Nobody absolutely nobody or entity in Nigeria has been spared from Buhari's poor leadership , anyone that says his standard of life is generally better under Buhari than under Jonathan is a liar and a thief or lowlife sectarianist

Bro, whichever you view it, even if this were hell, there are folks who opine that the present government's performance has been "splendid", like this was all that the much hyped change could possibly only amount to.

Lalasticlala ain't moved by this. He is highly enthusiastic and desirous of the snakes like the one below......

You don't dey madt abi ?

So Lala is now a snake man?

Hello guys, please I need help. I tried to order the xiaomi redmi 4x yesterday but upon payment I was told that my transaction limit is exceeded, but this was my first time of ordering something online. I used a UBA MasterCard and the total cost was $176. Please how do I go about it? Thanks

I think there is a $100 or so limit per month.

Is it legally mandated for NCC or FG to delve into such matter? Its at there own discretion if need be. They happen to be a third party in the agrrement and there say won't hold except they ready to bail out at will.

They re not mandated to bail-out

True, but if you know what positive changes they brought into the industry, you will it's worth it.

Sad. A bad omen for Nigerias most innovative network and the citizens alike.

Sad, they have really come a long way, giving the likes of mtn sleepless nights since their entry.

The people always seem destined to lose, as in most things how it affects the country in general is never really considered.

Pls guys, who knows how to stop that annoying female voice that speaks about notifications anytime earpiece is connected, seem like a google app?

Misplaced priorities. Nothing matters more than what region the president comes.

If a more robust candidate comes from another region, what is wrong in backing him up?

So many customizations are missing unlike miui 7

Wondering what those stuck with 8 should then do?

Exactly! Our system is so porous. More Evanses are certainly coming up and the kind of carefree system that we run is enough reason for them that they won't be caught so easily.

Meanwhile, if you guys crave front-page so much (which is just for about 24hrs anyway), I may put in an application for it.

Not necessary bro. The product is already marketing itself and if care is not taken the thread that is already too fast will get all sorts of junk posts that will make it further "bloated".

GrandMufti:
Miui 8 na rubbish

Hmm, why say so sir?

Addicted2Women:
Buhari

Abeg, na God I use beg you. Make you no let me get bad dream with this your Buhari picture!

Originalsly:
Hmmm....let me chew this one. Sent to settle a land dispute.... stopped along the way to rescue man from thugs... Inspector instructed both officers to take victim to car (while he remains with the thugs). Question....if they stumbled upon the scene... shouldn't the car be right there? How can he be kidnapped in the presence of the other two officers? Did the chief send the thugs to stage a scene and kill the inspector?...then why spare the witnessing two officers? Did the thugs decide to kill the Inspector?...then why tie him up and bury him?...they had time to burn? I see no reason why the Chief and the two officers are not in custody. No doubt, the N2m refused by the family was accepted by someone else to disrupt any investigations.

Such stories from official quarters in Nigeria usually are known not to add up, though people have many a time been dump enough to accept them as truth.

The country is in a mess. Another sad part of it is: things dont seem to be getting any better.

So FG wants us to believe they are helpless on this?

Congrats to government of falsehood and her blind supporters.

Raymonbell:
Another issue
While trying to join the night crawler team yesterday and after receiving a confirmation that my appeal was successful I got another appeal.
Abeg what have I done wrong?

Waiting for up to 24hours after appeal is accepted will help their system to fully update the new info, and aid prevent re-occurence.`.

Dem don ban me prophet. dem no reach. Ha ha ha.

I was away because i need to listen to some cool music on my phone with my Langsdom M400, Geez, i can hear every sound loud and clear. I didn't know wen i got carried away and queue up countless song. If u have never use a real phone and a real earphones, u are on a long long thing

Abeg you fit drop the purchase link and price of that earphone, person fit want check am out.

That limb held by the arm with red gloves looks like that of a cow.

Dead Human being's body now sounds good to compare with cow's?

The incidence rather calls for sober reflection.

Only a mumu would think that APC is different from PDP.

Truth!

According to a report by Micheal,Sgt Helen Sunday,orderly attached to Enugu state deputy governor was shot dead by unknown gunmen after she was dropped by close to her house.Below is what Micheal wrote...

'Painfull dead, Sgt Helen Sunday, Orderly to Enugu State duputy govornor, was shot by unknown gun men at transekulu Enugu after dia convoy motor drop ha very close to ha resident after coming back from work, Ohh may ha soul RIP'

Typical of Nigerian politicians, I wouldnt be surprised the governor and his deputy may just not be bothered but will carry on like nothing happened afterall it is nothing new to hear that someone died not related to them died. Things are only getting messier!

sathob:
Well, great people, I think I should start this on behalf of George_D because of the request made by others who have expressed interest in alternate electricity, especially solar energy. Our independence is not complete if we are to suffer frequent power outages and been dependant on the nation’s electricity grid system always. I have read in this house many times, from members “PHCN don go off, so I will track later when they come back”. No one can run away from power outages in the main electricity grid – not even the west, it happens. Hence, we all should have alternate electricity and using renewable energy is, to me, the best. This means one can enjoy their independence fully by being totally free and not “dom” (dominated).

Look at some advantages
•Lower or no electricity bills
•Compared to generator users, there is no fuel cost and stress of getting it and no fumes.
•People living in the remote locations where power is unavailable or too expensive to hook-up too can have electricity.
Just to mention but a few.

Without going into detail, one can enjoy electricity by means of using solar energy (energy from the sun), wind mill (using energy from the wind). Don’t forget, where there is frequent electricity supply from the utility company, you can store some energy for back up.

You will need the following to complete a solar project or back up.

1. Solar panels
2. Power Inverter
3. Charge controller
4. Batteries to store energy
5. wires and cables
6. Monitors/meters

The solar panel consists of cells called photo voltaic cells and these, covert the energy received from the sun to electricity in simple terms (this electricity is a direct current d.c). The panels can last up to 20 years plus. The panels can be fixed, adjustable or of the tracking type. You can decide to go for a complete panel from manufacturers (already made) or build panels by yourself using solar cells- the latter is for the hobbyist. The panels are rated in watts eg 80w solar panel supplying 12v continuous at a given time

The inverter
Power Inverters are available in 3 basic designs, two of which I remember very well now – the one that out sinusoidal waves and those that are modified sign wave type (meaning not pure sine waves and do have limits when it comes to its application) . The power inverter converts your storage battery power into the 240 volts AC that runs your appliances. It is the heart of your solar energy system. Unless you only run 12 volt DC appliances you will need a power inverter to supply your AC. This is just the basics.

The Charge Controller
A Charge Controller is necessary to protect the batteries from over charging and supply them with the proper amount of energy to promote long battery life.

Batteries
Without Storage Batteries to store energy you would only have power when the sun was shining. There is a lot more to batteries than just the ordinary car battery. Yo may need to change batteries over the years.

Wires and Cables
Without the right size of cables, you are likely to experience inefficient transfer of power (greater losses) and overheating.

Meters
This is required to monitor the performance of your solar system.

Firstly, it is very necessary to know what gadgets you will be using (eg. tv, sat. receiver) and how long you will use them on solar power and how much energy your battery can store and which solar panel (rating in power) will supply the required energy to be stored or used.

A lot goes into calculating the cost of setting up a solar system. First one has to consider the period of usable sunlight available at their location to do this calculation. For us here close to the equator, we get about 7 to 8 hours or more of sunlight during dry season, just a rough estimate.

How do I know I need 100w or 80w or 300 watts solar panel for my project?

The power consumption of appliances is given in Watts. To calculate the energy you will use over time, just multiply the power consumption by the hours of usage.

Eg. If I have 90W tv set which I want to use for 6hrs, 25W satellite receiver for the same period, and a 50W fan for 3 hours. What will be the energy required from the solar panels for the period?

1. the energy for each appliance is Watts x time (hours) = Wh

So, the watt hours for the tv = 90 x 6 = 540 Wh (watt hours)

Watt hours for sat. receiver = 25 x 6 = 150 Wh

Watt hours for fan will be = 50 x 3 = 150 Wh         

2. sum the watt hours for the individual appliances ie. 540 + 150 + 150 = 840 Wh (watt hours)

This means that the solar panel will need to supply 840 watt hours of energy to the battery each day to cover the total power required by these appliances.

3. since there are bound to be losses in the system However, to account for natural losses, we multiply the result by 1.2 (this factor allows for natural system losses, assuming 85% efficiency). Therefore, we will assume the panels will actually need to be able to supply a total of
840 x 1.2 = 1008Wh

4. so, to supply 1008Wh of energy the panel we assume to receive 7 hours of sunlight will be rated at 1008  Wh /  7 h =  144W
So, I will need 144W solar panel to supply energy to my appliances above at the given time.

Regarding point 3, it also means, if I have a solar panel rated at 100W receiving sunlight for 7 hours a day, the total energy supplied considering 85% efficiency will be 100x7x0.85= 595Wh and not 700Wh

5. Your battery should be able to store 1008Wh of energy. Since batteries capacities are rated in Ah (Ampere Hours) you need to multiply Ah by the Volt rating to know the Watt Hour.  Power(W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I)  ; Watt hour = VxIxHour

Therefore Ah (which is I x h) = Wh / V = 1008 / 12 (the number 12 represents a 12v battery)   
= 84 Ah

So it means you will need not less than a 84Ah, 12V battery (deep-cycle batteries, not ordinary car batteries) to do the job.

NB. Another way of calculating battery capacity is explained in this example. Should my battery be rated at 84Ah, 12V the watt hour (energy) will be 84Ah x 12 V = 1008Ah

It implies that the battery can supply a 150watt appliance for 1008/70 = 14hours

Pls don’t just play around with batteries they are dangerous.

Indepth knowledge on display! Sad you aint no more?

BluePearls:
abeg UBA guys, I dey wait una response.

Go for UBA Africard. You'll have to try ur luck 12am - 12.05am to buy with it though.

Abeg has anyone changed imei on snapdragon here? Airtel bb plan don spoil me already

Almost impossible, but easy with mtk.

noobody:
Black avail on et stores right now,processing time takes 15 days thou

Black RN4X SD 64GB Version you mean?

princetom1:
Nope, it's snapdragon and yes, it's 32gb rom

E be like the SD 64GB ROM variant na still long thing?

Dam5reey:
Don't think so... Seems all rates aside CBN interbank are close now..

Abeg, e follow affect UBA?

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
LOL you never make any sense with your comment, What was his offense? was it because he did not allow your master to steal money and give you peanuts anymore?

Who is "your master"?

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
Killed how if i may ask? If you are refering to when he was in Military then he was in line of his duty and ojukwu is also guilty of that..


So if not then tell us.. Buhari remain one of the most honest man in Nigeria today even your GEJ testify to it..

You are hating on Buhari because he is from the North and have been fortunate to achieve what none of your generation can achieve, But your hatred will not change the fact that he is God chosen..

The people are disillusioned, disenchanted, and disappointed in the old man Buhari, not because of the lame excuse that he comes from the North, but simply because he is not only proving to be incapable just like his predecessor GEJ, but also his moves so far and promises made all seem to come to Naught!

obamabinladen:
ok

Those your pics eh!

neocortex:
Buhari is obviously sick but the hawks in aso rock will not
let him resign for their selfish purposes.
I am seeing a Yaradua scenario once again.

Yes my dear, Yaradua scenario can keep repeating itself afterall Nigerians arent in a "hurry" to get to the promised land, even if it takes more than another 40 years to get there!

Nigerians obviously are a bunch of unserious people and why bother? Things arent yet bad enough that a vibrant, healthy and sound mind should mount the saddle to lead us out of the mess we are. You can imagine that if not a grandfather in his 70's who should naturally be in retirement, no other Nigerian was considered equally fit to take over from Jonathan!

Nigerians obviously are a bunch of unserious people! Whatever those unprepared people in saddle through up by trial and errors or try and luck, the people are just okay with it, afterall it's an era of "change".

I pray I'm able to get the remaining $50 from UBA this night. I will order N4X from smartgo. I already pended one grey N4X @ $151. If I'm able to pay today I will buy the tempered glass from you

Pally, isn't this mtk and 32GB ROM?

One of Nigerias corruption big wigs, roaming free amid Buharis so called "anti-corruption" war. Evidence of how hopeless Nigerias case has been.
