This is why it is now more important than ever to push the National Broadband penetration plan. Though this situation might be due to a myriad of issues, I think pushing this plan will have a ripple effect on the overall IT industry in Nigeria.

Like they always say in webinars now "the new normal" in these COVID-19 times is a far cry from what we have had all our lives.

The Presidency should push this now!!

I don't think agriculture is the Eldorado of Nigeria. Check out the majority of the developing countries (eg Thailand, Vietnam, etc) and you will see that they have invested heavily in their human capital that has birthed industries. You will see that they are also heavily agrarian societies too. However. agriculture is commodities and no nation is rich with commodities only.

Sunshineg5:
Government needs to invest heavily in Agriculture to reduce the rate of poverty in Nigeria.

It seems simple enough

>Northern Nigeria are known to be very good farmers

>There seems to be a high rate of poverty in the northern Nigeria according to most research results of organizations around the world

> Nigeria spends billions of dollars importing food like rice and co which Northerners can provide.

> Serious investment in Agriculture not just lips service like our government often do would lift millions out of poverty and help strengthen the nation.

I am talking about massive irrigation systems, Storage facilities, training for farmers on new techniques in Farming and introduction of high yield seeds. etc.

It's a new installation. It beats me too because it sometimes goes into float at that voltage. But I have read that it's a problem with the victron algorithm. There are plenty of stories like that in the victron forums. It calculates the absorption time based on the voltage it senses in the batteries. If it senses that the batteries are not deeply discharged, the absorption time is a fraction of the set absorption time period. The default I think is 6hrs. Also if the clouds are over cast or there is any form of shading, the CC sees it as another day has started and it restarts based on the voltage it senses. If that voltage is high but not up to the absorption voltage, it will cut the absorption time and subsequently go into float mode. I think this in a nutshell is what I have been able to gather about the issue.

Was wondering if one can get a workaround to this.

Dkev:
I am confused. If it only gets to 53.7v, that's less than your absorb or float values. Could it be the weather? Was it charging properly in the dry season? Does it ever go into float? How does it go into float at less than the float voltage? Please explain

You can as well take your multimeter to the shop to try and measure the voltage/current from the panels.

But since for example, 250w panels are an average of 29-40k, I will advise you to go for the new ones since these used ones are always like a 5-8k difference.

generationz:
His can one know the history of a panel? I intend to buy from any random shop that sells.

Gurus, I have a Fangpusun 150/70 with a 48v 200ah Ritar AGM battery bank (8 batteries), 9 250w solar panels in 3s3p configuration and I am experiencing it going into float prematurely - hence it does not fully charge the batteries. If I am lucky it charges it up to 53.7v I have read online that this is a problem with the algorithm as it senses the voltage at sun up and uses it to calculate how long absorption time will be.
Absorption voltage currently set to 56v and float is 55.4v.

Is there a workaround that one can adopt? I see they have resolved this in the Victron v1.42 firmware but as we are stuck with the v1.16 what can one do?

If they were well used and you know their history, they are good. I have 3 used panels in my solar array and those guys are producing as much as the new ones that I got.

generationz:
Hey guys,

What do you think about fairly used solar panels?


Can a good 150watts solar panel go for 20k?

thanks,... safely delivered

If you can answer this question correctly, then you will agree with me that many churches are leading their members to hell.

if you can afford, buy the mppt charge controllers that have been given decent enough reviews on this thread - Fangpusun, Epever etc comes to mind

Deluxe8000:
thanks for the reply. What can i do? i am gradually loosing hope in solar system after inviting 2 engr. from nairaland. The last engr. promised me that it won't happen again after the installation of 580w solar panels(280 poly+300 mono) before i bought two batteries at the same time. The one i connected to the solar system is dead within 3months while the other one that i use with on-grid to charge is still very much ok.

Thanks, I actually did and ordered myself a fangpusun 150/70 cc plus the display for a very ridiculous price.

I saved 20k+ on FLEXMAX 80 & 24V battery balancer, even with express shipping, compared to prices listed here.

cheers

I cant thank you enough. You just saved me literally thousands of naira on solar items peddled on this thread. Thanks!!

Trippledots:
Better... Pm me.

yes but from the US

Trippledots:
Have you imported before?...

abeg show us the fangpusun way o.. abeg

Trippledots:
People are getting smarter. If u put in a little more informed effort you can actually land some equipment at manufacturer prices...waaaay less than advertised here. I have 4 fangpusun products en-route straight from manufacturer..all costing about half or a third the cumulative advertised prices of some sellers here.

Please big sellers should pls be more humane in their price listings, because once one can smell that buyers are being exploited on a certain product they lose faith in other items advertised.

DIY is fun.

Copy that

Thanks!! Appreciate the swift response. Are there precautions to take when installing on an old asbestos roof? Any particular accessories that can be used in mounting these panels to asbestos roofs as against the metal roofing sheets?

SolnergyPower:
3S3P. That is,

a. Connect three in series, thereby making three sets of panels connected in series.
b. Then, parallel the sets of series.

See the image below.

Gurus in the house, thinking of upgrading to a 48v battery system (with 8 batteries) and with 9 250W solar panels. I read @DMerciful comment some pages ago https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/358#65328776 saying PV voltage of times 2 battery voltage is best for some brands of CC. I intend using a fangpusun 150/60 bluesolar clone. Barring any system bottlenecks, can you recommend the best PV array connection for the 9 panels I intend to use to harvest the maximum energy? Thanks.

Been following this thread keenly for sometime. Does anyone know how to get data out of a Fangpusun solarblue clone150/60 CC for analysis on maybe Grafana on a raspberry pi? Would appreciate if you could point me in the the right direction. Thanks

I don't think there is actually anywhere in the Bible that forbids cousins marrying. However, different cultures either encourages, condones or forbids it.

Science encourages you to marry someone outside your family to widen the gene pool to prevent genetically transmitted diseases.

The Jews (in present day Israel) actually still actively practice this. However, they have one of the highest prevailances of genetically transmitted diseases because of the narrowed gene pool - aka inbreeding.

Overall, I will not encourage it because of the probability of diseases showing up in your offspring that might have been a recessive gene in your family line ie it had not showed up in a few generations. Pls just save yourself the heartaches further down the line of your marriage. Just like they advice 2 pple with AS genotype not to marry, pls dont marry ur cousin - you will be playing a game of Russian Roulette (Google this)...

Shedrack777:
Hi everyone! To the subject above, I know some traditions forbids marriage between cousins. But does the Bible forbids it? If yes, back up your claim with scriptural references from the Bible. Thanks for your contribution

Allegations have not been struck out by the courts..The prosecution just closed their case against him and the defense entered a no-case submission. The judge is yet to rule on the case. Please be guided.....

I refer to the link above and other verifiable news source.

Lawyers in the house, I would like to know the fate of Onoghen since the allegations made against him have be struck out .

Will Onoghen be returned to the sit of the CJN and Justice Ibrahim Mohammed will be demoted ?
Or will Onoghen be automatically retired by the FG?

If he would be returned as a CJN, will he have to be sworn in by President Buhari again?

Got a mail from StanbicIBTC that they have started accepting online payments on their MasterCard - POS and Web transactions is $3,000 cumulative. Do we have an idea how much they charge per $?

You need to be more specific about the specs to get traction on sales. Please put out all the specs here so that all can see. We didnt know it did not have an HDD if i didn't ask.

I will appreciate if you can add pictures of the internals (ie picture of the computer opened)

The more info you put here the better so that I can make up my mind to buy. Thanks

Oga can u be more specific with the full specifications of the system?

What specific type of processor, size of ram and hard disk etc.. pls be more specific!

I have used the LG G2, G4 and G5 and I have not regretted it. Infact sending this message with the G5 and it's been beautiful..no issues.

The main attraction to me is the cheap fixes..Wanted to change the screen of a Samsung last yr and found out that the price is almost as much as the new phone. Meanwhile for the LG it's like a quarter of the price of the phone if not less.

LG phones are good phones all round...

A trial will convince you..

Actually what these guys are doing is kind of illegal in some countries. What they do is they use VoIP (voice over IP) to terminate the international calls on local numbers instead of going through the legal international gateways i.e MTN, glo, 9mobile and Airtel. The international call will now seem like a local call.

What this simply means is that they carry those voice calls over the internet, which makes it extremely cheaper for them. That is why those in the diaspora can make those extremely cheap calls.

This twitter user says the number mix up is an FG policy for cheaper calls!

I just finished watching a video where Nnamdi Kanu, the symbol of the 'struggle' expressly called for war with the 'Nigerian Zoo'.

Let me quote him "The mission of radio Biafra is a simple one - to get Biafra by every means possible necessary and possible, by every means including WAR including VIOLENCE. Dear Lord in Heaven, bring violence that no one has ever seen before. We said we will burn the zoo down and we will do it.
Nigeria will be burnt to the ground - completely burnt to the ground. We are prepared for them in every way possible, in every way possible.
We are not here to beg anybody to support us. If you like you support us, if you like you don't. It doesn't matter anyway because we are marching forward. Nobody can stop us".

According to Kanu THE DIRECTOR, he called for the actualisation of Biafra with every means possible including war. That is why people can safely equate this agitation with a call for war. He made very damaging and self incriminating comments in the video and i am sure that is one of the reasons the government is prosecuting him for treason. No right thinking govt will sit down and watch citizens incite war and secession....

KemjikaEme:
It's only in West Africa that an agitation becomes synonymous with war.
A simple referendum will give people the right to define their existence in this union.
Only an idiiot will associate a freedom struggle with war in this 21st century.

I understand your point. And i totally agree with you.

However, i am 100% sure 100% of the people agitating for Biafra were born 1970 and downwards (ie after the war) so they don't have a 1st hand experience of what the war was. Also unfortunate that these things have been expunged from our history books, so they don't even have a clue as to what happened (and they don't care to find out).

Like you said tribalism and clannish tendencies are rife in Nigeria. Even within major tribes, there is a lot of discrimination going on and we all know it is true. Within the Yorubas, some people will never touch the Ijebus with the proverbial long pole because of some perceived stereotypes. While within the Igbos, an some Anambra men will not dare marry an Imo woman and vice versa - again because of the stereotypes. Also within the Igbos, there are the so called Osus - that is a story for another day.

In the Niger Delta, we all saw what happened in the last administration. Some set of Niger Deltans fed fat all in the name of activism. Where is Asari Dokubo now? What of Tom Polo? Ankio Briggs? Clark? Where are they? They no longer have access to the vaults so of course they will be quiet. They were all SCAM ACTIVIST!!!

What if we get BIAFRA or THE REPUBLIC OF THE NIGER DELTA today? They will implode because the same people shouting Nnamdi Kanu today of Tom Polo will be the ones shouting marginalization and "Kill Him" tomorrow.

Let us cure the cancer called tribalism and nepotism within our mist before talking about Biafra, Niger Delta or whatever self determination we are fighting for.

Princedapace:
Guy u dont get it.. let me give u a simple scenario..

Humans are naturally selfish and protective.... there is nothing we can do about that ...until word comes to an end!


If u are yoruba and u catch a yoruba thief and an hausa thief and u are asked to kill just one...u will simply kill the hausa thief!

Nigeria is too ethnic divided to work bro... the youths are weak today becus there is no hope fighting.. it seems u dont understand how deep this ethnic intolerance is here.. my brother open ur eyes and see how much we hate our selves..

There is no unity of purpose in Nigeria because of ethnic bigotry..it cant be stopped .. and since there is no unity of purpose, we cant make progress. Can we just forget about this political unity by fire by force? We can still be united in sport, entertainment, etc..

Biafrans cant forget biafra since the country is wack.. if we continue like this...50 years from now, the country will get worst. To escape this, we need each states to control their resources fully. Until we give Biafrans reasons to forget Biafra , they cant.

Actually did with him in April for May and June subscription. So this is a belated shout-out. Straight forward. Subscribed even before I paid him. Thanks!!

But there were references to war in ur initial statement I quoted. Nobody wants war. You and I know that no government will not give up it's territory without a fight... especially if that territory is the cash cow...and Nnamdi Kanu, ur director has been beating the drums of war since day one. There are videos and statements credited to him all over the internet to prove that.

Lightening:
Oga don't get it twisted. No one is asking for any war. All we are asking for is Biafra. There is no relationship between the two. This is a non violent agitation. A fool proof strategy towards emancipation. Ask SA
