Foreign AffairsRe: SA Divided As "White" Opposition Burns National Flag In Election Advert (PICS) by Konquest: 3:49pm On May 13, 2024
WannaHowzit:
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has hit out at the main opposition party after one of its election adverts featured a national flag engulfed in fire.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has defended the image saying it wanted to highlight its argument that the country is in trouble.

Watch advert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcdZRAP3cn0?si=FWmf1OOAJbmafs1u

Burning the flag is not illegal, but the president called the DA's depiction an "abuse", adding that it undermined the unity of the country.

Campaigning has become increasingly fractious ahead of the 29 May general election.

In the advert, as the flag is seen going up in flames, a voice-over warns "life will only get worse" under the African National Congress (ANC), which has been in power since 1994.

The burning of the flag is then reversed as the speaker urges voters to support the DA.

"This election is about survival," it ends as the flag is replenished and returns to its original form.

The DA advert angered some South Africans who accused the party of desecrating the flag to highlight challenges faced by citizens.

In a statement on Tuesday, the president said while he was committed to free speech, this has to "be exercised with respect for all people and that it does not incite social upheaval or violence".

In his campaigning, Mr Ramaphosa has acknowledged that there are problems in the country, but he has also emphasised the transformation that South Africa has made in the last three decades.

The ANC led the struggle against white-minority rule and the legalised form of racial discrimination known as apartheid.

"South Africans are more educated, empowered and healthier than they were under apartheid," Mr Ramaphosa has said, urging people not to threaten that progress.

Addressing the media on Sunday, when the advert was launched, DA leader John Steenhuisen said it was a "symbolic representation of the future that awaits South Africa if people do not vote for the DA".


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGcHMXdyWJI?si=IFqRA3bzxi1zuaLL

South Africa goes to the polls on May 29. The governing ANC is expected to lose support after 30 years in power. This will be the most contested election since Nelson Mandela was voted president in 1994. The official opposition, DA, is often accused of representing white interests.
The 3 dimensional image of the burning SA flag and the rebirth of the same SA flag in the advert self-explanatory... A very creative DA ad concept to stir up conversations about nationhood.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Discovers 511 Billion Barrels Of Oil & Gas In British Antarctica (Photos) by Konquest: 3:20pm On May 13, 2024
WriterNig:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/business/2024/05/11/TELEMMGLPICT000184427401_17154398430920_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpVlberWd9EgFPZtcLiMQf0Rf_Wk3V23H2268P_XkPxc.jpeg
Russia has discovered vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511 billion barrels of oil, about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week.

It follows a series of surveys by the Alexander Karpinsky vessel, operated by Rosgeo – the Russian agency charged with finding mineral reserves for commercial exploitation.

Antarctica is meant to be protected by the 1959 Antarctic Treaty that bans all mineral or oil developments. The UK’s interests are overseen by the Foreign Office – but it has been accused of ignoring the emerging crisis.

Junior minister David Rutley last week told the EAC that his department had decided to trust Russian assurances it was just conducting scientific research, adding: “Russia has recently reaffirmed its commitment to the key elements of the treaty.”

Experts on the region disagree, warning that placing any trust in Russia to stick to its obligations was naive – as shown by its invasion of Ukraine.

Klaus Dodds, professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway College, an expert in Antarctica, who also gave evidence, said Russia’s activities were far closer to prospecting for oil and gas than to genuine science.

“The Antarctic Treaty faces renewed challenges not least from bad-faith actor Russia and increasingly assertive China.

“Rosgeo has been engaging in seismic surveys and other related surveying work … Russia’s activities need to be understood as a decision to undermine the norms associated with seismic survey research, and ultimately a precursor for forthcoming resource extraction.”

The British Antarctic Territory (BAT) forms the largest and most southerly of the UK’s 14 Overseas Territories – and the least hospitable with 99pc of it covered in ice.

That's a huge find of crude oil and gas... But the treaty to protect that environment must be respected by all since other huge oil reserves still exist.
Christianity EtcRe: How God Dealt With Billionaires Who Queried Me Over Their Tithe – Pastor Adeboye by Konquest:
Odewaleadesoye:
The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed how God dealt with some billionaires who questioned his accountability over their tithes.

Pastor Adeboye disclosed that four billionaires from one of the branches of RCCG had written to him demanding to know how the ministry spent their tithes.


Addressing his members, Pastor Adeboye disclosed that God punished the branch as most of the members started suffering in their businesses and their contracts were being cancelled.

He said:

“The tithe that was coming from this family was hefty. All of a sudden a handful of the big men wrote to me and said every month, you must give us an account of how you are spending our tithe. I said okay, ‘what they are asking for is alright, they are simply asking for transparency. Nothing is wrong with that.

“I said, however, I have gone through the Bible, I have not seen anywhere where God spoke to Moses and said every month, you must give an account of the tithe children of Israel to them. So, I said alright, I will do two things.

“Number one, I will prepare a detailed account of how your money is spent, including if we buy a bottle of coke for first timers. I will put it in a file and every month when you people come for the Holy Ghost Service, that file be on the table. I won’t give it to you. I will put it on the table.

“Anyone who wants to see it can go and read it. But make sure you wait till I have left the room because everything that we are doing in earth is being recorded in heaven. I don’t want my God to say you are the one who handed it over to them and you are there when they were reading. And I did it.

“Number two, I told the treasurer, from now on, any tithe that came from this family, don’t add it to the rest, put it aside. Let me find out if the God who sent me can run his church without these people’s contributions. So, for two separate years, every kobo that came for this family was kept in a separate account.

“It was when Aboaba came from Ibadan, I sent him there and then after he had been in the church for some months, he came to me. He said the people you asked me to go and join are complaining that things are not going well, and they have found out that they offended me, and that’s why their contracts are being cancelled and all manner of things are happening.

“I said we are not quarrelling and God knows I wasn’t quarrelling. I just ignore it. He then said when you knew this was the problem, why did you send me there? I said I didn’t know anything was happening. I just want to know how gracious God can be to me. Then, we reconciled. It wasn’t everybody that offended me.

“It was a handful of people who thought that they were cleverer than God and they brought problems to everybody. It will interest you to know that every one of those involved in that group is no longer in the church and they are not where they ought to be, let me just put it like that.”


DAILY POST
You're NOT serious are you?

Tbh, except Adeboye was quoted incorrectly by the media and bloggers (like they so often do without fact-checking and to draw online and offline traffic), then this is an absolute case of scaremongering from the pulpit and inappropriate verbal comments from a religious leader.

I suspect the pressures of old age are telling on him for him to have "gloated" over the temporary financial challenges of his former church members who are Billionaires, and he has to pick a trusted and experienced successor to lead his congregation from here on out... Then take a rest. Period.

EducationRe: Kawthar Shehu Toro: My JAMB Scores Success Story – Gombe Top Scorer by Konquest: 1:35pm On May 13, 2024
Odewaleadesoye:
Kawthar Shehu Toro, 16-year-old student of Pen Resource Academy, Gombe, emerged as top scorer from Gombe State, in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). In this interview, the SS3 student spoke on the secret behind her success and future plans. Excerpt:


Tell us a little about yourself



You scored 348 in your UTME. Was this something you particularly aimed to achieve before you took the exams?



So, is it possible for someone to have a score in mind and actually get it?



How do you feel now that your efforts have paid off?



How long did it take to prepare for the examination?



Were you always ahead in class or were you an average student?



What is your reading pattern? Do you read all the time?



Which university did you apply to and what course?



Why did you choose medicine?



Has anyone in your family encouraged you to study medicine?



Apart from studying medicine, do you have other plans?



Aside from medicine, what other courses do you think you can study?


DAILY TRUST
That's impressive... From her name, she's a Fulani girl. She's got to be really good in the sciences in order to make it through as a Medical student and graduate. Congratulations to her.

~~~~~~~~
So, is it possible for someone to have a score in mind and actually get it?

Yes, it is not just luck. Our school introduced us to an app called Test Gorilla, where you can answer past questions like a JAMB mock practice. My first mock score was 230.

I was not so happy with it. I relaxed and thought I only needed 30 more marks. But when I heard that rumour, I knew that I had to work for more. I really wanted to exceed the cut-off mark so that I have a chance at competing for admission.

The score I got wasn’t actually my plan because there were some days that I was tired and wanted to relax, but I knew that I had to work for it, give up enjoyment and sleep. It’s not just luck.

Only Two Things Needed To Start Trading

* Money
* Broker

Getting Started In Stock Trading

If you're unfamiliar with trading on the stock market, this page is for you. For those who have never bought a stock, but have some money they'd like to invest, we've put together this quick overview to help you get started.
Brokerage Accounts

Every investor needs a stock broker to handle buy and sell orders. The first step is to decide which kind of firm will work best for you. Do you need one that offers full service, or can you go with a discount brokerage firm? Please read on and decide.
Full Service Stock Brokers

The advantage of a full service account is that you'll get more personalized attention. The broker will understand what your investment goals are and can offer recommendations on what and when to buy and sell. However, because their commissions can run as high as $100 a trade, this type of account works best for those with high net worth and/or minimal trading activity.

most full service brokers are not a good fit if you want to trade in penny stocks because you'll be investing smaller amounts of money and doing it more frequently. The high commission fees involved would take a huge bite out of your potential profits. Instead, we recommend using a discount brokerage firm.
Discount Stock Brokers

Discount brokers do not offer the same level of service, but they're still available to answer your questions. You've probably seen the television ads for firms that execute trades for the low fee of ten or twenty dollars. With commissions that low, naturally it's going to leave you with more money to work with.

Other discount brokerage advantages include online account access via computer or an automated telephone system. From your computer, you can monitor your account activity, keep track of open orders, and get relevant market information and stock quotes. This is a great benefit to penny stock investors because of the 24/7 access, one very good example of discount brokers is www.pectstocks.com .

Pect stocks is a Nigerian based global stocks broker that have their head office in the US, surprise? Pect stocks is a global (online) stocks broker that has one of the most robust trading platform that gives you the access to stock market of about 57 countries in the world. with Pect stocks you can research for any stock in the world and with them in Nigeria, you can trade DOW JONES, NASDAQ, S&P 500 and any type of stock you can think of.

Now i know you must have been wondering how an international stock brokerage system could be found in Nigeria or you might have been questioning their level of expertise, this pect brokerage system is an entity that have been found worthy by a US based regulated broker and they gave them an access to inter-media between we the traders and them, this means that they are a subsidiary of a standard US global stocks brokerage organization, as you are reading this article, i have already doubled my account severally on a penny stocks i bought through this broker and i have also joined their marketing team, don't be left out.

If you need assistance in find a good discount global (online) stock broker or creating your trading account, simply call me on:

TV/MoviesRe: I Have A Smart Tv, Never Knew I Was Wasting Money On Dstv by Konquest: 12:47pm On May 13, 2024
Rich4god:
For more than 2 years I have been consistently subscribing to DSTV, from last year march till last month, I was on price lock on 9k for compact. No doubt I was actually enjoying dstv especially premier league football.

So my subscription expired last week and I checked the new price for compact, it was 15k+. Geskiya I said I can't be subscribing again. The money is too much. Thanks almost 180k per year.

So yesterday, I was at home, was now playing around with my TV apps, what I saw really amazed me.

There are plenty apps that shows children movies, another ones shows action films, though old, but they are interesting. There is an afroland TV that shows Nigerian movies. This afroland shows live France 24 news. There is Plex TV that shows live channels and still have movies too.

Then I discovered that Al Jazeera, channels TV and some other news channels shows live on YouTube. Worst of it all is that, on YouTube there are some personal channels that have full videos on movies both foreign and locals, with very recent cartoons.

Then I said let me test the cast option. Lo and behold, when man city match started, I used a stream app to watch football on my phone then I now casted it to TV. O boy, everything clear.

I watched Man city, Tottenham and Chelsea matches.

When I was leaving the house after Chelsea match, I checked my data, despite connecting it to my TV since morning, I didn't blow up to 4g.

So if I used that my 9k I was using to subscribe to DSTV compact and buy Airtel 22g for 5k, I will be on unlimited streaming till month end.

Watch at you own space.

In addition, some of these documentaries that is been shown on nat geographic gold and wild, discovery channel, investigation ID, there episodes are there on YouTube. All you need is to search for it.

My brothers and sisters....

Bye bye to DSTV and other paid TV.


In addition, there is a radio app on the smart TV that brings to you plenty radio channels both home and abroad. What I haven't confirmed is if it's live or pre recorded.
PoliticsRe: Sanwo-Olu Receives Prince Harry & Meghan Markle by Konquest: 12:09pm On May 13, 2024
God1000:
Praises British Royal couple for working with Nigeria’s military on mental health

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, received the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, on Sunday.

The British Royal couple was received by Governor Sanwo-Olu; his wife, Dr. Ibijoke, and some members of the State Executive Council during a courtesy visit at Lagos House, Marina.

Prince Harry, accompanied by his wife, Meghan, is on a three-day visit to Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014. The couples had a stopover in Lagos on Sunday.

The Invictus Games are aimed at raising funds and supporting serving members of the military as well as veterans to overcome their physical and mental illness or injuries, which would help them to develop a sense of belonging and increased self-esteem.

Speaking to journalists after a closed door meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Governor Sanwo-Olu praised the British Royal couple for the work they are doing with Nigeria’s military men, especially on issues around mental health.

He said: "We are honoured to receive them (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) at the Lagos House, Marina. We are excited about the ideas and what they are planning to do, especially with the office of the Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa, and his wife, Mrs. Lilian Musa.

"For Prince Harry, it has been a very interesting and informative trip to the country. He has seen a lot. And part of the things we are hoping he will take away is the diversity and extent of how big our country is, how we continue to ensure that we live together in peace and harmony, and what role Lagos plays in the whole conversation.

"They have been to Kano, Abuja, and now Lagos. I am sure they have their own experience of what Nigeria looks like. We have extended an additional invitation to them that they can always come back when they want to.

"We are indeed happy for what they are doing, especially for our military men, on the conversation around mental health issues and how they can galvanise their various NGOs to ensure that people who require their support, both in the military and private, can seek that support.

"Mental health issues are all around us. Denial and stigmatisation, are some of the things we talked about. And more importantly, at what point in Nigeria can we have the Invictus Games that Prince Harry is known for so that the true Nigerian competitiveness can also be reflected in those games"



https://www.facebook.com/100064441879510/posts/pfbid02LW7hf2R83E3WjjZskBkMTFcfmA159rWD6Ckkwre4os5sTrrgSnB8t9QpngECrQ73l/
That's an insightful speech from the Lagos State Governor.

Life is indeed a continuum and just simply surreal. I remember full well the little boy called Prince Harry back in the 1980s when he was born with all the media paparazzi and now he's a very tall man who has been in active British military service in war-torn areas of the world.

joemag:
I recently went home to check on my parents. It happens that our lastborn who is in a boarding school also was around for a week break they were given at school.

On one of the evenings as I was talking to her and her dreams and aspirations this 16 old girl told me she wanted to become a Feminist. I was shocked but remained calm and gently asked her what she meant by being a Feminist.
She told me that by that she aims to become an advocate of women's right. She started narrating how men are domesticating women and whole lots.
I was marvelled at her passion and zeal and how convincing she was .
Deep down I knew that I have a problem to solve and I needs pragmatic steps in order not to cause more harms.

This girl has written her JAMB with nice scores and will soon be in the varsity.

Please, is there anyone with concrete approach on how I will go about this?
That's quite interesting.

Being a Feminist in it's true sense isn't a bad thing but a couple of toxic strains of women are deviating from the ideal definition of feminism. Even some men worldwide are Feminists who have a passion for the welfare of women and ensuring that they have a level playing field to gain access to opportunities in the society just like men.

Therefore, read up about what Feminism truly entails and let your 16-year-old younger sister KNOW about the two aspects of Feminists out there, then guide her during further discussions towards the legit aspect of Feminism. I suspect that she is gearing up to read law or any of the social sciences in the Uni based on her interest in being a Feminist.

Meghan's father is a White man and her mother is an African-American. Therefore Meghan is of mixed race descent. This info is for the few ignorant posters here who are trying to associate her with a particular ethnicity based on her caramel or light skin complexion.

Second, it depends on what 43 percent Nigerian ancestry means though. 23 and Me, and AncestryDNA are the major DNA testing companies that I've known for over 20 years now that assign percentages to their tests. These percentage tests however do NOT tell you what specific ethnic groups you come from but only broadly say you are from the Nigeria, Benin/Togo, Cameroon/Congo, Mali, Ghana/Ivory Coast Regions based on your genetic markers.


Many from what is now Nigeria were taken on slave schooners to the Americas in the 1700s and 1800s from among the Hausas (in Brazil, Haiti, U.S.A, etc), Yorubas (in Cuba, Brazil, U.S.A, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, etc), Nupes, Ibo, Efik/Ibibio (in Cuba), Kanuris (Slave ship records show that out of an estimated 99,752 "Liberated Africans," a population of over 700 Kanuris had been liberated at various times from slave ships by the British Royal Navy Squadrons patrolling off the Atlantic coast of West Africa in the 1800s and resettled in Freetown, Sierra Leone). These folks were MAJORLY captives from the Fulani jihad in the North of Nigeria as told by the Kanuri man Ali Eisami Gazirmabe who had an Islamic teacher father, and Ali Eisami [Eisami means "son of Aisha" in the Kanuri tradition] was captured around 1812/1813 and sold into slavery by the Fulani invaders of the Borno area.

The last ever infamous American slave ship (Clotilda) that sailed into the United States in 1859 from Whydah (now in Benin Republic) into Mobile in Alabama, United States on the eve of the American Civil War had majorly Yorubas from the Bante region of Yorubaland in the current Benin Republic and some captive long-distance traders from Yorubaland in Nigeria onboard, with some Nupes (Tapas), a Fon noble man, and a few Hausas, etc. Oluale Kosola (was onboard the infamous Clotilda, and renamed Kojo Lewis on arrival in Mobile, Alabama) and others built a settlement called Africatown in Alabama after the American Civil War ended in 1865, and all enslaved Africans in the Deep South were freed from plantation slavery. The Africatown descendants are still alive as of today in the United States with some holding prominent positions in entertainment and more.

Most African-Americans, Afro-South Americans and African-Carribeans, etc, are NOW ancestrally mixed up and based on DNA analyses, most show ancestries from all parts of the major regions and ethnic groups of Africa where enslaved Africans were taken from (and European ancestries as well) because of the forced intermingling of White men and African women who were enslaved on the plantations, then after slavery was abolished, there were legal marriages between Whites and Blacks as well.

TravelRe: XEJET Aircraft Skids Off Runway At Murtala Mohammed Airport by Konquest:
fergie001:
Barely 16 days after Dana Air was shut down by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authorities, another Nigeria aircraft belonging to XEJET Airlines also skidded off the runway and landed in the grass at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos on Saturday.

Following this development, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has shut the 18/Left runway of the airport

The Airbus with registration 5N-BZZ with 52 passengers on board departed Abuja and landed in Lagos at 11.29 am.

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau confirmed the incident.

The NSIB noted that the aircraft belonging to XEJET Airlines skidded off the runway of the domestic wing of the airport.


SOURCE


Nifemi O.
This is the wet, rainy season so these random aircraft skids are NOT totally strange because of the wet conditions of the runways.

Pilot errors of judgement can't be ignored here as well. The speed at landing could have been high or the aircraft touched down deep into the runway thereby reducing the available distance for deploying its reverse thrusters and appying the brakes.

Back in 2019, a widebody Air Peace aircraft skidded off the Port Harcourt Airport runway and scene was posted here on NL in the link below, and other news sources. So, this should serve as a reminder to those ignorant posters giving out misleading and alarmist information on this thread that it's a global phenomenon.

Last but not least, the Nigerian aviation sector hasn't experienced any major loss of lives from plane crashes since the horrendous Dana plane crash in a residential area in Lagos State within the last 12 years. Kudos to everyone in the aviation sector in Nigeria for largely keeping things safe, but more has to be done to keep the runways safe for all sizes of aircraft to take off and land. Period.

There were 3 famous Babangida brothers.

1) Tijani Babangida annoyed me very much when he played for Roda JC Kerkrade. He would get the ball, dribble and run with speed down the flank, which was very good, but it was as if he didn't know what to do when he got to the byline and he would always lose the ball.

However, he matured and improved significantly when he moved to Ajax Amsterdam. That was when he began running directly at goal and scoring great goals. He was part of the Atlanta '96 gold medal winning team and the 2000 Nations Cup silver medal winning team.


2) Ibrahim Babangida was another wonderful winger who was in the Japan '93 world cup winning Golden Eaglets and who played for my club, Stationery Stores, before moving to the Netherlands.

3) Everybody initially thought that Haruna Babangida was going to be a superstar. Why else would Barcelona sign him to their youth team? But he never fulfilled that potential.

May Ibrahim Babangida's soul rest in peace and may Tijani Babangida and his wife have speedy recoveries.

Foreign AffairsRe: Pentagon Orders US Soldiers To Withdraw From Niger Republic by Konquest: 8:46pm On May 10, 2024
nlfpmod:
The Pentagon this week formally ordered all 1,000 U.S. combat troops to withdraw from Niger, a blow to the Biden administration’s effort to counterterrorism and Russian influence in West Africa.

The U.S. announced in April that it would begin discussing plans for “an orderly and responsible withdrawal” after Niger’s military junta declared it would revoke its military cooperation deal with Washington. But U.S. officials have continued to negotiate with the junta over the terms of the withdrawal and whether there was any possibility some American troops could stay.

Hopes for an agreement dimmed this week when the Defense Department directed the roughly 1,000 U.S. troops in Niger to leave the country over the next several months, according to a U.S. official, who was granted anonymity to speak ahead of an announcement.

The timeline could still shift, the official cautioned, and congressional negotiations are ongoing.

Troops will move to other locations within the region from which they can still operate, the official said. The drawdown — which could still be reversed until it is complete — does not include embassy security personnel.

The move upends years of counterterrorism efforts in the Sahel. Niger, particularly a U.S.-built drone base at Agadez, had been a linchpin of that strategy until the country’s military overthrew the government in a coup last summer.

The U.S. partnership with Niger was also a bulwark against Russia’s growing influence in the region. Since the coup, Russian forces, including former members of the Wagner group, have begun to flow into the country. Between 60 and 100 Russian fighters have been living at the same air base as American troops in the capital of Niamey, Base 101, for weeks.

While U.S. officials say the Russian troops do not pose an immediate threat to the Americans, officials are worried that the fighters could go rogue and take actions to antagonize U.S. soldiers, POLITICO reported.

A U.S. delegation is in Niger having conversations with the junta about the withdrawal. Deputy Secretary of State Molly Phee, along with senior leaders at the Department of State, Department of Defense, U.S. Africa Command, the U.S. Embassy in Niger and others, are engaged in “ongoing frank discussions with the CNSP authorities in Niger,” according to a State Department spokesperson.

“We do not want to speculate and get ahead of the discussions. “

Just seeing images of American and Russian flags, troops, military vehicles and other equipment staying side-by-side within the same Niger Republic military base cracked me up. Those images looked so surreal in the midst of the ongoing fierce Russian-Ukraine War.

Laughnow419:
This is the Eden Lotus Power powerstation or 2kva solar generator. This is not an advert I am a customer.

We do call people out when they do bad. Let's call them out for good too.

Nigerians don't like to read long epistle so before I start typing my suffer to get this let me go straight to the point and tell you about the system

As at the time of buying this powerstation I priced Yoobao en2200q a close rival. It was 1.390m.. everywhere was 1.4 million upwards without delivery, without panels, without warranty and assistance.
Eden lotus power gave a very limited offer for the package at 1.2 million for everything including the panels and delivery.
The solar panel was 500w and it was bonus...
For that same 1.2 million. Both the delivery of the panels and powerstation was still inside that 1.2 million.


Charging speed is a very big problem well This Eden lotus power 2Kva solar generator supports 1620w of both solar and Ac charging. Thereby getting you from 0-10 in 1 hour 12 minutes or 15 minutes there about.
Then only Ac wall charging is 1098 - 1120w getting you from 0-10 in 1.80 hours which is 1 hour 48 minutes.

This is also a UPS. 1000 milliseconds makes a seconds.
For you to blink your eye is 150 milliseconds. Well this UPS feature is 10 milliseconds. I use this in my office you cannot know when there is light or no light. The switching time is so fast that with this you can lie youre not using Nepa and nobody will know except you confess. Even if NEPA officials are in your office they will be there Nepa will go they will not know.
Those who work on computer for long this will save your system from crashing.

Smart outlet. For example if your phone is full and the battery notices energy isn't going out of it. It will automatically shut of that outlet. Maybe you slept off.

Digital display. Etc
So below is a video of me unboxing it. Now let me show u how I suffered for alternate power source

This beast is in my office for 24/7 light with its 10 milliseconds switching time
That's very insightful.

Unreliable internet has always been an issue for me in Lagos. The best Internet Service Providers use Fibre Optics but have very limited coverage areas. So when I heard Starlink would be rolling out their Low Orbit internet service in Africa, It Immediately piqued my Interest.

I made a preorder for the service in May of 2021 with a refundable deposit of $99. I did this due to the projected rollout of the service by the end of 2021. I did not get any update from Starlink until early december of 2022. I was told to pay up a balance of $501 so my exquipment would be shipped.

8 days after making full payment, my Starlink Equipment was delivered to me by DHL. It is a plug and play device that is easy to install by following very simple steps on the manual. I mounted the dish on my compound, at a postion with good sky visibility and the device connected to an available Satellite within a few minutes.

My Internet experience is now the best I have ever had it, here in Nigeria.

Total cost of Equipment $600
Monthly Subscription for Unlimited Internet $43


God Bless Elon Musk
