I feel like strangling you at the bolded.

Oga you will a poor suburb in the states, they'll come together organize fire station, police station, power supply, school streets and lot more as much as possible
I initially felt like to reply your tirade likewise but on a second thought, I guess I'll refrain.

I'll give you just one example.

You must have read in the news about cement being cheaper in other countries than Nigeria. Even David Umahi was complaining about it in the news.

Are the machines used for construction made in Nigeria? They're imported. Steel rods are imported. Even fuel is imported. Then you add the importers profits.

Now ask poor Nigerian villagers to contribute money to build road. It's not a fair comparison.

In china, USA, they have all the machines needed there so they can afford to build a road in a week. But here, in some cases, the contractor have to wait over 5 months to ship the equipment from abroad, clear at the ports before transporting to site.

Cement and steel for road construction are cheaper abroad too.

Look at Dangote refinary. If it were in China or USA our even India, maximum 2 years they have finished it because all the equipment needed can be easily made there. But being here in Nigeria, almost everything in refinary has to be shipped from abroad. ... Then when you add unstable exchange rate....naira from about 250/ dollar to current 900/$

Now ask yourself again if it is Fair to compare Nigeria purchasing power with developed countries purchasing power. It's definitely a very unfair comparison

There is no community spirit and everybody is out for themselves.

As I said before, what people spend on and prioritise shows the kind of person they are.

Nigerians as a collective will rather chase a fantasy than deal with reality on ground. It's their form of escapism.

Nigeria produces the richest pastors in the world, but the general populace is poor.
I'm afraid it may take up to next three generations for Nigeria to get to Europe level.... Because dirty rough environment is "normal" in our psyche. Most people don't see anything wrong with it.

Look at market women, their environment is always dirty. Or maybe Nigerians don't like patronizing shops in neat environment cos they think dirty environment traders are cheaper... I don't know which one.

Either way a lot of people will have to die off before things can change here. Look at those iron scavenger boys... You install rail guards for bridges and next morning they have stolen it. Or shitting in newly built classroom blocks... Things like that.

There are even people that remove drainage covers to use as step for their homes

Nigeria can boast about are lavish churches. That indicates what Nigerians prioritise: greed, fantasies and delusions.
Why the emphasis on churches only? Is Christianity the only religion in Nigeria? The church is not responsible for the state of bad roads in the country. Churches build roads too. Just that there isn't much publicity about it.

Winners Chapel has offered to fix the entire length of the Sango Ota roads. The govt refused.

Who is responsible for building & fixing roads in Nigeria? It's the government

It's a matter of "Responsibility".

Is it right for a neighbor who is struggling to make ends meet to be feeding the children of rich next door neighbors whose parents are squandering their income on prostitutes, fancy laces and jeweleries and clubbing while their children are starving at home? It's not right. The most you as a good neighbor is to give the kids what you can afford once in a while. Let the parents wake up to their responsibility

So to say individuals and religious organizations should be building roads is very wrong in the first place. PEOPLE ARE PAYING TAXES & LEVIES FOR A REASON.

Do the governments abroad that built build beautiful roads & streets have two heads? Let the Nigerian governments sit up to their responsibility

Lots of money that Nigerians will rather use to invest in a church rather than their community.
But about religion.

People do it for their compounds. The people that have money sometimes do it for their street too. There's a man on my side, HRM Friday Abaja who interlocked every single road in his community (umukwata).

Even in my community, someone bought nddc to tar up a large chunks of the internal roads.

So people can do it. People that give to religious institutions have their reasons. You can't tell them how to spend their money

For environment to be dirty like that is normal in Nigeria. That's the mentality. People don't see anything wrong with it.

Secondly No money. The authorities that are supposed to do it are not doing their job. Is it the common citizens that are struggling to make ends meet daily that should be doing their job for them?

To put fine environment like that in place requires a lot of money.

Individuals are looking for how to get and pay bills.... Govt officials/civil servants are more concerned about securing their future before they live office.

So it's very a difficult challenge to overcome without dedicated willpower and funding

They're coming from your ceiling.

If you spray the room and leave the ceiling, the ones in the ceiling will come down through small holes in the PVC.

Just buy a bottle of sniper and one litre diesel or kerosene... Put small needle hole into coke plastic bottle cap ... Climb table/chair just for good arm to reach into three ceiling manhole and be squirting the mixture into your ceiling every time you're going out for long, say, go out in morning come back evening.

A week or two and they should all be dead

Or buy cabide / camphor/ sunshine insect repellent air refresher... Break them into pebble pieces and throw them into various corners of the ceiling

Reality is different from theory.

A person can be very nice outside as a colleague and as a close friend too... but living with that same person can be an entirely different experience

And people do change with time too. So one cannot say as this person is doing now before marriage is how the person will continue doing after marriage.

So with respect to marriage, to be safe is better than to be sorry.

If anyone use marriage as social experiment in order to prove a point (in this case, whether it is okay for a man to marry a woman of higher status wealth than him), let them take fully responsibility for their actions when things don't go as they anticipated instead of passing the blame to someone else

8. Lastly, is there a type of inverter that can use energy generated directly from the solar panels during the day for powering of appliances while charging the battery for night use without been in use during the day time? If yes what are the setup required for this kind of system?
cheesy

It can't work like that for now because I don't think the technology is available. The current generated by solar panels is in pulses. It's not steady. If you connect a solar panel directly to a UPS, it'll come on, but maybe 3 seconds after, go off.

That's because the wave is not steady, like zig zag pattern. That's why a battery is needed to store the current from panel first

This kind Theory is different from practical because oftentimes, couples don't really know the kind of person they got married to until few weeks after the wedding when there is no need to be pretending/hiding personal flawsb again that's when they start showing their real self grin

2. You mean in the world you live in, women who have money don't get married? undecided
1. Q: What is wrong with the woman attempting the very same when she too has money?.

Answer: There is nothing wrong with her doing it but Later she will bring it up against the man ... How she has been doing this and that. most women will remind the man of it later as if they did the man a favor.

2. They get married but if she doesn't let her husband take responsibility for the home because she has more money & hence cannot live within the means of what the husband can provide for her, it's a potential cause of conflict that can lead to divorce

1. A man can be doing something for 20 years and see it as normal thing. But if a woman does the same thing even for just once, she will likely bring it up one way or the other later how she did the man a favor by what she did.

Whereas the man has been doing it for years happily without even considering it as anything. For example.... Say... School fees or gas... A man can buy gas for years or pay fees for years without any hassle. But if a woman have to do that even just once, she will start complaining of how she laboured to use her money to buy gas or pay fees.

From a male perspective, the kind of complain is very annoying.

Now imagine the wife has more money than the husband. Every single thing she buys outside what the husband gives her will be will be up for contention later. It can generate much bad blood between the couple.

If a man has something, it belongs to both of them. But if a woman have something it is hers alone. His car is their car, but her car is her car alone... And If anything happens to her stuff, the kind of complaint that will full the house eh... cheesy

2. Women don't accept responsibility for their actions and decisions when they turn out to be wrong. They will look for the nearest man to blame for it. If the woman have more money than her husband, she will likely be transferring all the blame to him. "You didn't do this, you did not do that... Why can't you do this and that while I was away? ... Who asked you to do it? It is your fault, you are the cause.." ... Any man that stay with in that kind of relationship, someone will either kill the other due to extremely bitterness or the man will die of heart attack/high blood pressure.

That is why senior men don't argue with women forming "pepper". They just wear their shoes and run else na premature death

2. 2 wires go to battery in hybrid.
4 wires go to battery in standalone. What now makes it complex?

2. You are expert nah. You already know all these things. What about people who don't know jack about electricals? Ordinary wall socket or bulb holder socket they cannot replace. You will not be the only one to be using the system. If you are away from it from a while and something falls out of place, the other people using it will have no idea what is wrong, even if it is a simple stuff as breaker cutting power in event of overload, or item plugged is short circuited, they can't know how to turn it back on.

The installer ought to have added brand of the items.

Also I'm really not a fan of buying HYBRID appliances. Imagine buying a PC with onboard Hard-Disk, Ram, etc. The day the PC goes bad, you wouldn't be able to salvage it's RAM, Hard-Disk, etc.
If He buys a hybrid Inverter (one with built-in Charge-Controller), He wouldn't be able to acertain quality of the Charge-Controller. Mind you, not all MPPT controllers, are created equal. Also what happens when the Inverter goes Bad beyond repair, He automatically Looses the Charge-Controller.
The problem here is cost. If one decides to buy things separate, it'll be double the cost of hybrid inverter.

For example, say 2.5kva hybrid with inverter, Mppt CC and battery charger all in one is 150k,

If one want to buy inverter, Mppt, battery charger separately, it'll cost more than 150k. More complicated wiring is another issue too.

If the hybrid Inverter is good one, make just person just buy external Mppt CC and install good fuses and breakers in place to protect the system. Dey manage am like that
