Let the war begins

Wow!
Very sad. You want war?people in war zines are hoping and praying that it ends

WiLdFLame:
Juniad should shut up

The north can play politics with Boko Haram and billions of Naira is taken from us to develop your lands right? Why we Southwest can’t set up a community policing to wade off criminals?

Go and warn your people that the Southwest won’t tolerate any notoriety either from the Fulani herdsmen, IPOBS or any of our neighbors taking our hospitality for granted!!

Bring a logical counterpoint. This man is very sensible in his answers.

You, hmmmm not so sure. Did you read his responses?

Empiree:
my signature?. My sign. is about Sura Al-Iman Ayah 103.

Let me guess from your post, it looks like you were trying to say some Sunnis are happy about killing of Sulaimani and want Shiism eradicated. Is that what it was?.

Almost. I think I have attached what I was referring to this time

Empiree:
^^^^
This is with regard to the recent iran-us fracas right?

Yes, however what I tried quote was actually something in your signature titled Nigeria civil something

Sorry that I had to quote the whole thing. I am specifically interested in the segment that talked about defeating Shiaism.

Why on earth do we waste our energy and resources on something so useless? Our so called Sunni countries are falling one by one like a pack of cards while the one sunni country that appears to be powerful provides funding and manpower to fell muslim countries. What muslim nation has Iran attacked, please?

We are wasting time as muslims. There is a force that is hell bent on eradicating Islam as a way of life. They will not succeed because Allah has said so. We however have work to do as muslims, we are not doing so hot right now

Don't mind them, all lies! If u go to the Medicine Dept and Law na so so Hausa and Fulani full there. You go hassle hard to see any Christian in that dept even if you see at all nah southern Kaduna

So the Southern Kaduna are not Christian enough? And when you go to UNN, na so so Hausa/Fulani also full dia?

[quote author=ThankYouGod post=85646065]Hope they will not frustrate her when she's admitted.[/quotep]

Sadly, she is already frustrated by whomever suggested to her to claim religious bias. She is young and it is sad that her guardians already partly ruined her. She can continue to play the victim and apply to US for admission claiming religious discrimination because there are no Christian graduates from ABU Medicine, right? Just sad

Empiree:
long time.. How are you doing sister?. You still live in Detroit?

No sir. Never did. Hope you are doing well too

Alhamdulillah Erdogan don get sense

I don't understand. Could you explain how Erdogan got sense?

Authortee:
I am a Muslim. If the Muslim is hindering development please demolish and even Allah will reward you in the process. You don’t even need to tell anyone anything about it because in Islam intention supersedes actions

No you are not. Islam preaches dialogue and reasoning. The governor did a human thing, a lot are animals in human skin. Which kain muslim you be ?

How you dey madam. You went incognito mode?

Alhamdulillah. You quoted all my typo.

Demmzy15:
The world was monotheistic but then people began to deviate and thus many fell into polytheism! Not the other way round.

Amazing....if I could like this a million times! How on earth can any muslim bring forth such an argument about the name to call Allah. Was Adam (A.S.) a monotheist or polytheist? How about Nuh (A.S.)?

Please follow the history of man. From creation, monotheism and sinning, then polytheism.

SMH! So what about Chineke?

Could you please check this VIN for me?

Read very "slowly" next time before your ichy fingers jump on your keyboard to reveal your s.t.u.p.i.d.i.ty by posting pictures of "black African people" in medieval and Roman times

The indication is that Moorish rule in the Iberian Penisula is "derived" from the ISLAMIC/ARAB incursions into the Magreb ak.a. North Africa, therefore "technically" speaking they are not an indigenous African civilization since the caliphates arose from West Asia.

The area which the "moors" emanate from are a combination of several African civilizations usurped by the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb inclusive of West African, Berber/Amazigh and other ethnic groups influenced genetically and culturally by the visgoths and vandals in North Africa.

There is no singular "black African moor culture/civilization" in Africa. If there is point to it.


Afro-centric gibberish should never be mistaken for Pan Africanism.

I don't agree with everything that kingshango posts, he seems obsessed with pedophiles and homosexuals and that derails his message a lot.
Having said that, it is sometimes necessary to format ones brain to open it to the possibilities of a different narrative. We have all been fed a certain version.

Pray tell, what aspect of the earliest moors' resembles Islamic/Arabian culture?

Please share with us.

Farm still available

Also 2 acres of land with borehole available for lease

I think that you must have crunched the numbers before considering leaving the job. If the job takes a lot of your time and also ends up giving you less amount of money after you deduct your expenses, then it will be reasonable to go into your farming full-time.

However you must take the business as a business you must devote it plan to devote as much time if not more than what you did at your job you must also plan for expansion remember this is your business.

If the current job gives you other benefits such as health insurance, retirement ,pension and things like that then you really need to redo your numbers. Don't be afraid. I pray that you succeed.

Looking at the pictures, you start asking yourself at what point did things started going wrong in this perfectly looking family? what did she probably do wrong? what ignited the man to do this? Is just so difficult to comprehend as this life keeps getting complicated by the minute, nothing seems right anymore. We will keep praying and hoping for a better world.

The pictures tell no story! They are just pictures. No one willingly puts up a picture that tells half the story on Facebook or Instagram, talk less of the full story! Sometimes the pressure of keeping up with the Jones's can become all too brutally real and fatal.

Farm up for sale. If interested in a lease, contact me

Farm is still available for sale!

@Bigrovar - thanks for your input. I visited the link for your set up and pardon my lack of technical know how but few questions

1. why is the sum across each set of 4 panels significantly different? I understand that a series connection should give an approximate sum of individual panels so I was expecting a sort of sequence, (not that it matters a great deal as the total pwer is still a sum of both arrays).
Are all eight connected or are they 2 separate power generators going into the inverter.

2. Is DoD a function of battery or how you set up your system?

Thanks

I beg to differ. T[b]he only way of reliably testing of earth connection is using something called earth megger[/b]

https://www.tester.co.uk/megger-det4td2-earth-tester?gclid=CjwKCAjw0ujYBRBDEiwAn7BKtxVskY0Ebjn7_IDanAUeQ2PbLikI69LuLmSiKQYo8X56c5zYl-vlZBoCPHwQAvD_BwE

- If the earth is even connected by 1.5 mm2 wire the light bulb will light up or multimeter will show low voltage. The earth is supplied already from the disco in a good installation by neutral grounding and hence neutral will always show low voltage with earth.

A good way to check if the Neutral is earthed at home is to switch off NEPA at the entry point ( including neutral) and then measure the inverter output neutral to earth you will be surprised to note that most inverters will show balanced voltage with respect to earth say 110 V ( P to E) and ( 110 N to E)

The higher end inverters have a sperate grounding relay which actuates the main relay ( Victron) or auxiliary contact ( SMA. even newer Ipower models) earth to neutral short on the failure of the grid



That kind of earth is enough to reliably trip a ELCB ( earth Leakage) circuit breaker but may not be strong enough to sink a lightning surge ( or switching surge

typically earth resistance measured ( when isolated from earth bar) should be less than 5 OHMS ( IEEE) , 10 Ohms ( India) 25 ohms ( USA)

In layman's terms during lightning strike, the earth can carry several kiloamperes of current and a high resistance path may raise the circuit potential above 1.5 KV where the normal equipment may fail or people can get shocked

Also there are two values to be concerned with earth Touch potential and step potential. Both concern with human safety. A weak earth can raise a potential along the earth point potentially shocking people on failure of insulation of the equipment



M[i]y advice is to sink one more rod if you are not sure and connect directly to your earth bar with a solid connection without a break -

Typically if the property has large generator e.g. 20 KVA and above you can easily trace and use the generator earth rod as most generator companies will sink a Rod close to the generator and connect to neutral and generator body
[/i]

If you are not sure and you sink another earth rod, and somehow you end up with 2, does it cause harm?

Yes! I also like Tinubu because he is a great Yoruba man, but will do also like it that a Fulani man like buhari is trying to ridicule a well respected Yoruba man? How do you then expect other people to view Yoruba people?
No I won't support buhari in this.
Laye laye mo kan

Obasanjo! Well respected? Yoruba?

Mba! Check history very well. If he returns his loot, we may spare him the ridicule. He stole our commonwealth and still would not stop trying for a 3rd term.

Quick question for the house. Is there any advantage to buying the component parts to build from the USA? Or are there brands that are obtainable in Nigeria and have been shown to be efficient?
If I can save on forex, I would love that!

Also, still asking about an estimate total figure for 1.8 to 2.0kVa, not the breakdown. I just want to know if I can dive into it

Thanks everyone

I will leave @BigRovar to answer the question about budget for a 1.84kw PV array and associated system though I suspect he has a lot of load optimization and equipment running at scheduled times and automations involved to be able to run such a large variety of equipment on such a small array.

For the second question, there is absolutely no harm in generating more power than you can use on the average - this is the end goal every solar power user should probably aspire to - at first you will gloat and be pleased with yourself to be in such a unique postion (generating power in excess of your needs) but soon you will become dissatisfied and start looking for how to use all that excess power - for me I applied my excess solar power to running an AC to cool my sitting room from 9am to 6pm everyday - with my next power upgrade I will run water heating equipment.

Thanks!

@BigRovar, I need a little help here. Thanks in advance.

bigrovar:
Bros a 2400w for the stated load of OP don't you think it is quite over the top? especially considering the 700k he just spent? Myself I use 1.84kw panel with grid disconnected and that powers the whole house on a 24/7 basis (Including Fridge, freezer, washing machine, TV, lightning and fan at different set time point).. I think it is important to understand what went wrong with this installation before hitting the buy button. I started my solar journey with 2 240w panels and 2 batteries and even that was able to ensure 4 hours of 175l chest freezer time, and over night light use before I upgraded to 3, then 4, then 6 and now 8 panels with a combined power of 1.84kw. The loads specified by the OP are do not contain any inductive or every equipment like fridge or freezer.

I think it is important to determine what went wrong with this install, find a way to make his load more efficient. An efficient and optimised load go a long way in paying off solar investment much more than pilling on the panels. changing my inverter from felicity to ipowerplus for example improved my early morning battery state of charge to 71% from about 55% because the ipowerplus uses about 30w during dc to ac conversion while the felicity uses north of 58w. The 20w difference made a big difference. I intend to further reduce things by getting a rechargeable ceiling fan to replace the electric motor ceiling fan in the living room. The energy sayings from this 22k investment would be used in increasing the run time of the new smart inverter LG refrigerator to about 18 hours daily while maintaining current battery daily depth of discharge to 29-35% .. remember we are talking about 2 12v, 220AH indian tubular battery that are going into their 3rd year of service.

OP should post picture of his install let all see any obvious fault and make recommendation. If op is in abuja, I might even want to come and see things for myself (pro bono)

Good morning!
Your post is quite enlightening. I need help with something similar. What should I budget for a system similar to yours? - 1.84kw

Also, layman's question - if I generate more power than I use, are there any downsides to this?

Thanks
