My point was, is and would keep being;
Nigeria can sell to local refineries at lower than international crude price.


Realtruth2023:


Dude even at $20 per barrel as cost it is stillnexpensive co.pared to Arabian crude which is at $10 threshold.

How is 1 million naira 10% of 120 million naira (even 100 million naira)?
Politics / Re: Seven Major Marketers Get Approval To Sell Dangote Fuel by gadgetplanetng: 12:15pm On Jan 15
Is it possible to sell far less than $74 locally?

That's my point.

Remember also devaluation of a local currency makes exports cheaper so there's that too.

NUPRC was also working to cut the cost of oil production to about $20 a barrel, down from between $25 and $40, by providing incentives to oil producers.

How much is a barrel internationally?
We sell as between 2x and 3x production cost.
I don't post carelessly.

Realtruth2023:


No Nigerian crude ain't cheap to produce compared to Arabian crude Nigeria's crude is expensive oooo


COMPAQ:


Who told you Nigerian crude is cheap to produce? Its actually quite expensive. Let me tell you 3 things (amongst many that make our oil expensive to produce)

1. NDDC levvy - 3% of oil companies annual budget
2. Host community development Levy - 3% of preceeding year operating expenditure.
3. Insecurity - oil companies pay huge amounts per year to secure producing assets and staff who move in the Niger Delta region.

If you want income of 1million a month whenever you retire,

N120,000,000 in FGN savings bonds (at 10%) per annum would pay that to you without you ever touching your capital.

Depending on where you live, average returns might be less (maybe 5%? meaning you need double that)

In your maybe 35 active years at work, keep this calculation in mind, if you start early and don't touch your interest till you retire, you won't actually have to save the entire amount.

Don't waste windfalls and surprise money on clubbing, wigs, unnecessary cars, women/men and the like.

You can build your own pension yourself, google it.

If they sell the crude oil to the refinery at a cost plus basis, we would have affordable fuel.

International prices do not take costs into consideration which is why some oil producers, especially the shale and co stop producing below a certain level.

Nigerian crude is cheap to produce.

Edit:
Maximum production cost from this is $40 a barrel.
NUPRC was also working to cut the cost of oil production to about $20 a barrel, down from between $25 and $40, by providing incentives to oil producers.

Family / Re: My Mom Has Made Me Miserable! She Denied Me Happiness by gadgetplanetng: 6:42pm On Dec 30, 2023
You're not a man till you accept responsibility for everything that happens to you.
Your mum is manipulative, if you had let her know long ago you'd do what's best for you not what she manipulates you to this won't have happened.
It's clear you're indecisive.
Your mum did not deny you happiness, change the title to
"I have made myself miserable and denied myself of happiness "

When you can fully make peace with that statement you'd know what to do without seeking the input of strangers

ojesymsym:
It could be that because the sachet inverter has a lower battery cut off point which seems to give the semblance of a longer lasting battery whereas the battery is been drained low in the process

Actually no.
I tell them to switch it off once it goes to 25.5v running.

Also the the freezer turning on with the older inverter would usually draw the older battery to as low as 21v, it's never happened with this one.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 4:25pm On Dec 27, 2023
Get a good sachet inverter
I replaced a 1.5kv Schneider Homaya (that has been with Schneider since July) with one and the difference is clear.
Battery lasts longer, less wahala.

bbeckky:
Good morning fam.
Pls I need help from the experts in the house. Few months ago, my inverter (1.2kva) got damaged by thunder. We called the installer and he said the company doesn't have the board available as at then that we should buy sachet inverter pending when they'll have it. But we decided rather than buying a sachet inverter that we shud fix it elsewhere. But ever since we got this new board it has never worked well, if we put on the TV, it'll say overload, we can't do fan and TV concurrently, it'll be screaming overload. We have returned this inverter more than 3times for the guy to fix the issue yet nothing. This last time is even worst, we can't put on ordinary light, it's not powering anything at all. And now Alaba has closed till next year. Pls any idea what we can do because it's really frustrating me

For almost a year I had an installation with:
200 and 250w Alaba panels together
2 old batteries
old 1.5kv exulted inverter
powmr 60A cc

Powering a 200l Tamashi freezer I bought in 2012 for my parents from 10am to 3/4pm everyday.

I only upgraded the panels, battery and inverter this year.

The charging current on the BMS was set at 40A or so, well above what my solar array can deliver. I replaced the Powmr with Fangpusun and never saw 30V again.

To my professional in the house, I want to install the below akt solar power floodlight at the 4 corner of my house, to illuminate the compound and surrounding, but am concerned if this is water proof and can withstand sunlight at the long run?

I'd usually use silicone sealant on all edges before mounting these.

if a roof was damaged, why didn't you ensure that was taken care of before the installer left ?

and if you choose to overlook it then, no need asking for damages thereafter

The way most people find out roof got damaged is when rain falls
