I tracked one of my items now only for me to see ARRIVED AT DESTINATION COUNTRY

Country - NIGER

Chinko dey craze o, how Niger and Nigeria take relate.....I go dash am the money sha cuz na just 3.45 dollars....i no fit dey file complain up and down for that....

Na those kind of seller I dey like open dispute for and lash dem well well. AE arbitration team will not even think twice before they file in your favour while such sellers usually do not argue the case knowing fully well the nonsense they did.

I also do not forget to give such sellers damning buyer reviews with one star on their stores.

You're not maga now. So please do me a favour: Claim back that your small money and give the guy one star review.

Mfunkynation:
Your order has been cancel...
chat the seller immediately

Thanks. I sent him/her message almost immediately. I would have opened dispute straight away as I dey vex with the useless nonsense happening all around shopping, logistics and bank limits of recent, but I just felt it'll be fair to hear his own side of the story.

Ogbemuo:
I thought it was $200

Zenith bah? I doubt it. There's a 107 USD item I've been struggling to pay for for the past 5 days using both Zenith and GT cards without success. I guess they've both pegged their limits to 100 USD.

GeorgeD1:
as promised earlier, i have been on my 260ah 12pcs zenith batteries since 2012. it's been a remarkable
journey no doubt, especially given all the lament on here about lead acid batteries and their poor durability.
7 years and counting and my batteries seemed to just go on and on. at a point i almost became confused
as to why i was having such a nice time with lead acid while the general opinion was anything but pleasant.
maybe i was just plain lucky or maybe i was doing something right afterall...
the jury is still out on this...

I believe your long courtship with the Zenith lead batteries boils down to usage. When I was "lead acid", the low discharge cut off for the batteries were 12.1v, but I wasn't impressed with the two years plus I got before I felt they needed replacement, although I admit they were not "high premium" brands.

An AC gate opener (idle consumption of 3 watts+6 watts idle of the 300 watts inverter) I used always ran down the two pieces 12v 12ah batteries by morning if the sun does not come up as early as 8am and within 6 months the batteries usually needed to be replaced. The solution then was to switch off the inverter at night and back on in the morning, which is not always done since I'm away for weeks at a time. But ever since I changed to a DC gate opener on two pieces 12v 7ah batteries 10 months ago, the headache is no more.

Your 12 pieces 260ah lead acid battery bank is massive, so I won't argue if you say you don't go below 12.5v DoD in most cases within the 8 year period. This undoubtedly will earn you more years of beauty from the battery. The popular consensus here is that lead does not forgive too much and too frequent high DoD at all, but lithium gives you more at higher and more frequent DoD. One of my lithium pack has rarely gone below 13.0v by morning in the last 4 months even though the LVD is set at 12.3v. If it continues like that, I see myself getting 12 years use out of it.

BetaTechnicians:
To think I was expecting you to end with "So, I want to sell them off and go lithium".

GeorgeD1:
so, goodbye zenith (it was good while it lasted) and welcome sonnenschein!

Sonnes what?... Sounds like something out of Hitler's Germany I almost bit my tongue pronouncing that. Woah, massive beasts by the way; literarily, "I kill drum for you" (I doff my hat for you). Abeg which of your kidneys did it cost you? Just wondering ni o

With this renewed acquisition and rekindled romance, I don't see Mr GeorgeD1 courting lithium for probably the next 15 years, a time majority of us here as AE enthusiasts might already be using lithium-powered electric cars. The only reason he might be forced to use lithium at that time will be in his own electric car. Lolz.

queenfav:
Please guys,how can i stop my house from using PHED during the day even though there is power.It's now that the tariff has been increased by over 100% that they now give us light.I want to be using solar in day time and PHED at night.Can i put my changeover switch on neutral during the day to achieve this.I don't want my meter reading unless i want it to.

You can just switch off the NEPA socket where your inverter is plugged to for charging.

This is another advantage of some of the top hybrid inverters we discuss about here. They are programmable to juggle power use between grid and solar. Some can even share the use of NEPA and solar in percentages at the same time; like PHCN/Solar in 80/20 during the day and 20/80 at night.

DrSolar on you tube uses a hybrid that does that (I can't recall his Nairaland username now) but he also a member on this thread. @ NiyiOmolyunade also does something like that.

Edited: I think the username is Chris or something.

Na wa o. The whole thing just weak person. NIPOST less than honourable attitude has emasculated guys the strength to shop.

Received a Yanwen parcel today. 43 days in transit. Has been with dem final PO since a month ago but apparently they just did the sorting after one month of arrival at their place.

Meanwhile in the same breath, I got a weired update of an item. This was around a week after seller claimed to have shipped it and gave me the tracking number.

This is a first. Anyone knows what the "shipment cancelled" may imply.

Meanwhile I have checked out the order info and AE still considers the order as valid and the logistics is still ongoing.

Themaths:
It won't be different bro, since it's free shipping, the package will still be handled by our darling NIPOST. But you might get back your money faster in case you didn't get it within the stipulated time frame.

mctfopt:
Only way I know is to buy things I need urgently and ship it with DHL or FedEx. Haven't used shipper to shop in AE. Or I buy and decide to wait for 90+ days. Free shipping is slow these days whichever platform you buy from.

Please I'm tired of this issue of dollar limits with these banks.

Who knows a reputable shipper of items on AliExpress that can help with both procurement and logistics?

Please minus "shoptomydoor" o. I have not had a very good first impression from them so they don't really exist as a problem solver in my opinion.

So in the absence of response to my request above from anyone since everyone appears to be engrossed with winning bonuses from AE, I have considered DIY for eBay.

As you can see in the screenshot, estimated delivery is so much shorter (about 4 weeks) than it usually is on AE (60 days) of course with a marginal increase in total cost price compared to the same item on AE. It also will be shipped from China like it is on AE. Buyer's protection on items not received also appears to be 30 days on here as against 60 days (now 90 days) on AE.

Since AE logistics have gone to the dogs, no thanks to NIPOST, I might as well try eBay and hope the US standard is applied in logistics and delivery on this.

Well, I'm about to take the plunge.

D'you handle procurements and logistics from AliExpress?

Do you do AliExpress?

I was gonna suggest this. Being caught in the act is about the most irrefutable evidence you can use in your defence during arbitration. It also rules out the possibility of you feeling bad about possible false suspicion.

As a person, the guilt from possible false suspicions from me putting other people in trouble can be quite discomforting, even if the suspicions eventually turn out to be right.

Bro, na how NIPOST go deliver my 25 pending orders dey worry me pass now o.

Bkayyy:
You wrote a fascinating article to prove awolowos innocence and demonize Ndigbo and the great Zik Africa. But what I picked from your article is an Awolowo of a man who introduced ethnocentric politics and nepotism in the name of forming alliance. Why would celebrate appointing sensitive posts to allied politicians with no regards to meritocracy.
There is a popular say amongst the yorubas that "Igbo no Sabi polotocs" but your article says otherwise, it even portrays the Igbos as master planners in politics. To you people the Igbo man is everything. I don't know why you guys attribute the power of almighty to us because it is only the almighty can be everything at the same time.

The article is more about putting the truth into perspective rather than demonizing one for the other. The write up culminates in a reconciliatory statement which honestly the Yorubas are not bound to do, just as @ Akanbiedu posited, but for posterity sake. But you have again played the victim and blamed the peaceseeker - exactly what the write up pointed out at the beginning of it.

Suffice it to say that Azikiwe's support in the South West had no ethnocentric bias otherwise he would have been stopped from contesting in the first place. Igbos were also not as many in the south west as they are today, so you can't attribute his victory to their voting strength in the South. This non-discrimination against Igbo political appointments still plays out very much today in Lagos owned by Yorubas; this won't likely be allowed if there was reversal of roles. Please educate me on a Yoruba given a political appointment in the South east.

A one time vice chancellor of University of Ibadan of Igbo extraction - Kenneth Onwuka Dike - was alleged to have openly sacrificed meritocracy on the altar of ethnicity by filling most available staff spaces in the university with his Kith and kin.

In all fairness to him, Obasanjo of South West extraction openly said that "he is the president of Nigeria and not president of Yoruba nation" so he will be just in his appointments with more recourse to meritocracy. He had no 97 percentile against 5 percentile formula. Up till this day, the only thing Yorubas hold him in contempt for was his inordinate third term agenda - a slight on ALL Nigerians - and an abomination his own son and Yorubas generally made sure did not come to fruition. No one from his extraction blamed him for failing to fill his cabinet with more of Yorubas.

In recent times, a vice chancellor in a Federal University in Ekiti state had to be called to question following an accusation of unbridled nepotism which sparked outrage and prolonged protest amongst staff in the university community. He engaged in seriously obvious lopsided appointments in favour of his Kith and kin in a federal institution thereby violating the code of federal character. Meanwhile there is no South Westerner occupying any such positions as a Vice Chancellor in any Federal university in the East.

No one is infallible. It's usually with that background that peacemakers approach those that begrudge them to forge solutions. Instead of you to accept that both sides have failings which should be appeased in order to ally, you perpetuate the narrative of false accusation while you canonize yourself all in the same breath. You did not refute the truths in the write up but you conveniently accused Awolowo as one who, in your own words, "introduced ethnocentric politics and nepotism in the name of forming alliance". Yet you fail to acknowledge the part of the write up that says Azikiwe went back to the East, leaving behind his leadership position in the south west, to usurp illegally the position of Prof. Eyo Ita of NCNC, a South-Southerner.

How worse can self-deceit get?

My fear is, solar may become more expensive. Government may try to make it unattractive so that the power companies would have a market.

Black people tend to be innately wicked to 'emselves, aided by the whites who don't mind as long as they get something to gain at your expense. Blacks are ypically sado-masochistic. See that Nigerian lawyer that deliberately bungled Nigerian case against P&ID cos he was bribed to do so, costing the country billions of dollars.

There are great and wonderful black people and I'm one of 'em but the majority is just too terrible.

A while back in the UK, you would get discount (paid for by the government) on solar products if you decide to go green. They pay you half and loan you the remaining half which you pay back over sometime.

In Germany, the citizens have completely gone alternative that the grid power is lying redundant and unused. The German government is even appealing to the citizens to patronize grid power at very subsidized rate.

Olórun ñgbó, aswear, if this government tows that useless path of making alternative energy outta reach for Nigerians beyond the nonsense that they are currently doing, I will personally petition the Almighty and go on fasting spree that thunder should fire all those that are behind it.

What is so difficult in doing things that make life easy for us all especially when it is within our power? Is it by force to keep people in perpetual servitude? There's an adage that goes: If the diety would not be kind enough to benefit me, then it should be kind enough to leave me as I was.

I am considering the following options

A. Run separate wire for a new 60 AMPS CC connected to the new panels

B.Buy a 100amps PWM Controller( found about 2 already on Ali express) with max PV WATTS capacity of 1300 watts and just change the charge controller.
This saves the cost of running separate wires

I just need the input of the gurus!!

Bàbá, just do the bolded jéjé if you can afford another MPPT. Get it connected to the battery bank alongside your existing MPPT.

If you get PWM, cabling will be a challenge for you. You will need thick guage cables to run 100 amps current and you still get to lose efficiency with the use of PWM.

My Rejoinder to Persistent Accusation Against the Yoruba by Our Igbo Brothers on a Pan-Nigerian Platform.

The answer to your question was that Igbo in cahoots with the North of the Nigeria country put Awolowo in prison, but Igbo became the greatest beneficiaries. I shall elaborate on that towards the end of this factual account of history.

Proverbially speaking, Igbo people will seldom appreciate you if they enter your house and you welcome them with your food and drinks. Their eyes will be on your wife too, and failing to offer her to them as well, would be seen as your unwillingness to appreciate their handsome selves who had cared to pay you a visit! That describes their attitude towards their best friends on earth: the Yoruba. Yes, Igbo people, sit down and survey your peregrinations across Nigeria and the world and you would find that Yoruba people are your best friends.

The Igbo/Yoruba dichotomy began with the false narrative of Chinua Achebe, which is their favourite account like the Cathecism, that Awolowo orchestrated "a daylight robbery" of Zik's "mandate" to be Premier of the Western Region in 1954.

Achebe said in his book "The Trouble With Nigeria" that he was a student at the University College, Ibadan, when the "daylight robbery" occured.

But what was the fact? It's worth repeating before the Igbo false accusers for the umpteenth time because their hearts seethe in that hatred borne of patent biased reportage of events that Awolowo usurped what was supposed to be an Igbo leadership mandate over Yorubaland and associated ethnic groups of the old Western Region.

Don't forget that the elections of 1954 was conducted by the British and it was six years away from independence. The fact of the matter was that neither Awolowo's Action Group nor Zik's NCNC had enough seats in the Western Region's Parliament in Ibadan to form a Government when the votes were counted and who won which seats became public knowledge. Both parties then had to resort to wooing candidates of the smaller parties like the Ibadan Peoples Party and Mabolaje Grand Alliance to form a coalition with them.

The Action Group, of course, went to work assiduously, promising the candidates cabinet positions. On the day the parliament was opened, the white governor of Western Region asked the parliamentarians to signify their affiliations for the records. That was how most of the smaller parties' candidates openly declared their alliance with the Action Group. That was how Awolowo became the Premier. Go to Federal Archives at the University of Ibadan. The election results and parliamentary hansards of the time are there in original forms.

But backtrack to recall that from 1951 to 1954, Awolowo was already a quasi-premier of the West with the title of "Leader of Government Busines". That's why in his autobiography he has a chapter titled "Eight Years of of Office". That is,1951 -1959. He was already a burgeoning legend among his people as a sterling performer. The Igbo had hoped to truncate our pace-setting advancement in education, rural development, industry etc, with Zik taking over from him. I'm sure most Igbo of this generation don't know Awolowo had led the West for about three years before ZIK sought to upstage him.

The lie that Chinua Achebe swallowed alongside his umunna who had converged around the parliament building in Ibadan wearing their ishiagu for the crowning of an Igbo King over Yoruba people was dished out by Zik. He lamented to the press outside the parliament building at the end of swearing in that he had been betrayed. That all those who teamed up with Awolowo were his political associates whose support he had taken for granted. He claimed they simply defected overnight and blamed it on cultic loyalty. Maybe they were Ogbonis. LOL.

Igbo people had to believe him then hook, line, and sinker. He was their political god just as Awolowo was to most Yoruba people.

But, no sir! Those coalition members won their seats on their own steam just as you, Zik, had won yours with Yoruba votes in Yorubaland. They had the freedom to associate with who they wanted. They opted for Awolowo and his Action Group not so much because they were even playing Yoruba ethnic card but because they had a deal! Politics is a game of interest. Chief Augustus Meredith Akinloye of the Ibadan People's Party, for instance, had been promised a cabinet position. Of course, he couldn't have been deceived because if that had happened he could defect and the Action Group ruling coalition would collapse. He became Minister of Agriculture, Western Region.

Meanwhile, Zik became the Leader of Opposition in the Western Region but he was soon pressed by his Igbo kinsmen to leave a region where he had won an election to represent Yoruba people for the Eastern Region where they went to lay the foundation of hatred and hostility between themselves and their minority compatriots of today's Southsouth zone by removing Prof. Eyo Ita, a NCNC leader in his own right, as Premier. The Igbo had majority seats anyway. Zik then became premier. A surrogate in the Eastern parliament vacated his own seat for him.

I return to my opening line. The real act of provocation, which could have led to attacks on Igbo in Yorubaland, were Yoruba not the hospitable and liberal people they are, and which set the stage for the collapse of the First Republic, was laid by the Igbo in cahoots with the north with which they had a ruling federal coalition in Lagos.

It was the NCNC/NPC coalition that framed up Awolowo in a phantom coup d'etat when they could no longer tolerate him as Leader of the Opposition at the Federal Parliament and, of course, to takeover his sphere of influence.

With Awolowo held in Calabar prison for no just cause, the Igbo quickly pressed for the issue of creation of new regions of which Awolowo was the chief advocate as laid out in his autobiography published in 1960 months to independence in October. But they only wanted the Midwest Region he had proposed. They didn't want the COR (Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers) region, equally in the proposal. That would have split their Eastern empire. And, of course, their senior northern partner wouldn't brook any suggestion of a Middle Belt region, also proposed by Awolowo.

Thus, we had a situation where the smallest region in the country was split, while the bigger ones were kept intact. The Igbo plot worked as planned. In August 1963, a second class Igbo (that's by Igbo standard) from Asaba, in the person of Chief Dennis Osadebey, an old boy of Zik's alma mater, the Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar, became Premier of the Midwest Region. Hurray, Igbo now had two premiers!

By that, it was believed Awolowo's sphere of influence had been diminished forever.

Then the Igbo went for the bigger goal. They wanted to upstage their Arewa partners from power. They then formed an alliance with the rump of the traumatised and divided Action Group of Awolowo. Earlier, in 1959, they had rejected the same alliance with Awolowo for Zik to be Prime Minister and Awolowo, Minister of Finance. They belatedly formed an NCNC/Action Group alliance known as the United Progressives Grand Alliance (UPGA) for them to control federal powers in addition to two regions.

D-Day was 30 December 1964 when the general elections were held. Meanwhile, the Arewa senior partners in the NPC had wizened up to the Igbo game and also formed an alliance with another faction of the Action Group led by Chief Akintola. They then had what was called the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA). They won! Chief Akintola, without Awolowo's support, had successfully launched a counter-coup on the Igbo splitting of the Western Region by aligning with the north. The ensuing cabinet produced only three Igbo as Federal Ministers as against seven Yoruba. The Igbos were Raymond Njoku, Jaja Wachukwu, and K.O. Mbadiwe. This development, northerners have quietly argued, was the beginning of the coup of 15 January 1966. It is argued that the Igbo political elites, who had lost out, instigated Igbo boys in the military to strike. And that was why no civilian or military casualties were recorded in the whole East during the coup. But Chief Akintola and his newfound northern partners were all eliminated.

I draw you back. You know Yoruba people fight on principles. They launched massive agitations against Akintola for selling out to the northerners. They were not appeased by seven cabinet positions that didn't have the blessings of Awolowo and his progressive lieutenants languishing unjustly in prison. Operation Wetie began in earnest, shaking Balewa in Lagos and Akintola in Ibadan. Somebody had put on the body form of my highly esteemed friend, Prof. Wole Soyinka, to attempt stoppage of the announcement of the election results at gunpoint at Radio House in Ibadan for which the real Soyinka (LOL) was tried and freed by Justice Kayode Eso. Go and read Justice Eso's memoirs titled THE MYSTERY GUN MAN.

Eventually, Aguiyi Ironsi came to power. Awolowo petitioned him for his release. He rebuffed him till northern troops removed him from power. Then Gowon released Awolowo and invited him to join his government and stabilised the country then careening into chaos.

Igbo declared secession. A civil war ensued. They lost. At the end, they picked their favourite scapegoat, Awolowo, for their defeat The accusations traversed the war operations to post-war settlement.

First, he betrayed them, having promised them that if they declared secession, Yoruba would follow. Ask yourself, on what grounds? An old man just out of prison! A civilian! To declare secession in confrontation with Gen. Gowon who had just pitied him and set him free! Something an Ironsi had refused to do! How does that add up? Well, since it's Awolowo who had prevented Igbo premiership of Yorubaland, it must add up.

Second, he starved them during the war. Of course, General Gowon must have been too naive as a British-trained military officer to understand the implications of giving an unimpeded corridor of food supply to enemy territory in war! Awolowo had to teach him that the food was being hijacked by the Biafran troops.

Third, and back to what prompted this recollections ab initio. The accusation of £20. Honest Igbo know the truth. First and foremost, records of Nigerian banks in the East had been destroyed during the war as banks were prime targets of unruly elements among combatants on both sides during the civil war. Hence, apart from their passbooks, most Igbo claiming they had money in the banks had no proof. Many had even lost their passbooks. It was an era when there were no computers to keep soft copies of records or backups. Everything was done manually and in hard copies.

It was a mark of the magnanimity of the Federal Government that it created a fund from which banks were to pay £20 each to any Igbo with some proof of bank account ownership. It was a blanket thing. Even if you had £1 balance in your account you would get it. But those who had proof, especially those in the West - Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta etc - where their banking records were intact, had their accounts reactivated.

If anything, the Igbo had, over the years, rendered evil as reward to the only ethnic group in Nigeria that had received them with open arms, including Zik, from the time this country was established till date. If anyone should be held back by the unkindness of old, it should be the Yoruba against the Igbo and not the other way round. It's the Yoruba, among whom Igbo have found accommodation and toleration more than anywhere else they had ever set their foot upon on earth, who should be talking of Igbo betrayal, Igbo unfriendliness, and Igbo selfishness.

But it's one of those ironies of life that the victim is made the accused by his traducers. The Yoruba cosmopolitan outlook and liberal-mindedness is what have kept Nigeria one till date. It's only the Yoruba who have never unleashed violence against other groups. Not that they are contented with their lot in Nigeria or because they're cowards. It's not just in their DNA to spill blood carelessly! The only times they've engaged in any major public disturbances that cost lives (their own lives) were mainly to protest oppression and injustice visited on them and it was limited only to their space. They never went after non-Yoruba as scapegoats. That was during Operation Wetie and Agbekoya Revolt in the 60s and June 12 demonstrations in the 90s.

Let us hope that one day, some sections of Nigeria won't have to look back and regret that they blew their goodwill with the Yoruba.

If you hear of anybody supporting Igbo presidency outside Igboland today, who is not Yoruba, please, tell me. The same thing applied to Igbo sympathisers during the civil war: the Wole Soyinkas, Tai Solarins, the Col. Victor Banjos, the Prof. Sam Alukos of this world etc. They were all Yoruba, and some of them got imprisoned for it like Wole Soyinka. Col. Banjo wasn't as lucky. He was rewarded with bullets!

And recall that Col. Adekunle Fajuyi had died alongside Gen. Ironsi in July 1967 when northern soldiers came for the latter in Ibadan because Fajuyi didn't want the impression to be created, as the northerners wanted it, that Ironsi's death was a Yoruba set up. He chose to be executed with his Igbo commander in-chief who wasn't gracious enough to release Awolowo, his fatherly kinsman, from prison when he had the power to do so! How common is such vicariousness?

The Yoruba are still open to forging a meaningful partnership with the Igbo to safeguard and promote a glorious future. I hope voices of historically false accusations would allow the detente to reach its denouement.

The instance I see Nigerians scamming aliexpress is when you order and insist you did not get the items after the dispute period. They then give you a refund. You keep your money and the product.
One time, the day I was meant to get refund nipost brought my order. I had to tell them to stop the refund. See the thanking they gave me

If Nigerians keep insisting they do not get their orders due to nipost or fraud, over time aliexpress will stop taking our orders.

It's not the fault of Nigerian buyers that we insist on refund. Nigerians have for years been shopping on AE without any refund issues. Covid-19 pandemic understandably led to logistics problems. You don't expect me to sit by idly and watch purchase protection run out when tracking info - which is my only evidence of transit - clearly shows no activity suggesting I'll get my package, even if the problem is from NIPOST.

Have you not read here post from guys who were. Unable to beat the time to get that money no matter how much they tried? Even the small change in form of new user coupons are so much limited in use and if you get to use it, the item is either not shipped or the seller tries to armtwist you to pay more in order to erode the coupon.
