Bros that generator is believed to 5.5 kva, our people make them write anything and brand on them. 7 years ago my friend call the manufacturer from US in China to make inquiries about that brand Sumac or sumic. They told us it was only one guy that import those generator to Nigeria then, the give him the guy Company name, phone, and offices address in Ikeja. He is surprise we get his information from China. I went to the guy office in Ikeja, he gives me little discount because we call the manufacture. I bought two of those generator, another friend bought 1 from him, it works well. it’s carry (1) 1.5 hp Ac (1hp Ac) refrigerator, water pump, and about 20 bulbs or so. Anything after that if field overload from the sound when running. It’s runs for 7 hours straight, stop let it rise for 3-5 hours then run it again. To have long lifespan from the generator it works for 4 years, before star have a problem. I just give it out. Note, not running like that for 4 years oo , some times. I may not need it for weeks. Another important thing people don’t pay attention to is Fuel consumed per hour, it is very very important when buying generator. I know many Nigerians don’t care about that because fuel is very cheap. It’s just like a car, if buy new car, you burn less gas per mileage than those good for nothing old Jeeps or truck as we call them. Do your research buy wisely.

Sir,
I am marveled with the lecturing about a piece of equipment I own.lol..I did offer to measure output voltage/wattage to prove...even though it would take time to get there you won't let me do it first but you have made complete assumptions based on your experience. Haha

Anyone can order products and stipulate specifications they want,to any market place like alibaba or aliexpress either through RFQS OR direct production order. This is not new making manufacturers make savings for cheaper pricing for countries with low standard organizations.no one checks ...you pay they blink....

Sir,
Compliance is important ROHS,CE,EEE,FCC...I did mention that stores like ALBERTINA Will/Would not sell Chinese knock-offs as original.[DO YOUR DILIGENCE CONTROL]..they probably sell those Chinese ones based on their price tags..they still have the reputation last checked...I dont hold brief for them..

Do you know why computer ..Intel celeron is cheaper than core i or pentium etc...

These Chinese people rate what they like.I bet you any cash thats ain't up to 4kva but the label it 10kva cos we don't measure.

We can try next time I am home..i have one multimeter to check output wattage/voltage.I dont know If shops like Albertina sells Chinese knock off as original..

This look good sir,can you please share more light on this kind of formwork and why you chose iron not wood ?

I would say major advantage of steel trusses are span...
they can span further than timber and can be manufactured to exact standards without warping like wood..
More especially industrial buildings ...I dont know what building codes says...

1.the average age of your roof is increased as steel is a highly durable material.
2 It lasts longer with proper coating and can bear high stress and pressure

3.no pest and termites issues

Good morning Sir.
I got one for my carpenter, one for my Welder, they will tell me that it slows them down especially when climbing and even walking around on form works abs scaffold.

However, am still encouraging them to get used to wearing them. Even gloves � too.

Am sure they will get used to the new norm of wearing it.

Thanks for the compliment sir.

Typical workmen excuses...slows down work...prevention is better cure...⁷ all the best

2350 for wholesale Give link! We bought over 600 bags and the difference between the wholesale and retail was just 100naira.

We still paid 50naira per bag to the laborer for delivery.

If 1k is the gain per bag?? I will willingly and singlehandedly start a cement business today

Sir i do not have any link neither do i know where they sell cement..lol .I did update this when i responded to another Oga... The tweet i cited was based on price before February since the article with that price information was written February 17...see below

See Maxthon (screenshot below) for you!

Unless they have changed, what is malicious about the site in the address bar?

How come all other browsers did not flag it?

You have been going on and on with this for days
now sir but go on...

There are other factors why some website can be flagged as malicious...
1..Geolocation (some banks login can tag login as malicious ...my bank won't let in first attempt in abstract location.

2.some websites, most recently so called fake news and disinformation websites, might also be considered malicious websites by Ssl . These sites aim to spread discord, affect election outcomes, and disrupt the activities of human rights groups.

3.Vpn more especially the free ones.

There are alot of impractical advice online.. It's not possible that cement costs 2750 from factory and rituals at 4000 naira..

I know FinPaul Akinlaja. He's a financial analyst/ investment advisor. Some of his analysis are spot on.

Some people drop nuggets to appear clever and smart. They even lure you into some investments and one suffers loses at the end.

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say...sir read between the lines...the first part carries the weight....like I noted before...it is right advice probably wrong numbers right now...He got the numbers based on article that was written in February see link below .

https://nigerianprice.com/dangote-cement-price-today/

I mentioned factors like prices indices; price index (PI) is a measure of how prices change over a period of time, or in other words, it is a way to measure inflation.


Out of curiosity how do you Dr kalu ?

Dangote’s official price is N3720 per bag exclusive of haulage and offloading

I buy thru distributors but I know people working there , if you can get directly or thru a distributor cheaper than 3720 let me know , there is no distributor discount for more than a year now is what am told

Alright sir....in that case the distributor is selling to you flat rates? Or family and friends package? Abi they're increasing their purchase tally ?i don't have idea the price indices with cement...April to june just felt to share free chronicle probably with wrong data but good idea...

Like i said...storing not for long...a Builder here is doing maybe 4 buildings in one state or nearby....can easily do 2000 bags for short term storage ...perhaps �

He's right. I've bought enough and watched a lot of auctions to know.

Most Nigerians only bid on high mileage or severely accidented cars. It's very difficult to see a Nigerian win a bid for a car below 80,000 miles.

This is especially true for cars above 10 years. Those are the cars you find everywhere in the country.

It's not difficult at all sir...market entails....same as buildings here....you want premium you get premium sir.purchasing power sir ..amdman is selling at prices people are willing to pay....there are car sellers even on Instagram...Renee5star lady...even Emeka autos.... etc even here

The first thing I actually noticed and I concluded was that we all ain't safe from a robber who's interested in gaining entrance into someone's house.

The hinge could be easily unscrewed with a screw driver or with a chisel and Hammer.

Determined thief would break in ..irrespective of which hinges are used screws or nails.... my comment was solely on befitting hinge that MIGHT suit that fine door better...beauty is in the eye of beholder.... rust free hinges maybe .

We are saying the same thing. It's just that, I'm listening to you, but you are not listening to me. You are hearing me, but you are not listening.

WPA is out of date. True. But it is still an optional feature in routers. It has its uses in certain situations.

However, this forum is Naija based. So I can tell you from my experience, WPA is predominant in Nigeria. I've seen it being used in offices and in homes in Nigeria with my korokoro eye.

This is not safe enough. That's what I'm saying. Shey you see the example wey coffee machine bring ransom ware into a business. This can happen with a lot of modern day gadgets at home - fridges, washing machine, cookers, vacuum cleaner, home server, etc.

So going forward, in addition, it is smart money to get a VPN and anti Malware program. Some VPN come with Malware program.

Haha ...ok continue cheers
