So you mean if Eritrea's absence counts and FIFA dock points from bottom teams like Zimbabwe, our group will now become like this

Benin- 14-4= 10pts
Nigeria - 11-2= 9pts
South Africa - 14-6= 8pts

God too like Naija abeg. 😃

I doubt this is for determining who tops the group. Its for second place determination.

Jieta2:
Years back we use to do open screening to sort players for the under 17, i remember during the tenure of maigari that was how it was done, open screening come fight for shirt if you are eligible and we won the world cup back to back using that method but people who think they know all critisize that method, they say our best player are in academy now see where our academy players has led us to missing the under 17 world cup three time straight.

Open screening is better. The best talents are in secondary school or streets. How many young people have access to Academy?

NFF won't agree because open camping isn't cheap

CAF is an unserious organisation. How can 10 teams from a 16 format competion qualify for world cup the rubbish zonal competion.

This format is rubbish because rivalry between countries in the same zone may prevent the best from qualifying. In matches between rivals it's not all the time that the best team wins. Sometimes it's about grit and not quality.

TheSuperNerd:
Kwara Utd. So you could score 3 goals in Ghana but could not score 1 in Kwara... Na wa ooo.
Una well done. Kotoko coach don finish Kwara coach now.

So both Nigerian rep exit confederation cup while both proceed in champions league. The two in champions league will join their bros after next round.

Major Upgrade to My Solar Setup (20kW Hybrid System)

I just wrapped up a big upgrade to my solar system. It’s now a 20kW hybrid solar setup — built mainly on traditional off-grid components, but I also added some grid-tie functionality using Deye Micro Inverters in AC-coupled mode.

This project has been in the works for over a year, and there’s a lot going on under the hood beyond just the specs:

IoT & Control: Built a custom system computer using a Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module running Venus OS + Node-RED.

Smart Automation: Created several Node-RED flows to keep the system efficient. One cool one uses the Solcast weather forecast to predict tomorrow’s solar yield and automatically decide whether to allow grid input — and how much.

Monitoring & Dashboard: I switched to Grafana for visualization. The new dashboard gives a detailed view of performance and energy data.

I’m working on a detailed overview (with schematics) to explain how everything is connected. Hopefully, it will inspire anyone looking to build or upgrade their own setup.

👉 Live Dashboard:
https://helio.openculture.org.ng/public-dashboards/867d6afd562543508eaf080533e7b652

Impressive setup. The growth is massive. Few years ago, I guess you didn't believe you did generate and consume this much.

Is the automation still necessary with this much power?

He go soon write three pages of reply on top your head. Best is to ignore him. But even if you do, he'll still invent something lengthy in his head from nowhere and still drop.
He's like Thanos. He's inevitable.
The main guys in this forum have left and moved to telegram and tiktok. The joy is that he's not there. Let him remain here alone. The forum is his.

...due to lack of moderation.

It's unfortunate because this thread can easily be found through random search by anyone than the telegram group. Imagine finding this as a newbie, one person will then advice you to buy used panel of 300W, used standalone systems, bare aluminium wires, to mount your panels directly on roof, buy 100 tanks for storing water so you won't use your inverter to pump water for a year
Truly we see life through our own eyes.

Just like in naija politics, the obstinate and intolerant vocal ones intimidate and harass everyone, and proselytise their ideas. While the people who have what to offer disappear.

U av forgotten dt next year is deir election and so many are eyeing gusau sit within d board …Dey will use d not qualifying to campaign against him

I suspected it.

Philosopher1979:
You are funny. Wetin nff wan gain by sabotaging our world cup qualifying chances. I mean I think they will even have more chances to steal money. I mean qualifying for the world cup will get nff some money. I don't know much about football administration in nigeria as in I don't work for nff but that is my opinion. Qualifying for the world cup should be a good opportunity to make money for those officials and even if for selfish reasons, they will want us to qualify

When is the next NFF election?
If it's before the world cup, they won't care. In Nigeria, government no dey like to keep money for the incoming govt.

So long as allocation dem go collect allocation, dat one fit do them.

Demand and supply.

bassdow:
There really seems to be some (intentional) misUnderstandings here

I never said Bi-Facial solar panels are not worth it especially if you got the original ones. My argument was the figures they're quoting and all the unnecessary advantages they say without considering the what IFs.

Another is, you can't compare price on Receipt as total cost of a Bi-Facial solar panel compared to ordinary ones.
Because Bi-Facial solar panel must be mounted in a way that exposes the under surface to some extent, you need spend more on accessories and because at end of the day, if properly done well, you get to see any increase in output around 5% to maybe 15% (anything above 15% is just a temporary extra) best case scenario, you need bigger fuse and cables to account for such, then it's never CHEAPer.

Also not informing people about other nuances such as the extra weight, etc; are the things I tried to point OUT but they became DEFENSIVE.

Most times, when I say things, I need not turn Video creator or start going online to fetch supporting evidence BECAUSE they are things you can easily see around you.

Look around, most Bi-Facial solar panels are installed like ordinary Solar panel which defeats the purpose. Now you end up having unnecessary weight on your roof, for no extra gain.

Now one might say, it's still same size of fuse, cables, and mounting accessories they use for Bi-Facial, THEN I WOULD TELL YOU it's only because you installed them wrongly that enabled you to use same things like ordinary Solar panel.

The group / thread ought be avenue to share ideas and learn ways to keep costs low BUT a few cabals have turned it to something else.

And they keep counting on the fact most people wouldn't want to appear immature and childish hence they keep doing their thing brazenly.

Unfortunately, me no really care. Dem don quiet thinking say I go stop BUT as I still never wan do as anticipated, one of them kukuma tell me say make I keep Quiet.

I've observed that you have knack for obsolete technology and ways of doing things.

1) It's wrong to mount panel directly on roof, without adequate space underneath for ventilation. So your point on extra mounting gears is null and void

2) you wrongly assumed it will require thicker wire and bigger fuse without doing the calculations to ascertain the wire size it will need. I showed you that wire size will be same for same size of nominal panel wattage. You also wrongly assumed that higher current fuse is costlier than equivalent lower current fuse or breaker.

3) whenever you see superior argument, your first line of defence is emotional attack: you claim those oppose to your ideas are vendors or pretend not to be committed to the cause of this thread, pretending to be "cruise-catcher".

5) when you talk of weight, do you have record of any roof that has collapsed because of bifacial panel weight?

Just as everything in life, there will always be for/against any technology: lithium vs lead/acid, mono vs poly panels, bifacial vs monofacial, copper vs aluminium wire etc. The superior technology will always win overall.

bassdow:
That 30% is often very rare and requires utmost optimum conditions. It's mostly theory BUT a customer is after real world values. A more realistic figure ought be around 5% to 15% best case scenario. Anything extra is just extra and should be seen as temporary.

Major issue is, a lot of people have their bi-Facial solar panels installed just like regular Solar panels. Doing that is just unnecessary waste of resources.

For those saying it's cheaper or same price as single faced Solar panel, na Lie Ooo. Even if dem subsidize the price on the receipt (to encourage more people to buy them), there are other costs and trade-offs.

For potential buyers, except you willing to meet the minimum requirements, you better off increasing your panel count, except of course space is an issue. A lot of roofs (if considering the roof) these days are not really that strong + how many of us even have reflective roofs (actually it must not be reflective) + for safety reasons, you need account for thicker cables, fuses, etc; + ...

Your response sounds like google search response I got. But still I see no tradeoff.

Wire size: same for both to meet 2% voltage drop. Current carrying capacity for both falls within current carrying capacity for 2.5mm2 wire. The extra requirement of voltage drop may require using 4mm2 or more depending on the distance and the calculation will be similar for both.

Fuse/breaker: same price and reason is same as above. The protection is for the wire and should be below maximum series fuse specified for the panel.

Roof: In Nigeria, our roof truss is design to distribute load to larger area. The difference in weight is within 1-5kg per panel and that's not much to give much difference. The extra load should be beneficial in my opinion.

Cost: Fouani shows both to be at par.

Durability: bifacial win. Extra glass layer gives it more load bearing capacity to withstand storm.

Need for Reflective roof: Positive feedback and comparative data from users suggest that there's still little gain even when placed directly on roof. Even if there was to be no gain, the extra rigidity from the double panel glass is added advantage for same cost.

September
Les vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Nig (in SA)

October
Zim vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Rwa(in SA)
so the last time SA traveled out of their region to play worldcup qualifiers was in June🤣🤣🤣….omo see flexing and soft life naaaa🤣….let say SA was rooted to the bottom of this group in June with like 4 or 5points, walai this 4 home advantage matches should be enough to bounce them to the top or second with a possibility of 10 or 12pts

all i can say is NA WA OOOOOOOO

Only 3 away games realistically.
Loss, Draw and Win against Rwanda, Nigeria and Benin respectively.

Goke7:
But it was agreed here that we played rubbish in the AFCON, or were we that good? cos if I remember very well, that's why we chased Paseiro away, that our players were too good and world-class to be playing haram football. We need to put things in proper perspective, cos am one of those who still feel we ruined it all with the poor management of the Afcon success. Some tactics worked well for us that we just needed to build upon, but hey, we threw everything away in arrogance.

Blame goes to:
NFF
The mathematician and 94set

The were the ones that said it's not our style and that we have world class players that any coach can succeed with. And that our Nigerian coaches can do it better. Once any coach succeed, they will come out to say it's because we have array of stars at our disposal. They did it to Keshi after AFCON, Rhor at his prime and Peseiro after AFCON.
During time of struggle they will enter their shell only to resurface after a breakthrough.

Odunayaw:
Remo is meeting Mamelodi Sundowns next😣

This their format no good at all.

WizardOfNG:
When they start scaremongering to this ludicrous extent, then you know the born-to-rule Northern supremacists and hegemonists, the very same people keeping their people in illiteracy and hideous backwardness, are desperate to see the back of Jagaban.

Meaning he is leading well for Nigeria and Nigerians and not those who want Nigeria's wealth for themselves, their family and affiliates alone to then throw crumbs at almajiris.

All the scaremongering rhetoric is in vain and has failed already. The Northern-hegemonists are only frustrated and agitated because an independent-minded Southerner is in power and not a Northerner or Southern stooge they can use as boy boy like GEJ or Obi.

This your message makes sense but the ending spoil am. Obi cannot be a stooge.
If it is not Obi we must continue with Jagaban.

1) Mostly, we don't clean sensors in Nigeria. We don't bother about check engine light. There are over 7 sensors for the engine alone. When they are dirty, they give wrong information to the ECU which uses these information to alter the fuel mix ratio. Mostly Mass Airflow sensor, 02 sensor, Manifold absolute pressure sensor, PVC valve, crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, throttle position sensor, coolant temperature sensor, etc
The bolded directly affect fuel consumption. Others affect it indirectly.
Often the parts replaced are not of the same part number. Using a different part number will cause the calibration not to match.
2) Worn out parts and Use of wrong engine oil, wrong coolant, poor quality spark plugs, defective injector coil, bad torque converter.
3) Driving continuously in low gear ratio
4) Using different tire size as against manufacturer's recommended in a bid to make the car higher.

nwirinedu:
But they said it was Lagos to Calabar, why is it digressing to Ondo?
Do you pass through Ondo when going to Calabar from Lagos?

Another scam uncovered?

Ondo is a coastal state. Go and check map.

ironheart:
Dont forget soome state who did repairs on federal roads took years to recover there money back from the federal government. I just wish all roads in Nigeria can be handed over to each state

All existing road should go to states while FG do new roads, mostly trans-regional.

stuffs2002:
Did anyone stop you or your governor from building seaports?
So Nigeria should stop building roads and be building seaports in every village?

Don't mind them. The states can build airport so the governors can fly but when it comes to seaport, FG is not allowing them.

According to this article, Zimbabwe has agreed to host RSA in Durban. If true, it means a win might have also been negotiated.

Benin should win Rwanda and negotiate with us.

bassdow:
Bi-Facial solar panels are known to produce higher than regular solar panels though that number (based on online research) is less than 35% best scenario.

if a 350w non Bi-facial panel produces about 10a, a Bi-facial would give slightly higher than 12a best scenario at same voltage of course. The increase occurs on the Current, not Voltage and yea, speaking from experience.

Left to me, if space ain't an issue, I rather just go half cut and more panels BUT under ideal conditions, Bi-facial solar panels have an edge but...

So what wire size and what fuse size would you in each case? What would be the cost difference between the two?

bassdow:
The things you just said are what I have been saying which they keep on evading. The extra costs go way beyond the numbers on purchase receipt for individual panels. One needs consider installation kits which differs from normal installation kits. I could even hang without installation KITs but can't do same for Bi-Facial solar panels.

What about fuses and cables, one got to factor in those also. Abi na the extra weight especially since nowAdays, most people are after spending more on expensive roofing sheets, than on the wood that holds same roof. Let's pretend to ignore other more technical specs.

Most Bi-facial solar panels you see installed, are rarely installed in the proper way; rather they install them just like regular Solar panels.

For the person who said He had to replace his BiFacial with regular solar panel, without changing accessories or cables, it's probably because it wasn't properly installed to begin with. For instance, all things equal, a 300watts Mono solar panel SHOULD NOT use same fuse or cable size as a 300watts Bi-facial solar panel

How many of them even use fuses sef. what they mostly do is just use a single circuit breaker and that's it.

when una meet una clients, una fit dey preach Heaven in Nigeria for them BUT in here, make we talk as weWe

Hmmm...
Explain the bolded. Stating fuse size in current that should be used in each case, assume Vmp of 30V and Voc of 35V.

QueenJazz:
It's the confidence for me sha, lol. Like I understand that anything is possible in football. But omo I'm not holding my breath to expect Bafana to lose or even draw to this freaking Zimbabwe squad, even with the matter on ground. Rwanda is the only team I can rely on because they've done the job before and conquered Bafana. And even then, I don't really know.

Omo, I don too give myself hope for this WCQ. Month after month after month. We keep finding hope and losing it almost immediately.

I also hope we're not writing off Benin. Infact, with the current situation, those boys will be out looking for blood when they come visiting in October. I just hope Chelle is prepared.

If the point is deducted, any of the 4 teams can qualify, possibility. The odds is in this order:
RSA>Benin>Nigeria>Rwanda.

So we should not bother ourselves with what other teams play. We should focus in ours and hope it happens. We have been in this situation before: if I'm right 2002, 2006 and 2010. In one we won away from home against Kenya while the other team lost or drew at home and we overtook them. In the other, we needed to win at home but drew Angola in the last match.

Anything can happen. It's not over but it's not in our hands now

lovewins:
Or better outcome.

They lose to Zimbabwe/Rwanda. That way we can still qualify as top of the group.

Win your own first and worry less about what happens to others.

Love800:
Why will one crawl?

Smoke, which is toxic, is heavier than air. It concentrate at the top while air which contains oxygen stays beneath it at the ground level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1tV6o7h0Rg?si=pENrXyxvuuw_MZes

This video summarises how traumatized we were in 2006. Everything was wrong.
1) Our stars choosing match to play.
2) more than one coach during the qualifier.
3) ineptitude of NFF and Ignorance of rule by NFF.

Same ignorance of rule cqsu do us to miss 2012 Nations cup. How a football body that want to participate in a tournament doesn't know the rules is baffling.

I bet NFF doesn't know that they had the power to protest the Bloemfontein stadium in last match. I can bet too they didn't inspect the stadium before hand.

2026! We are there again. No lessons learnt.

SmartPolician:
How can a grown man or woman watch fire kill him or did he try to jump and die in the process?

Any ways, RIP to the dead and the good Lord console the bereaved, amen.

Hmmm. You're uninformed because you don't read or misinformed because you read.

In such disaster, smoke kills, not necessarily fire. Not everyone know they are suppose to crawl and not walk. Sometimes fear can make one take wrong decision.

elyte89:
From ur last option FIFA HAS two options …to do the right thing and deduct d points


Or Damn it and soil their reputation


Infact dt Nigerian 🇳🇬 case osasu highlighted is what is given FIFA headache 🤕,cos it’s d same thing (same way Algeria 🇩🇿 didn’t protest, it’s d same way Lesotho 🇱🇸 too didn’t protest and Dey acted INDEPENDENTLY to dock the points .so no hiding place for dem to do OJORO 🤣🤣🤣

That point will only be deducted when it's clear it won't have impact on RSA's qualification.

emmanuelewumi:
Who are the owners of the other refineries in Nigeria? I don't answer funny questions. A google search will tell you the other refineries we have in Nigeria

Who are those who got license to build refineries, 20 years ago but never did anything.

I even made the mistake of investing in their private placement offer in 2005

They thought subsidy would continue forever so they can continue to shortchange government in overinflated subsidy payment.

Let him check the fuel consumption now vs the subsidy era.

aribisala0:
That was not the question and I am not here to play games

Who else is competing with Dangote in crude oil refinery business. Who are the competitors in that specific business hopefully that is illuminating for you as to my line of question

@emmanuelewumi answered you correctly.
65% choose to import when they can set up refinery here too. Exporting our employment.

They being 65% should be the market leaderband should this dictate the price (and not complain about the price of a non market leader). NNPCL is one of the names you're looking for. You can ask any AI to help you with the other names

Those 65% are economic saboteurs.

Kog45:
All teams in the group awarded 6 points?I no understand bro

Ok bro. In that same group,FIFA awarded 3pts for matches that a team didn't play due to FIFA suspension (government interference). Who says same cannot be applied to a team that withdrew.

1) they can equalise the groups by awarding point for matches unplayedvij that group or by discounting points in the rest of the group.
2) ignore the group as it is and no team from that group make it to playoff.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
I just read somewhere that FIFA hav awarded 3 point the people 1 country left their group

No official communication on this yet.

This is also a possibility. All teams in the group awarded 6 points. But this is unfair to other groups. If matches were played no guarantee they would have won both leg.
