Do they want to use solar panels in winter? grin They will be highly disappointed.

you are making noise as Usual. Who will spend 15k just to heat their homes for the winter? How much are their yearly earnings? Factor in house rent and other bills. and which landlord will then allow them to install solar on their roof?

I think a 400-watt cell can go for 250 to 300 pounds and the battery and inverter are not that expensive. depending on the setup and the energy storage capacity. you can scale as much as you want but for people who want to eat their homes, they don't need anywhere near 15k lol

Winter is coming and for ones people are looking for wood to stay warm. SMH
This is not Nigeria where you get Audu to climb your roof. There is significant cost in the labour for installation.

Last time I enquired about solar panelling my whole roof with installation I was quoted £15k.

You think these people are planning for just this winter? I told you Europeans are planners and there are enough people.with sense of civic duty to take load off the grid with alternative methods. You can see people there buying insulation for their walls, others buying electric heaters (which will feed from coal and nuclear etc) to take pressure off gas. These are all long term investments - rich people covering eventualities and doing their civic duty to boot.

Europeans burning peat, coal and firewood is not new, anyone over 35 grew up with that as standard. This is only really a German problem as almost all other countries have LNG inlets. Putin saw that Europeans had filled their gas storages up to 80%, e shock am, so he is trying to stop flows now knowing that is enough for 3 months supply, hoping they drain it up by January. But e go shock am.

People are spending £15k rushing to buy solar panels in your video and you are presenting it as evidence of suffering. grin grin

Learn that Europeans are planners, they are protecting all eventualities, so don't cry more than the bereaved. If installing solar panel at a cost that can pay a Russian on minimum wage for 5 years is suffering, I want to be among those suffering. Some of these are people with sense of civic duty who will do their bit to reduce demand by using alternative sources.

Help me with wood for my fire pit abeg, the suffering is becoming too much

I don't know of anyone worried about freezing this winter in Europe. It's only on Nairaland I read up such.

Talking about taking care of the poorest in the society. They said Europeans will suffer, but the same Europe is sending 5 billion euro or thereabout to Ukraine to help them with heating for winter and other economic stuffs.
Leave the Nairaland Putinbots who know more than the people paying the bills abeg.

The gas he was referring to is likely natural gas. Not petrol.
Leave that mumu. My gas bill was £71, my electric bill was £82. The company is owing me credit. Putin will soon kill me oh.

Like I said, Europe is a society oriented around headlines to protect the poorest in society. That's the beauty of democracy. Pesin wey NEPA never let am see light for one week will be crying more than the Europeans because of headlines.

IMF trims Russian 2022 GDP growth forecast, slightly raises 2023 prediction
- Reuters

when you are so closed-minded, all rational thoughts disappear.
IMF did not predict any GDP recovery. They predicted 6% fall in 2022 and 3.5% in 2023. Is that not about 9.5% while they are predicting 3 and 2% growth for the rest of the world. So the rest of the world is predicted to be growing 5% in total over the 2 years while Russia is backsliding 10%, is that sanctions not working in your eye?

When you have already fallen, you are on a lower height and they still expect you to fall again rather than rebound which is what most countries do, you say they are predicted to recover. If you fall 5% every year, after just 10 years, you will have lost half of everything you had.

there is more crying in the EU than in Russia at the moment. Winter is coming and you will see the Fuckup the EU caused for themselves by Relying on the Devil
There is no crying in the EU than in Russia. All you are seeing is a free media that cares about the living standards of the 10% poorest in society. Russians have been living in squalor for years and nobody cares, just like Umudike where poverty is grinding and don't make noise like the Europeans. If Europeans suffer just 2% drop, it will be all over your front page news, to the point you that is struggling to soak garri twice a day will think they are struggling more than you. That is democracy, and that is freedom.

Mumu, the point is they have had more - 12% they recently experienced without a war coupled with sanctions.... they are expected to even recover in 2023 2nd half.
They are not expected anything unless sanctions are lifted. 12% they experienced in 2020 is in keeping with a one off lifetime event of Covid. USA GDP.fell 30% in one quarter in 2020 but recovered by the end of the year. For context, the great depression lasted 10 years and only wiped 30% off GDP in 10 years. That's ten years of the biggest financial catastrophe in US history causing 30% decline, exactly the same as Covid did in one quarter. Keep thinking 4% is nothing, something USA has not seen over a full year since 1946. Your problem is you don't know anything about economics and expect Russia to collapse in few months like say na Abacha. Even Venezuela took 10 years and the Soviet Union took 40 years. Stick to what you know.

4% decline is nothing oga: since biden came Russia has been laughing all the way to the bank
Russia economic growth for[b] 2021 was $1,775.80B, a 19.32% increase[/b] from 2020.
Russia economic growth for 2020 was $1,488.32B, a 12.1% decline from 2019.
Russia economic growth for 2019 was $1,693.11B, a 2.16% increase from 2018.
Russia economic growth for 2018 was $1,657.33B, a 5.28% increase from 2017. .
Like I said, you are very foolish, quoting figures you have no grasp of.

2020 decline on 2019 is Covid pandemic
2021 increase on 2020 is recovery from Covid pandemic.

4% is a big deal in any developed economy. No be 1.6% make you dey shout Armageddon on USA last quarter?

All your talk of no fly zone is unrealistic.

Sanctions are having their effect steadily. They are just starting and Russia is getting desperate playing their last gambit to break the Wests resolve. You just dey para because anything that Biden does must be wrong in your world view.

I know they will never vote for that Indian guy as the PM.

It was always going to be the white Lady. Despite her gaafs here and there she knows she was the one beforehand
You know or you assume?

Seen a lot of commentary leaning on the usual fall back arguments

The fact is that Rishi Sunak will easily win a general election against Liz Truss but he cannot win an election of Conservative party members against Liz Truss of which only 200k members vote.

Reasons are simple - he threw Boris under the bus while Liz Truss is a Boris ally and Conservative party members love Boris.

Another 2 blots on his name among Conservative party members is he was holding an American green card till last year and his wife is registered as a non domiciliary and pays no tax in UK. How can you be trusted as a leader, when your wife pays tax to another Govt and you hold green card while serving in Govt (which is against the law)?

Rishi is far more popular than Liz Truss and will whitewash her in a general election (Indian or not), but he cannot win among the 200,000 Conservative voters who will never forgive him for double dealing on Boris. Boris annointed his successor, while Rishi is his opp, simple.

Russia fighting a WAR with the whole of Europe, Economic war and Physical war with Ukraine only see a fall of 4%

The Russian puppet was asking them to stop buying Energy from the Enemy and look for other means so the Enemy does not drag them by the balls.

there is nothing good you support. It is like you fools are setting up the EU and Nato to fail.

Umudike is fine... this is the forum for me to discuss other stuff... don't tell me what i should worry about. if things like make e double 6 folds here.... I stand weller.

Puttin up stupid sanctions then still buy Russian oil which you sanctioned at a Higher price is stupid. The alternative are glaring. Dump wokeness and embrace truth, the truth they rejected when trump was speaking.
Will you shut your stinking mouth.

I asked you what are the alternatives at the time the war started. What do you Benalvino recommend they do? You seem to be suggesting they lie flat and let Russia do whatever they want. Nobody asked you about the mistakes Merkel made in the past, but what do you suggest they do going forward.

The sanctions are working, 4% is a big deal to a developed country. You may be used to grinding poverty and Umudike crawling backward at a rate of knots, but 4% is a big disaster to any developed county. And it's just getting started because those sanctions affect everything about how Russia produce goods down to whether their companies can even use Microsoft Office to run operations. For context, USA has not seen 4% YoY GDP decline since the 2nd world war, you open your stinking uneducated mouth to say 4% is nothing. Do you think this is Umudike where economic growth year to year is anything goes? A developed country lost 4% in just a quarter, something that is just revving up, and you opened your dirty mouth to say just 4%.

Keep chewing your Russian propaganda and showing your lack of education. For your info, I used £71 in gas last month and the gas company is owing me over £200 cos I pay a fixed amount a month and whatever is left is put toward my balance. Worry about how you will afford akara next month, not whether my bill is £70 or £140. Putin is really biting me over here, I wonder if I should burn these notes to stay warm. This is 2 years salary in Russia which I just brought out to pay two builders here for one weeks labour. Putin is really winning. Efulefu

Russia is fighting a war so its inflation at 15% against all the stupid pointless sanctions did nothing. The UK is at 10% and they are not in war. go figure. they are not dealing with all the sanction Russia is facing but you guys in the EU cry more about what Russia is doing to you.
You are a foolish man. What nothing did the sanctions do? Just touting nonsense from your far-right sources.

Russian GDP fell 4% last quarter and is set to tumble deeper and their inflation is at 15%. That is because of the sanctions. They are playing their last gambit now before their matter really cast.

Just open your mouth anti-sanctions cho cho cho, what is your alternative? What is even your point?

Worry about Umudike where prices are doubling every few months and keep your nose out of what democratic people do. You don't even know most of the material cause of inflation which has been spiking before the invasion. Go and check inflation after the end of the second world war and come back. This is what happens when economies open up after years of inactivity (Covid).

Russian inflation is 15%, but as usual a fool like you who doesn't know his left from right will post anything he sees online.

I'm sure you've even gone from saying USA should kick Russia out to now supporting Putin after your far-right websites have worked on your stupid brain for a couple of months.

Howfar with this guy at Brighton?
Someone here said we shouldn’t have signed fofana but kept Him since he is academy player

He hasn’t made Brighton first team yet
Lol

Cc ibime
Use sense na. No club has an obligation to add value to another clubs player while keeping their own player on the bench to devalue. Brighton defence were doing well so no need changing a winning formula. He will have to wait for injury as he is first sub.

Never judge a young player sent on loan if he fails to start cos he is fighting against another clubs interest in their own players in order to start. Same reason West Brom benched Gnabry in favour of their own players and same reason Rennes benched Jeremie Boga in order to promote Ousmane Dembele. Your trolling would make sense if Brighton defence was not performing much better than Chelsea defence right now.

Rishi will win in a general election but not with the Conservative party's 200k members who decide the next Prime Minister

Rishi messed himself up by backstabbing Boris who the Conservative members love. He also showed he is not a true Patriot by holding American green card till last year and for the fact his wife is non domiciliary, paying her taxes abroad

Jorginho was best player in Europe which means he carried everyone in Italy and Chelsea

City don't seem to be as defensively solid as usual because they are not starving other teams of the ball as before. While getting balls quickly to Haaland, they are not choking teams to death with passing as well as last season, giving teams more opportunity to counter them.

Factor in Osmotic pressure difference. The higher the pressure difference, the quicker something flows from one place to another.

The dominance of City over most EPL teams is much greater than the dominance of Dortmund over most Bundesliga teams so more goals will be scored.

The better comparison would be if he had played for Bayern in Bundesliga.

No. I've actually watched him and that centre Back they signed from Bochum, Bella-Kotchap.

In 2 years if they keep growing they'll be 60m players. They have loads of potential
Bella Kotchap is cooking but a bit clumsy on the ball. Great defensive awareness though. Only £9m

Another signing that looks promising for them is that Sekou Mara
