Apart from the Johnsons, never heard or seen the rest.
I also miss a program back then where couples are invited, they ask them questions, one of them is asked to write the answer while they ask the other to give the answer verbally(can't really remember sha)
Prizes on offer then were basically household things (deep freezers, Gen, etc..

Until God himself comes down to tell Nigerians that He doesn't give a partner, people will keep on believing that he does.

God no de give husband or wife.

God doesn't have control over your happiness. He will bless whatever you bring to him.

He learnt his lesson when Adam told him "the woman you gave me" . God doesn't want another Adam kind of situation.

Him go just fold him hand de watch you as you de do your thing. So that by the time weh the idiot girl begin show you pepper. You no go say "God which kind wife you give me so"?

All those people whe say de de fast make God reveal their life partner for them just de hallucinate. Because last last na man weh don toast you before you go go for, not someone sent from heaven.

Anyways, I trust sheeples, they will never agree with me.

So lemme just fvck off.

As an Accountant i don't advice savings unless you have no business idea. Honestly ask yourself why bank pays you interest on your savings our fixed deposit. Even the said interest is meagre. I bet if the lady invested the said amount wisely, she'd have been happier. Its just like the biblical servant that hid his master's money in the ground and got exact amount back. There's no growth there. When you invest or do business with your money you either win or lose, either way, you grow.

Beauty and Brain: Slaying with incredible Academic Performance.

Motunrayo Ajia in the Department of Petroleum Engineering, College of Engineering, graduates today as the all time best graduating student at Covenant University with a CGPA of 5.0.

She broke the glass ceiling and set outstanding academic record in the University.

Congratulations dear.

Shine your shine.

On a second thought, would she have been able to achieve this feat if she had attended a public university?



She is indeed the real “SLAY QUEEN” and G.O.A.T.

Congratulations Vicky! I’m very proud of you. I’m not surprised but would have been surprised if not so.

Keep soaring!!

Point 1:This is not true. This is just hearsay/rumour spread by people who are ignorant of how (pre-paid)metering is done and/or those who wilfully want to bypass paying for electricity consumed. There is a fixed amount of naira consumed per KW/h of energy consumed. The only way these companies can tamper with your meter speed is by increasing the official electricity tariff, which is usually announced in the media. Whether people now agree or disagree to the official increment is a debate for another thread. Just like what this thread is about, you can not have two 1.5 Air conditioning units, microwave, water heater, T.V, refrigerator,Halogen lamp e.t.c running non-stop and expect your meter will not run fast. I have used prepaid meters in two other African countries and my experience is not different from the Nigerian one, as I regularly switch off appliances I do not need.

Point 2: Bypassing your pre-paid meter because you feel PHCN wants you to fall in their trap is not a strategy. I repeat this is not a strategy. What happens in this case is that the bulk of the bill is simply passed on as estimated bill to another consumer, those who do not have meters or use analog meters.What you call strategy is actually stealing from others. These distribution companies also have bills to pay. Or who do you think will foot the bill of the gas supplied to Thermal stations. The distribution companies know they have supplied X Megawatts of electricity to Town A and Town B and expect to get Y Naira worth of the same X Megawatts that month. It will become bad sales if they are only able to get 20% of the expected amount, which is what normally happens as Nigerians are expert at defaulting. That is why you see PHCN officials coming unannounced to check those who have bypassed the prepaid meters and also estimate high bills for the unmetered customers to cover for loss. One way or the other, 85% of the target must be reached. Meanwhile, I am not ruling out corrupt staff. They are also part of the saboteurs.

If anyone wants to adapt, get your own source of power like Solar and enjoy the feeling , just the way people are digging boreholes for their own water. Let's learn to do the right things, government is not only them but me and you.

Do you use prepaid meter at home? Does your prepaid meter run out fast? Do you wish to increase the length of time it takes before you go to refill your prepaid meter card? Then this piece is ideally for you.



BE CONSERVATIVE

Turn off appliances not needed at any particular point in time. Sometimes we tend to leave our Tvs and other appliances on standby mode. While this may be a trendy thing to do, it is not a good energy conservation principle.In some homes the accumulation of appliances on standby mode could be enough to power a small fridge. By turning appliances not needed on at a particular point in time you simply save electricity by doing so.



WATCH OUT FOR EFFICIENCY

Buy only energy efficient appliances. Appliance A and Appliance B could be the same thing but their energy consumption may not be the same. This is usually reflected in their prices. Conventionally the more the energy efficiency of an appliance, the more expensive it is. However, the money pays back itself from the energy consumption. Always look at the wattage or power of the gadget and see if it is worth buying.



GO FOR DIGITAL INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

For appliances with compressors, look out to see if it is inverter compliant. It is usually written on the surface of some products like washing machine and refrigerators. For ACs, LG has led the way in this technology with their innovative LG Inverter V Gen Cool cooling unit. Inverter compliant compressors save more energy.



INSTALL A SOLAR WATER HEATER

If you use hot water regularly. It will save you more energy and hence less energy bill if you install a solar water heater once and for all and not heat your water using electricity. Solar water heaters are very efficient as they turn 80% radiation into heat. Once installed you will be using free energy to heat water. The cost of heating water from public utility daily in 5-12 months is enough to install a solar water heater. This simply implies that they are very cheap to install.



LED TVs ARE LIT

Replace the LCD tvs at home with LED tvs. LCDs consume as much as 3 times the energy an equivalent LED tv will consume. The beauty of LED is that you can even control and set the power consumption to lower levels yourself using the ecological friendly mode. They save a lot of energy.



Increase thermostat of the fridges.

Just like a house, a refrigerator will use less electricity if its thermostat is re-set to a higher (warmer) temperature. Owing to the singgle-evaporator design of most refrigerators, a change of temperature in the

freezer compartment generally results in a temperature change in fresh-food compartment Grimes et al.
Grimes examined the impact of compartment temperature on energy use on 1977-vintage automatic defrost refrigerator. Energy consumption rose 26% from the warmest acceptable to the coldest possible settings. A
more recent study of nine large, 1993-vintage US refrigerators found 6.5%increase energy consumption for 1
degree centigrade reduction in freezer


Switch to LED bulbs.


LEDs save more energy than the ring like white energy saving bulb. By now we no longer talk about the incandescent bulbs but for the sake people who do not know. Incandescent yellow bulbs consume a lot of energy. Two 60w bulb is equivalent or even more than an efficient 6 feet standing fridge. We place emphasis on LED bulbs because they are the most energy saving bulb in the market. This piece is a detailed explanation of how LEDs save energy more than the other types of bulbs available in the market.



EXPLORE FREE ENERGY IF YOU ARE GREEN

Use appliances in the middle of the day when you’re generating more solar energy. For example use appliances such as your dishwasher and washing machine during the middle of the day rather than in the evening. The reasons are obvious. You can turn of the input into your inverter to have the inverter supply power to these loads using your sun energy. By doing so, power consumed by such appliances will not read on your pre-paid meter. You would have saved yourself a lot of money by doing so.



CONTROL THE THERMOSTAT OF WATER HEATER MANUALLY

Another good money saving tip that you can do is to turn down the thermostat of your water heater. The truth is you are not always washing your hands and taking a bath all the time. You can reduce the thermostat to 120 degrees lower. You can do this after everybody in the house has taken their bath or when going to bed. This is a huge money saving technique.



PROVIDE GOOD INSULATION AT HOME

One of the most beneficial saving energy techniques you could use is to reduce the power consumption of your home or building. How can this possibly be done? By the use of ceiling insulation that is installed by experts in the field of insulation, you will reduce the energy needed to keep your home or building at a comfortable temperature which in turn leads to less strain on the heating and cooling systems which saves you money and increases your chance of saving energy and the environment. Using this saving energy technique will eradicate the single largest contributor to global warming while putting money back in your pocket! It’s a win win situation.



CLEAN THE AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS REGULARLY

Air conditioners consume a lot of energy if the air filters are dirty. They tend to work more when these air vents are dirty. It is a good practice to clean these air filters at least once in every month. In climes or periods when the environment is really dusty, it is advisable to do so twice a month. A lot of energy will be saved by doing so.



In conclusion, as energy prices continue to escalate, it is best to control the amount you pay on energy bills by investing in energy efficient appliances.
