Earthing of your lightning protector is to conduct current from lightning strikes safely to earth. Earthing of your electrical installation is for conducting of fault current / leakage to earth.

Faulty earthing or bad design is why we are sometimes electrocuted by household items. The moment there ie earth leakage, your earth leakage breaker should trip.

Earthing requires regular checking and maintenance to ensure that Earth resistance has not built up. In domestic installations, checking of the integrity of earth installations is rarely if ever done.

What this means is that in the event of a lightning strike, a bad earthing installation may fail to conduct the current to earth. If the arrester earthing and building earthing are linked, the current may travel into your system and destroy your electronics.

It is better you keep earthing of lightning protection and building separate. The cost implication is not significant

Did anyone have news on current price of cement, and rods??

KolaShangOne:


Cement is still 2650... still waiting for the drop in prices.

anochuks08:
Cement is 2500 around here.

ice4u999:


I want to ship solar panels in vehicles. Hopefully I don't run into issues

KolaShangOne:


DANGOTE 42.5?

anochuks08:
Yeah, Dangote. Dangote, Unicem goes for 2,500 while BUA goes for 2550/2600

bereiweris:
asked from a retailer here in rukporkwu PHC he said 2800 for dangote3x

Mayor78:
That's the problem with Nigeria. When price of materials goes up exponentially for whatever reason, it stays at that point.
The cost of this very important building material 'cement' went up sharply because of increase in dollar to naira exchange rate, now the dollar to naira has crashed, cement price hasn't come down as reports from above suggests.

Even where the price of roof and roofing materials are coming down, it still has little significant because you can't roof without building.

Nigeria traders are shylock fraudsters ready and willing without mercy to pounce on their customers at any given opportunity all the time.
I no know whether God go bless them for their unreasonablilities.

Good morning bro, I think the problem is just as it is in every other Nigerian sector. Things are not working the way it is supposed to.

My knowledge of economics taught me that the price mechanism is a process controlled by the market forces of demand and supply. Where demand outstrips supply, price should rise, and vice versa.

But due to the wide swings and suddenness of the rise of all materials in this country, everything cannot return to normal immediately. Take for instance the man who imported his materials the time dollars was selling at N520, and is just bringing his goods in now dollars are seriously going down in value, he cannot afford to bring down his prices or he will take a big loss. It will take time for the prices to return to normal.

I am encouraged by the rapid drop in iron bars. That one continued to crash all through last week.

The prices will all come down with time, as newer dealers try to get more customers, and we pray for some stability in the economy so we can get a steady price for many of our materials.

EgunMogaji:
N2,800

Dangote 42.5r and Elephant are both N2,500 in my little enclave.

Please don't come and Lagonificate our area, just leave us alone and let us enjoy our palm wine and "eran oya" in peace in our village.

Good morning Oga Spyder! Yours was a good take at optimism towards improving cost for customers like us as dollar to naira exchange improves for the later. It will be good to give importers time to sell off goods they imported imported at high exchange rate, but let us remember that they didnt allow us to buy up the goods they imported at lower exchange rate before dollar starts to rise. It is even arguable if most of them import any at all during the short period that dollar rose.
What is good for the geese should be equally good for the ganders.
They hiked the prices on goods imported with low rate, they need to lower the prices as dollar are coming down irrespective of whether they import with high rate.

I doubt though because greed and cheating too much for average Nigeria trader body. Na God go help us because we knew Nigeria traders too well. Oga you wan make I close shoop? I imported with high exchange!!
