The problem with suspicion is that it must be satisfied with the truth.

You have to stealthily know whats going on. Check her phone, stalk her, hire a private eye etc . Make sure she doesnt know.

Abagworo:
Typical Nigerian. Did you completely read what you quoted?

Go back and read this concluding part

" This is with exception to rail overpasses or
highway intersections. "

How many flyovers in Nigeria are overbuildings, parks, mershlands or what ever other less likely reason there is for flyovers.

Basically, flyovers in Nigeria are built on highway intersections and over rail lines. It makes no sense that you made a statement but exempting the basics. Its like saying food is useless to humans, except hungry humans. Of course every human must eat so food is absolutely important and it makes no sense to say food is useless.

In the same vein, a flyover is absolutely important no matter the cost, there is no way to avoid it as you seem to suggest. Infact, a flyover over a rail line is technically a bridge. Flyovers are basically for intersections to eliminate conflicts as much as possible.

Abagworo:
Flyover is no sign of development but evidence of unplanned urbanization. If there is a way to avoid construction of flyovers it remains a better option to save funds. This is with exception to rail overpasses or highway intersections.



Almost all States in Nigeria have flyovers or overpasses built by FG. Maybe you mean the ones built by individual States.

The bolded is absolutely untrue. You cannot avoid an intersection in road construction. The best and only way to avoid an intersection is flyover. Every intersection with traffic light is a potential flyover. The only thing that differenciates one intersection with the other is traffic volume.

egunmogaji, pls is 4" strip foundation good for a 5bdrs bungalow
I

His reply didnt give you a definite answer so i will volunteer to give some advise.

Pad foundation is good for a 5bdr bungalow, strip is equally good, infact raft or pile foundation is the best for a 5bdr bungalow.

However, the soil of the plot is the determining factor of which type of foundation is suitable. So, your question makes no sense without details of the soil. If you had attached a picture of the site, it would have been easier for any engineer to estimate appropriately.

Black cotton soil is a nightmare to engineers, i have no idea if you are planning on building on one. So i cant tell what you have.

Zizicardo:
it is either sesan or maleek

I just hope it is either of the 2 but if it aint, kai, she fall hand.

And who will arrest this VIO in Asokoro, Abuja.

Atleast the Road safety had some of its lights functioning. This VIO car is completely not road worthy.

In 2016, i have listen to wizkid's songs countless of times. I would download his new songs immediately i hear news of it.

I cant remember visiting Linda's blog this year. How many people do and for what? When real news isnt there.

I have no respect for her or who she is. I atleast awknowledge the legitimate talent and success of Wizkid. Linda's success na big I assume some illegal shite.

Attention seeker. He has so far been ignored but has decided to transform himself to the victim.

Very soon Fayose will go hug transformer.

If u get more a hundred likes, I will go out on a date with you. (Distance isn't a barrier)

He has 400+, i guess you have to fvck him/her now. Distance is not a problem but your word is.

Eddygourdo:
You marriage is very young and being that you never had the fine tuning phase during courtship. You both are having it now. Too bad he is pulling away while you are pulling closer and it's frustrating you.

You need to do the reverse affection method, pull away in character too. I don't mean emotionally, but it's a game to get his attention. Whenever he smiles at you frown and be disinterested though give him Wat he wants. Ignore him alot and give him the cold shoulders without it being very obvious. Continue thus till you have his attention and he starts asking you Wat the problem is.

Even when he asks, tell him nothing. Give him more cold shoulders and hide ur cheerfulness. This character if it drives him nuts then it's proof he loves you and was going through a phase

Give him more cold shoulders till he gets angry at ur behaviour and flips out. It only then that you table his offences to you. Hopefully you both would have a heart to heart talk and he would open up to you on what u is killing him

This is a fine tuning phase and if handled properly will pass, making ur marriage stronger

I like this, in other words, let him know that he is hurting you. Am sure he doesnt what that.

On the other hand, i think he is a reserved person naturally which the op realised with his siblings but didnt expect him to extend it to her.

My wife thinks i ignore her too, but whenever i want to watch a movie for instance she is chatting. I just give her the hand to stop talking but it annoys her. So i resorted to using headphones but no, she talks when she knows i cant hear her. She gets angry and removes it from my ears. She is the type who is quite outside or with new people but talks too much at home most times repeating what i know or what is obvious.

I have learnt to tolerate my wife for things i love but she hates. Op should find out if she is just being too intrusive or provoking. She should also learn to talk to him about her problems, let him have the chance to express what is in his head before a rash decision that could break this early fragile marriage..

This one happened 10mins ago.

We just drove to my parents street. Before turning into the street, another car was approaching so i waited for him to pass before making my turn. I didnt know the car too was waiting for me as he was driving into the opposite street. The car was a worn out 504 saloon.

I still allowed the car go before me and as it passed, guess what my 4yr old (today is his bday) boy said, "see this old car". Even our house help couldnt help but laugh out loud.

Anyways, as i told my mum what just happened she told me of a little gathering they had in my my aunts house. My aunts grandchild was very active.

Every one waa eating and drinking. My nephew would go round and seeing anyone who doesnot have water, he will go get a bottle of water and put at the table. Who ever has 5alive, he will bring coke or fanta, who ever has coke or fanta, he brings water. When every body had finish eating, he said,"since all of you have finish eating, go out, i want to close the door".

ifenadi:
I am looking for a way to wire my inverter system to National grid in such a way that some parts of the home get uninterrupted power from the inverter when the NEPA fails.

When there is NEPA, it will charge my batteries via inverter and supplies current to all appliances in the home.

When there is no NEPA, only the portion of the home which are connected to inverter gets powers as I don't want to connect heavy load appliances like fridge and AC to inverter.

This diagram actually serves the purpose perfectly.

My only concern now is that if I decide to replace the power supply with generator as NEPA can fail sometimes.
When you look at the diagram, you will noticed that somehow, the neutral output of the inverter is connected to the input. A neutral is always a neutral and serves to return current no matter how it is connected. Now in the case of generator, what if somehow, the live wire and the neural is swapped(which always occur becuase most times we just insert two wires inside generator's output without considering the polarity), will this diagram still work? Will there be any damage to the inverter?

Please gurus, I need your views

Dont take anything am about to say as the facts but as my 2 cents.

Most home A/C appliances that i have seen tolerate live and neutral exhange. The inverter i expect to work fine.

The only thing that is dangerous is that only the live is usually fused, as such anything could happen to your inverter or other appliances. The risks are too much foe you to make such mistakes.

The only thing missing from the diagram is the need for a second distribution box for supplying inverter live to selected points.

My parent's house is under construction and i have gone back to install a smaller DB for inverter loads. This DB was wired in such a way that it is easy to isolate any room or section of the house by simply switching of its MCB. Eg. Guest room MCB is always off till needed. All ceiling fans and interior lighting points are powered from the inverter DB and only 2 sockets at TV sockets of the 2 living area. In the living rooms and dinning where there are 2 light sources (chandelier and wall ligthing units, only one of the 2 is on inverter and the other to main DB.

spinola:
2* 12v 200AH = capacity 200AH when connected to a 24 volt Inverter, because you have to connect the batteries in series to double the voltage

1* 12v 200AH = capacity 200AH when connected to a 12 volt inverter

if the same appliance is used in both let say 30w light, 2* 200AH connected in series to a 24 volt inverter will last exactly the same time as one 200AH connected to a 12v inverter in ideal conditions

https://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/battery-bank-tutorial.html

I got confused when i saw your post but thought harder using P=IV.

2*200Ah in series is 24V 200Ah which will give 4800wh
While
1*200AH will give 2400wh

A 30w light bulb will run (4800÷30)= 160hours on the 2 batteries while the same bulb will run (2400÷30)=80hours which is exactly half of the back up time.

Of couse, ideal conditions applies on both instances.

If given 2*100Ah in series which will be 24V 100Ah, power will be 2400wh which should last same time with a single 200Ah battery.

MrDavidson:
It's better than PDP's way of "It's a family affair, we'll settle it", and in the process, sweeping many evil under the carpet. Disciplining erring members is not a crime, it helps to set things in order.

Unfortunately, alot of Nigerians view the PDP's way of doing things the norm and right way. People are so ignorant that the change Nigeria truely deserves starts by little actions like this that no matter how influencial you think you are, you can be dealt with. Finally, we can begin to see some equality between the rich and the poor. But no, some Nigerians prefer our leaders continue with impunity at the detriment of the poor.

Am happy a man of Sylva's caliber is suspended, i dont see it as a weakness by APC, but strength which is completely lacken in PDP.

potbelly:
is it me or this is a rip off from sorry by justin bieber

My thoughts exactly

Originalsly:
How is that corruption? A proper business like his should have a storage fee....first 5 days free or whatever and x amount per day after. Heaven knows the history of the car... maybe has blood on it and the agent is just busy trying to make a sale while having him unknowingly store the car.

Who do you think should be charged for the demurrage? The agent who refused to disclose the identity of the client or the client who has no idea where his car is?

If you insist on charging for demurrage then it is only fair to charge the agent because it is he who knows what is happening. It is obvious that the client bought the car and even paid 700k+ for clearing only to decline payment of the paltry balance God knows what. My conclusion is that the agent wants something from the client and was denied so he decided to hold onto the car. If he decided to keep the car for a paltry sum he stands to gain then he pays demurrage until he can amicably settle with the client or refund the client.

Besides, when the agency took the job of clearing the car, did they inform the client of demurrage? If no, why are you insisting on it when it was not a term of the deal.

Originalsly:
Hmmm....only a few days and deemed abandoned....sparking a desperate search for the owner! Shouldn't you be happily charging storage fees? ...something is not right with this picture.

How long do you think they should keep the car before looking for its owner.

We complain Nigerians are corrupt, yet when someone tries to do right same Nigerians make jest.

Someone, after making me deaf with his horn, hurled insults at me, calling me village man, mumu. What was the reason? That i stopped for a red light on a road that wasnt busy most evenings.

Pidggin:
Are you physically attractive?

Indirectly you are telling them divorce is the best solution.

Was he physically unattractive when she married him out of her own volition?

In fact, if my wife thinks she wont have sex with me because am fat (i guess thats what you mean), i will be very pleased to have a divorce.

What ever forced any woman into a marriage, that same thing should keep her in it.

Chukzyfcb:
Abeg what's Ita enang doing? He is the Senior special adviser to the president on national assembly matter.
We also have suleiman abdulrahman who is a special adviser on national assembly matters. These people are the eyes & nose of mr president in the national assembly, if mr president needs details I believe it shouldfirst come from them.....meanwhile is the appropiation deal done in secrecy? If any detail was tampered with, isn't it supposed to be public seeing that the senate house session is always televised live....why ask for details that was debated in public? What are the special advsiers on national assembly doing?

Senate signed a budget after it amended it, its only logical to return the signed budget with details of what amendment they made. Without it the details, only a fool will sign.

slinkky:
The same people complaining and urging the president to sign the budget without him knowing the details of the amendments made by the National Assembly, will be the same people that will call the president a dullard for signing a budget without reading it, if he's to sign it now and some mistakes or fraudulent insertion were to be discovered in the budget after he signed.

Exactly, if he signs without reading, they say he is a dullard who cannot read before writing. If he reads and refuses to sign, they say he is a dullard and cannot understand what he read.

evergreen247:
All this calculations of charging capacity by p=iv is totally wrong brother. charging capacity has nothing to do with voltage, 12v, 24v etc, but has a lot to do with AH of the battery being charged. As AH of battery increases so do the resist to follow of charger current. this means charging 100AH battery is faster than charging 200AH Charge ( coulumb) Q = current Amp * time. that is Q=Ampare* time in seconds. this means is only current rating of charger determine how fast it charges independent of voltage but also heavily depends on opposition to follow of this current per time, that opposition is called resistance of the battery being charged if the Amp of charger is the same. Resistance of battery R=V/I of the battery. So in Ideal world a battery connected in series to increase voltage while AH remain the same will get charged twice faster than battery connected in parallel to increase the AH while voltage remaining the same because the resistance will increase significantly too but where the real world charging scenario come to play is that since this solemnly depends on resistance if the Amp of charger is the same, there are a lot of factors that determines resistance, not only volt/AH of batteries. The wires size, the cell (there is no way the two battery are the same), the electrolyte, temperature of the batteries and of that environment etc. Hope this help a beat.

Thanks, it helps a lot.

I used my logical reasoning to assume somethings but later got it when pros came with details. If you read all comments you would have seen it.

Your comment has added to what have been said especially with regards to P, V, I and R with their relationships. The solution is bolded and the basis to the question i first asked.

Basically, the question was this way;
1. I have an inverter 1.2kva 12v 20A charger with one 12v 200ah battery
2. My friend has 2.4kva 24v 20A charger with two 12v 200ah battery in series.

I initially thought my friend's system would take twice as long as mine to fully charge (assuming resistance is the same and state of charge of batteries are all same).

After all that was said, my current understanding is that the two systems above will have approximately same charging time considering the assumptions made. Hope that is correct.

mokrak:
I have an issue with my mercury 3kva inverter.I usually have nepa light for 12hrs, even though the batteries are fully charged and the indicator show that.the fan of the inverter keeps on humming.is this normal or it was wrongly installed.
Also for my fellow mercury battery users which is better the mercury elite tubular or the mercury deep cell.

I use Mercury inverter. I think Mercury made it so and it is very anoying. However, on 2 rare occassions the fan stopped working even when there was NEPA. On the 2 occassions we had light for like 24hrs non stop.

Its either the fans are inadequate or their processor produces too much heat for the fan to take a break. During charging, i have noticed that the fan actually blows very hot air, so i understand the need to stay on.

saintkeppy:
. No mind am, even calabar topography is hilly & a bit difficult while ph is flat&easy, the only diff. is calabar mono rail is shorter in distance compare to ph city own so therefore the contractual sum is not the same. Wike should put aside political differences & grudges by completin' it to benefit of Rivers people, it will be to his own Glory,quite unfortunate that money spent so far would have been enough to link bonny lsland & other interior riverian areas like opobo/Andoni etc. to port harcourt city.

Can you honestly tell me that the cost of say a 5 bedroom duplex in the heart of PH is exactly same in the heart Calabar.

I am a Civil engineer, it is stange for you to find exactly the same properties of soil in Calabar and PH. Therefore, its not so simple to compare. Besides, the lenght of the PH project is much more. The piers for the monorail in PH is higher. The PH project includes an independant power generating station for the electric trains. There are more stations in PH. Lastly, part of the built up city that will be compensated is incomparable with PH have more value on properties to compensate.

rottennaija:
This man's talks senselessly. Is cross river States topography like Rivers state? Is their land as muddy as Rivers state? Why not probe the project to a certain where the money went? Was the scope of the monorail the same?

Are the designs and detail the same? Are they passing through land or did bridges needs to be built for them if they are crossing the road? These are issues you find out.

Rivers state needs another mode of transportation apart from road to curb their traffic issues. The population is growing faster than roads built. No amount of roads built can do that. This man should put politics aside and do what will eventually bring benefits to the people of rivers state.

This reminds me of a high voltage transmission line proposed between Uyo and Eket in Akwa Ibom state. The cost of construction of the line was N2billion plus but due to corruption and greed by property owners, compensation was well above N4billion twice the amount for the actual construction. Unfortunately, almost N1billion had already been expended on offshore equipment purchase for the line and all lie waste as the project is unrealistic with the cost of compensation twice the cost of the project.

N1billion was wasted but the people sabotaged it. Now, if Wike cannot see a way to make the monorail work and ease the serious traffic issues of PH, then he is already a failed governor. PH is the third biggest city in Nigeria and highly built up. Any new constuction in the city will gulp alot of funds as buildings will go down and huge compensation paid. Its a price for development. Rebuilding or expanding a road is not the same thing as building new road where there was no road before in a city. Alot of politics is confusing alot of people.

It is as saying that 10km road in Sokoto will cost like 10% of the cost of the same road in Rivers (fact). If you dont know these facts its better not to say anything. What wike said is highly unfortunate of a governor.

sanky346:
Am not clear about something? I want to know why people attach higher value to a car with first body as against a car that has been repainted. Most of the tokunbo cars have also be repainted expertly before yet people still refer to them as first body. I have a friend that does car painting work for some dealers and after the autobaking, they sell the cars as firsthand tokunbo yet nobody will ask question about the body but the moment it's a Nigerian used car, the first question will be is it first body. Lots of the cars imported into the country are accidented and worked on. So the question of first body might not even arise in most cases. Just my humble observation

The reason i want first body is because i prefer to do an accurate body work i.e panel beat from the original instead of some shody potty filled jobs that will no look good but just to improve market value of the car.

2ndly and basically, a first body is a true state of the body while you may not know what is under the fresh paint.

Melkizedek:
Is that the true story? That the local manufacturers closed shop because Nigerians "developed too much taste for foreign products".... When the government couldn't give them power for over 40 years, when the price of petrol kept soaring up...and you turned around to blame the victim? Who do you think you are deceiving? Only the two gullibles that gave you a 'like'

I never said the taste for foreign products is the ONLY reason why local industries shut down. Among the reasons is power a mojor one. However, the thread is about forex and imports so the one related in this case is the fact that Nigerians love anything foreign.

I am not blaming the victim especially the middle class to poor. These are the majority of Nigerians and the group who cant afford the luxury foreign products they import. The blame goes to the elite who are the same people who put Nigeria in the disadvantage.

ellechrystal:
And some zombies who know nothing about Economics will come here n type trash, God help us o. This kind president , his policies r killing his citizens,
N he is so non challant about it.
I blame the people who were chanting "CHAINS"
It's not about being victorious after the elections, the real thing is how to maintain the victory
JONATHAN, I no go lie, we miss u
I guess even in defeat, Jonathan is the victor here

Dont you find it strange that Nigeria depends on import for food and without forex, we have food shortage? Is it not a disgrace.

You think a president like Mogabe ia all bad, because he let them suffer instead of openning the borders for every Tom, Jack and Harry to dump anything he wants and the people would just accept.

Nigrians have devrloped too much of a tase for foreign products that we killed local production making us entirely dependent in forex. If you think you know economics, you show know that its better to produce at home. Since we dont want to do it ourselves, the president took a stand. Fix ourselves or die.

Namzy:
Honda has problems that you listed with single loader the only fix is getting a new unit. Spent lots of money repairing before getting a new unit. Unfortunately The 6 loader manual climate i saw was messed up. Had to buy another single loader @ onitsha and hope it lasts for at least a 3 yrs. Been a yr since i bought it. Fingers crossed

True indeed.

No amount of soldering was enough for it. Its blank completely. I have in my budget a 6 loader but will come much later as my hands are filled with bills.
