Here it’s 6k per kilo. Last one I bought was 4500 or thereabouts, just a few units to a full 1 kilo. I will advise you go for chicken lap instead of the wings. You get more value from the lap. For Turkey, 1kg is 10k. Location, Abeokuta.

When almost every Nigerian household has provided themselves with electricity courtesy of several of these popular solar power stations.

Nigerian government has failed her citizens. Failed to provide good road, security of lives and properties, portable water, affordable housing etc.

A revolution is underway I so believe and I can’t wait.

Any opinion or principle that feels unrealistic is a trash for me, and I don’t care from whose mouth such principle comes from…

The hate comments against VDM are definitely from the Nigerian social media influencers- fake product influencers, ponzi promoters, people that lack integrity and would do whatever to earn money… we know you all…

If the west are not part of those that benefits from established poverty in Nigeria, rather than strategically sabotaging Visa and other traveling related applications of Nigerian masses, they should place complete ban on all our leaders and maintain they focus on ensuring their country is better and upon achieving this goal, the ban will be lifted. And I feel there should be an authority any registered lawyer can leverage to move this motion before the relevant western court under international law.

Clearly another wealth creation scheme

The BYD Yangwang U8 has an emergency floating mode, which allows it to handle calm floods if one ever occurs while driving it.

How the Floating Mode Works

• The SUV automatically detects when water depth goes above normal wading limits (which is about 1 meter on the Master Edition).
• Once triggered, the internal combustion engine shuts down, the suspension rises to its highest position, windows close, the HVAC switches to recirculation, and the sunroof opens to provide an emergency exit.
• Then the vehicle uses its four independent electric motors to rotate the wheels like paddles, which allows it to steer, and could make even 360-degree tank turns, and move forward at speeds up to 3 km/h (1.8 mph).
• The floating mode is strictly designed for short-term survival (up to 30 minutes in calm water only). BYD requires an official dealer/service inspection afterward to prevent water damage.

However whenever this car gets in flood, the owner is advised to take it for a full service inspection.


What do you think about this car? Do you think the 30 minutes time frame to navigate such emergency flood is enough? And the compulsory inspection after it come out of emergency flood mode, are these reasonable innovations?

There’s this 500 Va inverter pack, just buy one 600 watt panel join and you’re good

Please don’t be offended with my question, do you personally use this solar equipment , and if yes , how long have you been using it. And what’s the brand and how much does it cost.? And I will be glad if you can give a review of how you use it to determine its level of reliability.

IsaKielEnergy:
You will need solar panels to charge a battery bank, and an inverter to power the appliances.

The reason I would advise you to focus on getting the biggest good-quality battery bank you can afford is because the sun is not always reliable. During cloudy or rainy days, the panels may not produce enough power, but the battery will keep you going. A lot of people concentrate on buying large panels but later discover that the battery cannot carry them through the night or through days with little sunlight. In your case though, with almost no NEPA, you also need enough panels to refill the battery every day, because they are your only way of charging it.

I don't know your budget or how many hours you intend to use the fan and laptop each day, but I would suggest looking at something around 1,000Wh, preferably with a lithium or LiFePO4 battery. A laptop and a standing fan for a full working day can use close to 1kWh, so a 500Wh battery will only cover part of the day unless you use a small DC fan. For panels, I would go for about 400W–600W rather than 200W, and expand later if necessary.

If you are installing a fixed system, the panels can be mounted on the roof so they are out of the way and can be expanded later. Just make sure the panels, charge controller, battery and inverter are properly matched. Don't install more panels than the charge controller can handle because the controller and inverter have limits.

For this type of use, I would avoid cheap car batteries and unbranded inverters. A good portable power station may even be easier and safer if you want something simple. The final size will depend on your budget and how many hours per day you want to run the fan and charge the laptop.

Thank you for this exhaustive contribution. I will be waiting to read more contributions from others.

Bro is remote still paying and which niche,just having some decline on starting it, because I find it no longer lucrative

From my personal experience back in the days when Fiverr and Upwork newly came, I wouldn’t say it was that really lucrative. This is due to one factor that was difficult to beat- anbili to secure steady order to your service offering.

Back in the days, we used to pay some guys to do what we called “gig ranking” on Fiverr, for Upwork, it used to be profile optimization, in order to get organic orders.

I left the scene when I became busy with my second degree. And now that I am getting back in the ecosystem, I am doing that in a more substantial capacity.

And I believe if I position myself well, with guide from existing players in the game, I will go far.

And I feel currently the pain point in remote role hasnt changed. It’s still the order dearth challenge.

Seems unlike in the past where barrier was basic in remote work environment probably due to less technological advancement, anyone could make money by selling basic computer skills, now the barrier is way higher, thus access is much harder.

Then you could sell basic graphics design for $5. You could sell Facebook keyword research for $80, and web content for $100, and you will receive orders. But those services are now easily accessible with just a click of a button on any free AI solution.

So, I feel this days to succeed in online remote roles, one needs to take a different path or approach to accessing rare capacity or distinct line of service tied to specific result. I am only giving it a try but I believe it will work as some people claim it’s working and I believe these days getting a good remote roles requires that one joins quality circle of people for job networking.

But they said they are parking money in America and Canada. What happened that he can’t afford to refund. The loss in question I am not sure if it can be more than 50million. SMH

Have been working towards setting up my career on remote roles. But my location has serious electricity challenge. We have less than 30 minutes in two months. I need pure and honest recommendation on what solar power to buy. I intend using it to power the following:

Small fan,
One phone (iPhone ) and a
Laptop (Apple)

Please don’t come with AI recommendations. I want real human contribution.

I’m not looking for industrial solar equipment. Something affordable , reliable and quality based on your personal use experience.

Thank you.

Good for him. Is he still under Olamide record label or now on how own?

DHS said the publication was part of the government’s wider immigration enforcement campaign, with ICE responsible for carrying out arrests across the country.

The announcement comes amid continued efforts by the US administration to remove non-citizens considered priorities for immigration enforcement.

However, the DHS announcement does not provide detailed information about the final immigration status or deportation proceedings of each individual. Being named on the list should therefore not, by itself, be taken as confirmation that a person has already been deported.

But most Nigerians in diaspora always claiming theres money in abroad. America this Canada that, so why do we have so many cases of fraud?

This only shows to me that making it in America or any of these popular first world countries is more difficult than in third world countries.

God bless you sir for taking out your time to write this

You're welcome. After I got the full text of the National Mental Health Act 2021, I found that parts of my earlier comment were wrong, so please use this instead:

1. Section 41 lets a police officer above the rank of Inspector, or a Social Welfare officer, remove a dangerous person to a place of safety for up to 48 hours. It is not the section for applying for admission.
2. Applying for admission is under section 28. Parents come first, then the spouse. Another relative can apply only if they are unavailable or unwilling, and must explain why.
3. Two independent doctors must examine him and complete Form A. The facility must be accredited, and the Mental Health Assessment Committee reviews the admission.

4. Section 22 gives the patient (not the family) a right to free legal assistance if he can't afford a lawyer. The Mental Health Fund also doesn't promise to pay for individual treatment.

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112 first and get your parents to safety. A full breakdown is here: https://ojocorporate.medium.com/how-families-can-seek-help-for-a-violent-relative-under-the-national-mental-health-act-2021-a2390ee01ab4

Please speak to a lawyer before filing anything. Sorry for the earlier errors.

Start from here since you say your family is not financially buoyant.

First locate any police officer that’s above the rank of an inspector or a staff of the Social Welfare Department of the Government ( I will recommend the later, police officer may be demanding for money). Explain everything to the person stating that your brother is living with serious mental health condition. And you don’t have any means to help him and that his condition is threatening the lives of other family members and neighbours.

Don’t include that you have been beating him please. Section 41 of the National Mental Health Act 2021 specifically authorizes these persons to make an application of involuntarily admission on victims behalf.

To locate the Social Welfare officer in your state, ask around they are usually at the Federal Ministry of Health, since the Act is a Federal legislation.

You can hold a copy of the law and show the person and plead with him or her to help you. It doesn’t cost him anything. I will suggest you approach a female. They could show more empathy and be quick to respond.

If your application for involuntary admission is granted, your brother will be admitted for 28 days and if they notice (medical officer who usually are empowered to make the recommendation) or you notice his situation is not improved, you have to make another application for extension to the mental health assessment committee before the expiration of the 28 days. The chairman of that committee is often a lawyer. You can find out about him at the hospital if you can contact him directly, he may assist you.

The Act guideline on how to prepare the application and what grounds it must contain can be found in Section 28( 3) (4) of the Act. Summary of these provisions: the application must show its for the best interest of your brother who is the person with a mental health condition. So don’t go about hating on him in your application. Otherwise the application won’t be granted.

Regarding the beating, it’s actually a criminal offence punishable under the National Mental Health Act to torture, cage , administer forced treatment, seclusion or discriminate someone suffering from mental illness.

Part II of the Act contains a very long list of the fundamental rights of mentally ill individuals. And as a matter of fact, a mentally ill person has the same fundamental right as a fellow sane citizen. So, be guided accordingly.

To help the Social Welfare officer navigate his work, the right department to approach at the federal medical center is the Department of Psychological Medicine / Psychiatry at Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH), Aba. It’s where the officer can address his letter to apply for involuntary admission for your mentally ill brother.

Section 1(c) of the Act makes provision for the “mental health fund” probably that’s where the money for your brother treatment will be drawn from.

If your brother is ever going to need a lawyer, and since you don’t have money, Section 22 provides for legal representation to a mentally ill individual and in fact where in your case your family cannot afford the service of a legal practitioner that section makes it mandatory that the state must provide one for you.

If you want to make this process seamless, you can find any lawyer in your community and plead with him to help you navigate the process. You can show him my comment. It will safe him cost of research time. If he’s busy, you can ask him to refer you to the NBA probono team. And whoever they assign to you, show him this my comment. You can copy it to your phones notepad.

I wish you the best of luck.

Anytime I watch this video, I get emotional and try to imagine what they were feeling when the plane was losing altitude. Damn! Aircraft crash is one of worst ways to die.

I was once in their shoes. It was a road accident. The turbulence was in active progress- I mean I real time head on collision both cars on their topmost speed. Our car was already summersaulting. Passengers including myself were flying across the car in random directions…

At that point, I wasn’t noticing anyone. It was just me and a really calm voice of me I could hear so clear asking me if that’s how I was going to die. Omo!

I gave up since there was nothing I could do. I was only expecting that impact to hit and I would be gone.

Instead of the impact, the storm all of a sudden came down. Our car had miraculously stopped by the road side, not on the main expressway. I was the first to jump out. The rare of the car had ripped off that’s where I came out through. I came out about 5 minutes I didn’t believe i was alive.

I doubted my existence for the first time. I believe that would have been their experience too. Only difference is, the impact they expected finally came and their light went off.

Seems she posted an apology about 2 weeks ago admitting she published callous statement against Mrs Okoya. E be like say the later no gree. Wahala wear koko shoe.

helinues:
Dangote is a name, it's when you add products they are producing it becomes company

Or Aliko Dangote is no longer a Nigerian?

Theres no ambiguity in the point made. Flowing from the context of his statements so far, he’s been focusing on the general masses. So, logically, he’s not referring to a company, but private individual person.

Have not escaped poverty. But I’m beginning to feel life is spiritual. And making it requires one to take one’s spiritual life seriously. I know many of my mates that have less skill sets than I have that are doing extremely well. Honestly, it hasnt really been easy pushing through in such ridiculous realisation…

Dotherightthing:
No sir. It can't be a fraud. It will be strictly BVN based. Very easy.

Even now, debtors are being hounded using the BVN.

If you are flagged all your accounts will be frozen.

FG is currently collecting all the loans they gave people during Buhari era. Thanks to BVN.

He’s the one that raised the issue of fraud. You should have asked him to argue his claim. Not your duty to do that for him.

helinues:
Yes he has only one vote but there are exception for people like him in any country. Dangote's tax package is different from others

Dangote is a company. He’s talking about private individuals citizens

WatchYourSix:
Dey talk nonsense …. U sure say you watch the programme

Demon possess person dey scream incoherent demonic shiit…this one say na i am at anger…

Na so Una change normal kuli kuli wey we don know since childhood to cool it cool it….

Make Una no vex me ooooo

He or she is right. It’s “I am at anger”.
Ishawuru himself said it in one of his interviews when he was asked to tell the meaning of “Aya ma tanga”… he said the gibberish was formulated from plain English “I am at anger”

GeneralOuki:
The person you replied to is a well known Yorubas tribalist on NL, his comment is a reverse bigotry and it's a shame that you couldn't spot something so obvious

In that case we are both advocating similar course. Btw, not everyone follows NL users to that extent to know individuals pattern of behaviour on this platform. The message in his comment is not unusual of a typical average Nigerian is why I replied him that way.

Yes, both messages are the same but just that they were passed in different manner.

I keep maintaining that the only reason Nigeria is still backward is not the politicians ( their total number is not more than 20k); our major problem is the poor mentality held in the obligate of our people.

Take that away, i give this country less than a decade, foreigners will be flocking our country to experience the amazing transformation and growth of this country. The type that no nation in the world has ever seen or experienced before.

PDPdestroyer:
I smell tribalism at play here. Why will the Lagos State government ask anyone to report fake products I see say dem wan cripple the economy and mainstay of the SE but God pass dem sha

One of them spotted. This is one of the few problems that has been drawing Nigeria backwards for decades. Is either they use ethnicity card, if it doesn’t work, they use religion. Instead of him to look for legit business and switch from selling fake and harmful products, he’s technically advocating for it.

Nigeria is a lawless country with a bunch of imbeciles parading themselves as humans. Until Nigerians are ready to change their mindset, mediocrity will never stop operating. Imagine a country with a population of 220 million being mesmerised and having their lives destroyed with reckless abandon by fewer than 10,000 politicians. How this minority manages to get so powerful is a question that begs for an answer. All political parties in Nigeria consist of the same ugly and dangerous set of humans.

Gotocourt:
Poor maintenance, military wares are flying coffin ⚰️.

When everything about government roles and positions is premised on nepotism and favoritism. What do you expect. Shithole country.

A country that anything goes. May their soul rest in peace.
