Am grateful.


mank1234:


Approx 6 (6 * 200AH * 12V = 14.4kWh)
But you can't arrange 6 of such to get 48V

Edit: answered already above.

As a layman, i gained something from this, thanks.

generalstingz:


You just have the mathematics to do. 15.4KWH ÷ 48V = 320.8AH ~321AH

Going by your question. 200AH × 12V = 2400WHR
15.4KWH ÷ 2.4KWR = 6.42 ~ 6
Theoretically, you have six times the capacity of a 200AH battery.

Guess your question has been answered.
You cant get a 48V configuration with 6 batteries. You count / arrange in 4s.
Cheers

The series of permutations, calculations, consultations, conversations and campaigns regarding who would fly the flag the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 governorship election in Oyo State formally came to an end at about 3.30am on Monday, October 1, 2018, when a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Adebayo Adelabu, was elected candidate at the primaries of the party held at Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan. The race which began with over thirty persons on the starting blocks, about three weeks ago, down to seven aspirants who reached the home stretch, did have its several curves before Adelabu breasted the tape.

Crime / Akinloye Oluwatoyin Who ‘Jumped’ Off Third Mainland Bridge: I Was Blackmailed by OtunbaLeXuS(m): 11:22am On Sep 15, 2018
Lady who ‘jumped’ off Third Mainland Bridge: How I was blackmailed after defrauded of N75m by syndicate

https://www.nairaland.com/4557991/3rd-mainland-suicide-toyin-tkfashion



she has decided to come out and explain what really happened and how she was framed and defrauded...

By Juliana Francis






Three months ago, Nigerians were stunned speechless when a woman, later identified as Mrs. Akinloye Oluwatoyin, allegedly jumped off the Third Mainland Bridge, into the Lagoon over an alleged discovery of her nude pictures and that of her lover on the internet. Rumour was rife that she leapt to her death because she couldn’t face her husband after her torrid affair was discovered via the pictures.

The alleged affair and subsequent ‘suicide’ sparked tense controversy on social media, creating two divides. One faction cursed the unknown lover, Otunba Femi Adesanya, who it was believed shared the pictures on the social media, the other faction railed against Oluwatoyin for violating her wedding vows.

Incidentally, how the supposed death of Oluwatoyin spread was unknown back then, but her ‘corpse’ was never retrieved and nobody could state for a fact that she was seen leaping to her death.

The whole drama started on that fateful June 10, when Toyin was alleged to have jumped from the University of Lagos, Akoka, end of the bridge into the Lagoon.

She was further claimed to have parked a Ford SUV before she committed suicide. It would be later discovered that the parked Ford SUV was not hers, neither was she ever at the bridge, let alone to have taken a fatal leap.

Toyin, as she is fondly called by friends, was said to have been alerted by friends about the social media stunt, leading to her taking to her Facebook wall to tell friends and family in Nigeria and US, where she is a businesswoman, dealing in clothes, that she was hale and hearty.

Before Toyin spoke, however, an unknown person, still fueling the furnace, ignited another rumour, insisting the businesswoman was swindled N10million by her supposed lover and she got him arrested.

The lover, piqued by her move after all the intimacies they had shared, allegedly flung her like raw fish to the sharks of social media to feast on by sharing her alleged nude pictures.

Apparently determined to ruin her reputation, Adesanya shared semi nude pictures of himself, but complete nude pictures of Toyin. He was alleged to have shared it to prove to an unconcerned world that they were lovers and that the money was given in the spirit of love and romance.

Today, however, Toyin has finally decided to speak out, insisting that everything on social media was just one big pack of lies cooked and served to ensure she stopped seeking justice after a group of fraudsters, including a female friend, an Islamic cleric and Adesanya defrauded her N75million.

She said: “I thought Adesanya was a genuine businessman, who was into selling of fuel at different filling stations. He was also the person who circulated the story that I jumped off the Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagoon over infidelity.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) tried to caution him, but he wouldn’t listen. He was desperate to blackmail and stop me from pursuing the case.”

Toyin, who is married to Tunde, has three children for him and they all reside in US. Part of the lies told against Toyin during the damaging rumour was that following her alleged affair, her husband conducted a DNA test on their children and discovered that he was not the biological father of the three children.

What most Nigerians didn’t know is that Toyin, in spite of all the insults hitting her from all directions, refused to back down in her quest for justice.

She petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who detailed his Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT) led by a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, to investigate the case.

According to a police source, investigations showed that Toyin was a victim of fraud, “who, fell prey to a notorious fraud syndicate, based in Ijebu-Ode Ogun State,with international connections.” The source further said: “The victim, known as Toyin Texas, lost a total of N75m between March 2017 and January 2018.

This was the period she fell prey to the syndicate’s antics. Members of the syndicate went to publish her supposed nude pictures with a member of the syndicate on internet.

This was done in a bid to prevent her from instituting a case against them.” Our correspondent gathered that on July 2018, Toyin wrote a petition to Idris, asking him to ensure the arrest of members of the syndicate.

She further claimed that members of the syndicate were trying to kill her after their blackmail plans failed. Two among the alleged members, Adesanya and Alhaji Ganiu Awojobi, who allegedly played active roles in defrauding the businesswoman as well as publishing her nude pictures, had been arrested by IRT operatives.

The police said that Awojobi, who acted as an Islamic cleric, lured Toyin from America to Nigeria in November under the pretext of praying for her. Adesanya on the other hand, pretended to be a businessman and later defrauded her using a phony oil deal.

The police discovered that Adesanya, alleged to be the leader of the syndicate, had a penchant for defrauding and blackmailing married women, especially rich women in Nigeria and those based overseas.

It was alleged that several pictures of nude women and videos, most of them believed to be married, were recovered from him. Police alleged that Adesanya uses Sherifat as “a catcher” to get unsuspecting women and defraud them.

Adesanya and the prophet were also able to brainwash Toyin into parting with her phone after telling her that her friend, Sherifat took her name to a shrine and that if she received a call with the phone, she would die. She gladly relinquished her phone to Adesanya, which he later converted to his.

The police also alleged that they discovered during investigations that Adesanya was the person who published Toyin’s nude pictures on the internet. Toyin, while narrating her ordeal, said that Adesanya and members of his syndicate caught her through the aid of one of her friends known as Sherifat.

The victim explained that Sherifat, who also resides in US, sometime in November 2016, told her about a vision and message a prophet, living in Nigeria had for her.

This message, incidentally, came a month after the death of Toyin’s younger sister. Sherifat told Toyin, that an Islamic cleric in Nigeria, who used to pray for her, saw a vision and had a message for Toyin.

The cleric prophesied that if Toyin didn’t want to die the way her late sister did, she should be fervent in prayers. Toyin recounted: “Sherifat lives in the USA and we were close friends.

When this issue started, she was the person who linked me to the Alfa in Nigeria, but I wasn’t talking to the Alfa. She then traveled to London in March 2017 to meet Adesanya, who she had an affair with. She called and told me again that the Alfa told her that my death was looming unless I performed some prayers.”

While Sherifat was speaking with Toyin, Adesanya allegedly collected the phone and spoke with Toyin, stressing that he knew the cleric. He described the cleric as “powerful and well known in Nigeria.”

Toyin recalled: “Adesanya also told me that he had several businesses in Nigeria, including petrol filling stations in Ijebu- Ode, Ogun State. Alfa Awojobi asked for N154, 000 for the prayers; I told Sherri and Otunba that I didn’t have such an amount of money and they offered to pay N100, 000 for me, while I pay the balance. I did what they asked and the Alfa started praying for me.

In April, 2018, the Alfa insisted that I must come to Nigeria for the final prayers. I was really scared and I didn’t want to die the way my younger sister did.

“I traveled to Nigeria and went straight to Alfa at Ijebu-Ode. He asked me to take my bath before entering his house which I did. By midnight, he brought four men and they started praying for me. Alfa said he had seen more visions and had more prophesies concerning my husband children.

I ended up spending N1.5m at the Alfa’s place before returning to America.” She explained that in the midst of all these that Adesanya told her that he wanted her to invest in his oil business.

“He took me round some filling stations in Ijebu- Ode and people greeted him as if he was the owner of the filling stations,” recalled Toyin. “He asked me to invest a huge amount of money and maintained that after a month, I would get back my capital and 50 p e rcent as profit.

I trusted him.” It was based on that trust that Toyin ran from pillar to post, to borrow N30m.

She disclosed that the person that gave her the loan, paid direct into Adesanya’s account. A month after money was paid, Toyin called Adesanya to ask about the business. “Adesanya got angry and paid back the money into my account.

I was shocked and this made me believe and trusted him more than ever. I saw him as a genuine businessman. I pleaded and asked him to continue with the business.

He asked me to change the money into dollars, which I did and took to him,” said Toyin. Toyin said that two months after the altercation, the situation still remained the same; Adesanya was not forthcoming with what was going on with business, she decided to cut ties and run.

When she asked for her money, Adesanya told her that things were not going as planned because the money was not enough. He said that he needed more money.

This made Toyin to go looking for more money until she ended up paying as much as N75m. The last batch of money, which was N31m, was paid into Alfa Awojobi’s bank account. She said: “On December 2017, one of Adesanya boys called and told me that I was been defrauded.

I tried to arrest Adesanya with military police, but they couldn’t recover my money. I also got him arrested with policemen in Osun and Ondo states, but he was soon allowed to go.

I reported to operatives of the EFCC and they recovered 21, 000 nude photos and videos of various Nigeria women from him. He claimed that he was very sick and the EFCC granted him bail.

But after his release, he went on the internet and published photoshop nude photos of myself and him, claiming that he had sexual relationship with me, which was a lie! “The EFCC also discovered transactions between the cleric and Adesanya. They were not able to arrest him. Someone advised me to go the IRT through the IG.

Thus, I reported my case and operatives trailed and arrested the cleric and Adesanya.” Narrating his own story, Alfa Awojobi confessed to the crime, but admitted to have collected only N31m from Toyin. He added: “It was Otunba, my partner, who brought the businesswoman to me. I’m a fraudster.

I joined the syndicate three years ago. I was once a victim before I joined.
I act as an Islamic cleric, locally known as Alfa. It was Otunba that brought Toyin as a job and we defrauded her.

All the money that was paid into my account by the businesswoman was shared between Otunba and I.” Adesanya, rather than face the crime and admit to it as his partner did, preferred to dwell on the nude pictures and his alleged affair with Toyin.

He insisted that he had sexual relationship with her and added that Toyin’s nude pictures were displayed on internet because she first made his arrest public. It was apparently a case of tit for tat.

Update


A 63-year-old landlord, Adekunle Santos, has been arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court for allegedly removing the entrance door of his tenant’s shop and taking away property valued at N994,850.

PUNCH Metro had reported that Santos on May 23 around 3.30pm allegedly broke into his tenant’s shop, Esther Demola, and removed her door, thereby exposing her goods to thugs, who allegedly carted away items valued at N994,850.

Demola, a hairdresser, had told our correspondent that her travail began when Santos’s sister-in-law, identified only as Iyalode, came to her shop to take a weave worth N10,000, which she refused to release for free.

She claimed that Santos, who took sides with Iyalode in the matter, threatened to make life difficult for her.

She added that her stylist, identified only as Balikis, who was around when Santos allegedly destroyed her shop, called her attention to the break-in but before she could get to the scene, her goods had been taken away.

Santos was arraigned on Monday on four counts of conspiracy, stealing, damage and breach of peace.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The police prosecutor, Emby Ingobo, said the offences were contrary to Section 411 and punishable under sections 280, 287, 273 (d) and 168 (1) (d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.

The magistrate, Mrs A. M. Davies, granted him bail in the sum of N100,000, with one surety in like sum.

She said the surety must be tax compliant and have his address verified.

The case was adjourned till September 24, 2018, for mention.

Processing building approval will only take 28 days – LASG

In a move to improve the state’s ease of doing business, the Lagos State Government has pegged the period within which building approval can be processed to 28 days, saying it has waved title documents as a condition for obtaining approval.

The state government has also issued a six-month notice to enable all property owners, who have built without approval regularise their approval documents, noting that it will not charge any penalty within the window of six months.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Rotimi Ogunleye, disclosed this at a stakeholders’ meeting he addressed at the weekend to sensitise the residents of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area, Lagos.

Ogunleye addressed the stakeholders’ meeting alongside the General Manager of the state Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPA), Mr. Funmi Osifuye, warning against erecting buildings without perfecting approval documents.

At the meeting, Ogunleye lamented that many residents of the state had not been obtaining approval before erecting their buildings, a practice that violated the state Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law, 2010.

Citing implication for public safety, the commissioner disclosed that the process of obtaining building approval “has been made easy. Any person with intention to erect structures within the state will secure building approval within 28 days.

“Between March 1 and August 31, we will not charge any penalty for those who had erected their structures without a building permit. We purposely created that six months grace period for landowners to obtain their building permit.”

Also speaking at the meeting, the general manager explained reasons for the six-month grace to enable property owners perfect their approval documents, noting that the opportunity was “to assist property owners protect themselves.”

Within the six-month window, Osifuye said property owners could approach the government with land receipt and obtain the required government permit, noting that the state government was determined to encourage residents seek building approval before erecting their structures in any part of the state.

He added that the state government “has waved registered title as condition for obtaining building approval. The law stipulated that before anyone could erect a structure, such a person must obtain development permit. The government now accepts family receipt as condition to erect structures across the state.”

Ogunleye also lamented proliferation of oil tank farms in the state, noting that the state government would probe their operations due to implication for public safety and failing to comply with environmental impact assessment guidelines.

He said the state government’s decision to embark on the investigation was “to protect residents from fire disasters that might emanate from the tank farms during explosions.”

He explained the decision of the state government to investigate tank farm operation, noting that it “has already embarked on the study. And soon, we will come up with a very comprehensive approach to get everything under control in Lagos.”

He said the on-going investigation “will address the apprehension often expressed on tank farms in the state. The proliferation of filling stations has made residents express worry over it considering the inflammability of petroleum products.”

Thanks.

abdulwastecx:


The best practice is to cast the column (vertical structural member) separately, and then cast the lintel and head course separately( horizontal member), this will allow each of them to be properly vibrated and all voids removed.

It is not a must to cast column and lintel at the same time, it is better to cast them separately than to cast them together

Properties / How To Buy Land In Nigeria by OtunbaLeXuS(m): 6:32pm On Mar 06, 2018
Searching for land to buy in Nigeria is not a walk in the park especially when the buyer is new to property transactions. In view of this, the first thing that should come to mind when you want to buy land is the issue of finance.

Although finance is the major fuel that drives the intent to acquire land, you still have a couple of hurdles to cross to make your property ownership dream a reality. One of such is doing your due diligence. This is a very essential part where you do proper search and verification

In fact, having finance to buy a piece of land in Nigeria without doing your due diligence is like crossing a busy road blindfolded.

Thus, my ‘Number 1’ real estate investment rule; ‘Never wave your due diligence’:

The people I find most interesting to sell to are those who ask lots of questions while I am making my sales pitch. This is because the person will have me take full cognizance and responsibility of those questions asked, because I know I will be held accountable for it.

I really don’t like those who go into a purchase with sentiments. People who say; “I don’t need to ask too many questions; after all we are friends. You can’t dupe me”.

Yes, I am not planning to dupe anybody but I appreciate people who will go through stuff like “Terms & Conditions” ask me all the questions they can think of and be sure they by themselves know and understand what they are getting into.

I cannot and do not intend to dupe anyone but still I can’t break your medulla open and stuff it with what you should know about what you are buying if you refuse to read!

I have come to realize that most times, this type of buyer is running away from taking responsibility for his/her purchase. They are the people that will return after the transaction has been closed or following some other development to start asking questions and make it seem as if you forced the purchase on them.

Irresponsibility carries a huge cost nobody pays with a smiling face, so avoid it like a plague.

There is no one who really wants to do a thing without counting the cost. It is in counting the cost that you do due diligence. Don’t do it after you pay, do it before you part with a dime of your money, no matter who you are investing with.

So in doing your due diligence, do the following;

1. Discountenance the document you are given about any landed property and do your due diligence from ground zero. By ground zero, I mean, go to the site you are to buy to pick co-ordinates. If you do not know what that is about, you may want to visit the site with a competent Land Surveyor to pick the coordinates for you.

Chart the Coordinates at the State’s Surveyor General Office to know the status of the land. It is only after doing this, if the land comes out clean and the coordinates you picked matches with what’s on the documents you are given that you can start relying on the survey document as referring to the same land you were offered to buy. Otherwise, run!

According to the 1978 Land use act of the Federal republic of Nigeria, land in all parts of the country is held in trust for the people by the Government. As stated in section one of the land use act:

“Subject to the provisions of this Act, all lands comprised in the territory of each State in the Federation are vested in the Governor of the state and all such lands shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provision of the Act.”

Using the example of Lagos State, A landed property can be in one of these following 4 states, status wise:

Acquired land: we have specific or committed acquisition and general acquisition. My blanket advice is, do not touch land under specific or committed acquisition if a private individual is the person offering to you. Government has a clear purpose for this and except you are involved in the actualisation of the purpose, you do not want to risk your hard earned money on this.

If the land is under general acquisition and there is any serious indication that it can be processed for excision, then you can confirm that but do not part with money until you are sure it is excised. That leads me to the second status.

Excised Land: this is when a land was previously acquired for overriding public interest but later released, that is excised either in part or whole to the original customary owner. There are documents and correspondences between Government and the customary land owning family to substantiate the excision in terms of size, actually location and title. Layout plan was added as part of what should attend such excision by the Government of Babatunde Raji Fashola.

You can buy excised land that has supporting document to confirm the excision.

Acquired but ratifiable: this is when a land was previously acquired for general or specific use but Government has had a change of mind for whatever reason to allow part or the whole land to be used by private individuals. This is usually as a result of heavy encroachment, politics, etc

It is what people call buying twice. Reason is, you will pay the land owner, customary or whoever currently holds possession at the time of your purchase and still pay the relevant department of government for the ratification before you can get title on the land.

Freehold land: this is when a land is free from any known encumbrance and can be transacted on without fear. For such land, you only need to be sure you are buying from the rightful owner.

2. Make findings to authenticate the documents and owner. One way you can authenticate the original owner is by going to the site independently on your own without the Vendor and/or his/her agent to ask questions in the vicinity

If you notice anything that puts you on the edge, please get to the bottom of it and satisfy yourself, otherwise, don’t pay.

The following are some of the tell tale signs of lands in dispute:

● Fake document or no document at all
● Negative report from Land Registry
● Negative report on vendor and/or agent
● Advice of caution from your environmental/neighbourhood investigation
● Below market price offer or closing price, when it’s too good to be true, it probably is not true
● Persistent and abnormally aggressive demand for payment with the excuse that other people are showing interest in the land
● Strong preference for cash payment
● Signs of physical development on the land without satisfactory and/or verifiable explanation
● Signs of structural demolition on the land without satisfactory and/or verifiable explanation
● Any other measure aimed at achieving hasty closing.

3. Do title search at the appropriate government office. Surveyor General’s office, State Land Bureau or Land Registry. Enquire about the owner and his title. I

4. Above all, I will always encourage that you use professionals in all your acquisitions. Use professionals who belong to a body of professionals they are accountable to. It is for a number of reasons and the safety of your investment. You cannot claim to be an expert because you have read this article or have purchased landed properties a few times. No two transactions are the same. Most buyers run from the cost of hiring a professional. Don’t be fooled, the fees they charge can be negotiated. Don’t be kobo wise, naira foolish.
