Mandeyy:
The Fulanis you talked about are more trusted than Yorubas. Yorubas are backstabbers. It was the issue Zik had with Awolowo.

I beg to differ. Yorubas have done well to move on away from the hurts and betrayals from their South Eastern brothers in the execution of the coup and even the civil war, to the effect that their properties were cared for and kept intact till their return after the war.

But a fact that has been established over the years is that the Igbos relish keeping malice as if they were the only saints in the war. They keep playing the victim up to this day. As if that was not enough, they looove to re-write history to suit their narratives and paint themselves in such saintly light.

Suffice it to say that this problem is mainly by the newer generation that did not witness the war; this is the generation that Nnamdi Kanu belong to and that is why it is so easy for him to insult and accuse the rest of the country without self-control. He declares renewed war with the Yorubas and twist the narratives of the war to his contemporary new gullibles who swallow all he dishes out unquestionably and without research. The elderly among the South East will tell the true picture of the story and will not be quick to beat the drums of war as you guys are won't to do.

[b]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[/b]

Abeg, this Garrulous Gigolo guy, is he really from the South?

Who cares? Y'all think it's wise to mortgage the security of your own people in order to secure the presidency huh?

As it is, Àmòtékùn isn't the only thing SW will bring to the table, but regionalization (regional government) and in worst case scenario, Odùduwà Republic.

So if anyone thinks he can use a shot at the presidency to threaten SW's insistence on protecting her own people from marauding Fulani landgrabbers and murderers, such peeps are on a long thing.

dalass:
Even when a southerner gets the Presidency, he must make sure this country divides accordingly because no matter the good done to the country, cancellation of debts racked up by this borrow borrow government, they will still plunder it and add no meaningful development to the nation.

Including their murderous and land grabbing vices

In the event @ bolded happens, sincerely I'm more for regionalization than outright disintegration. We need our population and diversity as an egde to keep is going. But we need to make sure each region is responsible for themselves. Not waiting for some useless monthly stipends from a useless FG whose primary focus is itself rather than the people blessed with the resource.

When each region realizes that it does not have free oil money to get again, they will wake up and start thinking on other ways to spin money. This will drive development with each region prioritizing on her own comparative advantage. Agriculture, education, hospitality, manufacturing and commerce are just a few of those thing each region can pick on.

Those blessed with oil should really not mock those blessed with laterite cos it does not matter what you have, the way you manage it is what matters. Dubai's main Forex earning is today not the oil, but hospitality which they used the oil to establish.

I look forward to a time when salaries of workers in state governments will be more than salaries of Federal Government workers as it used to be before the sad abolition of regional government and adoption of unitary government by dem Kaduna Nzeogwu and Aguiyi Ironsi.

michealdeco:
Plus they shouldn't just focus on letter, they should also up their game on courier service and also update the NIPOST website to effectively track orders

They are into courier services too; I mean they aren't doing badly. Using NIPOST services you can move your entire goods if you are changing location as long as it's within Nigeria. They will come to your house to pack the loads and deliver it intact at your new residential address. I have myself sent a few packages (solar batteries included) using their courier services. They could improve on their services though.

That being said, sabotage is what kills government businesses in this country. Lack of patriotism is what fuels the sabotage. Leaders, directors in ministries down to the lowest cadre handle government business with so much lackadaisical attitude and even the little profit that is made is looted by same.

POS that is all over the place today was an idea originally hatched by NIPOST. The plan was to have everu post office nationwide as POS points for people to send and receive money, make payments and do a lot of other online transactions. POS machines have been purchased for the purpose but somehow one useless person or groups of person sabotaged the effort and idea and decided to prevent the take off of that venture. It even seems the POS machines were eventually sold out to the public and such machines were the first set to be used for private POS businesses across the country.

So I won't be surprised if similar fate befalls this idea.

Please the gurus or the experienced in the house, is true that pure sine wave inverter consumed more energy if connected to phch source.
Please contribution base on your experience particularly people with prepaid meter

Your question is hard to interprete or understand. But I will give an umbrella response that is basic and simple and hope you can pick your answer from it.

By PSW connected to PHCN source, you mean a PSW inverter with an inbuilt charger. As an inverter user, the only reason your inverter may have business with PHCN is for energy to charge your batteries or to power your devices in the case of some hybrid inverters

The consumption therefore will depend on the capacity/rating of the in-built charger rather than it being a PSW inverter or not. Or in the case of the hybrid ones, on your loads (devices) plus the in-built charger rating.

greenskittles:
Hi everyone, what inverter can I get that's strong enough to power a laptop charger of 230W, it's a powerful resource-demanding laptop and the only brand I know, Lumos, has maximum output of 60W.

If the Lumos you wrote about is similar to that MTN Lumos package then that's not an "inverter". It's more like a whole system. That is, battery + inverter + charge controller in one box, in a small form factor.

That being said, for the merciless power-hungry 230w laptop charger, you may get by with a 500 watts inverter if you are low on budget. You will also need to get batteries, AC battery charger and/or charge controller plus solar panels to complete the system.

ojeysky:
Certainly solar will be what more people will transition to with increase in utility cost/bills.

Unfortunately, government will be waiting for you people there.

Also I wouldn't mind still getting the parcel and paying back the seller because in the current price of the item, shipping has been changed from CPRM (EMS) to DHL, which means the price of the item has increased by as much as 30k, now 64k up from from 34k.

She'll deny if you confront her with your "assumptions". The only way to be sure to have the floor in case you confront her or in case of arbitration is to have incontrovertible evidences handy.

It's certain that you need closure cos as it is you're only at the level of assumption which can be very distressing. Hard evidence will help you to negotiate to the next stage of acceptance and seeking out a solution which could be either your wife accepting her errors, apologising and you both reconciling or outrightly seeking redress in court. Either way, you find closure which helps you to move forward in life without being held back by "I'm not so sure but I'm not happy and so angry right now" thoughts.

There are apps that you can install on her phone that gets your info for you. You must be willing to spend small money which would be cheaper than hiring a private investigator. Monthly subscription varies from 9k to 14k depending on the app. It gets SMS, WhatsApp messages, call records, location, pictures and videos in real time from her phone and keeps 'em stored for you until the time you log in on your computer or your mobile device to access the info. This is a link to just one of about four different types of popular apps.

https://www.hoverwatch.com/

If you want the non-payment option to track only phone calls, there's a free app in the play store for that. But you will need access to her phone each time you wanna transfer (via Bluetooth) the recorded calls and call records to your own device for listening at your secluded time and place.

Search for "call recorder" in the Android play store.

These interventions I mentioned are basically for monitoring minors (children and wards) which was my reason for researching 'em but I guess they can work in your scenario. The only downside is you are liable to prosecution for breach of privacy and unsolicited electronic monitoring (in the case of adults like your wife) and as such they may not be admissible evidence in court. I'm not sure how it works with Nigerian legal system though.

All being said, I pray your have an amicable settlement to this matrimonial wàhálà that will see your kids growing up to see their parents smile, joke and play with each other under the same roof. Even thought there is no relationship without their down moments as we are all human and not infallible but It's always a happy thing to grow up in stable families. Infidelity is one of the painful betrayals to learn about spouses, even something as little as some unknown person or suspect saying "I love you" to your spouse, can create chaos but I guess we all can use some crisis management.

With the resumption of international flights to nigeria. I believe items will start coming in faster

Bros, I strongly thought that way too, but items have been coming into the country. The problem has been NIPOST not doing their job of sorting parcel and of updating logistics info.

They are still feigning having COVID-19 blues when the rest of the world is getting their acts together and moving forward.

That being said, I took delivery of another item today. I won the dispute long ago.
Ordered - 22/04/20

Had to call the postwoman to inquire if I had parcel.

Note the quiescent period in logistics info from 10th July to 19th August (circled in purple). The updated logistics info is still stuck on "arrived destination". Meanwhile another item that had updated into the normal "failed delivery" for over two weeks now is yet to surface.

Yeah, its not gonna be cheap, when you factor in shipping and all, plus tying down funds for an indefinite periods, its in same price point as sorotec, sorotec has 3.2kw 48v variant, which is gr8. 90amps mppt, while this is 100amps mppt.

I laff.

Well, if 330k is the set price, then maybe it'll be more reasonable to import it via online retail store like AliExpress. Better still, save much more by going the Alibaba wholesale platform.

Although if one isn't prepared to go thru the hassles of waiting, clearing and customs, then @futurenix clearly wins the contest.

This is 5.5kw 48v 100amp MPPT with WiFi dongle for less the price point of 3.2kw Sorotec, or better put the price point our dealers have it on offer for.

@ house, is there a way to use a non lithium batteey specific inverter and Cc to charge lithuim battery?.
I think for cc, one can maybe play with the bulk and absorb time and voltage settings to get it work for lithuim, but for inverter.. seems no show.

If your battery is 12v, you may have a little bit of challenge. However if it's 24v system then your existing 24v lead acid charger on the inverter may suffice. Most 24v LFPs top at 29v, a few go to 29.1v. NMC batteries max at 29.4v (though NMC is not the subject of discussion at th moment). It seems chargers on most 24v inverter allow configuration of boost and float charges to within the 29v range, so perhaps such inverter can be used with LFP.

This is me assuming of course.

Impressive

The only reason I posted it, and which I laid emphasis on with the uploaded screenshot juxtaposed with the phrase "specs not bad" is because I believe it should be a lot more easier on price than Sorotec and Phocos even for the fact that they are the same form factor - note the price on the screenshot photo I uploaded. And when shipping is added, the price is still not bad.

I even already have the "5.5kw 48v with WiFi dongle option" added to my cart. The only downside I initially foresaw was the absence of user review but then that has been laid to rest by @ futurenix.

And it's good he even has units on offer. Let's hope he does not do ”and co" with dem Sorotec and Phocos with his price tag.

Hmmn.What will happen on days when there is no sunshine because I am assuming since there is no battery then no form of storage!

It's an option. You can decide to have your batteries connected to it too. But it can also work without batteries, an ability which most other inverters don't have.

was scammed by this set of idiots in the year 2017. I went to Alaba to buy a 22 inches LCD TV ( Tokunbo ) , after payment the guy told me the TV can only work with DVD and Decoder because it was VHF . I told him to refund me but he said, he can't because he also bought it like that. The initial friendly approach turn threatening even with occultic power from his village. After, long talk and pleading, he gave me 20k out of 25k but i told him , he will not suffer for his action then i realized Igbo people prefer money to Life. He said nothing will happen. The greatest surprise was that, The guy is now a pastor at Amuwo Odofin area with congregation. After, one year Facebook suggest him as a friend to me, I added him but ask him some questions and he was surprised, I told him, i can come to the church and disgrace him now but he pleaded that , he is now a born again Christian. Beware of those bad guys at alaba especially from now to December, they have red eye to make money and return to their village with jeeps in convoy. God bless you.

You should have still asked him to refund your 5k he is owning you as a sign that he is remorseful.

You see there is this thing called "restitution" that born again is expected to do following confession and repentance. The individual may not be able to remember all the wrongs and evil he had done in time past, but the much that he can remember, he is expected to restitute.

Biblically, the king that took Abraham's wife did restitution the moment he realized his folly.

I had a former school colleague that called me to confess that a textbook and kerosene/hurricane lantern of mine stolen during our days at the boarding school 17 years ago was stolen by him. As a young boarding student, I had cried my eyes out at that time and I had to convince my parents before replacements could be gotten. He promised he could replace the items if I insisted, but we just joked over it that it was one of those things of our youthful days. But I knew deep down the dude was trying to make everything right with his creator.

Haven't you heard of people who contacted WAEC to denounce their result and offered to write another exam years after they cheated on the first one?

@ ceaser, so you can actually mix different packs from different sources, without issue?.

I did o. Coupled two 12v 120ah from different sources in parallel. The two na LFP so I wasn't worried.

In fact, I have a DIYed a Li-ion 18/6/50 pack of 7s 24v 38ah connected in parallel to a 24v LFP for about a month now. Back has evidently increased.

The downside I foresee is that the 18/65/0 pack may not charge fully (recommended 29.4v @ 4.2v per cell) because of the CC setting which I have programmed at the recommended for the LFP (28.8v to 29v). The Low Voltage Disconnect for both packs is at 24.2v which is well above the allowable by the BMSes of both packs.

Guys, i want to order a battery from aliexpress. the battery is just 10dollars but shipping fee is 150 dollars!!! And that's the only option available..
is there anything to do to get a cheaper shipping fee?

You can chat the seller up. I'm currently doing something like that.

An item that I had ordered since July on SingPost but is stuck on "despatched to overseas". I'm impatient and think of ordering another but this time exploring the DHL option. Item itself cost 9k but 64k or thereabout for the DHL shipping. I chatted the seller on my predicament and he/she asked me to "place order but do not pay" and then he/she would check what can be done about the shipping fee.

I'm optimistic I should be able to negotiate it down to around 15k at most.

If you know you know.

It would be nice if an investigative journalist goes to Alaba and have this racketeering exposed on platforms such as BBC Africa Eye.

I would love to do this myself pro-bono. I'm willing to stake like 50k to expose these mofos. I know I can always get back my 50k by employing the services of the police or the NCDC. Disguise as a seller and catch every nonsense on camera, including the task force activities, the negative and positive arbitrations they do. I have the gadgets including camera shirt buttons, camera pen, camera wrist watch and the usual mobile phone audio recordings to catch every detail. But I don't have the luxury of time.
