gordii:
This play by pdp is all too familiar... I'm not interested in whomever emerges victorious, I'm not from ekiti so I'm more interested in 2019 presidential election , but i believe pdp is taking the idea of playing the victim too far. From what I've learnt it's not exactly like the whole state is all in for pdp considering what's happening to civil servants; so there's every likelihood that apc could win fair and square even without the results being manipulated. So for me pdp are giving themselves an softlanding for whatever the outcome is
Good thinking.

My Prediction

By this time tomorrow, you'll be crying cry
I suggest:

1: You let an independent mind help look in your crystal ball; or
2. You take a second look yourself at your crystal ball;
3. If by now you see nothing different from your original prediction, then start again from 1.

09:04 @INEC Office, Ilejemeje LGA, collation of result on going.

*Total, Ilejemeje Local Government, Iye-Ekiti.*

Results collated from collation officers from different collation centers.

No of Registered Voters: 15808

No of Accredited Voters: 8388

Results of political parties
APC:4153
PDP:3937
This seems to tally with the graphics of ongoing results from all the LGA's as posted by drlateef at 8:08pm (re-posted above.) So the graphic is likely authentic.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by duwdu:
pranil:
The aliexpress is an official store for retail ( small order business) The inverter is made probably made in China but assembly and shipping is from Taiwan for Africa and from Germany for Europe.
I agree. I got my PCM60X to Lagos directly from mppsolar out of Taiwan. IIRC, it cost me a few $'s less, w.r.t. shipping costs. Plus, I got to establish a direct email relationship with the frontal/semi-tech rep. At a point after my PCM60X purchase, I was even negotiating for one of those new GK series, but the quoted shipping cost made me pull back. That may change in the future, though.

Add: BTW, there was a follow-up on the initial YouTube video post on the 5048GK... The key thing I got out of the new video, (see link,) is that mppsolar has formally advised of a caveat emptor: to be mindful of possible early wear on components that may be caused by repeated yo-yoing of available solar power, occasioned by cloud covers. Seeing that, someone like me may end up waiting for the second or third generation of the 5048GK model.

makavele:
Sorry for the delay; duty calls.

here is the review of the 2kva microtek.

You already know how the inverter looks so i will skip physical attributes.

The inverter is rated for 2kva with a power factor of 1. which is impossible. So lets say 0.8; that puts it at 2kva x 0.8 = 1,6kW real power.

I have actually loaded the inverter up to 1500 W and it didn't cut off due to overload; so it's very good there.

But the problem i have with it is surge power which is non-existent; I mean zero.

My fridge is rated for 120W and freezer is rated for 125W thereabouts. I tried putting both of them on at the same time; and the inverter cuts o

off due to overload. So I had to set a timer to make the fridge come on 5 seconds after the freezer.

If the water dispenser (hot: 580W or so) is turned on; as soon as the cold (110W) comes on too; inverter cuts off.

So It cannot handle surges at all. The inverter is very quiet. Has 2 fan (rear + side) which kick in when its loaded to about 350W only . .

Though they are very quiet and smooth. It's a true sine wave; no humming of appliances. The crests might flatten out at higher power draw, i

can't tell cos you would need an oscilloscope for that. It is rugged, yes, idle power draw is 21W ( believe that ).

But my LED bulbs do flicker; especially when it is not loaded. Load the inverter and they become stable.

Also, when power is restored, my LED flicker deeply (just once) but very noticeable .. that is how I know when NEPA has struck or restored

power, lol; apart from the siren in the estate.

It is cool to touch even at maximum load; very lovely heat-exchange design. and Outputs about 20A during charging. Three stage charge; bulk

to float. But the float voltage is 13.3 (cyclic use) as against 13.6 - 13.8 (the norm for deep discharge).

Absorb is also at 13.8 as against 14.4 for my batteries. That is where I have a problem with it. It has a settings at the back for higher voltage, I

did it, still same thing. Uhmm, what else??

Lovely green LED lights for notification. Transfer time is about 10ms and it transfers power from grid and charges even when off.
This type of real world review is always very useful and quite pertinent, makavele; many thanks for posting.

Hmm... Never thought of this possibility. But now that I've seen a mention of it possibly happening, it's actually not a bad idea... Something to get that Saraki vermin off our national psyche, and at the same time start enabling the southeast geopolitical zone play a more robust role in our legislative arm of government at the national level.

Hmm... The man PMB is clearly on his way to mastering the treacherous landscape of Nigerian politics, but he's by no means there - yet.

Mehn, considering how far down the path of ignominy the Nigerian polity had been, PMB still has a long way to go, IMHO. The billion Naira question is, does PMB have the mindset at this stage in his existence, to push much higher? I honestly don't think so.

Saraki and co thought they were having the upper hand, sitting on every request of the president. But the Man has proven that he cannot be moved by their treachery, coupled with more matured politics he has played above them in recent times, hence their decision to play along.

"...the Senate presidency has been zoned to the SE,..." This, (if true and effected following the 2019 elections, and assuming the APC wins,) will be another masterstroke of a move by the APC, and has the ultimate potential to finally bury the PDP as it currently exists.

The nPdp are acting on Saraki's direction. They wanted to blackmail Pmb to drop corruption charges against Saraki and secure a second term for him as Senate president. Both demands were rejected - Saraki's prosecution must be concluded and Senate presidency is zoned to SE. Saraki is in a dilemma - he is not finding things easy in Apc and it will be political suicide to dump the party

Politics › Re: Shehu Sani To Contest Against El-Rufai In Kaduna Governorship Election by duwdu: 10:39am On Jun 18, 2018
FlirtyKaren:
The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the red chamber, Shehu Sani, who addressed journalists who paid him Sallah homage in Kaduna, said if solutions to the identified challenges in the APC are not taken care of in the coming weeks, there will be no going back on their decision to leave the party for good.

Senator Shehu Sani also disclosed that the APC, as it is, today, stands on a foundation of injustice against its members, just as he reiterated that the party has failed to live up to its promises and pledges of a transparent internal democracy.

The Senator also said he will be contesting the governorship of the state, unless the Kaduna political stakeholders, which he is a member, decide otherwise.

“We condemned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the past for not being fair and just to its members, but the APC has found itself in similar, if not worst situation, as at today.”

“There is a Kaduna political stakeholders, made up of former governors, lawmakers and various party chieftains, and, as a team player, I am a member. I am going to contest the governor of Kaduna State, but, if the stakeholders insist on me going back to the senate, I will have no objection, whatsoever.

“Nigerians are now more resolved and conscious to vote for people of integrity who will work for them, hence, I have the confidence of winning my election in whatever party I contest, because people will vote individuals based on merit, and not party, in the 2019 general elections.

“As it is today, over 25 registered political parties have come to us to express solidarity and support, and I can confirm to you that opposition from Kaduna State will come under an alliance of forces in the coming elections.

“ I want to make it clear that should I contest and become the governor of Kaduna State, I will open the government house to the masses" he said.

The Sun reported that Senator Shehu Sani who expressed optimism for a peaceful and transparent election in 2019, called on people to remain peaceful and work together to bring an end to violence, stressing that he has no grudges against anybody except political differences.

https://lailasnews.com/kaduna-guber-ill-contest-against-el-rufai-shehu-sani/
This Shehu Sani guy has made so much money in just the four years during which he would have been n the Senate, that he has lost all touch and reality with his own original character. He will soon learn - following his impending loss after the election for whatever office he'll next contest for - that khaki no be leather.

To me, people like Sani don't possess anything near the character or staying power of personalities such as Balarabe Musa, or even Omoyele Sowore. These gentlemen didn't rise to power on the back of Buhari and then start thumping their noses at the same establishment. I have a feeling that ordinary el-Rufai will make sure Sani pays for Sani's shenanigans, hehehe.

I will never run a gnome 3 distro on a 4gb ram laptop unless I intend to use it for nothing other than browsing the web. It is not unusual for gnome 3 to use close to 1.6gb ram on bootup. I just doesn't make sense and to make it worse, nothing is being done to address the problem.

Saipro:
Just to disillusion you on the nameplate vs actual values, I once rush ordered a set of 250W panels to expand and match my existing 240W panels up on the mount. Lo and behold, I was sold the exact same panels as I previously had as 250W panels. The 240W readings were a perfect match to their nameplates whereas the 250W panels read nothing like their nameplate and read exactly as the 240W ones. The figures on the 250W panels didn't even make sense.

It could be you had a mismatch from the outset with sustained reverse current burning your diode and cable.
Hmm; although the quality of the photograph taken of the second nameplate may be a factor, but I think the poor quality of the printing job itself on the nameplate is a dead giveaway that the panel is not necessarily 100% genuine, to begin with. Just a thought.
