The cost of solar installations have dropped over the years. It is now a lot more affordable these days, though still more expensive for most Nigerians. Here is an article on Solar Inverters which is one of the key components of any AC output solar power system https://www.naijatechguide.com/2016/06/solar-inverter-price-features.html

When will these PDP guys get over their loss in the 2015 elections. It is less than 3 years to the next contest and you are still crying over a done deal. The way you guys are going you will probably lose the next one. The only difference then is that you will not have Jona Jona to blame.

A Solar charge controller is a major component of a solar power system. It regulates the voltage and current coming from a solar panel making sure it is within safe limit to charge the battery without overcharging or damaging it.

I use a Sukam deep cycle SMF battery in my own system and it serves me well. You can always choose between an SMF battery and a Tubular battery. Both are deep cycle with strengths and weaknesses. You can learn more here https://www.naijatechguide.com/2016/06/inverter-battery-price-features.html

The Problem with Nigeria Web Hosting Companies is that most of them (if not all) are just resellers for international web hosting companies. So, rather than buying from them you would probably get a better deal from the original web host. Here are some of the best https://www.naijatechguide.com/2012/05/top-web-hosting-services-reliable.html

One advantage of choosing a local web hosting company is that you pay in Naira, which means you will not have to worry about what the Dollar will be tomorrow. However, since they are paying for their reseller accounts in USD, it is likely that they will increase hosting prices as Naira value falls.

Check this link for a fresh list of web hosting companies based in Nigeria https://www.naijatechguide.com/2010/04/best-web-hosting-sites-and-companies-in.html

The list includes companies like:

1) Registeram

2) GlobalHosting247.com

3) SMartWeb

and more.

The beauty of a Nigeria Web Hosting is that they will let you pay in Naira, so you do not have to worry about currency fluctuations

Glo should put more effort on improving its network quality. There is no point buying 12GB if you won't use it due to low speed or unavailable network

Nigeria has come a long way from the days of 5000 Naira for 500MB on GPRS/EDGE

The service should also be deployed to more towns and cities across Nigeria

I agree with Mr Aribisala to the extent that corruption is pervasive in Nigeria and should not just be limited to public officers. The average Nigerian has a propensity to cut corners.

However, claiming that what is happening now is not a fight against corruption is totally inaccurate. Also asking government to wait until every Nigerian is fed-up with corruption, before we fight it is neither practical nor responsible.

Welcome development. Airtel has a very solid network, the only problem has always been pricing compared to Glo, though Glo has a horrible data quality. Hopefully the data boost will not be limited to cheap plans. I hope that the current 15k plan will also be boosted

I am sure someone will find this useful.

Useful tips

Nigerians always blow things out of proportion. If you think Arik is not doing well, try another airline. It is that simple.

If you put on all these restrictions on your data, then what is the point of buying a smartphone? You are better off saving your money on a feature phone. It is the continuous connections that makes smartphones smart.

It is also important to know that free Wi-Fi is dangerous, because you don't actually know who is on the other side

Check the full specs here http://www.naijatechguide.com/2016/03/doogee-homtom-ht7-price-specs.html

However, I do not think the price posted on this thread will suffice. I will put it at between 20k and 30k

The new iPhone SE is no doubt the cheapest iPhone ever. Apple knows that to grow or maintain market share they need to offer a cheaper iPhone with top notch specs. They must have learnt from the iPhone 5C flop.

I guess you missed the portable GPS Navigation Systems

This a welcome development. The next stage is to make sure that a reasonable percentage of the parts are made in Nigeria, because that is where most of the jobs in the Auto Industry reside

See unboxing photos of the Microsoft Lumia 950 below. Check Link http://www.naijatechguide.com/2016/02/microsoft-lumia-950-unboxing-dual-sim.html

According to some sources the phone is comes with a 3000 mAh battery, not 3800 mAh

I do not even know what the issue here is. Are we saying that given the state of affairs in Nigeria that a coup is impossible or is it because the comment came from a disgruntled Northern leader? Forget the messenger take the message.

Nigeria is already heading in the wrong direction and as Newton stated in his third law of motion an object (or a country) will maintain steady speed in a given direction until it is acted upon by a force. That force must not be a coup, but if the force is not coming from the leaders and the people are not applying any reasonable force for change, where the do you want the force to come from?

The words of El Rufai should be noted rather than being waved away.

The cashless policy is the way forward. If you want more cash, pay the surcharge or open a micro finance bank as a work around. Nigerians will never be ready for anything whether it is JAMB registration, SIM registration, or coins. They will always find an excuse to maintain the Status Que. So, it is always a good idea to shove it down their throat and see what happens. So, bravo to Sanusi.

Both are good, it all depends on what you want. QWERTY phones can be great for typing but when it comes to most other phone features like browsing, manipulating menus, gaming, reading, etc touch displays are better.

If you are data conscious, go for a BlackBerry phone. Android is a good OS, but it is far from perfect. Android OS is also produced mostly by companies that lack imagination or innovation. All they do is push out high specs a large screen, quad-core/dual-core, etc. No wonder, despite the publicised success of Android, only a few of them have actually been able to leverage its success. No wonder Google is going after Motorola.

Go for a functional phone that does what you want. 1,000,000 apps you can only use a few. 1000s of them does virtually the same thing. It is only a person now in the advanced stages of inferiority complex that will buy a phone just for image. However, do not limit yourself, go to a reputable shop and see what is available. But forget specs and focus on functionality.

You cannot just rank Nigerian education higher based on answers of UK students alone. We need to see those of their Nigerian counterparts. Besides, most of the answers where logical. For example the student who was told to expand an expression made a genuine and logical effort to do so. He/she even dedicated four lines to the problem.

There answers showed logic, they may not have crammed or memorised the answers but they showed some creativity. This character may even see them excelling in life.
