MODALSOUL1: You all have such great ideas to make Nigeria a better place ? Why not form a secret group and brainstorm ideas and action plan. Do you have the balls ? or is it all talk and no action? No one has any secret, our problems are multifaceted and the best one can do is make the best of what he/she can control. But, I don't get this endless self-flagellation on a forum where we are supposed to be discussing practicalities of property construction. It rankles when the thread is taken over by pages after pages of complaints from 'obodo-oyinbo' peeps, showing off their gelded lifestyles in societies they merely lucked on to, not that their forefathers contributed a single damn thing to build those societies. Ok, I appear to have jumped on a similar tangent - apologies. Last word on this. |

Can,t anyone here see that they were armed, and were apparently using cows to camourflage their intensions and what is this compared to the hundreds they have murdered . Why can,t this people stay up north like in daura , sokoto and kano for goodness sake and why can,t the southerners rear their own cows and stop eating these possessed hausa cows. Chai ... I just had to log in and comment on this. See rationalization. See dehumanization. Not people again, but they were 'Terrorists'. Cows as camo?

Christianity Etc › Re: Nigerian Mega-rich Pastors Living In Million Pound Homes Prey On Believers - UK by jabolo(m): 12:30pm On Jan 08, 2018 |
Those in the congregation in the early 90's would have been perfectly placed to ride the good luck wave of economic empowerment that took place in the UK since and, of course, would naturally attribute their success to the church, and donate accordingly. So the Pastor grow rich on this wave. It's a game of numbers they play - the unfortunates don't count as the 'testimonies' draw in more punters. One of such 'unfortunates' was my friend who also attended the church about the same time. He subsequently committed suicide owing to a long running psychological problem your church could not resolve. The smart thing about this scam is that the message can also be adapted to places like Nigeria where there is widespread poverty. It is simply re-packaged as the way out of any difficulties. Again, the 'testimonies' are carefully chosen and the Pastors' opulent lifestyle/Private Jets etc serve as further adverts. Hidden behind all this is the raw statistic of the many suffering and unrewarded attendees. You can't be educated and disagree with the notion that Nigeria should be a paradise on earth with the number of religious places proliferating in the place with their unrelenting prosperity messages. It's not bad belle Chief, it is *shakes heads in disbelief*. Any one got a meme? GallantGalaxy: Tell them oh. I started attending when he was in the tiny rented hall in dalston in the early 90s.

I am a civil servant and every month I always have deducted from my salary PAYE (abi is that not part of tax?), anytime I pay for something like electricity bill (even though no light!) I always pay along with VAT (is that not also part of tax?). In-spite of all these tax I paid, I still pay fully for my hospital bills, infact I have to look for my own hospital as government hospital is a death zone! No road to travel upon despite always renewing my vehicle papers. I have to put my children in private schools as government school is a no go place. I told you I paid my electricity bills with VAT included but I have to buy fuel everyday for my generator with the attendant noise pollution. I can list many more wrongs of government and reasons why citizen do not really need to pay any tax. Then I think you are ok and do not have to do anything since your only income is from PAYE. As for the bolded, that's a separate discussion but I feel your pain. |

chidexy: I bought the Materials (to cover the 120 sq M, 40 bags of white cement and 40 kg of the sponge (or whatever they call it)) and the guys charged 1500 per sq M as their workmanship (actually it was the supervisor/contractor who upped the amount, the guys charged 1000 Naira). In all, I spent about 410k Naira on the POP
Now I am considering whether or not to use POP for the rest of the rooms or PVC. About 10-12 bundles of 8-inches PVC would be required to cover the 170 sq M. Innoson is selling a bundle for 24k. If I opt to use POP, I would need to buy about 65 bags of white cement and 65 kg of the sponge.
I must say that the guys did a very neat and good job Thank you for this. |

kopell: Can you help enlighten us. Is these commercials building or private resident building, reasons why you decided to used 3 phase instead regular single phase. I do believe 3 phase tariff cost more then single phase. I may be wrong, the expect can share more light on these too, hoya make we hear from them. It's a relatively big private dwelling so any reputable distco would require the load to be spread among the circuits. The smaller building it is replacing was also on 3 phase supply as far as I know. On tariff, you are paying for energy (kwh) so it should not matter whether single phase or three phase but I concede the three phase meter may be more expensive. |

topsy23: The total connection was wrong initially, All the lighting and socket outlet connected to inverter shared the same neutral with PHCN /Generator instead of running a separate neutral cable from inverter equipment to a separate neutral bar on the inverter. Whenever there is power outage from PHCN , all the loads connected to inverter will shut down even the inverter breaker will trip off. During the investigation and troubleshooting, we discovered that there is backfield in the main changeover switch and generator breaker when the inverter is working only. The inverter model is XANTREX from US one of the most expensive inverter in the market. Ah, I see. A crazeman posing as an electrician was originally employed. |

Daboomb: Serious Stuff! On the other hand, will it not be cheaper to install filters and frequency stabilizers within the circuitry, instead of shopping for very xpensive and maybe not readily available Inverters that would suit those conditions? Just wondering. It is really not that serious in the grand scheme of things, just one other bothersome thing to consider by operators already trying to keep a weak system afloat. So, would you not rather tell a noise maker to keep quiet than distribute ear muffs to all the other kids in a classroom as a comparable example? If the inverters are properly designed in the first place you shouldn't have harmonic related problems in the system, at least not beyond the acceptable tolerances. |

topsy23: You are right by separating the clean power from the raw power. some residential buildings and some offices use the same distribution board for raw power and inverter ...
After series of testing and other rigorous troubleshooting, we discovered that there was heavy backfield from inverter equipment to changeover and generator. This has caused them to change their generator before they contacted us cos it has damaged so many including their generator. Thank God we corrected everything and they are enjoying the power supply till date. Did you test for harmonics? This is what a sub-optimal inverter spews out into the electrical system in several directions and no amount of DB separation can offer protection to sensitive equpment (i presume their old generator suffered stator inter-winding overheat and/or damage to its own control circuitry) without a harmonic filter in place. If you did not replace the inverter, or install harmonic filters, I suspect you just got lucky with a replacement generator with inbuilt resilience but you're still sending that stuff out to the distribution network accumulating problems elsewhere resulting in system outages. There should be standards for inverters allowed to be installed in our homes and we should not allow any cheap stuff just to be imported. |

sometime you want to seperate inverter/solar load from AC/WATER HEAVY STUFF from inverter.. good to have smaller d4 single phase by the side of the big D8/D6... I used 3 DBs in mine for this reason. D8 + D6 to share the load on different sides of the building then a separate D4 for load that can be served by an inverter. All 3 phase though.
