Many don't have fire alarm in their house. We have the wireless one now

I've seen lot of expensive houses with no fire alarm systems nor fire extinguishers..... That's a very great risk to take on such heavy investment sha

As a marine engineer, I've seen billions of dollars assets consumed by fire because of carelessness and non-working fire fighting/alarm systems... Even in my house, i have a CO2 fire extinguisher and I've taught my wife how to use it... and I service it annually at 15k.

I even have a fire blanket in my kitchen too, this was gifted to me by a foreign chef on one of the vessel I worked three years ago (This helps in fighting oil spill fires in the kitchen)

My ongoing house project will have fire alarm systems in all the rooms, Gas leakage and smoke alarm detector in the kitchen (All powered by rechargeable batteries)

This alarm can be tested weekly or monthly with smoke spray aerosol or improvised smoke from paper (Which is not advisable)

diordaves:
Yes it is different. It is thicker and made mainly from cement mixed with fibre. The fibre infused and thickness means you can work it into organic designs without it breaking easily.

The old asbestos is made purely to a large extent from asbestos which causes cancer. It is so slime (about 0.5mm), that it is difficult to work into organic designs without the risk of breakage. You can only achieve geometric designs (four corner).

However, in terms of FINISHED product, yes they are both the same.

I'm just hearing fiber-cement board for the first time, i guess because POP is the rave of the moment in interior designing now

I've "googled" about the fiber-cement board and its a very good choice of material, since its resistance to fire, heat and mold

I'm currently building at the moment but i would like to know more about this fiber-cement board before i choose it as my preferred ceiling choice

1. Does it has the same wood arrangement like the POP? or it has own dimension when carrying out the woodwork
2. Does it come in different sizes and thickness?
3. Apart from Nigerite, do we have another manufacturer in Nigeria that can compete in quality and price?
4. Any idea how much this fiber-cement board cost?
5. Does it require special installations or the POP guys can still install it?

routerman2:
Don’t say you have not been informed

Now you are taking this issue very far and you never had intent of buying but to scare away his potential buyers because of his low price compared to other greedy and selfish retailers selling for more than 500k per unit

Definitely, You are a retailer trying to blackmail this honest fellow.....

I bought a brand new unit for this guy without any issues..... But why are you tagging the seller a scammer when you've not even paid for an item

You can do better!!!! After all you go still complain say government bad but your personality stinks more than the government.

If that jobless fellow @BeanManX thinks i will snap a device and post it here just confirmation i bought the unit, Then he must be sick from his anus... Because we are using the same platform does not mean we are mate in reality...

@Tosin1570 kindly avoid those "bad belle" retailers trying to tarnish your business

eteebanky1:
You don't mean well for the Naira and this country

Na God go judge you, Naira about to reach #1500 mark per dollar

God will surely judge you according to your deeds, I don't want to curse you to avoid ban

LMFAO, dude i get it........ The country and recent economy could be so frustrating that could make someone go mental, but that doesn't mean you should bring such ill manners to my side.

Go out and get a job..... Stop hating on what you cant afford cos na witchcraft be that

I'm not the cause of your problem, shift one side

BeanmanX:
Yes I'm requesting you to snap it let others see since you said you are already using it.

Mr. Man please just go and sleep one side.............

If you don't think the seller is not legit, then you can leave his thread.

Seems you are new on Nairaland, I'm not a jobless fellow........ Have a nice day

eteebanky1:
Na all this imported items dy make our foreign reserve suffer, Made naira useless by the Day



Make sacrifices for this our dear country, I know Glo isn't up to starlink standard

But buy and use Glo, shun all this useless imported goods

Delete this thread with immediate effect

I get it lol, If something is out of your capacity or reach... You do not have to condemn it

Buy your Glo and use it in peace....

Starlink and Glo users can still coexist in peace

BeanmanX:
Can you snap the one boy bought from him?

Why should i do that? To proof i really bought the unit? lol una funny sha.........

routerman2:
How are we sure that you guys are not their accomplice

Some Nigerians are funny sha..... Lot of folks are selling this unit as high as 500-600k plus, but when you see a vendor who is reasonable with his prices una go dey cry foul play....

The guy is legit, i got one unit from him.... even he increased his price, its relatively fair cos its an imported goods and Naira is not stable

GerogeI:
I bought it unbranded as a sample. But its manufactured by Fouyan Electronic, you will see many adverts with third party OEM branding. Here is a link

swagifted:
black market prices na around 650k or less for registered ones... The unregistered ones some vendor de call one million plus. But starlink officially don de advertise for 440k...i never try order.

Jumia is selling it for 440k

I bought a brand new unregistered unit on this forum for 425k last week

Betnomore:
I'm not saying his water or products are bad. It's just the way he conducts his bysiness is not what I'm comfortable with. I contacted him few months ago regarding the distilled water and he told me the price. I told him i would be coming to abule egba to pick up when my route is around that area as i cant afford to pay for delivery. Can you belive this giy just blocked me on whatsapp? I can't compel him on how to conduct his business but as a buyer also, I can decide not to patronize him. I just need a local seller here in Ikorodu. Thanks

The guy is unserious business man too....... He will spam the whole thread with his advert, but to reply to whatsapp messages is a problem....
I needed a 12V Hybrid inverter urgently and I contacted him about it, up till now my message on whatsapp has not been replied

Thank God i got it from @isangJohnson

GerogeI:
Yes, that's what we knew previously, that inverters require either a battery or a reference voltage to work. Am not sure why.

But I own a Chinese inverter that will gladly bypass the battery once the Sun is reasonably bright at around 8 -10am. So I now reserve my old dead batteries are for refrigerator in day time, at night - phones and lighting.

What's the brand name and model?

Mikelarteta:
I have an inverter generator for sale that I brought to Ng from Canada. If you have a buyer pls let me know. I also have 4.5 and 5KVA Tokunbo Generators also for sale.

lemme see picture and spec of this.........

Pro Tip: If you are thinking of trying this stunt by June, July and early August, Sorry is your name because you will prefer jumping to death than vomiting all your intestine out when the vessel is underway and rolling over the high tides of the ocean....

Secondly, Before a foreign cargo ships departs, The chief officer onboard ensures there's no stowaway onboard, sometimes the vessel rep or company sends a speedboat to go round the rudder compartment to confirm before the engine is engaged.... (Part of departure pre-checklist)

Just pray you don't end being a stowaway on some foreign ships that will make it easy for them to throw you overboard than going through lot of paperworks filling your detainment at their next port of call or paying hefty fines.

No vessel or crew will help a stowaway because its a criminal offense and could get them imprisoned, the best is to report to the nearest flag state of the country for your arrest.

He needs PH based person

Rany4all:
I said it. Haven seen pictures of some of your installations, I knew you'd do this quite well. See how you took your time to take measurements, draw lines and then do your cutout at the intersection. Honestly, many "trained electricians" do not know how to do this or just don't bother to do what they know. The aesthetic aspect of their job is not something they consider as important, unfortunately.

That is why he's different from the rest of electricians, His work sets him apart, Quality and aesthetics and he has modern tools.....

I was amazed with his wire arrangement in a DB (It was really neat).

I hope to engage him soon on my project..... Cos i have an electrical design system i need for my house, Which involves DC wiring for Emergency lightings, fire alarm systems.....

Hello gents...

I have a co-worker building his house in Onne, I suggested he should install HDF flush doors internally in his house and he requires someone who can do the job and must be in Port Harcourt.

Who can recommend a trusted person for the job?

tosin1570:

nonny1212:
LG dual inverter. Very durable and cools very well.. Emphasis on Dual inverter

1.5 would do a good job

@Jaymin007, Take this advice and enjoy!!!

adibo:
Mercury has this exact spec

Do you have the model name?

I need 12V 1500watts Pure Sine Wave Hybrid Inverter with 80A Inbuilt MPPT Charger

I've only seen PowMr brand with this spec, but any recommendation for a good and more affordable brand that is compatible for Lithium or LA Batteries is highly needed

If you are a vendor, Kindly quote with your price.........

So about people with 5-6 bank accounts?

Are they gonna link them individually?

Obnoxious2001:
How do I join the group.

The admin of the TG only admits people with the seafarers professional license (That’s the Officers TG )

My best advice is to check for maritime vacancies on Linkedin (Follow maritime pages so you can see their post on your feeds)

Another advantage of getting a maritime jobs is if you are from one of the oil and gas host communities (They do get recommended to companies for jobs as part of their CSR)

Obnoxious2001:
Is there any place this companies post vacancy?

Because marine jobs is usually a man know man scenario

LinkedIn

But Mariners have closed telegram groups where job vacancies are shared and majority jobs are based on recommendations by other seafarers

marvin906:
Do you have any currently looking for placement at sea

I don’t recommend people to agents….. Apply to the companies directly.

marvin906:
Is crewing agents advisable for getting jobs.
Currently looking for a vessel to start my sea term

Yes it’s advisable but beware of some crooks masking as agents.

matify83:
Well!

I may not have the answer to this question because I'm not sure we have put off our cooling systems for more than 2 hours at a time ever.

Alright I think I’m gonna finally get one and use with my solar system

matify83:
4 Years on, no issues

Cool, what’s the cooling retention after 24hours?

matify83:
It's splendid!

I use a 3.5kva 12v kartel inverter and 4 220AH tubular batteries I connected in parallel to make 880AH.

I power virtually every thing in the house including an lg inverter AC for most of the afternoons , an lg inverter fridge/freezer and a bona solar chest freezer.

I've been fully off grid for going to 6 years by May and I don't have any regrets at all.

The installation was done DIY with little touch by my electrician.

How’s your experience with that Bona chest freezer?

Ourchampion:
my LG 1hp dual inverter AC blows cold air for a few seconds then starts blowing warm air till i turn it off. Fouani says the board is bad and is quoting me 170k to fix it, has any one encountered something similar and solved it for less. The AC is 5yrs old and out of waranty.

@sacramento1212
@fashrola
@mangolpupa

If not for the current economy and price of things, I would have advice you to add money and get a new AC….. or better still get another good technician to access the problem (Definitely their quotation will be less cheaper)

But you should try and use Stabilizer with the AC first… sometimes low voltage could cause issues like this….

OvertheTop:
DSTV sub in a Month is Like 10k/month or less.
I'm sure with the Internet Service Providers above, you might spend More than 10k Data Subscription

ok, Kindly share your monthly subscription cost for each one

Kindly Note, I'm Not in support of DSTV.... I'm also looking for a viable Alternative.

10k subscription will not give you premium channels, 29500 per month gives you premium channels.

That’s why I said Unlimited plans like Starlink and local broadband is more better.

But if you are a very busy person and a bachelor, Data sub is better and you watch only when you want to watch an important TV programme.

OvertheTop:
But Streaming is Not Free....
the Cost You will likely spend on Data is >>(Greater) than DSTV subscription
so in my own thought, Streaming is not a Great/ Cost effective alternative to DSTV

Streaming is cost effective if you have an unlimited internet services such as Starlink, fiber optics services which provides unlimited data access.

If you are a very busy person, Sim data subscription is more better, cos I don’t think you can spend 6hrs watching TV in a day rather DSTV sub is running without being in use.
