MrOkenwa:
I think the govt and the discos need to beam their lights on the activities of these CDAs.
I was told we’ll pay 250k(recently increased from 150k) to connect to the national grid.
Now, Mr Chairman has decided to flex his muscles by telling us that we will have to pay 750k because we have 3 buildings on the property. And these folks do anything they want as far as connecting to their community grid is concerned. They disconnect people when they so wish.

Discos can't do anything because the electricity was installed with communal effort and there's also gross irresponsibility on their part as well. They don't replace transformers or shoulder any maintenance responsibility except it's on the transmission lines to their substation or that affects a large portion of their distribution network and I believe you know this already. That said, there's no justification for asking you to pay 750k for connecting 3buildings on the same land area. 250k should suffice and I think you can challenge him with the estate constitution if nothing of such is written therein

This is where the Prepaid Metre campaign should go a long way, at my area, we do not bother calling them when the transformer goes of they all switch to Gen, the Disco on their own come and fix it cos they lose revenue after 3 days. The so-called Prepaid credit sellers are the ones disturbing the Discos on our behalf

Baba running generator these days is a tall order considering fuel price. We have prepaid where I live but we still have to pay them or at least buy replacement parts on our own because waiting on them can take months to get sorted.

This disco whatever don't want to shoulder anything, the breaker of my prepaid meter got burnt few weeks ago, I visited their office back and forth for good 4 days with no reasonable outcome, I had to sort it out from another source. Bought the breaker and had one of their Engr to come fix it. Till this moment there isn't any call from them to ask if I I'm home so they can come fix it. Imagine if I was still waiting on them... very unreasonable group of company.

Hello what size of kitchen goes for the two prices you quoted? what's the total linear meter?

The pictures you attached seem like a open plan one-side kitchen, is that the type that goes for that price range?

Thanks



Good Evening Sir. So sorry for the very late response, just seeing this.
The Total linear meter for that price is 9.

Not just open kitchen, but any other type as well.

Each of the two prices depicts a particular Quality. The Lesser price represents: Normal standard quality (HDF) while the higher price represents a : Higher quality (HDF high gloss)

Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other physical structures. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, from engineering and construction to aesthetics and history. Architects are responsible for creating functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing buildings that meet the needs of their clients. They must consider a variety of factors when designing a building, including the site, the climate, the local culture, and the function of the building. Architecture has a rich history dating back to ancient times, and continues to evolve and influence the way we live and work today.

We bought a land in 2020 with the necessary documents, only for some people to come last month to say the land belong to their father because he bought it in 1976.

How can the same land have different land surveys?

I just weak since.

What documents do you have on the land? And what documents do they have?
What is the size of the land they claim?
Land use act 1978 vests all land in the state.
For info call 08069018449

They didn't tender the document they have, they merely specified in the court summon letter that they have the survey they did in 1990 and the stamp duty to back up for the fact, and the agreement with the seller (Let's use MR A as the seller).

The person we got it from bought thr land from the true land owners, the actual family (those that owns the whole village)/as far back as 20years ago and they also have the survey, agreement and co to back it up. After MR A died, MR A's family and lawyer said the whole area belongs to their father and that people should repurchase the land or risk losing it. So the people we bought it from paid another money for the land to late Mr. A's family.


So that's it.

Most equipment starting current always double of running current ... Most of all these inverter are truly the rating written on their body. Your 2.5KVA might be 2KVA

Don't think it's possible. Using 2.75kva with a low power 0.5hp pump consume 51% of the inverter power. The inverter always makes noise whenever we pump.
