Please I follow you cos you seem to have a knack for high quality products. Do you intend to use solar energy in your house ? If yes how would you advise one goes about getting the materials or what products to get. Thank you
I use Solar energy in my house….. I have two inverter system though connected into same system which I can change over to any at anytime

* 3.5kva 48V inverter though not connected with Solar PV (Using power grid and generator to charge) This system is a year and 3 months old with no issues and only use it for heavy duty chores like washing machine and Ironing
Inverter: Exide Inverter (Transformer based) This Inverter is good, rugged and reliable…. I dunno Wetin India use build this inverter grin
Batteries: Oscar Tubular flooded batteries

* 1.6Kva 12v hybrid Inverter with inbuilt 80A MPPT CC (This system is connected to Solar PV) using it to power my deep freezer during day time and sometimes for washing machine at peak sunlight during the day and reserve some juice for fans and lighting at night

Inverter: PowMr HVM2H 1600W and can surge up to 2000W
Batteries: 12v 280ah LifePO4 it was coupled by the great Nairalander Valto
Solar Panel: Jinko Panels I bought it at Fouani

I have used both systems with no issues and it’s serving me well with my great power management skills

Just get a good solar technician for energy audit in your house before installation, we have good installers on Nairaland too

I bought a solar panel but I noticed when I use it on my starlink I hear some news coming from my starlink router like it about to blow off. I usually off the router so it don’t burn off because of the noise. Please can anybody know why the sound is coming out from the router
Confirm if your Inverter is Modified or Pure Sine wave inverter............

Modified Sine wave does not generate clean energy to some sensitive appliances especially Starlink routers

Most seasoned Interior designers can take over from any stage you want them to.

The difference is that they will inflate the prices since they are outsourcing all the jobs and want to make profit from all, so you will pay more depending on what you want them to handle.

For cost effectiveness, do as much as you can yourself, let them come and add finishing touches.
Alright thanks for your input, that means I have to show the plumber the Inspo idea and where to lay the pipes so that the interior designs can take over from there....

Dear Gents.... I want to ask a question

I have bathroom/Inspo idea i saw online, and currently i'm building though not yet to the plumbing stage.

When do interior designer comes in to make this inspo a reality?

Do they handle the plumbing jobs or after the plumbing has been done by a different artisan........ Or do they get to handle all the plumbing jobs at once?

TravelRe: Tug Boat Piloting Barge Load Of Containers Sinks At Tin-can Port by fashrola(m):
This maybe a case of a push and pull Nigerian local fabricated tug with incompetent crews manning the boat to tow a flat barge loaded with containers that’s above its towing capacity

While we await for a comprehensive report on the accident, alway carry out JSA and Towing checklist before carrying out towing operation.

Name of the tug boat also missing in the report…. Cos lot of tugs in our coastal water are not seaworthy talkess of carrying out towing operation

Another conflicting report from the dockworkers, While offloading the containers from the barge, the container fell on tug causing the tug to take in water?

This one na real bobo sha… Wetin carry tug under crane when it’s duty is to tow the barge safely to the Quayside and leave immediately before offloading operation.

Tug no Dey transport goods….. so why would a container fall on the tug? angry

From my experience as a seafarer

Simulated scenario: The tug might have been contracted to tow the barge to the quayside, the contractor didn’t inspect the boat to know if it’s seaworthy (I’ve seen a case of old tugs where the crew uses cement to seal leaking overboard valves and their rusted hull) and may have hit the quayside while trying to berth the barge and started taking in water (Even though, ships do have bilge pumps to pump water ingress onboard)

4 months ago we rescued a distress boat that carries Yokohama fender for tankers that brought a crude oil tanker for export operation, The boat was taking in water and we went to standby close to them in case they need evacuation (Thankfully they had cement onboard and they started doing their usual magic, this shows that it has been happening before) when you are trying to cut cost… lot of things happens which might cost you a fortune, most of those tugs are out of class hence not insured, that’s why they are dirt cheap to hire for job.


Make them commot $15,000 per day hire better tug boats for their safe operation them no go die cheesy

EducationRe: Blessing Iripia Alims: UNICAL Elects First Female SUG President After 49 Years by fashrola(m): 11:48am On Jun 15, 2024
FreeStuffsNG:
Congratulations Madam President. Here's wishing you all the best. Please serve excellently.

Las las, UNICAL will still set JAMB admission cut off mark at a ridiculously disgraceful 140 out of 400 (35% admission pass) and accept 5'O level passes from combined two sittings results in its 49 years of mediocre admission standard. Smh.
Same mediocrity prevails at UNIUYO too with 140 cut off and 2 sittings O level!

Serious organizations know how 35% score can get you admitted into your school so don't be shocked when they don't hire products from schools like this in Nigeria.

It is no surprise that UNICAL undergraduates are failing massively. The university is culpable by lowering admission requirements to the most ridiculously low and mediocre level that should make every serious employer not to take any product of UNICAL serious.

The University of Calabar has been admitting failed JAMB candidates yet the federal Government keeps subsidising such mediocrity.

It's completely unacceptable to have any Federal Government funded school to be admitting students who fail JAMB. It's ridiculous. The Federal Ministry of Education should stop this mediocrity. 35% is not a pass mark!

Congratulate her and move on….. Must you keep spreading fake news?

UNICAL and UNIUYO will not admit and prospective student with 140 JAMB scores

I am also selling it with the Starlink Router mount and the Ethernet adapter mount I ordered last year from Amazon….

I do not need the mount again since it didn’t come on time before getting it another one

Everything goes for 65k

“This is an emergency and it has to be handled with speed. The lives of more than 60,000 Muslim pilgrims are in danger and the Federal government must move to save them.


It beggars belief that nobody in the top echelon of the partisan Labour unions considered this category of Nigerians. This is because the heads of the two unions are Non-Muslims and they had poor consultations across the spectrum.

It's surprising Nigerian Maritime workers earn this poor. How can a captain earn 1.5m to 2m per month? This is the salary my company pay graduate trainee engineers that just came out of training center. Na wa o.

But my guy that works in Bonny Transport, a subsidiary of NLNG, lives large. I think he earns well.

Also I never knew BOSUN is not a high level position.
Indigenous company with the local content came and mess the maritime industry up with their low pay scale (Blacks are cursed)

Mostly captains on security boats (This type of boats are manned by OOW holders or class 2) that's why they are paid such amount... But captains on bigger vessel earns more especially if it's a DP vessel.

Companies like Caracal, Temile, Topaz now P&O pays well....... A Captain earns $400 per day or more especially on DSV or PSV vessels......

Bosun are experienced seamen and they are in charge of the ratings onboard the ship........

Obnoxious2001:
Sir I saw your post on another thread (marine engineer was mentioned so it diverted my attention)
I just finished my B.Eng in marine engineering, am looking forward to getting into the marine sector.

I will appreciate your guidance sir ( I don't have any papers yet am a total newbie)

I will be patiently waiting for your response
Congratulations on your degree...... I guess you know degree does not count at all when it comes to seafaring jobs.

There are two routes to seafaring jobs

1. Cadetship (Just like internship)
2. Ratings (This cadre can move up to officership if they wanna progress in their career)

You have to decide with route you wanna take............

1. Cadetship is the best way for you since you have a degree in Marine engineering, but it is always the hardest route to get due to Nigeria factor (Not enough ships to train all the cadets annually) and lot of companies loves recruiting cadet from schools like

Maritime Academy of Nigeria
Charkin Maritime
School of Fishery and Oceanography

In fact, I was recruited after my HND by a maritime company who came to school to source for cadets......

Cadetship requires you to have at least 12 months experience onboard, which is documented as ship stamps on your discharge booklet, then after completion of cadetship, you apply to NIMASA for eligibility letter, Depending on the type of ship you worked will determine whether you will be issued an NCV or Unlimited eligibility letter, which you will be interviewed before issuance, then you will take the eligibility letter to Maritime Academy of Nigeria to apply and pay for OOW preparatory class (Class starts every January to April and exams by June)

NIMASA will give out date for the exams and oral interview, If you pass, you will be issued an OOW license (The timeline for result to come out is around 3-4 months)


2. Ratings: This route is a very dicey one because it favours the host community very much, This slot is reserved for them as part of maritime company CSR, except you are very lucky to be employed as a rating onboard (This is most peculiar to offshore vessels)

This route requires you to start as an OS (Ordinary seaman) because you do not have an experience (Especially if you wanna work on tanker vessels)

But if you want to work onboard offshore vessels, Then you need get the following documents first:

1. International Passport
2. Discharge Booklet - Please kindly google to get more insight about this documents (You have to apply at NIMASA office to get this document, its available at Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar & Lagos)
3. Yellow card
4. Seafarers medical fitness certificate - This can be done at authorized NIMASA Hospitals in your region (Check NIMASA's website to see lost of authorized hospitals)



When you've gotten the above-mentioned documents, then you have to register for Able Seafarer Engine watchkeeping certificate at NIMASA
Kindly note: You won't be registered for the exams if you do not have at least 12 months stamps on your discharge booklet, I know lot of folks fake ship stamps on their discharge booklet to apply for the exams, but that is not the best thing to do (Just the situation of not getting a job on ships are making people to do the wrong thing)

You will asked basic ship questions, engine room questions etc..... (This is why you need to have an experience as an OS before going for watchkeeping exams.

After passing the exams, The certificate will be ready in 3-4 months time which you then go for biometric at NIMASA office before collection of the certificate.

After collection of the certificate, this enables you to apply fully as an oiler ONBOARD offshore vessels.

The fibre board are of standard size. To save cost, decide what you want from the beginning - POP or Fibre board. When you are doing your roof wood work, tell the carpenter to nog for POP or Fibre.

There must be in Awkward Ibom.
Thank you, Definitely using POP for living room, the rest will be fiber-cement boards including Kitchen

1. Does it have the same nogging as POP?
No. A 6mm fibre cement board (N13,300) will be about 1.24mm x 2.44mm in size. So the size of the board will determine your nogging. So you have to decide from the beginning what ceiling solution that you want when roofing. The carpenter that will do your roofing wood work SHOULD also do your nogging. You will save a lot by so doing than having the carpenter to only do your roofing wood work. When you now want to do ceiling, you will spend extra more doing the nogging first.

2. Fibre cement come in different sizes.

3. Apart from Nigerite, there are other fibre cement boards imported into Nigeria. There is also Eminite as well.

4. Price?

I'm currently not on ground in Nigeria, so I don't know the current price but see above
thank you so much........ So that means before woodwork, I have to determine the size i will use before the nogging right?

Do Nigerite have any distributor or installer in Akwa Ibom?

It’s good for wall cladding too, both internal and external. That’s what we are using on our current project. Installation is on DIY basis since we have all tools and consumables needed.

No need of screeding again. Just look for good paint sprayer like the one we are using - Wagner HEA Airless Sprayer.
You can also by Gaco/Magnum too, if you have the cash.
There are China-made sprayers too on the market.

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)
