why buy 500w toks panels for 150k, 400w 130k, 250w panels relabelled as 300w 70k. when u can get brand new jinko 550w from fouani for 161k toks wey u never know if it has been used for over 10yrs

Thanks. About to order for 4pcs 435w as I already have 24v cc, inverter and charger. BUT, everyone says 48v system is best so maybe I should just get the 550w(x2) instead? That way I will be future-proof, but will 2x550w pv work well with a 24v system(for now)?

CaveAdullam:
You can say this again and again.

The mindset of the average Nigerian is to score one goal and claim the trophy, forgetting that there are still more games in the future.

That's the consequence of being dealt mercilessly with the whips of poverty and lack. Funnily, these sets of people treat their neighbors with disdain and impatience.

Once they have seen the light, they don't mind closing others to darkness. You can see how major activists have become reticent or just playing along and deceiving the people.

Once the money + connection is there, the rest can go fvck themselves.

They forget that no part of the body is free from malignant cancer even if starts at the tiniest toe on the ground.

Also, another telling sign of a defeated/sabotaged economy is near-universal harlotry. And Nigerian women think that they are balling. Reminiscent of Nazi-occupied France during WW2.

Just be sure of your source's expertise and integrity.

It took me a lot of stress before I found where I could get correct capacity panels. Then I decided to start selling to help plug that gap of fake capacity panels.

This is a side hustle for me as I have a day job.

But, I have noticed most buyers would rather go for cheaper panels or close price but higher label capacity. And they usually turn out to be relabelled ones. 🙂

She sent pics. I assume that is a way they calculate wattage (by cell count).

CaveAdullam:
I agree. There are some things you can't change in life. However, most of those things are the schemes of nature and ones not within the strength of men at the moment.

E.g. Natural disaster. Death. The past.

But you know what?

Most of the things we've left to fate are things a 10-man committee filled with honorable men can solve. With the masses behind them.

We've left the basic needs of life to fate because we live, breathe, eat, and move in a cesspool.

We leave clean water to fate.
We leave farms to fate.
We leave security to fate.
We leave good hospitals to fate.
We leave good roads to fate.
We leave electricity to fate.
We leave national development to fate.

The above now looks like the supernatural because we've been harassed, ransacked, and fvcked in the hole by useless government and poverty.

Developed world are trying by all means to bring nature to her knees. So that humans can fully be in charge. A biological company has started preserving dead bodies with the hope of resurrection.

Right here in Africa... Very funny place to be.

Lol.

Economic oppression is a horror. Like my guy would say, 'we just dey on autopilot '. One unremarkable day is indistinguishable from the next, muddled in a haze just for survival. Life in these parts is brutish and short. Like crabs in a bucket, we cannot collaborate for freedom. But rather the fellow who, briefly, manages to rise above the poverty line fancies himself a sage or God's chosen. He begins to tell you that he alone (and by God's grace) improved his condition and how you must do the same and not 'rant'. He is not roused to anger by the suffocation around him. He will not stand with you and fight. In his mind he is blessed and better pass hin neighbor.

300w panels Clearance sales

12pcs of ~300w for clearance sales @86k each!!

Reason for sale
Buyer begged a friend in alaba to help him get panels and other solar devices.

Later buyer got referred to me by a colleague for installation.

Buyer got the shocker of his life when I analysed the panels and told him they were relabelled to 400w. 😳

Now buyer wants to go for 550w panels and needs to dispose these off at a great discount. Panels were bought at the rate of 110k

Location is ojodu Berger, but can be sent to any part of Nigeria.

URGENT SALES!!

clearance sale at 86k but I got a quote of 70k for 300w(72 cells) tokunbo mono panels from the same Alaba. What's the catch? Cos I'm sure the Alaba guys are up to something again.

Osgilliat:
I was once a victim of this same police men at that same spot. There is a tactic they use

They will stop or delay the car in front of you running green until the light changes back to red then getting you caught right in the middle of the road. Next, a traffic officer will approach you telling you to park. The traffic officer will do as if he/she doesn’t know what the police men at the check point did to delay you then billing and negotiation will start.

Have been trying to catch them in the act so I can show their faces to the whole world. Bunch of criminals in uniform.

That same junction where the police, lastma, vIO work the racket together. I can't imagine their superiors are unaware.
They tried it with someone I know sometime last month. He was ready for them so after arguing small in the middle of the road (while the first thief/officer was trying to get to open the car window/door). Driver moved to the side like he was going to park but suddenly, zoomed off full speed. 2 of the armed robbers tried to get in front waving gun but they cleared when they saw that he was ready to end them troway. Na express I dey look for front so. Useless thieves in uniform. They should be arrested and charged for armed robbery.

Hello..

Boss.
Had to login to comment. Lost my boy(3yr old Gsd) in somewhat similar circumstances just over 2 months ago and I am inconsolable. At the end he wouldn't move and diagnosis was an adrenal crisis. A withdrawal/side effect of the many drugs. The most beautiful dog and practically family. I'll just say that when you have to force feed an adult dog constantly, it's not good.
Much of an animal's perception of living is in the present. They have no real past-future recollections/goals. So, when they suffer debilitating illness it robs them of the enjoyment of life. Thinking of it this way made it slightly easier for me to let go. I hope it helps you too.

It's just a part of the plan that has been at least a year in the making. The POS cash-out vendors have been let to pseudo-organically grow into a virulent hydra by the CBN. Along with the other actors it's only a matter of time and the polity will combust from within, then their true intentions will be revealed. Good or bad.

In the old days donations would be made to orphanages, missions, public schools. Never to a grown man/woman. Then came NGOs, Pentecostal churches. Now everywhere Gofundme.
Back then a businessman would take (Bank) loans, if he was lucky an investor or two. This was proof in itself that the business was viable. To panhandle was a thing unthinkable.

This man is brilliant
Can't take it away from him

On the contrary, it's obvious he's quite daft( also desperate). Currency swap vs 'confiscation' is the same difference if the new notes are scarcer than the old ones. A cashless policy demands scarcity. For a swap program, the general population would have this same extreme scarcity because these politicians would still be first in line for the available cash( with no electronic trail this time). That said, for sure they currently have much of the new notes and WILL buy votes per usual.
But you have to understand the mindset of a thief. To their minds, they hustled for this loot (Billions in old notes) and would rather die than have it become worthless. That is the crux.
Oya lug it to the banks to pay into your (and your cronies) accounts na. Dangerous because that leaves a trail that will certainly come back to bite. Sooner rather than later.

They are so frustrated right now. Love to see it!

Guys no 3rd party is supposed to have your NIN.

BVN and Driver's license, maybe, because those are all over the place anyway. But asking for your NIN after filling in your other details is just very shady. You have to remember that these payment processors are unregulated and at this point it looks like they are actively phishing for Identity theft.

Even on the Official NIMC app and card print-out, this number is default hidden(for good reason). Anyone who wants to verify your identity is supposed to scan the barcode, why are you giving them the number?!
Now, the GOTOK one in particular won't even let you 'verify' without typing in your NIN. The alternatives won't work. Quite dubious.

And why do they all seem to have rudimentary local(WEMA SAVINGS account?) bank funding details?

KnowledgeIsPawa:
Unlike, NIPOST that is difficult to stop, Nigerians can stop this by complaining en mass to aliexpress customer care that they are collecting money for free shipping . The Nigerian franchise wouldn't want to lose their business with aliexpress. They actually only deliver items below the threshold of duties. So, no money should exchange hands.

On point..Wisdom, don't leave me bro.

Another angle is that customers mostly tip and pay the spurious handling charges because, otherwise, the (NIPOST) workers will maliciously hide your items, refuse to text you or just generally frustrate subsequent collections. And the ogas will do nothing for you.

Super shady entity, that's what Nipost is. They said, on 5th of May, that the parcel was in transit to Nigeria. Then they said they didn't have it in their system on the 2nd of August.

I guess Aliexpress disabled my account because they thought I received the parcel and still filed a dispute for refund. It was my first order on that account.

They said Nipost should give me proof that they don't have it, Nipost said there's no such thing.

They all just wasted my money, effort and time.

I'm glad Speedaf is here, honestly.

NIPOST are amateurs. Just this morning their system showed my RB package: 14 Sep Arrived destination country/Recieved at delivery office. The same thing showed on Track24 etc.
Checking NIPOST now they have backtracked it to 30 Aug Edi-Recieved ... meanwhile all other trackers still show 14 Sep Recieved at delivery office/Failed delivery. Also, I've been having a back and forth with them over a similar item with Failed delivery 04 Sep

These are expensive electronic parts but useless to the casual NIPOST thief so the delays/thefts is deliberate and clear sabotage.

This worries me.

Na the real china level AliExpress dey show up now. Not doing enough to protect customers. With all the orders they refund from shipping lapses, they decide to let the sellers get away with scams since it is the only way they get their commission.

Except if you want to build a low budget house....even as at that I can bet my balls that money won't be enough....the highest that money can do...is to take it up to roofing level...anyway, just start it sha and see it has a continuous thing or project that must be completed over a long period of time ...

Building a house is not funny and easy...na so i start one last two years because say i dey see small small boys dey build mansion for our area for sapele road, Benin city
As i start am na there i realize what have put my hand into
Initially i wanted a metro tiles roof and parafet abi na parapet
But as i begin buy steel rod and cement from foundation.
Shaperly na im i change mind say if i fit do am reach roofing level then na the normal roofing i go use. Buying of wood( plank) for budding and three quarter granite nearly give me depression.

Even up till now the building dey there. No money to even do the normal roofing not to talk of metro tiles
A real niggarrr is too young to die because of house
I can't kill myself. Make the building dey there

I dey always wait for this your roofing comment and e dey resonate.
