SillyMods:
I understand your point clearly. The questions remain:

1. Did INEC officials use the e-collation in all polling units?

2. If the above was actually done, isn't it a violation of the Electoral Act which forbids electronic transmission of election result?

3. If #1 above was indeed done, will it be superior to the manual collation and announcing of results which is what the EA recognizes?

4. How would Atiku and PDP have known what's in INEC server without hacking it or compromising INEC and/or indeed tampering with INEC server?

Akingun1990:
No, there is an interphase on the Smart card reader that says E-collation, once you are in this phase you send the total accredited number of voters and ALSO the specific number of each political party votes, Mind you this concluded election, most party were not duly represented on the smart card platform, nonetheless the major contenders I. e PDP and APC were represented and the result ascribed to each political party in conformity with the results obtained from elections broad sheets from polling unit were transmitted to INEC, So I wouldn't know wether INEC sieves the results from accreditation at there back end server.....

Xxpress:
You are wrong. The card reader used in 2015 is different to the one used this year

naijapips04:
So you know that there's an INEC database. Good. when that database data is not tallying with what was announced globally. so INEC would have to show us individual what different collation officers transmitted to them as the result and the disparity between that and what was announced globally as the state results.

slawomir:
Inec is stupid
Card readers that were reading cloned pvc

Don't argue with me because i was an ApO2 in Benin city

Card reader is a scam!!!

naijapips04:
This OP is a big full stop, period.

Information from INEC server were transmitted by the different collation officers and not from the card readers.

APC are jittery already.

Ratello:
Mind you this was the Card Readers used in 2015 unlike the ones deplored for usage in this year's election that can serve dual purposes.

A fan is about 80 to 100w for the regular fans and about 30 to 70w for the rechargeable type. A TV is from 55W (if 32 inch LED) if more the wattage increases, conversely, if less it'd consume less. A deep freezer wattage ranges between 200w to 450w depending on the size, make and model of the freezer and the temperature of the items in it. The freezer draws more current if, for instance, the things inside it are not cold; and the freezer takes less current if already cold.

The favourite low energy bulb ranges from 3w to 20w. I'd assume the lamp you are using is 15w; therefore total power consumption is 45w for the bulbs.

So assuming your total load, I can say you have 300w ( deep freezer) + 100w (fan) + 45w (bulbs) = 445w

You didn't make any mention of the number of hours you plan to use it, so again, I'd assume you want to use it for six hours (between 10am to 3PM)

Energy consumed is 445w x 6 hours = 2670 watt-hours (WH)


If you are running a 24V battery system, i.e. an inverter that needs two 12V batteries to function, to calculate the theoretical number of batteries capacity required we have:

2670wh / 24v

111.25Amps dc per hour draws from the system.

Battery capacity is expressed by how many Amps for how many hours a battery will last - Amp-Hour (A.H.) capacity.


For 6 hours for a 24-volt battery, we will require 111.25 amps DC x 6 hours = 667.5AH


If you are buying 200AH batteries that will be 667.5AH / 200AH = 3.3375 or approximatively four batteries.

I see someone selling 200ah batteries 70k here. Though prices change dependent on make and quality. That means you require 70k x 4 = N280k for batteries.


Now since the calculated energy is 2670wh, you will need some solar panels to replace the 2670wh of power consumed by the devices you run.

A 300watt panel will produce in 6 hours of sunlight 300*6 = 1800wh.

But we know in reality that it will not produce 100% of its rated capacity but rather between 30 to 50% of that. Going by worst-case scenario (30%) we have 1800wh * 0.3 = 540wh

Therefore we will need 2670/540= 4.9444 which we round to the nearest figure- 5 numbers of the 300w panel.

Assuming you buy the standard Chinese clone which ranges between 52k to 60 k you will require 52k x 5 = 260k

In Summary

Battery cost = 280k

Solar panel cost = 260k


I did not add the cost of the inverter and charge controller.

I can only say the budget between 200k to 220k for both.

That makes the total cost approximately 740k.


This may be less or more depending on the quality of the product used and the person running the installation. I was only trying to give you an idea.

Experts are welcomed to weigh in on this


FYI: I did not add the cost of wires, installation of the solar panels, breakers and other accessories as that is dependent on the person(s) doing the job for you. This is just purely an approximate estimate.

Any constitutional provision to back up your point?
What the president believes is immaterial.

The CJN is not some terrorist threatening to nuke Nigeria and the constitution does not
allow Buhari or the CCT chairman to unilaterally remove him.

Even in the wake of 9/11 attacks in the US, the patriot act had to be enacted to give the executive the power
to take extra-constitutional actions against perceive enemies.



You have been conditioned to think of presidents as emperors who can do whatever they want.
The function of the legislatures and judiciaries is to checkmate executive powers.
Did you miss this aspect of the political class?

If the country laws allow Buhari to do whatever he wants, then there is no point paying
senators and judges for doing nothing.

You talk about foreign media as if our system of government was a result of designs and debates
by Nigerians. Every aspect of our current government is copied from the "foreigners" you probably
think are clueless.

If Buhari wants dictatorial powers, let him go to the Senate and ask for it.

It doesn't matter if the constitution doesn't forbid an action, the judiciary can rule against
such action or the lawmakers legislate against it.

I notice that you are conflating constitutional violations with human rights when they are not the
same. Of course, a constitutional violation can be a human right issue but not all human right issue
is a constitutional violation.

You probably think that Buhari's violation of the constitution is a sign that he has unlimited power.

gare:
Most people don't know the implications of the illegal acts of the President, if it can be proved that the CJN appointment is not backed by Law, all his activities, appointments and judgments will be null and void.

Which will lead to serious judicial and constitutional issues

Please Nairalanders,
I want you guys to help me out. There is this girl we are friends. But before I made her my friend, I was already falling in love with her. So I established a friendship with her. Since then I haven't made any approach. Cuz I'm thinking maybe she might turn me down. Recently we started chatting on whatsapp. All her replies to my messages ends with love love love. Eg. Hi love, good night love. Good morning love. How you doing love. Etc. Please is this a sign that it is time for me to shoot my shot. Does she love me too.
.
I will be glad to hear your advices Thank you

joysy4791:
Please house, is there any law/regulations guiding the use of electric wire fence in residential area? My concern: I witnessed some people arguing whether it is appropriate to use it in the neighbourhood or not. In fact, a guy swore that he will never allow his neighbours to install it or else, they will settle it in court I have always planned to use it in my house. Kindly share your thoughts. Thanks

Recently, I was traveling from Owerri to Lagos with a 2009 Camry Muscle. At around Delta, the car started smoking and i noticed it wasn't throttling dowm again.

i managed it for a while till i got to a town where i got a mechanic to check it. He said the gear oil was low so the tramsmission was vomitting oil on the hot emgine causing smoke.

The recommemded oil was not available so we cleaned and topped it with ABRO ATF and i moved.

The gear was shifting smoothly till i got to Okada in Edo State. The smoking started again and gears wasnt changing. i parked and got mechanic again.

Same problem - gear oil was bad. Recommended oil wasnt available. We had to flush the transmission completely and use Dextron III so i could continue my journey.

I drove to Lagos without further trouble but some days later as i was going home, I noticed the car wasnt speeding no matter how much I throttled.

The gear wasnt changing and my car was crawling. Could barely climb a small slope on the road. It had to be pushed to a safe spot for the night.

The next morning, I drove it home without issues then called a mechanic. The guy says I have to buy a new transmission. I really no dey buoyant now.

Please any suggestions on what to do? The car is parked right now but moves well. I suspect the problem might be solved if I use the right oil - WS.

Unfortunately, that is the law for you.

In law, tampering with evidence is enough to have a case thrown out.

According to him, the 2014 form has become loose, part of it mutilated and has become blue in a way.

chriskosherbal:
This is my take, I am not a friend of Rocha's okorocha or support His activities but what evidence is INEC putting forward to the general public and IMO states indigenes specifically that the returning officer claimed he was under duress to declare him the winner .


Of course anybody can say that out of hatred or reason whatsoever I dont care, but my stand is manmood inec should be responsible enough to give us hard visible evidence to prove the returning officer right cos this Inec under Manmood dont seem convincing to me as a true umpire .


God bless Nigeria.

Does CCT have constitutional power to suspend Onnoghen on his trial that he is yet to be found guilty?

ruddyman500:
I got married to my wife in 2017 and we have been living together since, we have a child together but there is this problem with her anytime it has to do with any of her EX. i will cite some of what happened .

She wanted to organise a programme at a time and the person she could think of is one of her ex who happens to be a media guy, i told her point blank that i dont want her to go met the guy but she explained to me how the guy will be of help to her in the programme she is planning, i let her be cos i dont want to be seen as someone throwing spanners in the wheel of her progress, i supported her and the programme was a success.

Another instance was when her mother died, and they were planning the burial ceremony with her brothers...my wife got home and told me that she told her brothers that she will talk to a musician to come play at the ceremony and the said musician happens to be another ex of hers. i told her right there that am not comfortable with it at all how could ur ex come to sing at her mums burial and i will be there dancing to his tunes?...after so much back and forth , i told her i will only attend the church service and i or any of my people will not come for the party, that was when she made last minute changes and went to book another musician.

The last straw that broke the carmels back was yesterday....I and her have been having some issues of late and we talked over it infact we are just coming out of the tensions....then yesterday morning around 8am she told me that another ex of hers called her overnight and told her that his mum just passed away and he could not think of anyone to call but her cos he is so broken, she said she had sent her condolences already but that she will like to go greet the guy and his siblings cos they are in their fathers house [ the guy is still single ooo although they broke up in 2013] and that she will be able to know about the burial arrangements so she can plan on attending the burial..so she asked me for permission if she could go and pay them a visit yesterday..... Normally i wld not have allowed her but i thought what is she didnt tell me and went there and secondly cos of the tension we just went through and i dont want another tension to build again , i told her i will only allow her to either go greet them yesterday or she goes for the burial ...I told her i will only allow her to choose one . She then asked me in strong tone why i didnt wnat her to attend the burial.....At that point i left the room cos i was not ready for another round of arguments.

She did not say anything again until afternoon, i went to my living room and asked her if she is no more going on the visit again she said she already taken her bath and she will go n prepare now ....she entered the room and started dressing up, i went to meet her in the room and i told her that i allowed her to go cos i already gave her the permission but henceforth i will not allow such again ...Told her she is not the only person with exes , i dont allow issues of any of my own ex brew tension in my marriage , i told her i have an ex whose fathers house is just like 5 mins drive from inside the estate we live and when the man died my ex called me ..all i did was send her my condolence over the phone and i explained that i cant come for the burial cos i have a wife at home whose feelings i respect and that it ends there AT that point my wife flared up to the high heavens .....she started ranting that why am i caging her that i should give her reasons why she should not go that am just so obsessed with her am immmature, insecure and bla bla bla. I told her if loving my wife and protecting the dignity and integrity of my family for obsession then she is totally wrong. She said other men will not have any problem with it that why am i making an issue out of the situation, i explained to her that am not other men , What Mr A is comfortable with may not be so with Mr B cos we all have our individual differences .....One problem my wife have is she does not see reasons why i shld not accept what she seems right to her . I then told her to call any of her elder brother and explain this situation to him if he can allow such ....

This is a woman i never restricted her movements ....i only restricted her twice and they are both on health grounds...When she left i did what i have never done before [ i have never reported her to anybody either my family or hers no matter what happens i find a way we can solve it]...i called her very close friend and explained everything to her, the lady was surprised and she promised to talk to her....I also tried to call her elder brother who is a pastor but his phone is switched off and i have not been able to get through to him .When my wife came back
she did not even greet meat all , she came to take our baby from me which i refused her, she went straight into her room, i later went into the room to lay our baby and i went into the guest room to sleep cos am so much in anger and i dont want the neighbors to hear any noise from my flat.

please i need sincere and honest opinion from married people on here ....i want to know if am at fault and secondly what next step should i take

MRSALT:
Then Tanko should explain the section of the constitution that authorise the President to appoint acting CJN. We all know that acting CJN comes into office upon the retirement of the substantive CJN and there is no provision in the constitution for the President to appoint whether acting or substantive CJN without the approval of NJC.

tempest01:
Yes I saw the clause in the constitution that allows Buhari luckily for tanko to swear him in without the NJC.

But the appeal court or cct to suspend the CJN? Where did they get the powers from?

rhymz:
Hi Nairaland Auto experts, please I will like to know what the problem is before changing anything with my car. I use a Corolla sport 05, I have been struggling with the AC for a while now. I notice that the AC works excellently well in the evening when there is no sun and early in the morning but struggles to maintain a cool temperature especially for people at the back.

I have tried recharging but that has not solved the problem.
If increase the AC to the highest in hot afternoons it just blows air . Also, I also noticed that it slightly gets better when the car is moving than when it is idle in traffic.

I took the car to an AC technician who poured water on the condenser and then asked us to rev the car up, after which I noticed a significant improvement, then he concludes that the problem is the compressor, that it was suffering from low pressure, that we need to change it and it will cost us 28k.

However, I want to get a second opinion as I suspect the condenser and possibly a blockage. I don't know if anyone has experienced this kind of problem before, I would appreciate any technical advise or recommendation or even an AC tech guy that knows what he is doing.

Thank you

Ebullience:
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Diran Odeyemi, has said the party will challenge the results of the governorship poll in states where the party lost at the Election Petitions Tribunal.

The PDP chief, who spoke in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Friday, also said the national body would support the governorship candidates during their legal battles.


Odeyemi said, “There is no doubt about that. We are going to the tribunal to challenge the results of the elections where we believe we have been rigged out. If we are challenging the presidential election at the tribunal, rest assured that we will challenge the governorship election because we know that we have been rigged out in many states.

“We are still collating the results from all the states. As soon as we finish collating them, we will head for the tribunal.

He added, “The national body has never abandoned anybody. They have always contributed to the electoral success and they are not abandoning anybody. That is why national officers are spread all over the country, so there is no national officer in any state that has not been reporting to the national office and the national office knows what is happening in all the states.”

Meanwhile, no fewer than eight candidates who lost the governorship election in their respective states have also expressed their readiness to approach election petitions tribunal to challenge the results of the election.

In Ogun State, for example, the candidate of the Allied People’s Movement, Adekunle Akinlade, rejected the result declared by INEC, due to what he described as manipulation, saying he would go to tribunal.

The Labour Party in the state has said it will also go to the tribunal over its exclusion from the ballot paper for the governorship election.

In Lagos State, the candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, Chief Owolabi Silas, has rejected the result of the election, saying he will seek redress at the tribunal. He alleged that the APC colluded with INEC to manipulate the result of the election.

In Akwa Ibom State, the candidate of the APC in the election, Nsima Ekere, said he would go to the tribunal to challenge the victory of the ruling PDP in the state. He claimed that he won in 26 out of 31 local government areas in the state.

“We have evidence and we will use appropriate legal means to reclaim the mandate. I urge you all to remain calm,” he added.

In Ebonyi State, the candidate of the APC in the election, Senator Sonni Ogbuoji, who had earlier rejected the results of the exercise and called for its cancellation, said he would go to the tribunal.

In Kwara State, the candidate of the Alternative Party of Nigeria, Mohammed Abubakar, said he would file his petition before the tribunal within one week to challenge the omission of his party’s logo on the ballot paper.

He said he had petitioned the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, over the incident. On the other hand, the PDP Chairman in the state, Kolawole Shittu, said the legal team of the party was still reviewing the results.

In Cross River State, the candidate of the Young Democratic Party, Mr Emmanuel Undie, said he would go to the tribunal, alleging that the level of irregularities and rigging thwarted the will of the people.

Meanwhile, the APC Publicity Secretary in Delta State, Sylvester Imonina, said the party would go to the tribunal, adding that the party had begun gathering documents that it would use as evidence.

But, in Oyo State, the state chairman of the APC, Chief Akin Oke, said the party was considering going to the tribunal to challenge the victory of the PDP in the election.

Even if you do PHD the highest you can get in Nigeria is Night shift supervisor in an Hotel in Lagos...

Salary 30k tops, excludes benefits like health,house but may be you can get allowance on Transport 200 naira per day x 30 days 6k so you should get up to 40k per month max!

You're brain.less if you don't that power from Abuja was behind the cancellation.
