Can we move on from Randy Waldrum?

He's gone and longer our coach

Continual referring to him won't help us in any ways

My head o

The battery backs must be outdoor sha. Or in shed because I can't imagine all that indoors

And I don't think there would be much tubular batteries in the mix cos the cost of constantly re-filling distilled water and electrolyte..

So it brings us to the type of SMF battery you use... Are they mostly AGM, GEL or VRLA

Thanks for anticipated response

He wasn't offside when the ball came to him. The ball rebounded to him from the keeper. It was not a pass from his own teammate.

Den forbid them score plenty goals?

Everyone knows that goal difference matters a lot in group stages/table format

Other teams scoring plenty goals have two heads?

They want to be doing 1-0... 1-1 like their Pro League

Make una stop giving una self false hope about the state policing

State governors have been given power to generate their own electricity which only required partnering with the investors, abeg how many states currently in Nigeria can boast of generating any meaningful watts of electricity

Is it the same governors you are expecting to fund the state politicing?

Security first.

Vandalism of power infrastructure is a major problem

MSW inverters are not strong, that your 2kw msw inverter might not be more than 400w actual power, don't try it with the induction cooker

When I said i will never buy sachet inverter again .... Some people vex

That's how it is done.

It is more convenient for the rural people if inec officers go to so the registration in their wards.

If everyone come to the LGA office to do the registration, transport is very expensive. It is better to just sort the inec officers to come over ... Calculate the transportation cost of over 1,000 people going to inec office vs few inec officers going to each ward.


Also the kind of crowd you will see if everyone come to the LGA office, I've experienced it before, it is very chaotic you will not like it.

bassdow:
your friend funny . unfortunately, checking for voltage ain't how to check battery health.

How then?

XPaul:
I am currently using just one battery on the inverter. The other one is bad bad and I plan to sell them as scrap.

Location?

Bluna:
You went to visit her people for the first time, right?

And in the process, rain got all of you stranded for some hours, right?

And you and your bro were trying to get a cab in the rain, right?

What if I tell you that she was mad at you because you haven't got a car.

There might be some other reasons, but what I stated here is the major reason for her attitude.

Your girlfriend (I don't want to call her wife) is not the type that can endure hardships with a man.

Is anything stopping her from buying her own car?

Fremlin:
Good day brother

Please, Any way I can contact about this?

Need to learn more

The charging module is available on Jiji or temu or AliExpress

Order it first...

It have drum for power input ... The place used to get very hot if too many power banks are plugged into the overall system... So the power pins don't last long.

To bypass the problem, visit electrician to solder live and neutral wires in the back just where the power pins dey

10 acres is too much for poultry, however.

PS: Why is this thread on FP? Did the op bribe the mods?

Not too much

Use it to grow corn to supplement poultry feed

Chief, nothing in this life will make me go back to Lead Acid. I'd rather buy 1.28Kwh 4th hand used Litium Iron cells than buy a brand new 230Ah Tubular Battery of the same price.

That means you Sabi who dey couple and repair am or can do those yourself

Reference:
You don't need a refinery there. Rehabilitate the web of pipelines running round the country and you can move products anywhere. But if you distrust Nigerians with their penchant for puncturing them and stealing products, build a rail network to serve all the state capitals with spurs to the refineries.

Let Kaduna focus on the energy resources it has and how it can exploit them to profit the economy. There is life beyond oil and gas and even the Arabs are slowly moving away from it.

I'm just wondering who go build refinery for kaduna. It totally doesn't make any sense when there was no oil field anywhere in the north at the time

That means Kaduna refinery is totally gone

tziz:
Chief, no offence but the more I read your responses in this forum, the more I picture u in my mind as one very frail old man with walking stick dat mostly just sits on a rocking-chair most of the day.
You prefer Tubular battery, u prefer Transformer Inverter, not bad dou. U just stick to the old stuffs mayb because dey seem more durable and straightforward. Sure me say ur TV for house na CRT Tube Tv abi? Or at best Plasma TV?

No offence ooo.

Your still one of the best here with ur helpful responses

No be your money go waste if transformerless inverter MOSFETS blow

And when lithium battery start it's BMS wahala ...

Go repair shops see plenty scrap sachet inverters .... As for lithium battery, they people that repair them too dey carry shoulder up ... They're very high on pride

If it's not million naira set up, just use lead acide battery

Ana2022:
Now, back to the main reason I am writing all of this.

What I experienced has deeply affected me. To be honest, I feel ashamed to call myself a Nigerian citizen right now. This journey has opened my eyes in a way I cannot ignore. I now truly appreciate the countries abroad that have given me opportunities, stability, and a better quality of life. Things I once complained about, I now see differently. May God continue to bless those nations.

What I saw was in Lagos—I cannot speak for other states—but what I witnessed there was overwhelming.

I visited both wealthy and poorer areas, and I was left speechless. This is 2026, yet there is still no reliable 24-hour electricity. The roads are even worse than how I left them many years ago. Everywhere, I saw young children selling goods on the streets—even inside buses. These are children who should be at home, resting or in school, not out working in unsafe conditions, day and night.

Seeing them broke my heart.

The transportation system was another shock. Many of the buses on the road are in terrible condition and should not even be operating. On one occasion, we entered a bus during the rain, and water was leaking heavily inside onto passengers. It felt unreal—like something out of a nightmare.

The constant noise—especially in the markets—was overwhelming. It was nonstop, from morning until night. At times, it felt like my head couldn’t rest, as if there was continuous drumming around me 24 hours a day.

I also noticed exposed wires along the roads, and it wasn’t even clear whether they were live or not, yet people walked around them as if it was normal.

Crossing the road was another challenge entirely. I stood at pedestrian crossings expecting cars to stop—but they didn’t. Sometimes, we were nearly hit. I even saw a zebra crossing connected to a raised concrete divider so high that it made no sense—how is anyone supposed to cross safely?

I tried using pedestrian bridges instead, but many of them were damaged, poorly maintained, or completely abandoned. It honestly felt unsafe to use them. I just kept hoping no one would fall or get seriously hurt one day.

When it rained, the flooding was everywhere. Roads became almost impassable.

One day, I decided to go alone to Yaba Market. That experience was overwhelming. I could barely breathe. The area around Tejuosho Market felt extremely congested, loud, and chaotic. The noise, the crowd, the heat—it was too much. I honestly don’t know how people cope working in those conditions every single day. No one should have to live or work like that.

I also couldn’t ignore the sheer number of people struggling—working tirelessly, carrying heavy loads under intense heat, just to survive. It made me wonder how much the population has grown, because the pressure on daily life is clearly immense.

And then I thought about the elderly… where do they fit in all of this? What support is there for them? It seems like once you grow old, the system expects your children to take full responsibility. But what happens to those who don’t have that support?

The reality is painful. There is little visible structure to support the most vulnerable—children, the elderly, and those who are sick.

It is deeply concerning.

There is still so much more I want to say… I will continue later.

But one thing is clear: please, do not be misled into thinking everything is working. There are serious challenges that cannot be ignored.

Ajeh sir.. my brother am doing well. I have not visited home for years now I wonder how everywhere looks now. Developments is coming everyday.. novena University have put Amai on a global spot.. thank God

The owner tried... Ogume people eh.

Ezhionum shares boundary with my town Abbi

Ani Ndokwa ba ma mma....

Yes ... The two streams between Ezionum and Abbi is the boundary

lildush:
Am from amai ishikaguna 🤣🤣🤣. I think this should be translated in to a movie... It's very interesting....

Ajeh My Brother

I hope you now understand why those boundary disputes started.

It feels very strange that the boundary of Amai and Ezionum is so short, coming from Novena.

The stream behind Novena is Ezionum original boundary.

It was was because of the exile, that was why Amai pushed the boundary inside

AKWATGOLD1:
Then where the Ezhionum founder is original from? From the narrative story all the original name is synonymous to a particular section/place in Benin empire.
Secondly, what i can see from the story is that same blood married same blood because the story did not established that during expansion of the kingdom, where each clan or families migrated to, they met people on the land during the expansion.

They were originally in Asaba ..

However one party (quarter) had quarrel with another quarter over ruling ... So one quarter went to invite Benin to fight the other... But the other went to hide

When the Benin soldiers didn't see who they were invited to fight, they turned on the people who invited them in anger ... So they were forced to migrate away from Asaba ... First to Eziokpor or so ... Before finally settling in Ezionum

Hope you understand now

lonelydora:
You are an Igbo man whether you like it or not. You can't sugarcoat our origin.

I want to ask you a question.

Was there anything like "Igbo" before the colonial times?

learnedman:
Some of these Delta Igbos and identity palava/confusion,u claim to be from Bini kingdom,u dont understand or speak Bini language and there is no cultural similarlty,Haba

You didn't read it well ...

There is no point where the the history said there from Benin.

The history said Benin military assistance was sought... But when the Benin soldiers came, they didn't see who they were to fight against which made them angry and they turned on who invited them.

Some mixing might have happened there

pcagbaji:
This historic account failed to mention that Ezhionum people also cultivate weed
( Indian hemp) A very important cultural heritage and identity

By the way, do you have documented evidence of what you called weed cultivation in Ezionum?

she added new conditions, stating that Paulo must first fight her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round match before she faces Ojo.

Why can't the women fight their fights Jeje and leave men out of it?

AyobamiOluwole:
You are wrong to do your maths that way and you also don’t understand the energy movement.

Let’s be generous to say that the owner uses a 15Watts chargers in his shop:

10 power banks = 15Watts by 10 = 150Watts
15 phones = 15Watts by 15 = 225watts

Total running loads at a time = 375watts per 1 hour.

Meaning that on the system is 375watts an hour. Nothing like 1kwh of power.

The power banks will take 5hours to completely charge while the phones will at most be filled in 2 hours. That 5 hours is enough to get your battery full and still charge those devices if you calculate well.

The duration of how long he runs the 375watts is most importantly based on his solar panels and battery bank. If he has solar panel of 1kwh, don’t forget that the generation of power on an ideal day is about

1k watts by 5hours =5kw

Meaning he has 5kwh per day. While his load is 375watts which will run for about 13hours a day. Meaning that 10 hours is enough for 20 power banks and the remaining 3hours (375watts by 3 hours) is enough for 75 phones.

Do your maths this way, gather enough research to know how many customers you will likely get a day and buy your set up that matches it.

Back to the shop owner and many others like him, they just don’t know the maths too, and they don’t like to ask before they get into it. Chikina.

You didn't factor charging cord/cable speed into the equation

And devices seem to draw more power when charging from empty than when full

brightk:
They don't really understand the energy movement.. A 20000mah power bank is roughly 74wh.. A 5000mah battery is roughly 18wh . Now do the maths of having 10 power banks and 15 phones when the sun is out. Daz 1kwh of power.. do you think your 4.5kwh can handle such load. Piple 15kwh de off here sef. @bassdow.. it's ok to start small with a gud system that u can scale up ad time goes on. Phone charging biz na power jam power.

Power banks dey draw power no be small

Penuelseun:
Baba, phone charging is no small business o especially if you are in a busy or student area, I have a client who started with about 20 phones using a 3000w satchet psw inverter with 24v 100ah battery and 2pcs 455w solar panels and 60a powmr charge controller, he used it for less than 2 months before needing an upgrade as the inverter cannot keep up with his load. Now he has changed the inverter to 4.2kw with 2 extra 455w solar panels, but the power still goes off in the evening during periods of low sunshine as his load is now nearing 2kw

I took this very wasteful route before.

Tell him to buy QC 3.0 DC charging modules. If he have patience, order from temu or AliExpress.... But if patience no dey, buy from jiji and have it waybilled to your location

To power it, take it to electrician to soldier live/Neutral wire directly in the back where the pin indicates because the thing gets quite hot with power pin and power pins spoil easily...

So take the charging modules to electrician to soldier live/neutral wire to the back ... Now connect all the wires by polarity to the charge controller or battery and boom ... No need for expensive chargers again

If a charging module burn (very rare) just take it to electrician to repair it.

Don't mind my haphazard method... I connected all the live together and put the neutral I to the socket so I can just pull out the neutral wire to turn off a particular charger.

You can buy wall light switch and call electrician to wire it for you so you can be turning a particular charger on/off by just pressing the switch

victorazyvictor:
Why can't these things be launched into space with maybe 3 detachable jet engine kind of to create balance and detach whenever and continue the journey with other sources rather than burning this much energy to lift and thrust this massive objects which is highly dangerous because it can burst in to flames.

My thinking sha! What do I know, just an architect wey never get better construction job for long.

---

The technology is already available

But if the sequence is reversed... E.g. you want to take off from space or moon back to earth, how will it be done using jet engines?

Moon doesn't have atmosphere and other planets, we don't know how the atmosphere is real time.

So rocket technology is still it.

The accident you are concerned about can still happen mid air
