₦airaland Forum

You guys do know there is a section on nairaland called politics, right?

Just saying

Papa and son de discuss and argue investments, make God give us grace to fit raise up our kids to get interest in matters that relate to investments o...

Khudos to you for following in the step... If you do not mind me asking, are all your siblings and mumsy also interested in things like this? What do you think he did that made you (guys) also interested in investment considering it is not a normal discussion on the street among every dick and harry.

shonyboi:
Not really sure if some of the aforementioned names fit his theory as you described. But he did mention that our Banking stocks are highly undervalued, his reason being, a foreigner with USD and the weak Naira can literally come and buy up our banks which he says should be avoided by all means(He said and I quote "when a stock is undervalued due to the manipulation that occurs, the people that value it will purchase and delist it...why should Dangote and Bua be trading at such values and Lafarge be like that?" . For Banks he loves his Zenith and GTB and has decided to increase his stake in UBA based on their last dividends. I follow him but we do not necessarily agree on everything . I love Access due to its low entry point but he doesn't.
He doesn't want anything to do with Oando even if he is offered for free (Although I have a few units in it for JIJO which I learnt from you guys)

lol... Oga street don put fear for your body abi

The rule of thumb is never to fall to the temptation of letting them access to private details about you. Always make public announcements like oga ema that you only respond to questions on nairaland threads. If the person claims that it is too private to discuss on a public forum, then they should quote you on a dead thread and you can respond.

Do these and you will most likely be fine.

@street, I may be wrong, but I doubt if people can use your IP to trace you. Most ISPs in Naija use dynamic IPs to allocate IP to users, so it makes little sense to start using IP to track. Even then, it will require sophisticated equipment, which I believe only DSS has a semblance of in Nigeria.

What I believe happened in your case is that you responded to a private message and then your email got exposed to the user, from there they used it to search for you on social media and then since you are a business man, your details are more likely to be easy to find from there.

The other alternative will be that since it was an old moniker, maybe in the early days you left when you were still innocent you left personnal details about yourself, eg phone number. These guys can be very patient and will take their time to go through your early messages and build a profile of your person.

Locotrader:
Please advice or ask your questions here addressing me.

Don't see my negligence to private messages as a let down.

I got 12 Dm yesterday.I don't know who is behind those monikers.

I may deactivate Locotrader account if it persists and it will be my end here.

A man's enemy are members of his households. From the story, it was even her own entitled brother who she had tried to help before that connived with her ex husband to harm her.

I do not even think this is true. There are some stocks in the NYSE that were selling at over $136 that are now less than $5 with a space of less than 18 months, people do not remember to reference those ones, they just focus on Apple, Amazon, Nvidia and the use them to compare with some of NSE that did not perform well and use them in comparison

It is very rare to see such a fall on the NSE.

Agbalowomeri:
The reality of our situation in Nigeria. This is one area where real estate is probably a better asset class. The value of stocks have been decimated severely

Interesting

Nothing on this chart that seems to suggest that the law of gravity is still not in play.

Now this is worrying, the national grid operates at 330KV, to put it in perspective, the three wires entering most transformers are 11KV, even that one will fry you up if you touch it so how then do people have the mind to go and vandalize 330,000V (330KV).

In electrical engineering, High Voltage is often only done by experts so for so called vandals to have the expertise to be able to successfully vandalize it leaves a lot to worry about.

where ndeath abi wertin be em name and his world best stock analyst Al min? He never come calm nerves since.

What does this statement mean? Does it imply that the case may go on but they will have to be attending from home.

...The minister said the President ordered the immediate release of the minors without prejudice to whatever legal processes that are ongoing.,,

What did I just read?

ositadima1:
You have started with, "the Yoruba way of life is better than the Igbo way of life, afterall figures like Adenuga, Obasanjo, and co vindicate you". Type of thinking

The way I see it, if not for education, you might have been a die-hard tribalist, someone who could potentially hurt others for being different.

That said, there isn't just one way to gain from the market. Whether as an investor, like Buffett, or as a trader, different approaches work for different people. Someone who bought Oando at 10 may not share your investing philosophy. They may be a trader looking to profit from volatility, rather than holding for 10 years. Maybe their only goal is to meet a specific target, and they see a short-term opportunity in the stock. Similarly, you, as a long-term investor, might analyze the same stock and find multiple issues.

Respecting other people’s views seems challenging for you, but it doesn’t always have to be your way or nothing. That’s not cool.

Noted

Nigerians always looking for short cuts to solve serious issues. This is an equivalent of what our own inhouse data analyst was suggesting the other day, to cancel 2 zeros at the end of the exchange rate to create the semblance of parity.

The truth is that Nigeria has to use this God given opportunity to consider exporting their products and services to benefit from this exchange rate, the proceeds when poured into the stock market will be able to buy a lot more quantity of shares.

@ask4bk, and @casualobserver, the lithium profile on most charge controllers on hybrid inverters use 28.8V (24V system) which translates to 3.6V, so if you set the BMS to 3.55V, will the BMS be able to take care of it from there or one has to find a way to also edit the inverter settings?

Inverter ACs vs Regular ACs?

Are the inverter ACs energy efficient enough to justify their extra cost over regular ACs, which are also getting fairly energy efficient on their own?

What are your thoughts folks?

If you read the actual report, you will find that he kept referring to the PIA act, he may indeed have had a good case.

I'm not "The Law", but I laughed at some of his prayers. Let's see how far this can stretch in the courts.

No wonder the marketers came up with one news this morning that they have resorted to importing petroleum products because of shortfall in Dangote refinery.

What I can learn from all of these is that, if anyone else smaller than Dangote in this country had tried building a refinery, it would not have succeeded.

The forces in this country are too many.

Dangote is on fire...

MTN did not obey this law when they got newly listedd.

Mpeace:
Aradel will pay some day. You need to be careful with newly listed companies. They often fall after listing until the market fixes their price.

wow. 3704-3624 = 80W remaining to hit installed capacity.

What was the peak you observed?

Peterlove11:
Today the sun was blazing, and I decided to put on some load because my batteries were full already. Check this.....sometimes science can be unpredictable
And that isn't the peak that I saw

I also arrived at 3257W max possible harvest using the lowest current among the panels as the max current possible from his installed capacity of 3704W.

If he getting higher than the calculated max possible harvest, maybe that theory about using the lowest current to derate may be wrong after all.

That is why it is always good to test and measure before accepting anything as fact. Thanks Mr Peter for throwing up this data.

Peterlove11:
But I have seen over 3257w.....

Now with this new info, I went to use the Isct current (9.06A) to redo the calculation and arrived at max possible power of 3412W, which corresponds with what you are getting.

Your next research should now be what happens to the panels (sunpower in this case) that are consistent run at short circuit, to know if there are any effects on them. Because I believe the JK panels will be driving lot of those currents when there is enough sunlight to do so.

earthrealm:
Yeah, the science checks out ok.
All panels in series gives you a loss of 12%,
3257watts max possible harvest
31.2volts...avg vmp
Imp...105a

all in parallel is 11.8% loss

Arranging all similar panels in series then paralleling them would hvv given you over 70% loss....i think this was where the myth of derating to the smallest panel comes from

I co ask.

I had a discussion with someone about this one time and he convinced me that the whole setup will work with the capacity of the lower rated panels, these info you requested for will be interesting to have.

earthrealm:
nice, surprised that the mixup is producing decent results. would wanna verify something scientifically, if its not too much trouble...
kindly provide the following data for the 4 or 5 panel sizes in your string

panel wattage
1. panel Vmp
2. Panel Imp

Except this is a new development, I know they were closed own at some point.

Never knew it is owned by JO's wife.

SAK:
quantum securities is still very active now ....own by Jim ovia wife(zenithbank) ...never close down?

Modified:

I just saw this post correcting the mistaken identity.

emmasoft:
Quantum Zenith Securities is not the same as Quantum Securities, they are two different companies not related in any way. The Quantum Megaealth is referring to has closed shop as stated. They used to be around Alagomeji, Yaba before they went under.
I have helped some of their customers to move their stocks to Investment one. In fact one just contacted me this night for same purpose.

Ironically I did not disconnect the BMS to avoid it shutting down yet it still did.

Thanks all the same

bassdow:
Most lapTop BMS has internal switches that DIEs the moment power is completely cut.

Most times when performing surgery on laptop powerPacks (battery), I ensure I never completely disconnect the BMS even if it means tapping into another power source. That way, You don't trip the internal switch.

Once that switch is tripped, it disconnects. Waking it up no be small work and requires deep experience in BMS circuitry + have necessary tools. Not worth it in my own opinion.

This happens mostly on OEM (follow-Come original) batteries. Those China replacement batteries are not ALWAYs that strict.

NEXT time, never completely disConnect that panel. it does a lot of work including monitoring temperature and voltages. For now, except you willing to put in the work, that's if you've got the necessary skills + resources, just salvages those cells and console your self. At least You've learnt something. Na so me sef take learn.

Hope I am clear enough ?

You seem to be knowledgeable about such things.

I was able to charge the batteries in one Dell laptop by bypassing the BMS to raise the voltage, the BMS has refused to startup since then. I have tried putting voltage on the BMS terminal to switch it on, did not work.

Any ideas?

bassdow:
One of the things I thought earlier. Same happens regularly in laptop batteries. A single cell in a string could render the entire thing useless.

I want to believe even that bad one could be refurbished. Probably change the electrolyte and charge seperately.

Glad you had it sorted

Their writing styles are different, there is less than a 10% chance that they are the same person with different monikers.

I believe some predicted that this will happen. Some people for the forum na experts abeg.

We are pleased to inform you that Nigerian Breweries PLC has opened their right issue (for existing shareholder to get more stake in the company). The Company has obtained the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘the Commission’) to commence the Rights Issue of 22,607,491,232 Ordinary Shares of N0.50 each at N26.50 per share.


This is being offered to shareholders on the basis of 11 new Ordinary Shares for every 5 Ordinary Shares held as at 12th July 2024, being the qualification date.


The Offer is NOW OPEN and scheduled to close on Friday, 11 October 2024.

If I remember that story very well, I think he was forced to sell during the loan issue saga.

Zagee:
Why comeback to something he discarded to pay bills? Opportunist? Will he not run it into debt again?

Thanks for your response.

But can't his lawyers do all of these on his behalf? Because come to think of it, the accused usually will not take the stands until much later in the case. So can't the law be amended to allow his lawyers do as much as they can do for them since they do not want to show up in court. Because in this case, the law is asking you to come defend yourself and you are running then the law should be able to use that to assume that there is a high probability that you are running because you are guilty and you should only have yourself to blame in that case.

OlujobaSamuel:
Due to doctrine of fair hearing, you can't try an accused in absentia, he or she must be present to take plea and make a defence. However, some (very few) countries allows trial in absentia in rare cases

Lawyers in the house, please why are people not tried in absentia? As in if an accused refuses to show up in court why not proceed without him since he does not want to defend himself? Will the case not even be faster that way?

If cases were done in absentia, all the shenanigans of jumping from moving van, hiding in hospitals or showing up with stretchers will not matter since the case will go on whether or not they show up.

As for EFCC, all these stories you are saying does not sound good to the ears abeg. If he was using one hand to hold the governor, you could have handcuffed the other hand to a car door handle since he was at the car park and they were a lot of cars around. A

Streetinvestor don tay for the forum o. If my memory is right, he used to have somethingbiafra in his old user name.

I challenge you to tell us your old moniker so that we will know when your problems started he.goat

I know you are the same person as @godlyguy, undead.

Streetinvestor don tay for the forum o. If my memory is right, he used to have somethingbiafra in his old user name.

ndept:
If you must know, this is @kolaish and I joined this forum around 2015 or thereabout and have been on NSE/NGX for over 3 decades. I went for holiday outside the country and during that period gave the laptop I was using to communicate on this forum to my third child who recently got admission into the university so that he can be using it for school assignment. Coming back, I forgot the login details of my old moniker and the email password. This is the reason why I opened a new moniker @ndept. If the so-called to.ut in the name of streetinvestor2 is bold enough, let him give us his old moniker to know who he is.

I have been long enough to know how many resource persons we have lost on this forum due to ru.de people like him and I will not allow him to turn this platform into a mediocre that he is. If he does not stop abusi.ng and calling people derogatory names here[b][/b], I am ready to tackle him all the way. Good people should not always keep quiet and allow bad behaviour to linger for long until it becomes a norm. That is part of what led our country to where we are now, because people do not want to tackle bad people/behaviour collectively.

Same venue for several years on? So na only Lagos State get the appropriate venue for this event?, Same question I asked last year.

It's alright na.
