House 1 Power load = 2000W Average of 20hrs/day gives 600 hours in a 30 day calendar month. Power consumption = 2kW * 600h = 1200kWh Cost of power consumed = ₦225 * 1200 = ₦270,000
House 2 Power load = 2000W Power is generated using a 2.5 kVA petrol generator. Running wattage is 2000W. Fuel efficiency = 1.1litres/hour (15 litres in 14 hours at 50% load - generator will consume more if we increase the load but let us stick with this for the purpose of this comparison) For House 2 to generate 600hrs in a month requires 660L of PMS. At ₦560/litre, House 2 will spend a sum of ₦369,600 in an attempt to replicate power supply from DISCOs. Maintenance cost has not been factored in these calculations.
A lot of small scale businesses spend up to ₦178,000 monthly running petrol generators.
Power is not cheap!
once you factor in economies of scale e.g. a 500-apartment estate, you will see why diesel is actual cheaper than PHCN
Lanre1st: World without Islam is blindness, backwardness, ignorance
Who told you Iran is protecting Islam interests? Go and read how IRCG was formed, it was a group backed by America to execute Iran revolution which served US interest. Now IRCG has shifted the alignment to Russia that is what is causing Issues. All these wars here and there are not about religion (get that to your ignorance skull) it an extension war of World Power Tussle between US/NATO and Russia with its allies. What Isreal is currently doing for US, Iran did more to fight US enemies. So Isreal should enjoying it while it last.
This is entirely false. The IRCG was formed as part of the Iranian revolution with an anti American and anti-Israel objective.
IRGC has always being designated as a terrorist organisation by the US from inception.
Saudi Arabia also considers the IRGC a terrorist organisation even though it is actually part of the iranian armed forces
aieromon: "Poor man" has never enjoyed electricity, they have only benefited from dirt cheap power. If you must enjoy, prepare to pay a premium cost.
Compare with NITEL and the GSM revolution.
my estate uses 198 NGN per Kwh with barely 4 hours of nepa and the remaining 20 hrs funded by diesel.
What this price regime has done is to make many communities and estates source for their power themselves via diesel or gas as they are both cheaper than the PHCN price.
helinues: Those who have been paying tithes for years without getting tithes refund, not even when they are not paying tax should ease on the government.
Isn't also time to question the tithes you have been paying for years?
I dont believe in the modern concept of tithing but tithes are not paid to seek returns
seunmsg: Exactly. There is no outrage anywhere. All the tweets I’ve seen about the attire are from Igbo handles trying to make an issue out of nothing. I barely saw two or three tweets complaining about the attire but I’ve seen over 1k tweets trying to defend whatever it is they are defending.
For the avoidance of doubt, there is no Yoruba person that is outraged by the attire. When next I’m going to London, I will fly Air Peace because it’s a Nigerian brand. Im completely cool with the attire. What matters is safety and a smooth flight to UK.
Bro it was crazy on instagram. A lot of misguided folks. Tribalism remains our biggest bane. i saw comments using IJN to pray the ariline crashes
They said they should wear an attire that encompasses three Nigerian tribes forgetting that there is no such traditional attire. AirPeace actually plans to rotate the materials across many african materials. You would see Adire and all sorts later even kente.
softtorce: How come Lagos is nowhere to be found on the list ?
Lagos actually tops that list but Nigeria considers state of origin to be the state one's father was from rather than the state one was born and has lived in.
A significant percentage of the south-west, south-east and south-south numbers there are Lagosians.
But then again, attending several ivy league educational institutions does NOT mean that some CEOs have the capacity to lead financial and non-financial corporate organizations.
We saw this in the lead up to the massive collapse of top U.S. banks such as Lehman Brothers and even the energy company Enron whose CEOs and other executives had MBAs from Harvard University and more.
The ability to manage men and resources is key in any organization while generating value for clients and a good ROI for the organization. Period.
she isnt a graduate of those ivy league. She only attended some courses.
I agree her resume is kinda strong but think her professional qualifications and experience (rather than academic) are the strongest part of her resume. most top management executives have done the Harvard AMP. She isn't a graduate of Harvard. her doctorate from Apollos University is a mushroom doctorate. I have assisted someone with a doctorate from this university and what the person did was equivalent to the rigor of running an online survey. Her LLM from Salford was the one via Robert Kennedy college (1 year online) which has very little admission entry barrier or rigor. Her first degree from Jos and MBA from Unical are the main academic part of her resume.
God1000: I don't support such retaliation but actions have consequences.
People should refrain from violent activities and senseless killing of others.
Meanwhile anybody supporting Israel to wipe out the entire people of Gaza doesn't have any right to criticize our military.
indeed. you cannot support Israel mass killings for the actions of a few thousands and still say Nigeria military should only exert proportionate revenge.
similar you cannot be pro-Palestine within the context of Israel's retaliation and be supporting Nigeria military to punish the entire community.
atiku4President: Wow. And the same man hated his brother who was his President and carried all kind of propaganda against GEJ. He channeled 99% of CBN developmental and corporate social responsibility projects to the North and his Northern brothers when he was CBN governor. Yet when he's in trouble, the Southerners will come to his rescue. Karma will keep haunting them one by one.
you people should realise that friendship and familial bonds are stronger than your ronu and ipob bonds
aswani: Have you listened to Asuẹn speak in Ishan?
A local politician is someone based in the state, living amongst the people and has been in local politics in one form or the other for a whle.
A local politician is not someone that was not a member of PDP three months ago or that comes to the state and leaves the same day on his private jet except during Campaigning.
Compare Akpakomezer, who isn't my choice anyway, to Asuẹn to know who is local and who is being parachuted into the state.
oh I now understand your definition of local politician.
It however has little bearing on ability to govern except he should also learn benin, igara, owan, and etsako
enambobo: What are you saying? Do we import petrol? It will only go up if petrol is imported. This is our own mineral resource and it has no business with dollar price. Hope you understand now?
people will stay stupid things on social media with a lot of confidence
OGHENAOGIE: and who says oshiomole as party man wont back him? Besides APC wants to win Edo state so they ll settle differences.. as far as Edo elections is concerned LP ll just come third... Obaseki is pulling weight for Ighodalo and u can' see how ruthless he has been with shiabu his deputy.. APC candidate is a senator and thorough politician so what's akpata antecedents... Apart from banking on LP popularity last president polls... LP doesn't have the cloat PDP APC has in Edo state
I have agreed with you already. Note that we both condition this on Oshiomole backing Akpakomiza
OGHENAOGIE: did u really type that akpata have chance than APC candidate.. u think this is president polls where pple were swayed by obi mania , APC is stronger as a party in Edo state and APC Guy is from Esanland akpata from Edo south as obaseki stand no chance plus LP is just a small Party that ll come Third..
If Oshiomhole does not back the APC guy then he would struggle with Edo north votes.
I agree though that I am overestimating LP. Their victory in presidential elections in Edo state was more due to Obi than an clout or grassroot LP has
Beolly: I thought they said they don't practice tribalism in Edo State, why should his inability to speak the language be an issue?? When Yoruba people said GRV can't speak the language some people said it's not necessary and tagged it tribalism.
So the LP candidate having a Yoruba name is also an issue? There are people from Akoko Edo who speak and bear Yoruba name. I hope when others do the same thing nobody would complain.
Those things don't matter in Edo. The guy is just canvassing for his APC candidate. Akpata has a stronger chance than the APC guy sef.
The advantage of the APC guy is Oshiomhole's stronghold in Etsako but that still depends on them quickly mending fences with Oshiomole.
Mynd44: Heathrow or Gatwick? Lets know so Nigeria can decide if will be applying policy of reciprocation and divert all BA flights to Ilorin, Akure, Asaba or Maiduguri
hehehe this guy.
una nor wan gree
It would be Gatwick most likely. I really hope it is Heathrow
Benwallt: Same you that was screaming hell when APC produced 3 candidates. We indeed get the leaders we deserved. When it happens in your team, let's cover it but when it happens in the other team, let's blow it
APC was quite different bro. APC executives and NWC and the electoral committee members disagreed. Thugs came to disrupt the primaries. Didnt you see why it was cancelled and rescheduled.
in PDP, there was no parallel primaries. Shuaibu just announced himself in his backyard. Dude is a comedian. All the other candidates, INEC, PDP NWC, PDP State executives, delegates were at Ogbe stadium. Shuaibu is looking for them to appease him but it seems he is now looked at with disdain and mockery by his boss.
aswani: He might be the best candidate to you because you are Esan and you think it's your turn.
He can tour all the wards he want, he isn't a bonafide PDP member, neither is he a local politician that us awarr of local issues.
He will be Ọbasẹki part 2.
has nothing to do with turn. I consider Akpata to be a better candidate than Rice Man. In fact I consider him better than the other candidates bar Asue. Edo isnt a stomach infrastructure state.
I listened to Asue's talks and it shocks me when you say he isnt aware of local issues.
What the hell does a local politician mean.
Obaseki is slow in execution but has made more strides than his predecessors in development. Brilliant ideas but slow execution is his bane. He is the first to pay higher than minimum wage and not owe civil servants or pensioners. My family in Agbede sings his praises for this alone
aswani: Esan have enough politicians that know the issues on ground. Even an Esan bus driver will be better at knowing the pain of the people than Ighodalo.
Obaseki part 2, chai.
all these paid hacks. The only aspirant to tour all the wards in Edo state to canvass, unify and negotiate naim you say Esan bus driver is better than. You guys know nothing about capacity. Just do your duty in peace.
Kavod: Could be now..... And i also think thats what the mainstream media would like to indicate.. you know why? it would annoy CHRISTIANS world wide and hence Condemnation of their evil agenda. Doctors without border thinks otherwise same with Al Jazeera. My own na say make them find HAMAS when bomb them then kill them, Make them leave the Kids alone . The same Isreal when de assassinate Most of the CHRISTIAN doctor when come abi another IDF de?
it is not main stream media. These are factual information. Hamas used to be associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and are fundamentalists.
read about the killing of Rami Ayyad
indeed! make dem leave innocent civilians focus on Hamas & Islamic Jihad (PIJ) forces
Kavod: OGA SHUT UP.... OLODO REPETE, YOU GO CU STILL NOR GET SENSE. MAJORITY OF GAZA POPULATION ARE CHRISTIANS . MUMU, YOU KNOW HOW LONG THEM DON DE CRUCIFY CHRISTIANS? WHT THEM NOR ENTER OTHER REGIONS WHEN THE REAL MOSLEMS DE? ONLY GAZA, OR YOU THINK SAY GAZA NA PALESTINE IN A WHOLE? THEM DE KILL KIDS AND WOMEN THE REAL HAMAS DE SYRIA, IRAN, LEBANON AND WELTHY ONES DE SAUDI.... DE PREACH YOUR IGNORANT GENOCIDAL GOSPEL UP AND DOWN.
The bolded is untrue. Persecution of Christians is Gaza led most Palestinian Christians to flee Gaza. Christians in Gaza today are less than 0.2%.
Righteousness2: The Largest Functioning terrorist Base you mean. Just 2 nights ago, the IDF found 40 Hamas terrorists in that Hospital after 4000 civilians were evacuated quietly during the day.
Dead bodies of Israelis abducted on Oct 7 were found in Nasser Hospital
Weapons, including explosives and mortars, are discovered on the hospital premises.
A rocket was launched from Nasser Hospital at IDF troops.
- Hamas maintains a command room, intelligence and interrogation complex, and a police station at Nasser Hospital, according to the IDF.
This is no longer a Hospital. It is a Major terrorist Base Quit the Propaganda of Terrorists!!
WATCH as a Hamas operative admits to israeli hostages being held and Hamas terrorists hiding behind civilians in Nasser Hospital
