I heard that a moderator ban someone here 4 10years...

Is DAT normal

Hmmm. Maybe he snatched the moderator's girl, you can't be too sure.

Lol.

Those guys sliding into the dug grave sef. Are they now the ones that the sand will be poured on in place of the casket?

God is indeed wonderful.


The same God that maketh Eastern express high way safer because of UGM.
He will still disgrace Buhari out from that Asorock.

Imagine buying a bag of sachet water #250

South Eastern Nigwria expressways are safer than it was? That's good news. Or are you being sarcastic?

Well, maybe that is what will eventually bring down the government. And who wouldn't welcome what will bring down a nepotistic, clannish, bigot and inept government?

Things are already hard for most Nigerians as it is even without hike in fuel prices that inflation is at an all high.

Removal of fuel subsidy in a majorly fuel driven economy like Nigeria is will definitely sink the people. It would have been better if the inflation in Nigeria now is subsidy removal-related rather than corruption-related. At least Nigerians will understand better.

there are mini laptop of 12v. My wife has one.


My laptop is 19v.

So I got a step up converter at AliExpress.com

For 1k. Or so.

So I step up from 14.4 to 19.2v to power my laptop.


I connected 4 DC batteries. Of 3.7v each.

But for convenience, I bought a small 7000 naira inverter.


So I will make 12v battery x2 = 24v. Then Invert it with my inverter. (Just for my laptop)


But my apartment still runs on 12v.

By 3.7v each that you mentioned, I'll wager those are lithium batteries, more likely the LFP.

If I'm correct, you will need to incorporate a BMS for those cells to last well and to stay within balance.

eliok:
You can connect your house purely on dc.

But it's possible when you plan it.

On the flip side, most houses solar are inverted from DC to AC hence the reason for the Inverters.



I connected my solar installation with DC

I ask myself

What do I want to power.?
Although I have a 32" TV which uses Nepa light,

I bought a Samsung 24 " TV. Uses power adapter .

Cos it uses less power.


I power my decoder through 12v port. Many decoder has it.

My new TV has 12v port.


I bought a 12v fan

And three to five bulbs all 12 v.


So you see I never have to use Inverter.

Using DC source has advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantage is that it provides more efficiency since you use it directly to power devices which mostly have DC powered internals even though they may have AC power input. Your average AC powered TV has AC-DC converter electronics inside to ensure DC source to power the ICs, boards and stuff. So the AC-DC converter of your 24 inch Samsung was installed as external part (probably for want of space in a small 24 inches form factor), ditto for GoTV, startimes and DSTV (except the explorer decoder).

One marked disadvantage of DC is the tendency for it to require thick cable guage over longer distances. There is a standard required cable gauge per specific distance of DC transmission that you have, below which power losses due to increasing resistance occur. That's why you may have 12v source at one end of a 10m DC wire but end up measuring 11.8v by the time it gets to the other end.

Also with DC voltage, different devices use different DC voltage source like you stated earlier. Therefore even if your DC source is 24v, you will require a 24v to 12v DC buck converter at the termination of a 12v device, and same principle goes for 5v and 3v devices. You will require a 24v to 48v boost converter to power 48v devices. Good boost buck converters are usually a bit expensive, more expensive that AC transformers required in AC power transmission. So you can expect another more expense from DC over AC in that regards.

AC transmission is above those limitations.

As for me, all lightings - LED lightings (except an AC powered chandelier like that) use 12v DC power. Every other sockets run AC source.

By the way, where did you get the Samsung 24 inches? Is it smart TV and is it brand new or Tokunbo? How much was it? I like for myself something of that form factor. So it'll also be great if you help with the model number.

yetmao:
I need to have a chat with u. I m a website designer I need a quite power source that can run 15 hours workflow. Running gen is too noisy and even so too expensive. And I might need your experience in sourcing the DIY materials also. I beg teach me.

@Yetmao. You sent me a message to my mail via NL message but I don't know how to respond via the mail sent to my inbox. I therefore searched out your username here on NL.

How may I be of help?

So what do we call these people now? Buhari rights activists or terrorists? Remember when Buhari lost the third election he contested and his sympathisers Northerners came after everything not northern, killing and maiming corp members and Nigerians of other enthincities?

We this is also like it. And now that they've spoken, let's hear the excuses they will also give to justify the "threat to life and endangerment" as a response to "harassment".

helinues:
Bro , I am not saying you are joking but let's face reality.. Are they the only one who had meeting in the whole Abuja this weekend?

Why didn't police arrest others and tagged them Ipobs

Oh no. You're sick dude. Really eff'd up sick.

Helinues, your notoriety precedes you. You spare no one any doubt about your antisocial stand. And you keep proving people right about what/who they tag you to be.

NgeneUkwenu:
See the reason....The op is economical with the truth...They were having IPOB meeting, when police acting on a tip off, stormed there and effected their arrest..

I believe, they would soon be charged to court for belonging to a Terrorists group..

Well, I don't know if this info you provided is true or not. But if true, I think it is better to have them charged to court than not even hearing from them at all. They being incommunicado will bring all sorts of most grievous imaginations of what might have befallen 'em, and that is why the OP and his aunt are worried like mad.

Ever since they've been arrested, according to him, they've not been heard from. At least if they're allowed to communicate with their families while in detention, fears will be allayed and the families know that the only thing they need do is to hope for some divine intervention because in Nigeria, finding a good lawyer that could get you out of problem with a dictatorial government with poor human rights record like Nigeria has is near impossible.

I think your co-tenant a can invest in wireless switches for four or five users. The signal receiver can be placed anywhere outside or inside the "veteran tenant" home while everyone has their own switch.

With just a press from the comfort of your room, you can turn it on or off. I think it should cost less than 10k on AliExpress and anyone with a fair knowledge of DIY can connect it to an existing NEPA connection.

Alternatively, you can use wireless sockets (costs around 7k or so) that you can control the pump from your phone locally or from anywhere in the world with a SIM or WiFi enabled type of wireless switch.

For those with overnight noisy neighbours or that have the overnight company of grinding generator noise behind their window, I think earmuffs can come in handy when they sleep.

For those with neighbours that fetch water from water tanks they are not willing to help to sustain, just electronic locks will suffice. Only you or any other same neighbour will have the passcode or the switch to unlock when you wanna fetch. Just pray bad belle neighbours do not vandalize it.

Those are the solutions I will definitely apply if I were in these situations.

---

Honestly reading thru these submissions, Nigerians especially and maybe Africans as a whole are much tolerant. And I think it's more because of the communal culture that we have, which is not a bad culture. In the west, people get the police called on 'em for making few decibels of unwarranted noise for sustained periods. In fact, in several places you may not set eye on your neighbour or say anything more than hi for six months after you move in, and not minding being some introverted person I don't think I will relish such lonesome environment. No generator of course, but if there has to be any source of fumes from any source, the CO (carbon monoxide) alarm - which is a must for every homes - will ensure no one engages in life-endangering ventures that produce toxic fumes.

The unduely snubbish, this-project-does-not-concern-me-type of street neighbour is the one I've experienced of recent. Before my arrival, he'd some unpleasant clash with majority of street peeps in landlord meetings and the usually refer to him as "the rich man of the street" which to me is more of mockery than praise because I will likely pay his monthly salaries from my own salary.

He will not partake in any financial commitments from the landlords and the day I witnessed that personally was the day I ruled him out of consideration and immediately tagged him as having a serious personality disorder. He never give lifts to street neighbours in his car. In fact he will roll down the windows, then tell you that you shouldn't be angered for driving past you as it's not in his manner to give lifts. I mean who does that. The wife is nice and an almost direct opposite of all the man is, but if he ever spots her giving lifts in her car, stopping by to greet neighbours or even sound remotely patronising of any neighbour, that day she is in trouble. So she does good things secretly.

Contribute money to bring NEPA light into the street, no he won't. Money to construct street gate, no. Money to grade the street road, no. Of course many other peasant families in the street default payment too but those ones are understandable. But I don't expect such terrible attitude from "the-wealthy-man-of-the-street".

So I decided to rattle him a little. I got a couple of those 15k solar street floodlights and gave it to a carpenter landlord on the street with specific instructions to him to make sure it is installed on every other pole and ensures that the pole close to his compound is among the "every other pole" skipped.

One neighbour of his met with me that he loved to have solar in his home but he could only afford little money. So I gave him one of my fairly used batteries and encouraged him to try his best to get solar panels. He had lights in his home in no time and it shocked that other nutcase that how could this peasant landlord neighbour of his afford solar in his home while he himself does not. Few weeks after I noticed he too went to subscribe for MTN lumous set. Jealous right? Yeah he was. Lumous that I wouldn't even advice my enemy to go for.

Thank God I'm even the reserved type, so I have no reason to crave his company or his friendship.

Is nor your fot. It's Buhari's fot.

Oh and Desmond Idiot Elliot fot too.

daylay7:
Hi everyone,

I met this lady long time ago before I got married to my wife and we were in love back then. She refused me when I actually proposed to her and I moved on afterward but each time we were together, our love was quite evident in the air which became noticeable to people around us.

Eventually, I got married and we distant ourselves for the sake of both of us and then, we reduced our phone talks but we were still friends.

And now, each time we were opportune to talk on phone, the feelings keep coming back. It is irresistible! The day we eventually met, we almost make out but we got ourselves under control miraculously and we distant again for a while. The truth is I can't stop talking to her at least we don't even do that often as before.
What is wrong with me? i need help! What do I do?

Bámidélé or whatever you call yourself, you nor well. Shey o wà okay shá? I think your name should be added to the list of Playboys and demons along with names like Femi, Tunde, Segun, Vincent, Chuks etc that are commonly heartbreakers.

When he now has problems with his marriage as a result of infidelity, he will not allow people rest on Nairaland. Then you will start seeing front page topics like "Help, I'm married but my ex-girlfriend got pregnant for me", "Help, my wife has threatened to kill herself and I when she discovered I have a relationship outside", "Help, I'm married but I slept with my ex-girldriend and now I think I have HIV", "New couple clash as wife pours acid/hot oil on cheating husband".

Nonsense. Except this OP is trying to catch cruise or trend with this topic, I don't think he deserves any advice of any kind. Because if indeed it's true life story, then I'm sorry for him and I hope he burns in Hades for betraying the love of his wife and mortgaging the peace in his family by even remotely entertaining any iota of romantic urge towards that ex.

What nonsense. An ex is called that for a reason. Do you realize that it will be more painful for your spouse if she finds out your infidelity is with your ex more than it will be if it is with any random girl? Thinking of your ex alone is a slap on your wife cos it simply means she is not worth as much as the ex to you in the first instance.

I don't even stay as "friends" once we've dated before. Even if you turn down my advances but still want to smartly put me in the friend zone or in the "please I urgently need 2k zone", you become enstranged to me at once. You become an outcast, an anathema and a virus to be avoided at all cost.

The only person that should deserve your attention is the one who was ready to accept you/accepted you and that person is your wife. For whatever reason the ex rejected you at that time, you should move on and ignore her memories even if you can't totally delete them.

I'm so pissed right now.

Ginaz:
You’re such a fool , deranged and I spit on you. What the hell is wrong with men of these days? You are married ! You are fuvking married for God’s sake ! What on earth do you want? Is your wife not giving you pusssy? Doesn’t she kiss you? Doesn’t she moan and suck your useless dick enough?

It's understandable that humans (both male and female) are polyphahic, hoping to try out new menu different from what they currently enjoy. Even if his wife gives it to him in all manner conceivable only in p0rn movies, guys may still wish to get laid outside. The agreement between the dude and his wife was to be faithful till death do them part. It's a different cup of tea if they agreed on an open relationship/marriage or if they agreed on polygamy from the start cos he will not be breaking an agreement that way. The wife will have a prepped mind that her husband may also be getting it outside, so no emotional trauma will ensue from that.

What is annoying in his short post is the fact that he did not even give any sign of worrying about the effect his actions will have on his wife. Such disrespect.

Na wa o.

Minjim:
This Sunday Igboho is pushing his luck.

Why harassing everyone calling them spy

Well dude confessed to being a DSS operative. And to those wondering why he caved in so easily to interrogation, the guy being Yoruba himself knows the level of jazz in play in this struggle. He either has been hit with a "local confession serum" or he is plain afraid of the consequences of lying in that place that he had no choice but to sing like a canary.

In the video, that DSS guy himself ack!owledged the fact that "Chief" (it's even funny the guy quickly humbled calling a civilian citizen Igboho chief) is not an easy nut to crack. He admits that he has some degree of invincibility.

executive12:
You guys should quit blaming the UK. This amalgamation happened in 1914. Nigerians have had enough time to correct the mistake but have refused to take action.
The Nigeria/Biafra war was an opportunity to correct the mistake but you guys actually resisted breaking the useless union.
Buhari's tribalism and nepotism and the Fulani militants have provided another opportunity. Will you guys seize the opportunity this time or spend your time castigating those that are trying to leave the hell hole?

You skipped some parts of the narration of this history, perhaps you didn't know those parts. So here goes:

• The first opportunity to ensure a peaceful breakup was first bungled by Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1959. The upcoming Nigerian constitution was to be drawn in Britain and in attendance were the stakeholders. Awolowo maintained that a "secession clause" should be included in the constitution. This will ensure that in the event of any group being dissatisfied with the union, it is free to peacefully negotiate her exit from the union. But Nnamdi Azikiwe had to go behind him to tell the British to expunge that clause.

• The second opportunity for maintaining the hitherto regional development and progress that was happening in the union, and maybe a possible secession by any dissatisfied region thru its own laws was again bungled in the 1967 coup by Kaduna Nzeogwu. After the coup, Aguiyi Ironsi was installed the head of state and one of the first things he did was to abolish the regional system of governance, removed the position of the prime minister and created the federating government which Nigeria practices today and which southerners are calling for an end to today. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned and the North staged a counter coup and seeing the lopsided benefit the "federating government" creates in their favour, decided to keep it and fought to hold on to power in order to mainted that lopsidedness which we see today in form of clannishness and nepotism.

• Then came the third opportunity, the Biafra war which you mentioned and which as you rightly put it, Nigerians resisted. But the war wasn't really an opportunity in the strictest sense of it. It is a war that would never have been if the first and second opportunities were present. Matter of factly, the secession should have been a bloodless one as opposed to the bloody war had those two opportunities that were bungled were present.

In between those first and second opportunities were some not too notable occurrences that ensured further division of the south as against the strong unity of the North. Like the pact Nnamdi Azikiwe made his political party have with the north when he went behind Awolowo to meet with the North. This was against the initial agreement between the duo to have a strong southern political party. However Azikiwe had a more "convenient" North-South amalgam.

So there you have it.

Well, we may have another bloodless opportunity soon, apparently created by Buhari's government having contested and failed three different times in a row. I hope the south coalition continues strongly in order to fully exploit that opportunity and seal the chance.

OMG! This is exactly the same scenario with Baba Ijesha's.

Where are the pervs who were blaming Ìyábò Òjó for "setting up" Baba Ijesha? And one unreasonable Yòmí Fábíyî staging a protest for his release?

Oya make una start to blame the minor's guardian for "setting up" a suspected paedophile to ensure the metro police get concrete evidence that will be useful in prosecution.

If you don't have the tendency to commit wrongdoing, there is no "set up" scenario that will trap you. You only need to run away from the scene and the fact that you fled from misdeaminour is enough to vindicate you in any law court.

In Nigeria, the reverse is the case. Good people get punished for what they do not do, while dishonesty is rewarded.

Which isn't bad by the way, considering what Hollywood does with stage effect and those their constructed studios.

It's all aimed at using limited resources to create a maximum life effect.

What I don't subscribe to, and which is definitely retrogressive and non-competitive is the Hisbah controlling making of home movies in "Kannywood" or northern Nigeria to be more specific.

A lot of progressive countries are gradually becoming a "first to" in a number of good things, displacing the US in setting records.

Recently, Beijing became the country with the most billionaires, displacing New York from first position.

Nigeria well, Nigeria recently displaced Afghanistan as the third most terrorised countries in the world, displaced India as the poverty capital of the world and also recently tagged the "worst governed country" in the world.

It is well.

So you people that are crying more than the bereaved should come see this o.

Sharp contrast to Evans the kidnapper's wife and children that were crying on the Social Media the other time that their father be freed, conveniently ignoring the fact that his actions led to mournings, crys and depression for the families of many of his victims.

The father don talk say the law should take its due course.

C'est Fini.

Probably he isn't the romantic type and he may not know that the female gender gets turned on more by what they hear, even if they are lies.

And he may love you and the kids deep down inside. Not every man is the same.

If you've tried talking him into it and he doesn't seem to wanna key in, then perhaps you should let things rest a little. The Oyinbos most times value these sundries over true love and care from the spouses and that's why divorce isn't seem far away from 'em.

If he is faithful to your marriage, treats you fine and takes good care of the family, I think you shouldn't trade him for morsel of compliment that may not even put food on the table.

Some husbands compliment their wives on the surface but in actual fact face-fvck and "face-compliment" the wives while thinking of other women outside. The wives would not know about the cheating husband and so they keep giggling away sheepishly.

Have you stopped to think if those men that compliment your looks outside give same compliments to their spouses back home?

Shoodboi:
You sef see am. I won't be surprised if she started the whole thing to go viral and market her goods.

Hmmm. Anything to trend.

I have no IG account so I was restricted to only three item views on her account as a guest, but with that limited views I come dey wonder if truly she is a student or a "freelance marketer".

Cos that her showmanship level for that IG account is at par with professional hoe-low-shows.

What then would her parents that reported her missing to the police think, seeing their daughter deliberately missing school for three whole weeks and probably seeing her online "body advertisement channel"?

Shoodboi:
It's a good thing these ones were upfront about the movement and location of the lady.

It will be very useful for investigations, unlike others that will declare a lady missing only to tell us she has been found without telling us where she was found. Set awon Dickson

Update: I just went through her Instagram page and she claims she's in Calabar, but has been incommunicado because her phone was spoilt.

Those of us neck deep in the game know it's all a format to extort a new phone out of the guy...

She probably switched her phone off so he cannot contact her and would get her a new phone but as things are, the format don cut.

But for those of you with transport fare, money for a new phone, or just want to confirm my statement, this is her Instagram handle: https://www.instagram.com/itz_priscy_/

She has some seriously "marketing" videos on that her IG account that it is hard to believe she has real intent to study.

She seems to be better at the "body marketing department" than at being a student.

Is the Indian strain not able to kill Nigerians?

It seems to have also lost its virulence the moment it crossed into Nigeria

seborrhic:
Don't know about that one,but saying the ones I have facts on.

Mhen! It's the truth, the absolute truth.
I saw one or two videos of such being circulated on the social media. It was gory! Real life acts by these guys and being filled by themselves. You know that the Fulanis own mobile phones with video capability these days.

Someone claimed that one of the reasons Fulanis would rather eat a goat than eat cow is because of that fact that they put their own s3men in the cows.

seborrhic:
It's only a fool that would believe those girls stayed 56 days without being se xually molested in one form or the other.
Same with some of the guys because the 3 things many of the men from that part of Nigeria where the kidnappers/bandits come from,are noted for are;(1)smoking or sniffing of brain altering substances,(2)unusual sexual urge and (3) sexual perversion,particularly of the gay kind.
Their ladies are not too keen on lesbian activities but their men will take the cup for the highest number of gay men in Nigeria.
It's only God's grace that would enable those girls and boys overcome the trauma of what they went through.
They should be taken to psychologists or true Christian priests to prevent them from doing self harm to themselves due to psychological trauma.

You forgot to add "bestiality".

The herdsmen have s3x with their cows.

If El "Ruffian" Rufai and co are not in the list, then it's audio prosecution.

This, coming from Lai "Liar" Mohammed is hard to believe.

So I choose to expect no lockdown with guarded optimism.

Kingk47:
I did not read that long epistle.. but with the headline want to understand how he is called a boy when he has no penis and what is the relationship between penis and money for education?

Even if not always try sometimes to read articles no matter how long. You may get to learn a thing or two. It can even push you to seek more references where you get to learn new things.

For instance, your question above could have been solved yourself if you check out other external resources.

S3x/gender determination isn't strictly by the type of external Instruments (phenotype) but rather more by the genetic makeup (genotype). So you have "phenotypic male or female" and "genotypic male or female" depending on whether you reckon with the physical attributes or a more advanced genetic attributes.

The two s3x chromosomes in human genetic make up are X chromosome for female and Y chromosome for male. So he must have been tested to ensure that he has the Y chromosome which would dictate that every other s3x organs in his body goes the male way. He only had a challenge with the full development of the external g3nitalia.

He appears to be a stingy individual. A shylock and he has added dishonesty to it. He is a bag of antisocial things. You looking away may be like conspiring with him. But you need to check your inner man and conscience if you would still have decided to report him if you both were not enstranged or if you were not already quoting the house.

If you're sure your reaction will be to still report his wrongdoing irrespective of whether you both are friends or not, then by all means report him to the authorities.
