If he gets 20% of ₦500,000 P/A

Almost ₦10,000 per month

Not even 30 year govt bond will give you 20% for 500k

Helinuse:
Nigerians and talk!

If you don’t know something, why not keep quiet?

What is the meaning of what you just said?

“Waste business is a multibillion business?” 😅
All these motivational speaker sef

Don't be ignorant bro, you have no idea the ridiculous "fees" these guys have to pay to state, local govt, community and their association.

At least this is case in south south.

My question to Mr Obi is this: If President Tinubu has destroyed the economy, how come a bank in which you have substantial shares (about 10%) and were its former Chairman of the Board?


Omo this is thought provoking

If you think about it, it means nothing.

Profit increased "increased because" the value of the Naira decreased.

If you doubt it check the profit comparison in dollars, you would find that many banks actually lost income,

Anybody have an idea of how much it costs to spay a female cat of 1 year 8 months who has had 2 sets of kittens

I am looking to save money to get myself ITIL v4 foundation certified but I am finding it difficult to research the exact cost of the exam (Exam only, no training needed) and also a reputable company that handles the exam, I've been recommended to try Harrybaker, But I would like more suggestions.

Wisemann101:
They sent offer letter today.

Congrats man.

Thanks for sharing, at least those of us who didn't get can move on now.

Any update from anyone yet?

Hello Everyone


I received a congratulatory message since the 14th of April, with the assurance the date and time for the final interview to be forwarded to me.

Ever since, I'm still waiting on the details of the final interview. I wouldn't know if anyone is in my shoes.

Have you checked your spam?

Cus mine went to spam, just that they called me on phone before sending it so I was expecting it.

Also, is it the accounting trainee you applied for? if so I don't think they have started final interview with you guys yet

First working day of the new month.

Hopefully they'll contact us soon.

That's true oh, any ideas on the compensation, best I could find for graduate trainees was N70k as at 2017 but with feeding, accommodation & transported taken care of.

That was five years ago during that naira/oil crash so it's probably better now.

From what I heard the graduate trainee engineer is port harcourt

haftob:
When did u get ur own mail?

Yesterday.

haftob:
Wow, congrats!
I think it's time I take it off my radar.

Don't give up yet, I did my final interview yesterday, theirs is tomorrow.

Yours might be another day.

Edited: be on the lookout, you might be contacted.

Please delete this picture of your key, do you realise someone can duplicate it just from the picture alone?

Chief, view through attached datasheet snapshot from company !

Going by the useable capacity of 3.75kWh, we can get the useable amp-hours by dividing by 25.6v, which gives 146.5AH, approximately 150AH.

This matches what I've been told is the actual capacity by users.

ayo1984:
please is EPEVER MPPT Charge Controller 30A 12V/24V okay?

For 30a I would recommend getting a cheap PWM CC.

Watch this video by Will prowse.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF_cVEYxj3E

At this power level there is no advantage of MPPT over PWM, and no significant savings in wire costs.

ojesymsym:
I need a lithium 24v, 200Ah or 400Ah. Is it cheaper to get locally or to import?

Not really an answer, just sharing.

I got to know a reputable seller on Alibaba from a Solar forum and the cells have been tested to be full capacity by multiple buyers and were recently confirmed to be manufactured by EVE a reputable battery maker.

These prismatic cells are 3.2v 280ah at about ₦33,000 each, so around ₦264,000 to make a 24v 280ah ~7Kwh battery weighing roughly 45kg.

The issue is shipping.

I chatted the company about shipping cost and their rep advised me to wait till miday before making any purchase as shipping prices are very high at the moment due to covid.

But I estimate shipping to cost between ₦90k and ₦150k, depending on if naira regains or losses value and if global shipping costs drop back down

So everything would be ~₦390k give or take ₦30k, plus a BMS @ ₦25k

Alternatively there is the Felicity 24v 200ah ~5Kwh battery which can be gotten locally at around ₦340k ~ ₦350k, need for BMS.

But I haven't really seen any review of it.

So my options are 7Kwh @ ~₦415k ± ₦30k or 5Kwh @ ~₦345k

Hello,

Hope you're enjoying quarantine.
Can I get a quote for https://a.aliexpress.com/_d6Hv6Zg

Lstar4real:
Item 1 - $628
Item 2 - $472.32
Shipping - $352
Service charge - $6
Total - $1458.32 - #605202

sorry boss, but can you give me a quote for only item A (https://a.aliexpress.com/_d6Hv6Zg). It seems to be the better option of the two.

mank1234:
How do you intend to balance the cells?

Wasn't planning on using both, which is why I asked for separate quotes.

I'm trying to decide which to get once the viral crisis is over.

Item A has a higher capacity and and has a higher cost but is actually cheaper per AH ($3.3/ah) than B ($4.72/ah) and is lighter/smaller than B.

Can I get seperate quotes for

Item A

Item B (with Busbars)

ojeysky:
Okay that's indeed small I won't worry much about the type of CC then but if you are looking at increasing capacity in future then it's better to plan for future scaling by getting good CC so you just have to worry about panels and batteries in future.

Hi, I'm new to this and trying to research as much as I can about solar systems so I can get a good system that will serve me well.

From what I've researched about LiFePo4, a 50ah lifepo4 battery should be equivalent to a 100 ah lead battery since those only have about 50% usable capacity.

If so this makes Lifepo4 batteries have the same price as lead acid for the same usable watt-hours.

Wow, I'm currently in Enugu for Ecobank entry level test.

Only to check my mail and see that I was successful. I wouldn't have wasted transport here if the mail had come sooner.

Just watched episode 06, really interesting.

But man if you thought Dick was too violent then Jason's level of violence will surprise you. He is ultra violent and has serious personal issues just like in the comics.

I like Kory's new suit but not the lipstick.

Codecademy has an interactive lesson on git, while GitHub is easy once you know git.

Practice makes perfect, so once you're done with the lesson immediately start using git and GitHub with whatever project you're working on atm.

Remember google is your friend, and issue you run into with git can be easily solved with some google-fu, but take care when merging branches with uncommitted files.

Lastly, if you're stuck on how any command works, git comes with help pages that can be accessed via "git help <command>" eg. "git help commit"

optional: google "how to generate an ssh key and add it to github", also consider getting a GUI for git (the windows installer for git comes with one, Linux does not) but note it won't be as flexible or powerful as typing the command yourself.

additional: Basically for git you just have to get used to incorporating it into your workflow then it becomes second nature.
a basic workflow or a new project goes roughly like this

git init

git status

git add <filename>

or

git add .

git commit -m "initial commit"

git remote add -m master origin https://github.com/example-user/example.git/

// github stuff

git remote pull origin

git remote push origin

discman2k2:
There are some things called electromagnetic waves, which is full of energy. When u make or receive calls from ur celluphone, it draws or attracts a very high intensity emw (electromagnetic waves). An d if there is aanything im d pathway of d energy, it sparks it: Gas in enclosed area or fuel that is around without any warning (instant). Lest i forget, fuel or Cooking gas are called Volatile gases or substances, meaning "easily ignitable "
So, when u combined a high amount of energy pathways of the emw, in an environment of Volatile gases, u get an instant EXPLOSION (without warning ).

Thast y we must not be extremely careful around those substances, like Cooking gases, Gas fuels, or petrol or Perfumes, or some others of its kind.

WARNING : PLS BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND ANY VOLATILE SUBSTANCE.

MAY GOD HELP US ALL. AMEN!

As an electrical engineer, I hereby declare the quoted post above is bullshit.

Looking at the pictures and judging from the burn radius it is highly unlikely that was a large explosion as OP claimed.

whatever hit her was a small localized explosion centered around the left side of her face.
The likely candidate is therefore none other than her cellphone itself, it's battery to be precise which holds a lot of energy in chemical form, went the way of the samsung galaxy note 7.

Greetings fellow nairalanders,
A relation is presently battling with skin discolouration which i was made to understand is vitiligo.
I need advice on how to assist the young girl because she is presently depressed owing to this strange illness.
I will appreciate any advice on how to stop the spread or totally cure it if possible.
Thank you.

That's very bad oh!, I was afflicted with this same thing 6 years ago a year b4 I got admission to University, I was wearing long sleeve 24/7 no matter the weather.

It persisted for over a year and I almost lost all hope.

But the solution turned out to be rather simple. A doctor I met told me he had seen this b4 and that it is mainly caused by dry skin easily that sheds (and sometimes an overactive immune system) so all I should do to stop my skin from shedding is

To stop using sponge of any kind to bathe, just use hands to apply soap then wash off.

After bathing dry skin gently with towel i.e just use the towel to touch wet areas (DO NOT MAKE SCRUBBING MOTIONS just pat with towel)

Use good skin cream and skin moisturizer.

I thought it was too simple after my family had spent a lot of money but I followed his instructions and lo and behold barely a month later I started seeing results, 3 months later my skin was a uniform colour.

Hope this helps.

princetom1:
If money isn't barrier, and GLO isn't a deal breaker, go for the cool 1 64 gig version, it's less than 210 usd in a store, and why do u wanna use that SIM adapter? U wount be able to use case with ur phone. Or better still, u will force a case on it and damage the case fast or the after too sef

Thanks

fibonacci2526:
Why are people concerned about cracked screen? Na dey use una phone play ball? Get a solid tempered glass and lot of spares too.

Actually my current phone is an infinix zero 1 which I've used for 2½ years without ever cracking the fragile screen, but still why take chances

fibonacci2526:
Oga no go spoil your phone with that adapter you quoted. That's extreme na.

If your main sim is glo, go for the special edition.

My main issue with the special edition is that it almost impossible to find replacement screen if yours cracks.

Guys, btw the xiaomi redmi note 3 special edition and the leeco coolpad 1, which would you advice I get.

Xiaomi main points:
1.) Supports Glo 4g (my main sim)

2.) Can use two sims/one sim & sdcard, but with this adapter https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32788674545.html you can use two sims and an sdcard together.

3.) Single 16mp camera

4.) Does not have quick charge by default but can be enabled by flashing a custom kernel though I'd like to avoid this.

5.) Hexacore snapdragon processor

6.) Difficult to see replacement screen (152mm) and good case.



Leeco coolpad 1:

1.) Does not support glo 4g

2.) Can use two sims but no sdcard support at all

3.) Dual 13mp camera

4.) Has quick charge and usb c by default

5.) Octacore snapdragon processor.

6.) Easy to find replacement screen and good cases


Which is better
