EgunMogaji2: Oga mi it’s not my fault 
I’ve had two that came and were completely useless. You can’t use a handheld tester to troubleshoot voltage leeks. You need an ohms meter. Which sounds like I’m speaking Swahili. . Ohmmeter / multimeter can also be useless, what is needed is leakage current clamp Meter which is expensive for a typical local electrician . You can troubleshoot this problem with contactless voltage tested if you've one |

Monaboo: Builders and Engineers in the house, I need your suggestion here.
I have a summersible pumping machine that was fixed last year. 1.5 horse power.
Why is it that anytime I try to pump water with NEPA, it does not pump water. Water does not come out.
But if I should use generator to pump, it will pump water and water will be rushing.
What can I do? That's voltage sag. you're even lucky the pump is not yet burnt. The problem is likely due to overload on the local distribution transformer on which you are getting power. If you've 3 phase lines change to another phase or get Automatic Voltage regulator ( at least 5kva) normally called stabiliser to regulate the voltage supplied to the bore hole pump. Or you continue using generator. Note . my advise is based on assumption that the circuit supplying power to your pump is ok , that is wire not undersized. Undersized wire could also be the cause, as it will produce excessive voltage drop on the line especially when voltage is below 200v. Check your service wire also wire supplying power to the borehole |

isaacosas01: Good morning y'all.
Story time.
So last week Wednesday (12.04.2023), I received a call from a guy and he told me that he in the airport with my item and he is bringing it to my address.
I told him to go ahead, he proceeds to tell me that they are some charges i will pay o, i asked how much and this guy told me 10,850, I immediately knew something was wrong, so i asked him to come with receipt.
Two hours later around 12noon, baba came with my item to my office and with a sort of receipt (the image is below). He asked for my copy of my ID, i played him and told him that i didn't have my ID with me and asked him to come the next day - there was no way i was going to pay over 10k to pick up from aliexpress. As soon as he left me, i immediately email Nipost and they responded that my item arrived Marina PO since 6.4.2023. So apparently this guy goes to the post office, pick up item and calls the owners and lies to them and extort them.
He called the next day and i told him, i didn't have the amount he asked for. I told him i can only give him 2k, he agreed and when he came the next day i eventually gave him 1,500. Be careful guys, na rippers full everywhere oo.
The guy was just was just lying ehen. When i told him to return it to the PO, he told me it was not possible that there is no PO for it, that he was bringing it from the airport that if i don't pay and collect it from him, they would sent it back. The guy man be wan guy another guy man.
I have attached the item which i want to sell self. Eleyigidigan! Nigerian with dubious character! |

Cardify: Hello Iclouduser,
Kindly note that Cardify has two card types, the basic dollar card (Mastercard) and the standard dollar card (Visa), both can be funded with NGN or Stablecoins.
Only the standard dollar card (visa) works with Aliexpress, but you tried to use your basic dollar card instead.
Also, please note that you can easily unload your card to load another card type (at no extra cost) or withdraw. Kindly message our support if you facing any more issue.
Best regards. ^TA Why can't you put this on your app web page, to guide new user |

Every pound you earn, they will take 80% back via income tax, council tax , public transport and energy bills.

The same thing is applicable to other people that did their bvn in other bank be it Firstbank, Access bank, GTB, etc
Hope you understand me. Now for limit exceeded, contact your Visual Dollar card issuer i.e Chipper Cash or Klasha customer care. I have never entered into any UBA bank. I registered BVN through GTB my bank. So this theory is completely false |

I'm seeing limit exceeded using klasha virtual dollar card which is unusual as they claimed one can used it for unlimited online purchase. 3$ purchase on aliexpress failed despited having more than 10$ in the dollar card. They even sent otp from UBA to do verification and still the transaction failed. Allocated account to my klasha wallet is virtual wema account, but otp came from UBA. I don't understand all these nonsense.
