Posting propaganda doesn’t mean anything. Enugu state didn’t even generate ten percent of the figure. States are responsible for any figure it dish out. So any state can post any bogus figure and that’s what Enugu state has done. Enugu state figure purely discredited this list. Enugu has no oil and gas, no industrial nor commercial base, except ogbete and poorly paid civil servants. Please tell us from where the state got such IGR? Do you think people don’t think? Positioning as the economic hub from where to where? What’s the literacy rate, HDI, GDP and VAT of Enugu state compare to Anambra? Enugu doesn’t even have ordinary water. Abeg commmmot here with your propaganda

What doesnt follow your warped views is propaganda? IGR is audited and its not nairaland where you celebrate one road as the widest road in South East. Enugu has 4x IGR of Anambra and this happened under Mbah.

leicestercamper:
You people should stop posting propaganda on this thread? Who told you that Enugu generated 144m? You think people don’t know it’s pure propaganda? What’s in Enugu except ogbete market and poorly paid civil servants? What’s the GDP of Enugu state compare to Anambra? What’s the HDI and VAT of Enugu state compare to Anambra? Propaganda can never develop a state.

IGR: Enugu Leads South East, Ranks 5th Nationally As NBS Releases 2024 Report
By Samuel Anyanwu -October 8, 20250
Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah
FIC Report (Enugu State) – Enugu State has emerged as the highest internally revenue-generating state in the South East and the fifth overall in Nigeria, according to the 2024 Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) Report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The report, published on Monday via the NBS X handle, revealed that the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) collectively generated ₦3.6 trillion in 2024, representing a 49.7 percent increase from the ₦2.43 trillion recorded in 2023.

According to the Bureau, Lagos State maintained its dominant lead as Nigeria’s top revenue earner with a total IGR of ₦1.26 trillion (₦1,261,556,415,048.56). It was followed by Rivers State with ₦317.3 billion, and the FCT with ₦282.36 billion.

Ogun State and Enugu State completed the top five, generating ₦194.93 billion and ₦180.5 billion respectively.

At the lower end of the ranking, Yobe, Ebonyi, Kebbi, Taraba, and Adamawa States recorded the least IGR figures in 2024. Yobe posted the lowest with ₦11.08 billion, followed by Ebonyi with ₦13.17 billion, Kebbi with ₦16.97 billion, Taraba with ₦17.46 billion, and Adamawa with ₦20.29 billion.

The detailed IGR figures released by the NBS are as follows:

Lagos — ₦1,261,556,415,048.56
Rivers — ₦317,303,986,832.38
FCT — ₦282,364,055,025.74
Ogun — ₦194,933,884,872.57

Ebonyi — ₦13,177,829,475.63
Yobe — ₦11,084,367,202.33

Enugu’s strong performance, analysts say, reflects ongoing reforms aimed at expanding the state’s economic base, improving service delivery, and strengthening financial autonomy — positioning it as the economic hub of the South East.

I see you have joined Yoruba IGR mumuism.

Anambra state had low tax rates because it's a commerce oriented state. Peter Obi and Obiano both reduced tax rates and eliminated taxes on may activities and goods to encourage business. IGR is not development, and some people (Anambra governors) believe money is better left in the hands of business than government. Even right now Peter Obi is speaking against Tinubu's taxes. Low tax rates = low IGR.

You people are going to create a type of hell where governors are racing to tax you to death. Stop promoting this yoruba APC nonsense.

Promoting what? I highlighted the fact that oil derived revenue or FAAC is a huge windfall to the state. But all revenue should be used judiciously.

In a better country, ANSG should run its entire operations with IGR and keep FAAC for well thought out capital projects or investments as the Obi administration sought to do.

And stop the yoruba if APC tribalism baiting and face the issue. IGR is low in Anambra not because of any concerted policy to encourage business but because of the primitive level of tax collection. Enugu, Kaduna improved their tax systems and generate much higher IGR than Anambra. Enugu generated 4x Anambra in 2024 with 144b. Kaduna generated 70b in the same year. Their tax authorities are sophisticated operations not the agbero system of Anambra.

Anambra government need to be more transparent and more responsible in their activities. Before one could find audited statement of accounts of ANSG online. Now you only get the Auditor Generals reports.

Ofodirinwa:
do you have any evidence that they are interested in self enrichment or do you think baseless accusations are sense? The article is about how the SE governors are doing well and increasing their standards. There are examples in the write up. You then counter by calling them theives, no examples, then you post the economic center of the whole country of malawi which doesn't even look better than Enugu.

We have to stop the baseless insulting of anyone in power. We have had several performing governors and leaders. 100% of them have been called theives. If you're performing and people are going to insult you regardless, why perform?

Its not insult for citizens to ask what the state government is doing with huge oil derived revenue and taxes it receives year in and year out because to the naked eye of any observer there is a huge difference between that and what you see on ground.

For example, Anambra State has received the following sums of revenue:

2023 - 185.4b (36.2b)
2024 - 372.2b (42.9b IGR)
2025 H1 - 170b est

That's a total of 727b to date.

Now when you look at some of the projects on Anambras e-procurement site you see blatant contract inflation and in budgets as highlighted by FIJ

https://www.eprocure.bpp.an.gov.ng/

https://fij.ng/article/anambra-awards-n386m-in-contracts-to-firm-that-was-6-days-old-at-bid-closure/

In response ANSG shut down the website citing "maintenance". So much for "transparency":

https://fij.ng/article/after-fij-story-on-contract-irregularities-anambra-closes-procurement-portal-for-maintenance/

The latest IMF report openly talks about the scale of theft of public resources in Nigeria at all levels. So its not an insult. People should be vigilant in monitoring the state governments use of public monies.

Eboofa:
We are losing it and losing it fast! What am i talking about? Nigerians no longer know the difference between what is base and whats outstanding! We no longer know what basic decency is.......our moral compass has gone awry and its affecting everything we do! Whilst there has been a noticeable improvement in governance in the southeast.......yet from the quality of projects in Anambra state its quite obvious that we still have a lot of work to do.........lots of work! I am not surprised that malawi is getting a makeover........Malawians are born hustlers, they will give nigerians a run for their money in terms of hardwork! The US visa lottery pushed a lot of them into the United states and they look for money like their lives depended on it.........they also have a ruthless even wicked streak to their hustle! the key thing is that their government is really maximizing the remittances from abroad Malawians...........unlike nigeria where our oil resources have been wasted and looted, loans collected have been wasted ....now taxes from import duty and PAYE tax is being systematically looted according to the IMF annual report!

I love the roads being dualized by Soludo but its quite clear the standard is somehow sha..........again we go back to the lack of capacity in our civil service, especially in the areas of town planning and environment! Even with enhanced IGR , i doubt the anambra civil service can take us to Blantyre level.........6 months after the completion of the lighthouse govt seat in Awka........they are yet to plant proper lawns and enuff shade and ornamental trees in the seat and home of the governor.......I tire men!

That's not even their capital. Google lilongwe. We tend to talk too much in Nigeria and boast with our mediocrity. Yet the facts of our underperformance are stark and evident. Nigerian government can't organize electricity, its airline is dead, its refineries comatose, its telecom bankrupted, its postal service a mockery, its roads death traps, its schools cattle sheds.

Anambra built a government house which it promotes as the single greatest achievement of the incumbent governor. A collection of basic looking buildings is seen as a symbol of achievement not something complex and awe inspiring.

It builds standard roads and trumpets this as an achievement. Not as a responsibility.

Its October go and look at Harare and Pretoria on Google Images. The beautifully laid out streets are lined by purple flowering jacaranda trees that bloom in October. That's foresight, design.

Go ask what happened to the flame trees planted by the colonialists along some of the roads in Onitsha or the mango trees planted along old road. Old Enugu road is now defined by primitive markets spilling onto the streets and thousands of keke and shuttles weaving carelessly down it. No single bus stop. No single governor has thought of running a public bus service connecting Awka to Onitsha via all the adjoining towns to make movement easy and comfortable.

Cities should not be village extensions. Three quarters of our cities are unpaved, lack proper drainage and signage. Obiano at least tried to give streets sign posts but what happened to them? Another administration claiming circular economy allowed abokis to go on a rampage with carts singing iron kwandem. Most of those sign posts are now nowhere to be seen. Sold off by a poor gang allowed to roam wild by government.

Other people choose order and law not groveling in chaos and filth and calling that civilization. India is a bad model for anyone but that accommodation of anyhowness is what Nigeria has gravitate towards.

For us as igbos the tragedy is that Nigeria is almost certainly on its way out. FAAC is pathetically tiny for a nation of 240m. Anambra a state of 6-8m has a budget per capita of less than $40 per person or 60,000 naira per person. Therefore how public money is spent matters tremendously.

A New Dawn in Southeast Nigeria: From Neglect to Quality Development

In recent years, a significant change has taken place in the governance and development approach of Southeast Nigeria. The governors of the region are now embracing a new mindset, one that prioritizes quality, aesthetics, and lasting impact in public infrastructure. Unlike in the past, when many projects in the Southeast were poorly executed and far below the standards seen in other parts of the country, today’s projects are beginning to reflect modern standards and a vision of excellence.

Previously, public buildings, roads, and facilities in the Southeast were often constructed with a "village standard" mentality—shoddy workmanship, poor planning, and a lack of attention to beauty or long-term use. This led to infrastructure that not only looked inferior but also did not serve the people effectively. Many citizens felt that their region was being shortchanged, especially when they compared their facilities to those in other parts of Nigeria.

However, the Southeast governors are now proving that the region can deliver world-class projects too. I would rate Gov. Peter Mbah, Gov. Alex Otii, and Prof. Charles Soludo as the new visionary leaders of the region who have clearly departed from the old mentality of our leaders that anything in the southeast should be sub-standard. We now see government buildings with proper designs, dual-carriage roads built to last, and public spaces thoughtfully planned and landscaped. Landscaping, in particular, has become a noticeable new trend. Green spaces, flowers, street lighting, and decorative features are being used to beautify cities and towns, adding a sense of pride and modernity to the environment.

This positive shift shows that the leaders of the Southeast are starting to see infrastructure not just as a necessity but as a reflection of identity and ambition. By building quality projects and making cities beautiful, they are sending a message: the Southeast deserves the best, just like any other part of Nigeria.

If this new direction continues, it will not only improve daily life for residents but also attract investment, tourism, and greater respect for the region. The governors are finally showing that development in the Southeast can be both functional and beautiful—and that is a change worth celebrating.

The south east cities and infrastructure can be a lot better if Igbo governors were not in the business of self enrichment with improving the welfare of their citizens an after thought. Because if they were then what you would see on ground, after billions in faac revenue, are cities approximating places like blantyre, malawi with good planning and decent infrastructure not India 2.0 where everywhere stinks of haphazard design and corrupt tendering and procurement.

For example, contrast roads built by state and federal. The federal roads designed and built by federal contractors follow road codes to a T. The Enugu-Onitsha expressway has emergency lanes, crash barriers and proper signage. But state roads or the ones constructed by the state? They dont follow codes and are full of engineering mistakes all over the place because they were designed and awarded improperly. The ramps built by obiano is a classic example. The underpass is a traffic nightmare instead of alleviating traffic. The footbridge built by Obi at unizik junction has some of its pillars on the expressway. Soludo is not left out. His geniuses at ministry of works put speed barriers on an expressway basically turning the expressway into a local road!

But there's more. You look at simple basics like town planning. Only Ngige had the sense to relocate markets to places they could be walled off to prevent their natural tendency to interfere with traffic that basically were turning Onitsha into chaos. But his successors? They can't even organize basic markets in the state. Instead they award more contracts to organizations like Atma who revel in turning the front faces of markets into theaters of chaos in order to collect numerous under the table taxes from illegal hawker fees, illegal keke loading bribes.

Not for them thoughts for how to create new organized markets or introduce city wide public bus system or sufficient bus parks of parking. These would make cities more livable and alleviate the hardships of common folk.

Then they market projects with questionable ROI. Multi billion naira airports that barely transport 500 people a day and multi billion government houses that barely house more than 5,000 people.

Anambra has received over $2 billion over the past 25 years. There is very little on ground to suggest that even a quarter of that or $500m has been dedicated to vast infrastructural investments. Instead, a lot less has been spent with praise singers posting pictures of one or two developments and singing it to high heavens. For a wakeup call go see what Blantyre, Malawi looks like and that's a very poor African country.

57,000,000 (it’s an all in one).

Considering 10kwh battery is $1,500, then 100Kwh should cost around $15,000. The 200kw inverter should cost around $10,000. Then accessories another $2,000, cabinet $1,000. At most everything should not cost more than $30k or 45m naira.

Eboofa:
The only person whining here is YOU ! Lagos has tremendous geostrategic advantages over Anambra state...that is why YOU live there,,,,along with the wealthiest and most educated Anambra people! Hello ! wake up and smell the coffee! Anambra has to play to its strenghts........we cannot wake up and expect to take on lagos...a former national capital, home to 20 million people and location of 4 seaports and counting........are you kidding me!

Bros ! manufacturing is good but I do not believe thats our area of absolute dominance! neither is it in agriculture! we dominate in distributive trade.......let us wring out as much benefit from that area..........from the benefits therein we can build up other sectors! Soludo's Anambra Mixed use district project is a good one but he really needs to sell that to ndi anambra, that project has a bit of what both of us are sayin..........by the way commerce and trade employs far more ndiAnambra than industries............The trade fair in lagos contains at least 30,000 stall and shops............Lagos state does not want it demolished, they want control of the market in terms of tax collection! They want to levy 100,000 naira per shop per month.....all multiplied by 30,000 shops.....DO THE MATH sir !

Lagos is a sthtty city. No drainage, overpopulated, unplanned. Lagos is an island of wealth in a sea of poverty. The census fashola did in 2010 found 70% of Lagosians did not have plumbing.

Lagos is nobody's competition. Benin Republic built a port and runs it better than Lagos. Ogun built industrial layouts, industries abandoned Lagos.

Nothing stops any state from distributing or manufacturing. Its not about building inland ports but the infrastructure for distribution which is roads, rail, warehouses and trailer parks. Chicago is the logistics center of USA and it's inland but has everything but seaport.

I am sick of my fellow igbos whining while our governors do nothing. Anambra has invested little or nothing in industrialization. Not power, not water, not trailer parks, not planned industrial areas. Ogun has three or four industrial layouts with gas supply. We rely on the ancient and tiny harbor industrial layout whose entry road is narrow and packed with trailers. We don't have serious governors.

Nigeria as a whole is full of stupd leaders. Just travel round Africa you will not see mediocrity like Nigeria. When they build cities it looks like cities not village extensions. Go look at Dar Es Salaam, Nairobi, Dakar, Abidjan and contrast with the low IQ Nigerian politician who only Sabi Lexus jeep and expensive clothes.

Eboofa:
If you know the amount of petrol that leaves nigeria,,,,,you will not make that assertion! Comparing lagos to southeast is absurd........where do you begin to make the comparisons! You cannot build anything on nothing...............no matter how lofty your industrializtion dreams maybe ....the foundation for a solid take off of industry is wobbly at best............building it will take a lot of time, whilst waiting to improve power and transport infrastructure ....let us go after the low hanging fruits!

Enugu has started with tourism and lifestyle as their unique selling point..............Abia is doing a lot with low intesity industries based on Geometric power...........Even perpetual laggards and arguably the richest Igbo state Imo....is pushing power and oil and gas and of course their oringo tourism...........What is the unique selling point of anambra as a state? I have said it that we can grow our tax pot by growing our economy immediately by pushing our strength in commerce,Logistics ( ware housing and distribution) and also medical tourism and pharmaceuticals!

Soludo should pursue his AMIC dream with gusto and detail...we need more info on what the AMIC is all about! As for medical tourism ....we already have some of the best trained medical doctors in africa.......some of the best equipped hospitals, A new hospital in Ojoto to be set up by Anambra US based doctors............Its a pity soludo was not present at any of the heart surgeries done by VOOM and Okwuosa foundations........the foundations carry out more than 50% of open heart surgeries done in the nation today!

We need to stop whining and complaining before it becomes the mark of the igbo race.

The reality is that since 1999 Anambra has received over 2.5 trillion in FAAC allocation and over 500 billion in IGR. So funds have been there for development.

Soludo now rounding up his first term has received over 450 billion naira between 2022-2024 and a further 150 billion from Jan - Jun 2025. That is 600 billion in three years plus and that is more than enough to transform the state beyond just building roads, installing street lights and building govt house and an amusement park.

Anambra needs real transformation like manufacturing and the government should create the enabling environment. Let foreign investors design industrial layouts not government architects. Lagos Free Trade Zone is being developed by Tolaram a multinational not LASG and it reflects the brainpower.

Anambra should also clean up its cities and make them attractive. Dirty open air markets lined with wooden stalls and barrows and keke riding recklessly is not progress but backwardness. I await the day the state govt puts proper public bus system in place and regulates markets properly.

Until then showing pictures of Emeka Anyaoku Boulevard hides the monstrous chaos of Eke Awka in Awka and Ochanja in Onitsha only for the ignorant.

Eboofa:
Southwest shares boundaries with neighbouring countries...........the downstream oil sector is very opaque......data is not reliable in my opinion, However there is no doubt insecurity has taken a toll on the southeast! The biafra agitation was mishandled by the proponents and opponents but socioeconomic activity is picking up in earnest! Aside all of the above...the southeast is geographically tiny compared to the other regions....so our pms use has to be less!

Which neighboring countries? Benin Republic uses 115m litres per month. Togo uses 24m.

Fact is that petrol demand is correlated to economic activity and wealth. Lagos is as small as Anambra but uses many times more because of economic activity.

We should not make excuses and look for how to grow the economy to be more sophisticated and advanced.

Every indicator whether its power, telecommunications says that we are smaller economically than the likes of Ogun, Oyo, Kano, Kaduna, Delta, Rivers and FCT.

I keep saying we need to have people in government with strategic mindset. The state needs big business and industrialization not people lining along major markets selling garri and bread.

Lagos, Ogun, FCT are highest petrol consumers – FG
20th August, 2025

By
Dare Olawin


Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have been identified as major consumers of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), according to data released by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.

The NMDPRA PMS truckout report for June indicated that a total of 1.44 billion litres of petrol were sent to states. The total truckout showed significant disparities, highlighting the economic and demographic dynamics of the country.

Of the 1.44 billion litres trucked to states, Lagos alone consumed 205.7 million litres, underscoring its status as Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre with a high demand for fuel to power its bustling economy and transportation networks.

This is way higher than the 132.7 million litres consumed by the five states of the South-East within the period under review. Following closely are Ogun and the FCT, with 88.7 million and 77.5 million litres, respectively. Ogun, an industrial zone, is the only Nigerian state bordering Lagos, while Abuja is the seat of power.

Oyo, another state close to Lagos, received 72.8 million litres of PMS in June. Jigawa State recorded the lowest allocation with 9.4 million litres.

It was followed by Ebonyi with 10.5 million litres, Yobe (11.7 million litres), and Bayelsa (11.9 million litres), suggesting regional variations in fuel demand or population.

Regionally, the South-West zone emerged as the top consumer with 452.95 million litres, accounting for nearly a third of the national total. Aside from Lagos, Ogun and Oyo, which took 205.7 million, 88.7 million and 72.8 million litres, respectively, Osun had 35.48 million litres, Ondo got 35.05 million litres, and Ekiti received 15.26 million litres.


The North-Central zone ranked second, with 247.40 million litres distributed. While the FCT led with 77.5 million litres, Niger received 40.7 million litres, Kwara got 34.8 million litres, Benue received 25.7 million litres, Nasarawa used 25.1 million litres, Kogi got 24.1 million litres, and Plateau consumed 19.4 million litres in the sixth month of the year.

It was reported that the North-West consumed 230 million litres in June. Kano led with 68.22 million litres, followed by Kaduna with 43.13 million litres and Sokoto with 37.04 million litres. Kebbi got 30.31 million litres, Katsina received 24.8 million, and Zamfara had 17.04 million, while Jigawa recorded the lowest, 9.4 million litres.

In the South-South, total consumption stood at 224.9 million litres. Delta topped the region with 68.5 million litres, Rivers received 44.6 million litres, and Edo had 43.1 million litres. Akwa Ibom followed with 33.8 million litres, Cross River got 23 million, and Bayelsa had one of the lowest nationwide at 11.9 million litres.

NMDPRA data showed that the North-East accounted for 152.8 million litres of the fuel consumed in June. Adamawa led the zone with 56.9 million litres. Bauchi received 31 million litres, while Gombe and Borno got 19.2 million litres and 18.9 million litres, respectively. Taraba had 15.1 million litres, and Yobe received 11.7 million litres.

The South-East was the lowest consumer with 132.7 million litres. Anambra topped the zone with 40.5 million litres, followed by Imo with 30.6 million litres and Enugu with 27.4 million litres. Abia received 23.7 million litres, while Ebonyi had the second-lowest allocation nationwide with 10.5 million litres.

The figures highlight Nigeria’s uneven petrol consumption pattern, largely driven by population size, vehicle density, and economic activity. It was observed that urban and industrial centres such as Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, Oyo and Kano dominate demand, while sparsely populated states such as Jigawa, Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Yobe consume far less.

According to the NMDPRA Director of Public Affairs, George Ene-Ita, the agency’s submission to the Federation Account Allocation Committee showed that “the total evacuation for June 2025 is 1,440,768,129 litres. The daily average reported is 48,025,604 litres. The average was obtained by dividing the total volume of 1,440,768,129 by the number of 30 days in June.”

Based on the latest figures, PMS supply fell by 290.5 million litres, from 1.77 billion litres in May to 1.48 billion litres in June, representing a 16.42 per cent drop. Distribution (truck-out) volumes also plunged by 246.66 million litres, a 14.62 per cent decline over the same period.

Dare

What should this tell anambra government policymakers? 40m litres means Anambra accounts for less than 3% of national petrol demand. Yet they want to build railway. Lol.

Anambra needs to develop its economy and its not with wheelbarrow, keke and shuttle. A lot more industries are needed.

It was observed that urban and industrial centres such as Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, Oyo and Kano dominate demand, while sparsely populated states such as Jigawa, Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Yobe consume far less.

According to the NMDPRA Director of Public Affairs, George Ene-Ita, the agency’s submission to the Federation Account Allocation Committee showed that “the total evacuation for June 2025 is 1,440,768,129 litres. The daily average reported is 48,025,604 litres. The average was obtained by dividing the total volume of 1,440,768,129 by the number of 30 days in June.”

Based on the latest figures, PMS supply fell by 290.5 million litres, from 1.77 billion litres in May to 1.48 billion litres in June, representing a 16.42 per cent drop. Distribution (truck-out) volumes also plunged by 246.66 million litres, a 14.62 per cent decline over the same period.

Major Upgrade to My Solar Setup (20kW Hybrid System)

I just wrapped up a big upgrade to my solar system. It’s now a 20kW hybrid solar setup — built mainly on traditional off-grid components, but I also added some grid-tie functionality using Deye Micro Inverters in AC-coupled mode.

This project has been in the works for over a year, and there’s a lot going on under the hood beyond just the specs:

IoT & Control: Built a custom system computer using a Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module running Venus OS + Node-RED.

Smart Automation: Created several Node-RED flows to keep the system efficient. One cool one uses the Solcast weather forecast to predict tomorrow’s solar yield and automatically decide whether to allow grid input — and how much.

Monitoring & Dashboard: I switched to Grafana for visualization. The new dashboard gives a detailed view of performance and energy data.

I’m working on a detailed overview (with schematics) to explain how everything is connected. Hopefully, it will inspire anyone looking to build or upgrade their own setup.

MRO sited in Lagos because of difficulties securing land in the Southeast -

Igbo people never wanted to make land available for construction of multi million dollars MOR facility in either Enugu or Anambra. The Chairman of Air Peace airline, Chief Allen Onyema, has accused Ndigbo of being resistant to development of their territory, in the south east.


Onyema's allegation came after an allegation by certain Igbo people that he (Onyema) left the south east to situate a multi million dollars Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Lagos instead of the south east.

Onyema washed his hands off the allegation, stating that it were the same Igbo people who never wanted to make land available for construction of the facility in either Enugu or Anambra.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, recently, flagged off the commencement of the construction of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, which sparked the allegation against Onyema.


When the project is completed, Nigerian airlines, the presidential fleet, and the Nigeria Air Force fleet would no more ferry their aircraft to overseas facilities for major checks, which gulps a lot of foreign exchange.

The facility will save Nigerian domestic carriers about N360 billion worth of foreign exchange annually, as Air Peace alone spends about N180 billion on maintenance in one year. The facility will create approximately 50,000 jobs and will be situated on a vast 34,000 square meter land at the Lagos airport.


The MRO will also attract airlines from West and Central Africa, other parts of the world to bring their aircraft to be maintained here in Nigeria and thus bring in foreign exchange because such facility is in high demand all over the world.

Reacting to the accusation against him, Onyema said that he made every effort to site the project in the south east but was agreed to buy any land for the project that is taking 34,000 square meters of land.

He rejected the accusations by citizens of the South-East that he neglected his home base in citing the billion-naira MRO at Lagos Airport instead of Enugu or Anambra Airports.

He said that Air Peace was frustrated out of its original intention to site the project at Enugu Airport after approval by the Enugu State Government and investment of millions.

Onyema said, “On the Enugu thing, please check some news stories during the government of Governor Ugwuanyi. I visited the state officially several times, held meetings with the governor and his cabinet on my intention to be given land to build this MRO that, by God’s grace, will become the biggest in Africa on completion.

"Our intentions were announced. In fairness, the Governor truly wanted. However, the usual intrigues and selfish interests from unknown others thwarted our intentions. No one gave us the land. Some families started claiming ownership of some lands anticipated to be given to us. Airport land! The conflicts started. All my shuttles to Enugu came to nothing. I was pained.

"At the Anambra Airport, I paid for land for the MRO facility. I paid over N100m for land there. The next thing was some community and families warning me that the land at the airport belonged to them. That the state government had no right to even build the airport without their permission!

I moved on. The land is still there. I believe the time has come for Igbos to look in the mirror and see who their true enemies are. When they gaze into the mirror, the real enemy will be staring back at them. Let us, as a people, undertake self-examination before we start complaining!

"We moan a lot about everything, blaming everyone, every other tribe, except ourselves! We are destroying the Igbo land ourselves while blaming others."

I had sent the pack back to him 3 times before. Within a week of getting it. It did the same thing, I sent it back. A few weeks later, same issue. In one occasion, I even sent it back from the motor park because the BMS will not come on!!! From the motor park o!!

Later the guy started giving me attitude and made up my mind not to contact him again.

I have since moved on and getting packs I need from other people.

Recently got 3 packs from Valto, no issues. I have gotten 5 from him without issues

Moral of the story. Choose DIY carefully. Assembling is a small part of the story. Design, testing, support, warranty is 90% of engineering.

Please, can anyone explain why tubular batteries are almost as expensive as LFP batteries in Nigeria, whereas outside the country, they are mostly one-third the price of LFP? Is there something I'm missing or am I looking at misleading data?

Shipping cost due to weight. A 220a 12v tubular battery weighs around 70kg. A 200a 12v lifepo4 battery weighs around 20-25kg.

Good day everyone

I am using Powmr 4.2 hybrid and Haisic 25.6v black one, grid was on (charging was going on too), and supplying the house (load was lights and fridge), suddendly i heard a sound and power was off. Went where my setup was, saw inverter in error mode. Error 9 (bus soft start failed), battery shut down (battery is still shut down, not on)

Please what is the way foward? Location is Benin. Please

Please note my system is well protected With all necessary protection. It was not rainy, just normal grid usage (AC bypass mode) with less than 200w loads.

Google is your friend. Do a search on that error code and powmr inverter. Answer is detailed.

Trump made the right choice, no other country will allow such scam.

The so called skilled workers bring certificates of schools that don’t exist, and most of them take sales jobs, are sales persons difficult to find in America?

They can still bring skilled workers in but there has to be a level playing field for Americans to compete.
These are the pays in southeast US.
CIO - $225k
CISO - $200k
Architect - $180k
Security engineer - $150k

If employers pay 100K to the govt and pay between $40k - $100k to the skilled workers, they will still save between $10k - $25k. How is this not enough if they’re not greedy? The choice is theirs.

The average salary on H1B is $138,000. 65% of people on the H1B are in the computer industry. Most people that transition to H1B are students.
Its going to cause a massive drop in F1 Visa applications especially for those who saw education as a route to migrate into the US. There are over 1m international students in the US.

NNA, IF IT IS LIKE THIS LET US JUST REMAIN IN NIGERIA AND KEEP DEVELOPING LAGOS AND ABUJA.


I THOUGHT IGBO PEOPLE HAD SENSE.

Don't worry about chino typing from his unpainted one room self con in Port Harcourt about Anambra. We will look beyond propaganda and tell the truth.

Let govt folks continue turning Anambra into another Indian hovel with barrow, keke, iron kwandem wandering the streets like cattle. This is Soludos Dubai Taiwan. Primitivity on display.

Eboofa:
Hate or love him ! Soludo scored a hat trick and hit the bull's eye with construction and proposed construction of the dualized Awka-Ekwuluobia-Uga road, the Agulu-nnewi- Okija dual road.........and now dualization of Ekwuluobia-Oko-Ufuma road and lastly the Ekwuluobia-Igbo Ukwu-nnobi-nnobi dualized road...( I hope he extends this last road to nkpor)!

with the completion of these contracts all our major towns have been connected seamlessly........now anambra state can now truly feel like a small state!

That's his only achievement. But you know what makes economies great? Cities. Building a road from London to Newcastle is nice but better is building London itself.

Cities are living complex forms of human organization. If you dont get transport, power, water, sewage, drainage, waste and planning right you end up with a GHETTO. Anambra Cities are badly planned. Government provides little to nothing and it shows with the filth and chaos and primitivity. Civilization is built on order and science not what you see in Nigeria.

Born and brought up in Utuh community,Nnewi south LGA

Went to the prestigious Master's Vessel Seminary,Osumenyi owned by Diocese of Amichi Anglican Communion.

You should check history of who you're talking with because you're not more Anambra than me.

We're making intelligent argument here based on reality and facts not apga propaganda or dick measuring

One doesn't debate with a madman. Ekwulobia is a community of villages. It is not a city by any definition of the term which is population density, complex infrastructure and systems.

Soludo is certainly slipping. He started off well but he surrounds himself like a village headmaster with people who have done little. Minus roads and interventions in health and education what can soludo claim as his achievements?

Transport - total rubbish with keke, shuttle, barrow, iron kwandem and urchins from abakaliki and nsukka making a mess of urban areas

Industry - Obiano built shoe cluster at oba. Soludo? Amusement Park. ICC is a mockery with unfinished parking.

Agriculture - What has he done? Nothing.

Sports - Awka Stadium field falling apart from lack of maintenence. Onitsha stadium completely derelict

Markets - a mess from Onitsha to Nnewi to Awka. Thousands of shops with little water infrastructure and toilet facilities.

Environment - Anambra has gone back to dropping bins at areas and taking time to evacuate waste.

Street lights - majority of the solar lights installed by Soludo are dead showing his record in awarding contracts to unqualified companies.

Security - The less said the better.

Update from the ongoing construction of Awka mega mall - the biggest east of the Niger

Its not the biggest mall East of the Niger. Here are the sizes of other malls in the East:

Garden City Mall, Port Harcourt - 29,000 SQM
Polo Park Mall, Enugu - 22,530 SQM
Spar Calabar Mall, Calabar - 17,000 SQM
Spar Port Harcourt Mall, Port Harcourt - 16,000 SQM
Ikenga Mall, Awka - 15,000 SQM
Spar Enugu Mall, Enugu - 14,000 SQM
Onitsha Mall, Onitsha - 12,000 SQM
Owerri Mall, Imo - 8.686 SQM

Reports coming out suggest that the Afriland Towers Fire was started in the INVERTER ROOM.

"According to the Federal Fire Service team leader from Ebute Metta, Mr Ehimen Momoh, the fire started from an inverter battery in the basement and spread to a parked Toyota Sienna and a motorcycle, both of which were completely burnt. Other vehicles in the basement were, however, saved."

Its very important that if you are installing solar systems to get EXPERIENCED installers who calculate load, wiring sizes and use fuses, breakers properly. Ensure that you also install smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.

This thing go cost!

How much e be?

Na firesale. Twenty k for the pair.

FEGEITOK:
My neighbor is asking that |I supply them power from my alternative to AEDC.

Please recommend a cheap but functional meter that I can use to ensure that I can monitor their consumption if anyone has been through this situation before.

Do we have it in the country or will I have to import?

I have two ABB meters I used for something like this. Very rugged. Drop your digts.

Good morning

Please I want to ask, can the Powmr 4.2KW hybrid inverter paired with the Haisic 25.6v Battery carry a 1.5HP Submersible pump.

Can it work? What are the conditions for it to work if it will?

Thanks for the contribution.

Please I need input on this matter. Thanks

Your 4.2KW inverter can handle a surge of 2x or around 8400W. You should check the starting current of the 1.5hp pump from its spec sheet to see if it is under this. Then also check whether that kind of surge can be handled by your battery. A 4x starting current means that your 25.6V Haisic battery must be able to discharge anywhere up to 200A. The Haisic 8KWh battery for example can discharge only up to 150A.

fuckboys:
you want to sell this battery? Make I come dm?

Haisic 8KWH is actually 280AH x 25.6 = 7,168W or 7.17KWH. Shouldn't buy batteries where the manufacturer deliberately mislabels the actual capacity. Who knows what other shortcuts they took.
