Yes, I am.

Fridge (I usually have to put the fridge on before starting the gen), TV, fan and bulbs.

Hello Sir . I want to kindly give you a piece of professional advice . DON'T TURN ON YOUR APPLIANCES BEFORE STARTING YOUR GEN
Let me explain why and I want to encourage everyone to follow this procedure when turning on your gen .

1. Ensure your change over is still on Nepa when you turn on your gen .
2. Turn off all your appliances and switches
3. Only change over to generator AFTER the gen has been turned on and running , to be more specific, running in a safe voltage.
4. Turn on your appliances one by one , this gives the generator some milliseconds/seconds to gradually adjust to the load

WHY ?

Your generator has something called a Governor , this regulates the output your generator gives . Most appliances are rated between 100 volts and 250 volts ... So depending on your country(In Nigeria here its approximately 220-230 volts) and how you have set your generator, the governor would attempt to auto-adjust the voltage to that range .

As your generator gets older or in some cases, even in new generators, this governor either completely malfunctions or doesn't auto-regulate as quickly as it should . So two possible things can happen here . Your generator can possibly output a voltage of approximately 300 volts , sometimes as high as 400 !!!! continuously ! this is an indication of a complete malfunction of the governor or a need to adjust it , OR it starts at the voltage of 300-400 and adjust itself in about a few seconds .

Long story short, during that continuous or sudden/temporary spike in voltage while you are starting your generator, anything plugged to it could potentially get burnt/damaged, in an instant .

I always just listen to the sound of the generator before turning anything on, or I check the output voltage meter that is standard on all generators nowadays . If its above 250/240 volts, I adjust it down . This is the exact reason why generators come with those meters, so you can check and be sure its safe to turn on your appliances.

I once got ALL my appliances burnt, before I was this experienced .

And oooh, one more thing, even if its Nepa Light let's all learn the habit of switching off all electronics, lights e.t.c when power goes off, except you have a central stabilizer in your home with delay activated .

Please let's take precautions .
Peace

Kindly post picture of the AC you have for sale

WrksOnMyMachine:
Second Image @ 60K + ngn . Could be cheaper.
If you get any (images); get some foam and stitch it to the back. Now you can work for hours; ignoring society

The mesh is durable but not comfortable.

Thanks bro !

WrksOnMyMachine:
These are the best I found. I own the second type.

Want better; consider importing. A guy here buys (on your behalf) and brings stuff in (USA). 2 & 3 under 300$ used is possible.
1 - Sihoo
2 - Steelcase
3 - Herman miller

You might find knock offs for 1, 2 and 3 on Ali Baba.

More information?

Thanks for the feedback bro .
When you say you own the second type, are you referring to Number 2 on your list (Steelcase) or the second picture you attached . Did you order yours from overseas or got it locally ? .
Thanks again .

Mkingz:
Lol ...I don’t know any bro buh maybe you could check on jumia...i would have recommended AliExpress, buh delivery take quite some time.

Thanks bro . I already checked jumia was not really impressed. Maybe I did not search with the right keywords . I would try again .
I would have ordered from abroad, not delivery fee + long waiting time is a deal breaker .

Alright, thanks bro !!

Goto page 2158 and the pages before and after, you will find answers to your questions there

Wow, I have been looking for this !!!.

Do you have an idea if that 5(five) multi-LNB setup would work on a 90 cm dish ?

DivergentThinka:

Please should I go for Strong 4954H or 497S .

I would appreciate if you can also tell me the reason for your recommendation.


Also has anyone ordered directly from strong online store and how did the delivery go ?

Go for 4954h cos it has hidden functions that is able to open some scrambled channels in many satellite directions.

Thanks for your recommendations !

Arsenate:
Really great, to be honest. Very good value for money.

Edit: took the words out of my mouth

Thanks for your feedback .
Which size or model do you have, and how would you rate the picture quality ?

ojotobiloba1:
Its two and half years since I bought my syinix 50 inch smart TV.. Never had a single problem since I bought it..... Such a good product

Thanks for your feedback. Most people who have complained about it have complained about the picture quality .
Of course I am not expecting a relatively cheap TV , to be as good as LG or Samsung . But at least it should be "good enough" .
How would you rate the picture quality ?

MANGAM:
Enjoying my 55 4k syinix smart TV for 3yrs and counting. The picture quality no be here.

Thanks for your response .
This is the first real positive review I have gotten from anyone

Thanks again .

I am considering going for the Syinix 43A1S ....

Has anybody used this TV ?

Kindly share your experience.

Thanks.

99thEnemy:
My friend asked me one time to checkout their new Syinix 4k resolution TV that was bought for 150k



I had to control myself before there would be an outburst of laughter from me... then I will have to start looking for meaningless reasons why I am laughing.. eg 'Do you know that my Buhari visited my house and was farting all day" (my excuse)


Na only God save from not making him feel embarrassed after he hyped the so called 4k Tv.

Syinix God go punish your maker for calling you 4k resolution

Hmm

I am considering going for the Syinix 43A1S

Has anybody used this TV ?

KIndly share your experience

Jirilistic:

Hi,

NewDelhi:
I got the syinix 55" after my Samsung kept giving me problems and I'm enjoying everybit of it. This is smarter than a smart TV

Hi, still using it ?
What's the quality like.
Do you mind sharing a picture of the TV in use ?

iamekelly:
You don't have a contact
And pls name your price.

Hello thanks for your interest.
Here is why I have not placed my number : I have learnt the hard way that there are many unserious people on Nairaland that just want to waste ones time . This is my secondary account. I have being a Nairalander for 10yrs. So I am speaking from experience.
This way I know those who are at least 70% interested in actually buying.

Asking folks to name their price also further eliminates those who would want to price ridiculously.
Sorry if my process is stressful, but it saves everyone involved from unnecessary stress, wasted time and going back and forth.
If you are interested, kindly indicate what you are willing to pay for it, if its reasonable, I would send you a DM and we continue from there .
Thanks for understanding .

I appreciate your bid Sir, but it can't go for that price .

7 Sitter Sofa For Sale

The chair is made with quality materials , and it was custom made .

1.The wood used is solid and not the type that brings out "wood dust"
2.The foam used is also original and won't get compressed easily .
3.Its made with cloth material

The advantage of 1 & 2 is that you can easily convert it to a leather sofa, or change the cloth in the future instead of getting a completely new sofa.

There are a few scratches because I live upstairs and didn't measure the stair case before giving the Carpenter design and dimension . So it got scratched while we were carrying it upstairs .

The 3 sitter was used the most, the others are in much better condition barely used.
Apart from that every other thing is fine

I am selling because I could be moving, and wouldn't want to carry extra load .

Location is Sango Ota .
Not far from Sango Ota High School

If you are interested kindly make a bid and quote me with your number and I would contact you.
Only serious people please thanks .

Still available
