Make her family and then turn it to family business.. If it is true love, then your heart's eye has seen that she is good for business and good for your life... If thats not the case, then maybe she is just hot and you are in heat

This solar guy's price is good especially if that includes installation... I hope it includes charge controllers and supplimental small battery charger that allows to use PHCN and Generator to charge batteries for days when sun is not shining much.. With all of that and no more than 500k naira, its a good price..

Its true, battery inverter alone will not be saving money because gas for generator and PHCN bill will stay the same or increase, but there will be some backup power to claim for the cost... Most people dont have expensive throttle control generators that auto-reduce the throttle when useage is below the generators watt capacity.. That means most people always have a surplus of electricity just wasting when they run the generator.. Storing that surplus on a battery-inverter system is not a watse of energy ,but a capture and savings of energy... The same cannot be said about PHCN.. PHCN is all around a waste of money right to the point of billing for a non existent product called electricity..

Solar panels and generator with charge controller, inverter and battery combination as well as a battery charger to capture genrator and PHCN to make 12v dc current to charge batteries when the sun is not shining well for a few days..
All these together are enough to hold over a complete power supply.. Wind generator/turbine is another great supplimental to add as they produce more current when active than a solar panel... With wind added as supplimental ,it will save generator cost.. Days when it rains all day with sun clouded out with dark clouds, you will have the wind blowing... Wind generator will be there to supplement very well...
I have a Honda EU generator, very quiet and with eco throttle.. The eco throttle is an automatic throttle which reduces petrol consumption based on the electric load being drawn.. But it cannot reduce the throttle to adjust to less than 25% of capacity even if you only use 10% capacity... But it is still good and saves money ,because cheaper basic generators burn petrol at full throttle at all times under any load below capacity...
Honda eu generators sell for $2600 for 3kW peak and $1200 for 2kW peak.. The 3kv peak one can take up to 20 hours to burn 3.4 gallons of petrol for constant supply at 400watts which is enough for 2 tV's and 10 efficient lights... It will be plenty to charge batteries as well.

The high price is only a starting point issue.. People who buy the cheap generators will replace them or repair them far more often than these honda generators.. By the time i spend $2700 over 5 years of replacing and maintaining cheap generators, the Honda eu generator will still be running fine & ready for another 5 years after some major service for the price of one new cheap generator... And thats after the generator was working 8 hours a day for 5 years and being maintained well..
Solar is not cheap either.. It works best for those who invest a large starter cost that makes a $2700 generator seem like a small accessory.. Full home service power plant balanced with wind, solar and battery charger to plug into alternative fuel generator ,will be a complete self contained system that can call PHCN to come collect their rubbish meter,wires and poles... 1million Naira should be enough unless you live in a palace or use industrial grade machines.

The guy's price is good.. I lived with solar and genrator for ten years and did my own installation and maintainance.. I have learned first hand and am also putting together another small solar kit as we speak.. I have ordered the accessories and will get the solar panels and batteries later locally when i am ready to instal.. My inverter, charge controller and accessories will all fit inside a small back pack and carry go anywhere there are batteries and solar panels..
See the picture below of what i have right now waiting to do a set up of a 1kw peak output system... The inverter is not in the picture, i have that being shipped direct to the site and i will carry these components here with me in my back pack with room to spare for some personal things.

Remember, peak output is what a system is rated for.. If you want to actually sustain 3kv, then buy a 4 or 5 kvwSystem.. 3 kw system is good for 2.5kw.. My 1 kw system is only good to sustain .8kw load... Advertised rating is only for peak use which can only be sustained for short periods of time.. Some will advertise extreme peaks almost double the basic rating.. But if they dont advertise a separate peak rating, then use it only to 75% or less of the Watt rating.. It makes a difference in how long the inverter will last.. Heavy duty expensive inverters usually last many years, but the cheaper smaller ones dont last more than a year under daily use under 75% load for most of the day.. Some cheap ones wont even last a few months without a separate load controller to sheild them from the battery bank's high amperage capacity... The charge comtroller i have here, controls load, charge and input.. They have 360 watt or 30amp rating for DC load...

Remember that not all solar panels are equally powerfull...
If OP's solar panels are anything less than 80watts or 100 watts, then maybe it is not a good price and will not power as much as he claims.
Some solar panels are huge and put out over 200 watts while others are small and put out 50 watts or less.. Count the watts on everything being given to you and also account for amps... The batteries should be rated in amps... 150 watt battery has no power for the claims above.. If it is 150 amps to the battery, then we have power.. 200 amps battery at 12 volts will be 200x12= 2400watts... 2400 watts of 12 volt DC must then covert to 24 volts and then or directly to 220 volts.. By the time the inverter changes 12volt dc to 220 volts ac, the watts available per hour, will be divided by 20 and then adjusted for the gaps in current alternatiings .. 120 ac watts per hour maximum per 12 volt battery.. If they are four, then 4 hours at that rate...

Some batteries are 100amp and others 220amps... Some are 6 volt batteries while others are 12 volt... 6 volt is easier to charge with smaller charges.. 12 volt will take longer to charge with small loads, unless it is a lower amp battery like 100amp or less 12volt battery.. Also no battery is designed to give out its full amp load.. So even after all these calculations and rated amps, the actual load available to draw, will be less and over less hours... The good thing is that solar panels will add to the batteries output as we draw load from the batteries.. But this is only during the day when there is sun.. So day time use will be far more yeilding than night time use... This is why the best systems are balanced with wind and supplemental battery chargers...
DC watts and DC amps are not equal to AC watts and AC amps... There is a lot changed in the inversion and conversions done by inverters and converters..Also power is lost from heat and noise in the components such as inverter and charge controllers...

You can pay a lot of money for very little electricity with solar, and even be misled if you dont understand the workings and conversions of voltage, watts and amps... Also to know the safe operating parameters of each of the system's components...

Where are the stories of the men who left Abroad with abroad university masters degree, to come to Nigeria to help better it, and they found themsleves working 12 hour days every day with many months of unpaid salary? Where is the story of them being so poor from making the mistake of returnng to Nigeria for the better? As they lay plagued by malaria and too poor to afford medicine so often and then too broke to afford enough food to eat extra to help recover from the emaciating disease? Their children too suffered like that..

Where are the stories of how they some how made it out of Nigeria back to abroad and found work and rose up in the company and eventually formed their own company, owning it and owning their home and owning even more on top.. And all that success with a subdued fear of Nigeria because even when they try to send something back or return to visit with good tiding, they are cheated and robbed..
This is the common story and it gives a big clue why many people prefer suffering abroad than in Nigeria.. You will sleep on the streets of USa and it will be cleaner than some houses in Nigerian poor slums.. You will hunger in Nigeria but in USA there will always be multiple free food charities daily within every city among more than twohundred in USA... they will even extend free shelter per night for a while..

You will work as a lowly toilet cleaner in USA and know your salary will be paid even if it is not enough to do more than eat and sleep..You will work in Nigeria as a professor at a University and will not know when next your salary will come, and even the uneducated street hawkers of the Nigerian slums,will see some money daily, but a professor or government office worker could wait months before seeing even the outdated Kobo..

The list goes on as with basic security and hygenic environments... Sure it doesnt make sense to spend .5 mil naira to go USA and bring the life savings of 5mil Naira, only to see it drain away and stay away.. But it is never all lost in Very well developed countries.. Its not their rate of development that makes them, its their rate of support for the very poorest and disabled.. Their rate of compensation for even the least qualified workers....
Nigeria will never be close to being a developed country if all it sees is material development rather than increasing the lowest wages while decreasing the highest wages as among political leaders.. Better Equity among participating citizens... All the development in the world can be brought to Nigeria and it will still be a bottomless pit until the richest stop raking it all up even into foriegn accounts, while standing agawk at why the poorest cant find opportunity for themselves among a world taken up by the rich with no intent to concern with sharing opportunites and resources with the poor and disadvantaged..

A developed country will be less over runn with Urine and feces in the streets, because they make the effort and concern for the poor to install free and public toilet and sink or at least make possible to easily earn a wage that can pay to use public toilet and sink.. That also drastically reduces the spread of disease...
The same with installation of adequate drainage for gutters and sewage.. Roadway design and so on..
You can see Nigeria is full of half measure endevours because someone always had to stifle the funds with their own encroachment of greed..
Nigeria isnt in need of more.. Its in need of better use and equity for the excess it already has...

Its easy to enter the arctic region at the northern most points, through ocean or airdrop... Once you are in the deep arctic areas, they are sparsely occupied and you can enter Canada from the north unrestricted with or without documents.. Same applies for russia and even the USA state of Alaska...

The reason it it so easy to enter, is it is so hard to survive and make it out alive on foot or even with any land transport... So No one is crazy or equipped enough to be waiting there to arrest immigrants entering... But... The stress, hassle and life risk may be worse than passport and visa hassles... It may all be harder and riskier than theoretically staying in Nigeria and living as a street hawker in Ajegunle..

If they know you are leaving, they will even rob your locked up house while gone..

If they know you are returning, they will be waiting to rob you at the road side exiting the airport area..

Ooh Joy! Soon the day will come when i can post detailed and picture rich topics of my trip to Nigeria... One day by the grace of most high...

one Dangote cement plant is bigger than all the combined segregated power plants installed in lagos over the past few years..
Dangote can easily install massive power generation facilities and several of them if needed.. He will profit from it as well as the customers who will enjoy more reasonable electric bill/costs..

This sounds like a post by someone who intends to strong arm rob people.. Coming here with this post to hypnotize as many people as possible into making life easy for robbers..
Imagine that? Not even allowed to raise alarm and shout OLE! BARAWO! or THEIF!.. Just sit quiet and let them take and let them escape and dont even look at their faces to be able to identify who they are later?
If you are settled at heart that life must be any endurance of risk, then it is in proper place to take the risk to at least make an effort to be a part of social justice and even policing ,so as to manage the risk out there...
There is no reason why people cannot organize themselves to police themselves and defend themselves especially when the police are failing them and even robbing and extorting them..

This post is the wrong way to go, it is so bad in Nigeria to remain sitting back to let robbers have their way and not even look at their eyes to know who they are for future reference... Things only get worse by that and eventually so bad there will be no choice but to have all out uprising and extensive societal turmoil...
Arm your self, encourage yourself with wise courage and tempered skill and test the cowardly fear of those that would terrorize you because they are too weak and cowardly to endure real work and respect for fellow man..

The robbers will never be reigned in until the people in general society are empowered and able to defend themselves and police against the foul play around them... The robbers will always see the people as sheep and themselves as wolves, until people behave like they are the police and they are the way of justice... Then the robbers will be sheep at the mercy of the people.... The people are many, the police are few and so are the robbers but just a small group of cowards...
Robbers have power only because they are men, police have power because they are men... If you are a man, you have power as well to do what is needed along the lines of setting things right against those who take power to use and abuse...

Even the political power and legislative power to make and unmake laws, is inherent to being human.. Is the president in power because he took it like a robber and the people just stayed silent and made no attempt to see his face? No, the people enmass gave him that power with organized selection... People have the power to take it away as well... Same goes with robbers and thieves...

I agree with having mercy on a robber, but i believe even more in not just giving yourself to the mercilessness of a robber..
Prepare yourself, arm yourself and be the police that the police fail to be (many police rather be robbers themselves)..
People are the power and also the source of justice and lawful living...

So this is the fate of Eko Atlantic as well? Or have they designed proper underground drainage in eko atlantic?
Lagos is overpriced and this kind flooding devalues the real estate in any developed country... Even Eko hotel is affected and overpriced..

They should just pack up and sell the whole city to catfish farmers, and surely more productivity will yeild from that area...

They have good enough electricity supply there.. Better than Nigeria electric supply and almost constant supply throughout their own mega city of manila.. Cannot say the same about Lagos... Also philippines people are not as overtly aggressive even among street hustlers and cheap public transport crews.. But they still drive crazy like wanting to kill on the road.. They still have security issues but not like bokoharam.. kidnapping and cult ritualist and all that are not as common there.. It still has filthy places.. I am not sure if makoko near lagos island area is worse or if manilas water side slums are the worst? Maybe manila may be worst in a few things and nigeria better in a few things...
Philippines has very little forest and wildlife preserved there anymore... In Nigeria, you can still get lost forever in their jungles..
I tested philippines for a few years but not for schooling or work.. Now i must come test Nigeria again to be sure which of the two is whatever...
Philippines is so close to china and all its pollution as well as many dense and polluted asian cities.. Overpopulated and over polluted..
I beleieve Nigeria can easily get the repreive of fresh sahara air, atlantic ocean air and equitorial jungle expanse air... That makes a huge difference in drowning out the effects of air pollution...
The air in philippines is constant smell of pollution. And when fresh air blows in, it could be from Chinas polluted air space or malaysia polluted air space or from the pacific ocean freshness where many deadly typhoons come from including the worlds biggest storm in known history... Constant typhoon damage and deaths there...

Nigeria better reform the sweet deals china gets in Nigeria's mining and other industries..
Nigerians are set to start doing their own work and keepng their own profit, rather than outsourcing to foriegn companies who come in and fleece the country of more than they bring into it..

That mercedes is now worth more than most new Mercedes today... Take it to the right market in USA and eleswhere, and they will happily pay enough for it to buy a new mercedes and have extra cash to pay for a driver..
Its a rare car and hard to find, millionaire car collectors will pay big money to acquire it...

what happened to the woman who was enthroned as Deji of akure? Is this story fake and the woman is still deji of akure?

What is the definition of a Guarantor by Nigerian immigration terms? Is it one who attest to your family connection and right to be recognized as a citizen? Does it have to be a family member or Local community/government authority?

I beg, it seems that they rush to conclusions and started beating before ever inspecting any joystick for its status as present or missing.. At the very least ,maybe inspect the accused to see if he had more than one or an abnormal double size one..

Chai! all of them should be charged under the homosexual laws for being in such a violent frenzy over another mans joystick regardless of the nature of the interest... Its all very homosexually suspicious.

Too many tanker accidents and they are usually full of casualities not even related to the tanker or driver...
It is extremeley serious how many of these tanker accidemts happen and the amount of lives they take in the most horrific ways...
Even hell fire sermon in church no conjure fear like the sight of sharing road with tankers and their drivers...

They lose at the same time.. It takes a man and a woman to lose virginity together.... Although, will one man take more multiples of women's virginity? Or will one woman take more multiples of men's virginity?

Some intellectuals believe that men are naturally born disvirgined, they are genetically made unvirgined... They just simply cant be virgins by nature/birth... . Hmmmmm.

No... You must renew the passport before submitting it for visa.... One of the most commom requirememts for visa to anywhere on earth, is a passport with not less than six months of validity remaining...
It goes to say ,that you must consider any passport with less than 6 months remaining before expiration, useless for travel...

Go renew it now even if the travel plans must be delayed...

Chai! Praying, fainting, crying and trembling people begging for mercy...
Only god knows how many people soiled themselves as well... Last flight i was on with turbulence issues, i worried i would faint, but all passed well and i adjusted quickly, but that small time of panic seems like forever.

Are all of Nigerias police under federal jurisdiction? Or are some of them controlled by states and cities?

Benin city is the gateway to Ondo and Ekiti state... Go to Benin city and then there are two direct highways to Akure. The one that passes Owo to Akure, is the main highway and goes a longer distance to reach Akure and even as far as Ibadan if you like... The other road to Akure from Benin city, its less distance but I am not sure what condition or how fast movement goes on it...
Any road you take, you must leave Benin city towards the north to reach Akure..

When you reach akure, there is a direct Highway to Ado Ekiti... I am not sure where Ikosu or Moba is... There is Ilu Omoba outside of Ado Ekiti... Just get to Ado Ekiti from Akure and you will find a way to reach your final place...
Once you reach Akure ,the time to Ado Ekiti is very short and then to your final place will also be easy...

I used to live in Akure long ago and my father drove daily to work in Ado Ekiti at the Federal University there... Not a very far drive...

When you check in for your flight, they will give you your boarding pass with the gate number on it... Go to the gate assigned to you and wait to board.. Please do so on time as 45 minutes prior to departure or you may miss your flight..

When you arrive Qatar, exit the flight and enter the concourse area where all people and businesses gather for arrival and departure gates..
Look for the * Telecast Display * of flights and their schedules with * Gate number assignment *. Look for your Dubai destination and flight carrier Qatar airlines, then look for the one with your flight number... When you find your flight number, then look for the gate assigned and proceed to the gate on time to be there before your flight departs...

Qatar airlines will make a smooth gate transition for you in Qatar.. They will park as near as possible to the next gate you need so that you can easily make the change to the next flight...

Remember, when you arrive Qatar and exit the aircraft, the first thing to do is look for the flight schedule listing which is usually a line up of flat screen televisions broadcasing the flight schedule for the 6 hours or more of flight to arrive and depart. You will find your next flight shceduled under departure listings.... All modern airports have the telecast flight schedule in their concourses (transition and waiting areas) as well as baggage claim and check in areas... The Telecast will tell you which boarding gate to go to meet your next flight...

If you are using the same airline for both Qatar and Dubai, you will not have to collect your baggage and re-check in Qatar.. Just go on to the next flight and your checked bags will be directed to meet you in Dubai at baggage claim on arrival...
I hope you can understand my grammar because the travel process is not going to be less complicated than my grammar here... Good luck there...

Mine was expired when i lost it and i never worried about it because i wasnt using it because no chance to travel with it back then... I dont know the passport number of it or any other details except my own name, date of birth and place of birth... I know it expired some time in 1990, thats all.....

so, unless passport office has a file sytem that allows to look for an old passport number by the name and date of birth of the holder, i wil be better off just applying for a new passport from start... My old passport was issued as a child (minor) and expired when i was 16 years old...
I have been using my other passport which is much easier to travel with until its time to go to Nigeria, then it becomes a hassle and more costly...
I will just start with filing for a new one from fresh start, because the old one was as a child/minor, I know no passport number to present and it was expired 25 years ago without ever being renewed.

They have 3d printers selling now and soon there will be an app that takes photo sequences just for the purpose of creating a file for a 3d printer to use to print a copy of your head and face.... Then carry that go to ATM and see how much cash they can get from your bank account..
Its a wonderful technological advance, but not a pratical appplication without fool proof safeguards...

Office of financial Ombudsman, Whistle blower protection act, witness protection act, Federal Audit commision, Treasury act,

And others, seem to hint at measures to better handle corruption... Maybe even the Nigerians in Diaspora commission could posibly be an attempt to reign in escaped embezzlers who take NG money to diaspora to hide and enjoy it... Reminds of the big issue under Buhari 1984 or so, regime when he got in international trouble for kidnapping a nigerian embezzler fugutive who was oater discovered by UK customs and released back into UK.... They used a network of "Nigerians in Diaspora" to track the wanted man down to face charges of embezzlement in Nigeria.

Just my wild guess here as I keep my eyes open for Buhari measures to handle corruption there...

Buhari is a herdsman, he knows how to appreciate such a gift and just what to do with it..A Real cowboy now..

Does solar shop nigeria dot com ,have a store location in lagos where people can go and buy direct from the show room? Or is it strictly online unseen?

Tomatos came frome there in south america, cocoa came from there also, many types of beans, various types of potatoes and corn/maize and other things..
South America is the source of the majority of food that allowed the world to explode into the development era..
The europeans went in and took a treasure trove of food culture which in turn allowed europeans to have the food production capacity to grow and develop in the way that they did... Meanwhile they systematically destroyed the south american natives and their rich heritage of many superior things..

Africa gets credit for the Yam and okra and groundnut... Ground nut has spread all over the world in a big way... Coffee came from africa and has also spread as a global staple...

Trust me, majority of the worlds most popular staple foods, come from south america... Potatos, beans, tomatoes, chocolate.... Almost every culture uses tomatoes for sauce topping..

I took those pictures in Peru, the food capital of the americas. Very ancient culture that developed undisturbed for thousands of years, so they evolved a very advanced agriculture base full of diverse crops.. They had the amazon jungle in their favor, very diverse plant environment

Mangoes from India along with peppers... Bananas and plantain came from that region of south asia also... Hot pepper may have come to africa long before europeans and likey originated in asia/india... Asians had rice and so did america, long before europeans reached out into the greater world to take whatever they wanted...

SourSop/Graviola fruit gets ripe out in the open air... Ripening is the pre-stage of fermenting or rotting... You want rotting conditions available and then keep a close eye on it...
Better to leave it to ripen on the tree until the skin breaks open and releases the sweet aroma....
Ahhh sweet memories of the days when i ate it every day for months... Same season as mango season for Soursop

Some pictures of back in the days with good soursop and other tropical fruits...

foodiciary:
I fear with the way things are going, even drinking cassava flakes which use to the cheapest meal anyone can ever buy is now very pricey.Here is why...http://foodiciary.com/2015/05/hike-in-price-of-food-could-lead-to-drinking-cassava-flakes/

Please can you give me a list or idea of prices like from the simple restuarants and also fresh food market prices for Yams, rice, vegetables and fruits?
thanks..

How d service cheifs go fat bele and puffy faces while the president is slim like groundnut and garri lifestyle? And to think of the stories that soldiers were sent into battle unequipped and later comdemned to death for leaving the battle for lack of equipment to defend themselves...

The writing is on the wall for all to see.

whats the prices? I am on a budget...
