A corrupt Atiku will deliver dividends of Democracy any day any time 1000 times better than a Saint Buhari who is clueless and daft and has led Nigeria into Recession two times as head state


Atiku has successful business across Africa with over 4000 employees and he pays then monthly without owing salaries


Buhari has never been known to own any business, he depended on pension and his looted PTF money before he became President -- Zombies can quote me anywhere
Atiku is a renowned thief, chief looter (Customs), very, very corrupt bribe-taker (Halinurton scandal)...

Reference:

People own homes all over the world. Must you be a citizen of a country to own a house, own a business or eat a plate of garri at any location. Nigerians own houses in Ghana, Benin, Yaounde, South Africa, etc. Are they citizens of those countries. Buratai owns houses in Dubai. Is he an Arab from the Emirates. No be visa I'm go take go there.

Igbos can and do own property anywhere in the world. It has nothing to do with self determination. Nigeria breaks or not, those properties remain their own and if Nigeria is a lawful entity it will guarantee the security of such investments.
Failure to do so will lead to massive disinvestment from all foreign investors, not just the Igbos. The proof is whether Nigeria remains a lawful entity breakup or not so let no one think it is an open and shut case. There will he massive problems on both sides.
You are comparing Apples with oranges!
Buratai, Nigerians, e.t.c that own houses in all those places you mentioned, ARE NOT CITIZENS OF THAT PLACE, TRYING TO SECEDE!
That my friend, is the major difference which you fail to factor-in.

In Nigeria's case, the "bad blood on ground" and the ones that would be generated following any imaginable break-up of Nigeria (which is what Biafra really means) wil be enough to ensure that any property left behind, will become an abandoned property.
It has happened in the past, you know. undecided undecided

Let us assume that things go by Nnamdi Kanu's schedule, Igbos will be forced to hastily run-away back to their enclave (I dont seen any Okechukwu negotiating his ownership of a house in Daura and l dont see an angry Nigeria giving them any VISA in the nearest possible time afterall, l dont see America give any North Korean a visiting Visa, not to talk of residency permit!) and in that scenario, they would not abandon just houses, they would only carry along, what their head can carry.

All these talk about 'we would secede and still be allowed to live and do business from the "Zoo" that we so much hate', is just foolish day-dreaming borne out of greed!

l didn't really check properly the connection the Phcn electrical engineer did because I was not In Nigeria, but what I know was that during my visit when they took light, I went to the switch board and switch to the next phase and I had light while neighbors around me where not having, I also noticed that he installed 3different light bulbs on the panel, which enables me to know which phase has light or not and I can change from one phase to the other, I hope l answered your questions
Thank you.
That means all your three phases are energized individually (Red, Blue, Yellow), as aagainst just looping a single phase into the three-phase meter.

A major advantage of the 3-phase meter.

oyb:
please be very careful; i am currently in a fight with some dubious phcn officials over this very issue

in theory, you will be classified based on your consumption and charged accordingly; i have attached the NERC guidelines - you will see same on ekedc website

https://www.ekedp.com/residential

you should theoretically fall into R1/R2




make sure everything is double documented. if you paid for single phase the implication is that single phase power is coming into your house. even if you have three phase supply, owing to the unreliability, there is often the possibility that ekedc or whichever provider you are using will take a single phase and loop it into your supply.

https://www.electrical-contractor.net/BCodes/VtechVpanel.jpg

in the picture above, the single phase live has been looped because it is propably going to three pole switchgear [note that this can only work if your loads are single phase, if you loop the supply of any three phase equipment, it will not work.

in my case, my house has three phase supply outside, however, only one phase comes in. in 2015, i had a single phase meter wich was replaced with a three phase meter. the installer looped the single phase wire across the meter. fast forward to today, and some other officials are claiming that i looped/bypassed the meter. they are asking for workman's card etc etc.

the three phase meter will work, but there is a possibility that a team of ekedc officials is trying to set you up for future extortion. even though they are a private organization, the culture is still the same. i have escalated to the highest level and there has been no response.
the implication



not really, distribution boards [not consumer units are three phase] , though the end loads/circuits are single phase. as a domestic user, you are unlikely to have any three phase load unless you are going for packaged air conditioners



you are billed based on your consumption and your rating. as an r2 customer you would be paying 24k per kwh. your total kwh will depend on your consumption, not on the meter.

. the power frequency in nigeria is 50hz. this is irrespective of phase. to the best of my knowledge across the world the standard for AC power distribution is 50 or 60hz.

this is what happens - three phase supply is red, yellow blue and neutral. ry 415, yb 415, br 415, rn 230, yn 230, bn 230. everything coming out of your distribution board is rn, yn , or bn [single phase] unless you put in a three pole mcb specifically for three phase item.

what i am saying is at the last point you are getting single phase , regardless of what [single or three phase] is coming into your house.

please ensure that you capture all details of work done.
I will take everything you said into consideration.
I saw an R1, R2, R2S and R2T in the classifications.
Could it be that the "S" (in above) is for Single phase and the "T" is for Three Phase?
The Cost/KWh is close but not exactly the same (24K and 25.75K respectively)

Also, because it is a 3-phase supply, one cannot use a 2-Pole Breaker (Live and Nuetral) but will require a 4-Pole Breaker (Red, Yellow, Blue and Neutral), which is additional cost.

But l understand that if you can put a Cut-out after the breaker, you can actually use the three lines (like @Angelicbeing using two lines out of the three)

I throw you better Salute Sir..

2. What is the cost of the hinges and quantity? Is it per pack or sold each. - Sold individually @#250 - #300 (soft closing) or in packs

- Would some appliances refuse to run on 3-Phase Meter, when such runs well on Single phase? (I am looking at it form the frequency 50-60Hz for Single phase and 120Hz for 3-phase) or would there be problems down the line?

Why do men gotta set rules upon rules for women so that they will stay. .

Following all these rules won't stop your husband from having "wandering eyes".

They just can't stay faithful to one woman. Faithfulness is their curse. Their poison. Their taboo. They see faithfulness as weakness and naivety. And if they don't see it, their friends do and ensure that status is changed.

How many men follow all the rules you mentioned to please women. How many men make it a mental note to "improve" in bed when their wives complain about their ability to perform. Instead they'll start sulking like babies accusing you of questioning their manliness. How many men treat their 40 year old wives like their are 25?

Write a list from heaven to earth. Men will never be satisfied. The whores in them will still crave for more sexual partners.

Buhari is a 70? year old man, I'm sure we have different taste grin

Any ideas on materials that I should consider? I'm not sure what's available at home.

Thanks Sir.
1.) Spell out the 'essentials' of your kitchen - Number of drawers, Cupboards, type of wood for the doors, horizontal and vertical dividers, type of Table-top (Granite or composite-laminate), number and location pigeon holes, center table-top where u can 'cut' Madam just for variety, e.t.c

2.) Decide whether you want to give it out as 'Contract' (all inclusive) or you want to buy materials and pay for workmanship only.

3.) If it is the former, the average per flat/standard kitchen is in the range of #250,000+/-
You simply have to pay good attention when you follow this route because the Contractor/Furniture maker may easily shortchange you by using cheaper Boards for you (e.g, using MDF where he should be using HDF Boards. The former should not be used any where near the Kitchen sink or wet areas or areas that may witness any form of damp. something you cant avoid in the kitchen.

4.) If you chose the latter, you must be ready to go to the market and buy the boards yourself.
The inherent advantage in this is that you know every `Board that goes into your kitchenis hand selected by you.
Possible areas of advantages are:
-You wont buy 'stuffing board' but buy real plywood boards, when buying the HDF/MDF
-You wont buy fake Boards! yes, HDF and MDF do come in fakes. undecided
- You wont over-buy boards as you can do a little maths to estimate what you will need
-Whatever Boards are left over, can be used to design Drawers for your Elelctronics.

Average workmanship for eacj kitchen is in the range of #45K - #70K, depending on the complexity of your design.
You will need the following items:
-HDF Boards (coloured and designed/patterned) for Doors which are usually cut into 16" but may vary
- 3/4" HDF or Marine Plywood (strength & cost savings) for Frames only and back-panels. #12,500 (HDF) #6,300 (Marine) on average
- 3/4" MDF for Dividers (matching colours) but avoid areas close to the sink - 6,500 on average
- Table Tops: Can be in Marble or that laminated Pressed, Board chippings. The latter l have found to be very adequate and long lasting. It ia about #18K for an 8ft length, Dont know how much the Marble is sold now.
- Handles to be bought in Packs from #400 to #800 depending on size (Wardrobes usually use longer sizes) and beauty
- Hinges; They come in soft-close (
- 18" Runners for the Drawers - about #600 per pair
- Adjustable legs - about #700 per pack
- Angle brackets to tie/hold the Board together - about #1200 - 1300 per pack
- Screws - 3/4", 1&1/4" and 2" screws. You will mostly be using the 3/4 and 2" screws. #1000 - #1200 per Pack (buy like 2packs per kitchen)
- Edge Taping Formicas. 3/4" and 1" sizes @#4,500 - #5,000 per Roll
- Gum (Abro/ Evo Stick) - #4,500 - #5,000 per Gallon (One is enough)

You can cut the Boards to required sizes at the market place if you (or the workman have figured it out initially before going to buy Boards) know the lengths. This gives more precise cuts than the Workman doing it himself though, it adds to the cost. At about #400/Board.

Add Transport.
