Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Glocal1: 8:42am On Jun 07
jFrankNorfleet:
House I need your help with information needed so I do not make mistakes a novice, that I am, would make. I want to install a solar electrical system for my game shop and I would like to hear what you'd recommend for this setup

Here are the contents of the shop. Note that the wattages I put there are all gotten from looking at the back stickers of each TV

Lg LCD 32 inches TV 140w *2
Samsung 32 inches led 56 watts *2
Samsung 32 inches lcd TV 110 watts *2
Samsung 15 inches lcd TV 40 Watts *4
PS2 fat 3pcs
PS3 super slim
PS3 slim 4 pcs
PS4 slim 2 pcs
Ps5 1 pc

There is an ox industrial 26 inches that I use right now and a plastic fan of 60w. I plan to get rid of both fans and get both DC ceiling fans and DC standing/wall fan so recommendations are welcome pls

All games do not operate at the same time, out of a total of 6 PS3, 2 PS4 and 1 ps5 only 6 can be operational simultaneously, although I plan to add one more 32 inches tV as time goes on which would eventually make the operational games seven in number

The gamehouse typically operates from 9am till around 11pm.


I called an installer to tell me what I'd need to do the installation for the shop and here's what he recommended I do for the setup



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Growatts 6kva solar inverter

Growatts battery (5.5 kW/h x2)

Jinko solar photovoltaic panels(615 watts)

ACCESSORIES AND OTHERS
1 DC SURGE (500)
1 DC BREAKER (32amps)
1 AC SURGE (500)
2 AC BREAKER (63amps)x2
1 DC BREAKER (63amps)
OTHERS:
18 way breaker box
4 way breaker box
Knife switch change over
Trunking pipe(50x50)x3
Photovoltaic panels rails(x3)
Photovoltaic panels bot 'n' screws(14)
Solar connector /MC 4 plug(2)
CABLES:
photovoltaic panels DC cable (17 meter)
AC CABLE (input) (16 meter)
AC CABLE (output) (16 meter)


Would this, assuming the items are all good quality, be ideal enough for the gamehouse?
What is the total cost of this setup?
It suits my home plan.

TravelRe: Pictures Of Nigerians Arrested By ICE In USA by Glocal1: 6:35pm On Feb 24
SmartPolician:
The US criminal justice system is in tact. ICE works for the Executive - it has nothing to do with the judiciary.

Nobody gave ICE the statutory power to convict people, meaning that a court has convicted those folks and ICE will now send them back to their home country.

I've seen what people achieved in America in 3 years through legit hustle. It's a shame that someone will live in the US and even think of committing crimes.
Some of them might have been involved in the cyber crime from Nigeria and continued in the USA. Some yahoo boys and girls that have money to migrate will not likely desist from it, despite migration to a better country.

TravelRe: Kuwait Visa Company Any Nigeria Must Avoid by Glocal1: 3:48pm On Nov 20, 2025
ecoz:
My name is Henry. I applied for a Kuwait visa through Login International via one of their agents based in Delta State.

On March 4, 2025, their office in Kuwait contacted me using this number: +965 554 XXXXX for a video interview, which successfully took place.

Two weeks later, they sent a job offer through the same agent. However, from March until October 2025, I have not received any visa — despite paying ₦1 million.

A few days ago, I contacted the Login Int’l office in Kuwait, and the customer service representative insulted me (screenshot of the conversation coming shortly). Later, their boss, Samuel from Kenya, called me and claimed he would refund the money, but he failed to keep that promise.

I am advising all Nigerians to stay away from Login International agents. I will soon upload the phone numbers, names, locations of their agents, and all the chat screenshots I have had with this so-called Login International.
Try to report the case at the nearest EFCC office.

TravelRe: Massive Gridlock Cripples Lagos-ibadan Expressway, Commuters Stranded For Hours by Glocal1: 7:54am On Nov 13, 2025
Nairasports01:
A severe traffic jam has paralysed movement on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, particularly around the Sagamu Interchange, leaving thousands of commuters and motorists stranded for several hours on Tuesday.

The gridlock, which reportedly extended to the Abeokuta–Kobape–Siun–Sagamu Expressway, caused widespread frustration among road users.

Observers at the scene described a chaotic situation, as some drivers attempted dangerous U-turns while others abandoned their vehicles altogether.

TadeDetule:
Well in certain cases it is possible. It all depends on the switch you are considering. What you need to do is check the course or field you are considering and reach out to the department of choice. Check for the coordinator and secretary's email. Send a cold email stating who you are and the course of study you graduated from and then go ahead to ask them if you could be considered for so so course. It has worked. Try it too.
Thanks so much for this.

I am also thinking of moving to Ilesha from Lagos. I got a job offer at the uni in Ilesha.. I don't know a person neither do I have family there.. please is it a good offer I shouldn't loose? How do I do the accommodation and how's the lifestyle for a beginner... If anyone has an idea about the job and accommodation very close to work and not costly also but convenient for a lady who stays in a 3 bedroom flat with a sister and brother in Lagos.
Ilesa is a calm town with normal lifestyle. I don't know if the school now has hostel accommodation but I know you can never be stranded since it's a student community. There are private hostels around the school.

The school is state-owned and your job offer should state the terms and conditions for you to decide whether to accept it or not.

You are welcome to Ilesa, the town of the entrepreneurial ones.
Car TalkRe: What Will You Do If You Were In My Position? by Glocal1: 2:39am On May 14, 2025
HelenaWills:
While it was being driven to my place.
Overheating happened and it damaged the four coils.
There right there, I spent above 250k fixing radiator, automated dashboard, four coils, plugs, oil gauge stick, mobil oil, gasket and some stupid things.

They fixed it, and it worked for a few minutes till it broke down again and I had to change filter and fuel pump with some minor things because car won't move. After a while... it moved again then stopped. This time it was the kick but before they figured it out.
I learnt the roadside Kazeem had almost pieced the car in search of a fault that wasn't there.

While we were on this, I decided to replace the steering pump and rack because the steering had become stiff and so difficult to turn. This cost some fortunes.

Mind you, like play like play, this car had spent about 3 months at different locations. I got tired at this point and decided to leave it under bridge in Ojuelegba where I was asked to pay #400 per day but begged for #200. It was there from December till last month.

I was told it overheated again while moving from God knows where to Ojuelegba and I needed to replace the coils all again.
Let's no forget there were different electrical issues that I can't even list out because I don't even know what to call them.
But now, the gear is making one annoying and disturbing sound and they are asking for an arm and heart to fix it. It will be one year by next month and car hasn't made it to my house.
It can't even go beyond 25Km/h nor can it climb hills.
Very frustrating.
Didn't you test-drive the car during inspection before payment?
Your mechanic is the culprit here.
He must have connived with the seller to rip you off.
Stop spending on the car and sell it as scrap or let the professionals in auto section of nairaland help you fix it.
PoliticsRe: EFCC Arrests Fred Ajudua In Abuja by Glocal1: 2:20am On May 14, 2025
Dogalmighty17:
Gen Z in the house, gather around the table let me regale you with tales of the most prolific Nigerian fraudster, Fred Ajudua.

See kids, before yahoo, there was yahoo. Fred was and still remains a legend in this regard. The kind of heist he and his men pulled is so phenomenal. Fred put the ya in yahoo. Imagine that they locked him up in prison and right there in prison, he scammed one of the most brutal army generals Nigeria has ever had. General Bamaiyi. A prisoner scamming another prisoner. Fred scammed Bamaiyi of 8.4 million dollars right there in prison!

Fred is extremely smart and suave. He has the gift of garb. That's why Emmanuel Nwude, another big time fraudster and a former executive director of Union Bank, sought his services. Together, the sold a non existent airport to a Brazilian bank for 242 million dollars over 22 years ago. This was done using just a fax machine. No internet, no mobile phones outside thuraya satellite phone, were in existence then.

Oh! A movie has to be made of this. Fred and Nwude were very elaborate. They invited the Brazilians to London, lodged them in the best hotels, hired limousines to chauffeur them around town, took them to the best clubs and spent money like nothing. That wasn't all.

They invited the Brazilians to Nigeria. Right from the Lagos airport, Fred and Nwude paid just about every person that the Brazilians would come in contact with at the airport. They even hired people to be around the airport to greet Fred and Nwude as extremely wealthy guys. It didn't end there.

NNPC headquarters in Lagos then, was another staging area they used. Nwude, had the Brazilians follow him to the very top floor of the building. He took them to the NNPC boardroom. Paid NNPC staff and hired actors all around the building were greeting Nwude like a boss. The air of confidence Nwude walked into the towers with and the way the paid staff and hired actors showed respect to Nwude, further lulled the Brazilians.

It was right in that NNPC that the Brazilians, thinking they were signing a deal of a lifetime, agreed to transfer 242 million dollars to an escrow account Nwude provided.

Mind you as at then, no Nigerian bank had a capitalisation of 100 million dollars. So that was enough money to bounce the bank.

The Brazilians, excited, went back to their country. When the call to inspect the non existent airport they bought was not forthcoming, that's when they got apprehensive and got the authorities involved.

This singular scam that Fred and Nwude pulled, is the reason why we have EFCC today. Even Obasanjo as president then, could not comprehend this kind of criminality.

Fred never stopped scamming. He enjoys it and does so for fun. He later went on to become a member of the house of reps before his criminal nature caught up with him and he got sent to prison in Nigeria. His son, used to be Davido's lawyer until Davido dropped him.

What about the Brazilian bank he scammed? Well, the bank collapsed and some of its executives commited suicide. Not a kobo of that money was recovered.
When found guilty, he should have been compelled to return the money to the victims and then thrown into jail forever.
Capital punishment should be established against yahoo crimes, to stem it's tide in Nigeria.
