I trust my Nairalander family to sniff out scams from a mile away so I just did a quick check here.

@Daboomb, this is where we don't think things through sometimes, What about a colletive solar farm for a group of individauls or a solar array project for a block of Flats. High in acqusition but cheap on the long run. was even in Naija back in a while was invited to a discussion in Gbagada where some Landlord's were talking of a solar array farm for them , how feasible and at what cost, we have about 12hrs sunlight in Naija why not make use of it.
The today Technological advancement is there to be made use of not also ohing and haing how the oyinbo people do it. I agree due to its acqusition high cost it may seem daunting but if you calculate how much you will save in 20yrs and also not contributing to the burden of the Enviroment it is a win, win situation.(considering the Epilectic PHCN power supply in Nigeria now)
Batteries are the only weak point in a solar setup but with the high rate of Technological advancement, It is also been conquered,
Lifepo4 for, example the Tesla used batteries to name a few. with depth of discharge DoD up to 90% and nothing do the battery! still going on strong with 10years warranty

Daboomb:


Absoluetly No Impact!

Just ensure that your generator is of equal aor higher capacity, than the Fast Charger/Setup you are using or charging.
You will notice this when you Generator starts 'screaming' above its normal self, when you connect or swith the charger on with Generator.

But nothing to worry about.

Daboomb:







There is a 'possible' misconception here, l think.

A million niara is about $2,700.

A Solar Inverter of such range- amount from Sunny Boy is about 9KW (9,000 Watts) and it is a GRID-TIE inverter.
You wont need that in your house if all you need just enough equipment to generte Power for your household usage.

'Grid-Tie' is when you generate enough energy with so much excess that you want toi "sell" the excess to the Utility company, by tieing your own excess generation, to the Public Utility company such that they pay you money for it in return (You are like PHCN, selling Power to the Public).

That Inverter is a special one and different from what the slef-service user need.

Most households dont use more than a 4-5KW Inverters and they are ordinary Inverters as opposed to Grid-Tie ones.

Let me also mention here that we can take advantage of other alternatives aside using Solar Panels.
For example, you can tie your inverter to PHCN if your area gets around 4hrs of elelctricity in 24-36hrs.
All you need is a Digital Fast Charger and you are good to go.

Batteries are actually the most important part of such alternative energy solutions but there are batteries that you can buy in Nigeria that are as good as those you buy in Europe or US (My Batteries are made in Germany but l bought them in Nigeria. Served me for over 4yrs now and l am sure l will draw at least another 4yrs from them...the Guarrantee was for 10yrs)

The problem most people have with batteries (when they say it does not serve them long enough), is over-drawing the batteries.
You need to ensure that your setup has an inbuilt "warning system" that alerts you once you draw your battery to critical level and at that point, you must either recharge it or shutdown.

How long it lasts (duration of operation) depends on what you load (instant Consumption) on it and the combined size/capacity of the batteries you coupled together.

There is a very good book which anyone can buy, read and become a 'champion' on Solar energy and installations. It is so simple that you will wonder why you have not read it before:
Solar Elelctricity Handbook by Micheal Boxwell (cant remember how much l bught it on Amazon, back then).

Buy it, read it and come back here to give testimony


Cost will depend on a few factors like:
What is the Capacity of say, each A.C you want to use and how many will be on, simultaneously
What other equipments will be 'on' concurrently with those A.C?

Basically, you need to do an "intant energy consumption' calculation that would tell you the maximum power you can draw from the setup at any time.
This is what is now used to determine the capacity of the Inverter, the Capacity/number of Baterries required, Number/Capacity of Panels (if Solar), capacity of Charge Controller, e.t.c.
Finally, how long you want it to operate for, at any time, is determined by the installed battery (storage) capacity.

But not to worry, you can start "small", and increase the capacity in small bits, as the Lord provides.
Start with a PHCN-charging Inverter type.
If you outlay Batteries at say 600K, other materials at 400K, you can get a system that will carry all your household equipments, (AC for just a few hours, if you want it to last long) for about 2days non-stop, no-charging.

Add Solar Panels afterwards, when your pocket gets bigger. (Some people l know cant use Solar because they dont have their own building so for such people, the PHCN-Charging option is their only solution and they make it work well for them!)

If anyone is serious about their intention, l recommend they get the book and do a little research.
Everything in that book is for beginners like me and you, in simplified English with very easy diagrams and calculation.

NB: An inverter is just an equipment that converts D.C current, to A.C current (or vice versa) and it doesnot have to be an expensive Sunny Boy.
There are cheaper but less aesthetic alternatives

toksbisola:
@Op; what I'm going to say, might sound a bit harsh but bear with me; here we go. I really don’t know why you think that you can play with fire and not get burnt. You really think that this is a game right? The word NO has not been extinct from the dictionary. First things first; TRY AND SEVER THIS SUDDEN CLOSE BOND YOU HAVE DEVELOPED WITH THIS MARRIED WOMAN. You know why; SHE IS A MARRIED WOMAN AND HER CLOSENESS SHOULD BE WITH HER HUSBAND AND NOT YOU OR ANY OTHER MAN. SHE TOOK A MARITAL VOW; ALLOW HER TO KEEP HER MARITAL WOWS AS THEY WERE NOT TAKEN FOR THE FUN OF IT.

As it looks, it’s turning into something that you're now unable to handle effectively; hence your bringing it to NL. I don’t see anywhere in your post where you mentioned to her that when she’s coming to cook for you she should come with her husband. Nether did I see anywhere in your post where you said she should come with her husband when she is coming to jump on your bed. I can guarantee YOU that she would tell you no BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS NOT AWARE OF HER ANTICS.

Your actions knowingly or unknowingly may lead to a wrong cause as she is not taking NO for an answer as asserted in your comment(s). I can guarantee you that the day her husband will find out this close friendship you are developing with his wife; it wouldn’t be something very palatable to him. Depending on the type of person her husband is, you don’t want to get yourself into trouble asin he can man-handle you for keeping a close bond with his wife.

I am going to state 2 CLEAR scenarios and please think about them carefully;

First scenario
If this were your wife in question, and you find out that she is keeping a close friendship with another man and that man is not you, how would you feel? Would you like it?

Second scenario
If it were your wife and she finds out that you are keeping a close friendship with another woman and that woman is not her how would she feel? Would she like it?


A married person just don’t wake up one morning and commits adultery, it all starts from somewhere which can be the “Hi I will like to be close friends with you” and because a lot of people lack self-control, they engage in acts contrary to the marital vows they have taken. Don’t put this woman in a situation where her husband begins to DOUBT what she says; neither let him begin harboring TRUST ISSUES with her all because you couldn’t put an end to this rigmarole scenario you are getting yourself into (no offense; and hope none taken) centering on the seriousness of the relationship you are allowing to develop with this married woman.

It’s imperative for one to learn to stay away from things that don’t belong to you as this woman is married and she belongs to another man and that man is NOT YOU. Note that this married woman’s husband can throw her out if he finds out that she cheated on him with you (you might say it won’t get to that stage (easier said than done) but it’s glaring to see that it is heading towards that direction) and if that happens, I doubt if you would suddenly pick her up and make her your wife (I may be right as well as wrong).

Finally, DON’T BE THE ONE TO BREAK ANOTHER PERSONS’ MARITAL UNION UP BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T SAY NO TO THE TEMPTATION THAT WAS PLACED IN FRONT OF YOU. You can easily block her phone calls and reduce your contact with her as this scenario is becoming unhealthy; but it’s obvious from your replies that you are enjoying the flirtatious situation occurring. DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED.

I rest my case

FortifiedCity:
There is this very young and beautiful married woman. She told me she is 28 years. She's been pregnant once. I assisted her brother get a small job lately. Before then, anytime i see her on the road, we greet. If she wanted to buy something, I'll pay with a clean heart and walk away. Ever since then, she's shown me her appreciation in words. Somehow we started talking on whatsapp lately. She gave me her number.

But now, she's telling me that she prefers keeping guys as friends. In fact she has offered to come and cook for me today but I told her I am not around. I was very open to her that her being so close might tempt me to touch her that it's better she stays far from me or we talk whenever we see on the road. I told her this to scare her away from coming close but it's not working.

She says that me telling her that will not make her be free but she still insists that she'd come to my house. She said she'd like to be free with me, jumping on my bed and playing around but she just likes me as a friend.

Is it wrong to be a close friend with a married woman?
Please guys what do you think?

oyb:


You can start with jumia

your basic elements are solar panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter

a fully loaded system will be 600 to 700k

FastShipping:


The battery life is my concern. On average, you have to replace 8 batteries every three years. 8 batteries from the US is around $4000.

Daboomb:


This amount will build an Inverter System, with Solar Panels with enough capacity to power a Duplex with at least three AC's running continously, with other household appliances.

Why spend such money on a dangerous, noisy and unreliable alternative like Generator?,

Just sharing info.

I was at a park yesterday and I saw this gen in operation and it was super quiet. I was completely blown away with its quietness.

Not going to be cheap, not sure if they have it in Nigeria but man this thing is quiet. Noise is my number one beef with generators.

Some supporters of Hon. Tony Nwoye, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Anambra - were spotted chilling with beer bottles at a local joint in the state. The men wore campaign shirts of the APC flag-bearer as they relaxed at the beer joint in preparation for the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State.

Photos of the party supporters have been trending online with online users reacting "harshly"to them. See below;

Wonders shall never end. Imagine a teenager like this proposing to his girlfriend in school. Height of indiscipline. Two high school pupils’ excitement at a marriage proposal on the school grounds captured on video has been cut short.

Mduduzi Tlou, 18, proposed to his 16-year-old girlfriend (whose name is withheld because she is underage) at Tholulwazi Secondary School in Tsakane, Ekurhuleni, last week, with the video going viral on social media.

But a few hours after the two got “engaged” in front of cheering fellow pupils, the school confiscated a R2000 ring Tlou had bought for his girlfriend and suspended both pupils.

A desperate single mother of three from Kenya who probably got fed up of being disappointed by black men in her country decided to go in search of a white husband.

The 27-year-old lady identified as Cate Gachara, recently took to the busy city of Nairobi to announced she's looking for a white husband using a placard.

Standing by the roadside with the placard displaying her personal details, including phone number and photos of children she had in past relationships, the bold lady said she's ready to be a Godfearing wife to any potential husband who must be a white man.

Last month, another single mother of one caused an outrage online when she dressed in her wedding gown and took her daughter along to the street in search of a husband.

Do you know the Hausa turbans are different from Fulani ones. Hausa ones are generally bulb-shaped without the two tail-like pieces of cloth sticking out from the top. The Fulani ones, apart from the tail-like elements, are also more closely similar to the Touareag ones in structure and design.

Though these days they are both worn interchangeably.

I forsee Ambode doing this one day.

It's funny that you listed the ost of trucks. What about the economic loss of life and the loss of life to the family? How much is that?

EgunMogaji:


They are. Whenever I See them onthe road, ithe rdriving or on foot I always make sure to give them a wide berth.

But, the students blocking the road and interfering the other road users is not the right thing to do.

They can take the protect to Dangote headquarters.

They need to setup a specific truck inspection police team.

Thanks all for the engagement at least this conversation has given us the avenue to explain the way the materials is been installed which is very important.
I will try to also post some pictures doing installation to explain better.
God Bless you guys for the contribution.

A huge python that swallowed an antelope in Ile-Oluji area of Ondo state was captured, killed and butchered by residents for food recently.

PoliticsNGR learned that the python had freshly swallowed the antelope and couldn't move as digestion for snakes is usually slow and Energy draining, so some residents took advantage of the situation to kill the huge reptile.

The antelope was pulled out of the snake's stomach and also butchered for consumption. See Photos and video below;

Bros,Please read my first post after I was mentioned here..I said I am not here to hinder anybody's hustle never abused anyone just made my own opinion from my own point of view..

All the same,Thank you for your Prayers..I appreciate

happney65:


Thank you for the submission bros..However I am not in anyway discrediting he's product..However I am just laying out the fact..

Note..I am not a house builder nor contractor..I am currently building my own house so I am speaking from experience..When I wanted to do the paraphet I was advised to go for situ..Situ is built,not moulded like the other one and fixed..

The services of welders,carpenter and the bricklayer where employed..I spent roughly less than 700K even though I had some other materials on ground which made it cheaper..

You can read reviews online and you will know better between the two..I am saying with all sense of truthfulness that situ is better..Long lasting,safer,durable..The other one is just cheaper than situ but not better..

Doing parapet is already for people who wants their building to look better and can stand the test of time against rains and storms..

There is this saying that it's the rich that do paraphet..lol..Maybe it is,cos the money i used to do the paraphet is more than the money for the roofing..I mean the woodwork..Word work is about 550K. inclusive of the woods,nails carpentry charge as I was charged 110 by the carpenter...so if you want to do paraphet kuku do the one that might be a little bit expensive but it's more better..If you don't want to do it,Don't do it and proceed to roofing than doing something which to me won't stand the test of time..

I would attach pictures of mine later in the day..

My little submission
