Yea. Anyone who listen to Ema here would know that it is tied to SDF and reviewed 2wice a year so naturally I expected it to go lower.

I wish there was any international form of mutual funds, based for example in Switzerland and not tied to CBN and Nigerian politics, na dat one for pure pass.

Lazyyouth4u:
This was expected. I’m surprised some people believed they could guarantee 7.5% in a low yield environment.

Well, in this case it is too far from the true content. Anyway, thanks for engaging.

EdmundDantes:
The movie. I know there is no way the content of a movie can equate that of a book.

Is this your first time doing such a transfer?

4tunebest:
@ Oga Emmanuelewumi and any other person with information, I seek a kind of clarification from you sir.

Please how reliable is United Capital? I've been operating their Fixed Income Fund and Equity fund for some months now and the service delivery has been quite commendable and very satisfactory.

However, a particular fund transfer I made (500k) has been acknowledged as received by UCAP through an automated message, but yet to reflect in my account after 1 week. I sent a mail to their Customer Care and it is currently being investigated.

Please I need to know have you had such experience with them before? Was the issue promptly resolved? What would you advise me to do?

Thank you for your time.

Yes, u read the book or watched the movie? If it was the movie you watched then know that you have a watered down (false) version, the book has a far richer content.

EdmundDantes:
The Count of Monte Cristo

All our fixed options are reducing. Is there a USD mutual fund package for someone to be doing like $100 savings a month. Stanbic has but I think you have to do at $1k per transaction.
@emasoft, can you throw more light on your VANTAGE DOLLAR FUND?

omotola90:
saw the mail this morning... Way too low I must say

VGIF now has a new rate of 4.5% p.a

I am quoting you only because of your username. Have you read the book or you watched the movie?

EdmundDantes:
Voice of reason...

Now that I think of it, we tend to always only look at instantaneous power for cooling systems when what we should also consider is the KWH, that should give an idea of a measure of how frequently a compressor goes on and off, which invariably will suggest the fridge/ freezer's ability to retain cooling.

Ceaser01:
Patronage in that shop subtly indicates requirement for another extra freezer, probably a bigger one. I will watch as things go with more/adequate panel addition to satiate the 24 v / 220 ah LFP. If the backup does well to accommodate another freezer addition, I will not go the route of inverter freezer for that site again.

From an energy efficiency and conversation of coldness, bwtween Scanfrost and Thermocool which would you rate the highest? Also, I tend to hear of more people repairing their thermocool than Scanfrost.

ceaser:
Both thermocool freezers I mentioned earlier advertise 100 hours post power outage, from personal experience they live up to it.

As I read the messages I just remembered Baba Alausa who in 2010/2011 said I should invest in his business and I will be getting returns every 2 weeks. Na dat matter we still de now. No returns, no refunds. Funny thing is that if I call him on his number 08094602416 today, he will assure me that next month he will pay, a story I have been hearing for r about 10 years now. He is one of the reasons I never invest in people no matter the sweet mouth and money making projections.

Great. No harm in experimenting with a less costly battery as a free one. You are indirectly protecting and prolonging the life of your main battery.

funshyboi:
Yes I have 2 panels 156 and 80 watts connected in parallel to 30 amp CC

Ponzi and various forms of multi layer marketing (MLM) are illegal in a lot of countries except there is a product attached to it.

emmanuelewumi:
Just came back from my in laws place on the Island and I saw the advert of one of the digital agricultural Investment promoters from Adeniji to Iyana Oworo.


SEC ought to be hard on all Investment promoters who seeking funds from the public, another one called Oxford Agric has a massive bill board at Maryland Lagos

I guess you have a solar system you want to dedicate to the battery? How many Watts and CC type?

funshyboi:
I think I will be using this battery just for TV when the sun is shining then switch to my lithium during the night
How about that ?

Since it is just one battery, you can either use it for a solar lighting system or for a 12V inverter system. If using it for a 12V inverter system, then in my personal experience, you can deploy for loads that run only in the afternoon, that means the loads should be matched properly to what is generated by the solar while the battery only serves as a buffer and voltage source to the charge controller

funshyboi:
Good day guys. I just got a new car battery from a friend who sold his car as a scrap.

The battery is still new so I think I can be using it for my solar system (I know car batteries are not good for solar) but I can’t let the battery just get wasted like that.


Can anyone suggest a necessary recommendations I need to take so I can enjoy the battery to an extent.

With all due respect sir, Forex itself is not ponzi, the only problem is that many folks claim to be trading forex with consistent success and start collecting a lot of money from innocent people when they know that they do not know how to trade.
I only refer to this part of your post sir.

RayRay06677:
I wish I have time to learn the trading myself. Learn to discuss what you know and not what you don't know. Those calling forex trade ponzi, kindly tell us what you know about forex. I am ready to learn. Happy Christmas, my best Christmas ever, last two weeks saw me do VGIF with over 26m because of ponzi, emasoft feel free to confirm. That was unprecedented, all I want is clean money and am getting it, what is crashing should crash and what is paying should pay. Pipminds has a trading house for VIP and executive with 50k rent a month you trade on your own with instructors to guide you. People are cashing out, if you are busy then they trade for you. So my brothers, don't give people your money, trade it yourself with guidance so it wouldn't be ponzi. I am too busy, they trade for me and am seeing returns. Bye, see you in Christmas

Some of these politicians find it hard to believe that 2M is more than the annual salary of more than 40% of Nigerians, that is why they call any amount anyhow.
2M per annum is 166k per month, not many average people will give a full month's to any wife or girl friend for Christmas.

Do you have a particular model recommendation?

Peterlove11:
U can go for thermocool 200H....don't know the exact wattage, but it's minimal. I power it daily on my inverter and it retains cold

lol... Same year I bought mine. I be non wan talk the year make folks non de ask weda I non want make Scanfrost chop and just like you I have never called any technician to come have a look. Each time I want to sell, I always feel guilty because I fear what if I bought a new one and me and Kazeem (repairers) become friends.
However, even though mine is not also not a frost free freezer, I noticed since I bought it that it was not really able to retain coldness that much, at least for a freezer. In short, within 2 months I had to call them to come check why within 2 days it was losing coolness then. Not sure it is the model I got.
The inverter LG friend is however a newer one and definitely much worse in retaining ice since it is frost free one. Maybe I will buy the Scranfrost Sfl151m Comfort Line recommended by Abdomox before deciding to let this other older one go.

omotoda:
I bought my scanfrost in 2011.Till date I have not had cause to do any repair/maintenance on it.It still freezes very well.I have seen the newer models too but I suspect they are frost free as well. Perhaps anyone in the house who has frost free freezer with reasonable cold retention rate can recommend to you but believe me ,with the exception if few,all these newer models are all same of same .I personally prefer the non frost free and would always buy the low energy consuming ones.My scafrost consumes about 120 watts or there about.I know this is high for energy saving folks but I dedicated a 2.5kva/36 volts inverter to my fridge and freezer ( hooked to 1000watts panels) so I can't complain.

Sometimes na contractor de induce the procurement staff.
Some contractors can go as far as identifying the schools your kids attend and pay their fees, some will identify your wife and send her a gift you her husband cannot afford.
Nigeria matter hard.

highcurrent:
True. It's easy and there is favourable ground for stealing in that department.

Unfit employees different from 'thiefing' employees.

Dum20:
Every company all round the world have issues with staffing and employees,. All round the world employees, contractors and customers are hired and fired, it is not a Nigerian thing.

You develop processes that mitigate the negative impact of bad eggs in your company.

Many companies around the world, Google, Facebook, Microsoft have rigorous process for hiring and firing but sometimes people that do not fit into the company goals sneak in. The system still weeds them out.

Bad people are everywhere in the world and those places thrive.

Mechanical engineers tend to call all of them heat but yes I meant cold retention

Namzy:
Heat or cold retention?

I was carried away with the low power demand of the so called inverter fridge that I did not consider that heat retention is a very important aspect of energy conservation.
I also have a scanfrost but I am also not impressed by it's heat retention, however I have had it for a long while so I guess the newer models will be better especially the one recommended earlier which claims up to 120hrs heat retention.
I will have to go for that then. I thought thermocool were the leaders in fridge/ freezers in Nigeria?

omotoda:
You must run them on inverter for greater part of the day if you would enjoy them.I have a Bruhm freezer that is frost free and a scanfrost freezer that is the conventional freezer.I can leave the scanfrost for up to 2 days without power and the frost still retains but the bruhm,once light goes madam has to use the bigger inverter immediately to power it cos you can't decide when IKEDC will bring back their power and in less than one hour you will be shocked with what you see.Frost free freezers are not good in situation of epileptic power supply.

No need to argue, ask them their experiences with their Nigerian human resources, employees, contractors and customers so you understand the scale of the danger and damage.

Later some people will say Nigerians are greedy, wicked, thieves, bla bla bla.

See hard working people trying to create a new future

Point noted.
Would have been very nice though if they could retain heat a lot more longer

omotoda:
It's not because they are inverter freezers but because they are frost free freezers. To enjoy frost free freezers you must have regular supply of power because their technology is such they do not form frost(ice) so even when the get iced to a point there is an internal cooling mechanism that blows air and prevents frost.

odimbannamdi:
The idea is that, your inverter will nearly always be on...

Thanks a lot, I just read it's review. 120 hours of post power outage is an ambitious claim. I guess I will consider it then. Thanks a lot

Did you personally measure this power?

Abdomox:
Yes. It has a surge. Can't say what the wattage is, but after that it reverts to 135W immediately.

That means it will start at around 300w before tampering down, right?

Abdomox:
Do Scranfrost Sfl151m Comfort Line.

It's not an inverter Freezer, but it consumes 135W

Is it just me or has anyone experienced that these inverter fridges block fast and lost their frost also very quickly once they are not powered.

Any good freezer recommendation that is able to retain ice long after power outage?

A nation of excuses.
One guy's comment on a thread really struck me. He said that successful people in Nigeria are verbally attacked because they expose people's incompetence and laziness in a nation where we constantly tell themselves success is impossible. Attacking them is a form of way to justify why we are not as successful and so have to come up with excuses for our failures as a people.
The attack on Dangotte may seem personal and tribal sometimes but it is more of a self protective mechanism. A face saving measure for our failure.

ultron12345:
More huge domestic investments. Foreign investors can keep looking at paper figures.

https://www.nairaland.com/6327201/bua-construct-3-cement-plants

Besides, where are all those who said government banned anyone from entering the cement industry in order to give Dangote monopoly? Later, we'll hear the mission wasn't Dangote monopoly but Fulani/Hausa/Kano-indigine monopoly.... 1di0ts

That laminated paper should have an NIN number, so you are not in this category.

southniyikaye:
Useless country.
Did mine in the year 2013 and till date, na laminated paper I dey carry up and down

You can check now, looks like it has finally landed.

freeman67:
Unfortunately, it didn't land today. Tomorrow is weekend so I will have to start hoping again on Monday. It's now added to my investment mistakes of 2020. I will never use Morgan for such investment again except they are the issuing or main partners/ collection house for the FG.

He does not have a contract with the said influencer does he?
For me I did not know him before, now I have an idea who he is. In marketing, they say no such thing as bad publicity, as long as the message keeps getting forwarded, he is getting free publicity, das how social media marketing works.
If care is not taken even google will pick it up such that when next you type photographers in Nigeria, his profile will be among the ones that show up, not bad if you see it from that angle.

AlfaSeltzer:
Not to me. He has just shown that he is incapable of keeping confidential commercial information private. Very bad image for a business.
