light weight, easy to operate and very efficient.
