Just discovered that my led TV watts can be reduced to 37watts by adjusting or setting the picture mode to "ECOhome" which is 37watts ,
When i select DYnamic mode it automatically goes to 100watts and when u choose STANDARD mode its 72watts,
My new 32inch led TV is now on ecohome mode which is just 37watts

How do you determine the wattage? Mine is 55watt default, what could it prolly be on Eco mode?

I am interested BUT isn't there risk of explosion when you convert a normal petrol (gasoline) generator to a propane generator?

ceejay80s, saint2ace, bishop4life and pato405 what do you think about this stuff?

It's a NO NO for me.

TeOwl:
did you buy used ones, most of the prices i was seeing for solar panel, charge controller and 100ah are more expensive than what you got them for...

i am interested in solar panels but the price has always scared me off.

It depends on the wattage and type of panels (monocrytalline or polycrystalline). the monocrystalline are usually a little bit more expensive. 100watt polycrystalline is between 10k - 13k, while monocrystalline is between 15k-20k. The higher the wattage, the higher the price. Charge controllers are now very affordable, some sell for 3k on Konga/jumia (http:///intelligent-10a-12v-120w-pwm-solar-panel-regulator-adapter-charge-controller-2194040). So, the prices quoted are not bad.

@ceejay
Thanks for this sensitization. I got the tv with adapter @ 6k ,
solar panels 100 watts 13k,
charge controller 4k,
100ah battery (mercury servicable) 15k,
ups 2k. I rejected the one with double battery.
NEPA HAS REMOVED ALL THE LIGHT IN OUR TOWN THEY SAID WE ARE OWNING #33MILLION. So thats the latest i will assemble it today and feed you back.

GREAT ! I'm interested in the solar coupling. Is your charge controller MPPT?

no car is bad. if you are in Europe go for the benz, but if in 9ja, go for the toyota. reason- availability of parts and cost of maintenance.

could you pls send pictures?

women and sweet words, SMH.

It still doesn't stop some of them from cheating.

Dem no beat you well !

You came for wedding, and then straight to dinning table. First things first, sit with (or within sight ) of those that invited you, study your environment (even a chicken knows this better - it raises on leg up o & looks around), ask questions (where you sense confusion), socialise - that's the more reason you are there - NOT for food.

Op, I broke pass you. Pls tell me about the youtube thing. I have more than enough data at work, but don't rally know jack about these things. I don't mind sponsoring some of your data. Come & lets work in synergy, na beg I dey beg you because this my broke levels is becoming very embarrassing.

Pls PM me.

LOL! I'm NOT an agent! but I think this you complain is more or less a Campaign of calumny against Bet9ja! did you ever bother to read through Bet9ja's instructions on Responsible betting - It was clearly stated on their web 'It's just for fun, just a game and they emphasized that no one should EVER think of becoming rich through betting'..Again, it was CLEARLY STATED - DO NOT STAKE MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!'.


Una NO go hear, rather mumus like you will stake Tuition fees, pocket money, borrowed money, even money kept by your parents. Little boy, you deserve serious trashing. . that's gross irresponsibility.

Welcome to week 28
BANKER = 06
PAIR = 15 MUST 16

Pls interpret this thing for Bet9ja users.

I can give you links to quality USA used shoes (still boxed), new and clean, but for other questions, i've got no ideas, it largely depends on your clientele base which depends on your marketing strategies.

Attention seeker alert!

You were 32 when you married and you are married for a year now, meaning you are 33 now.

In your previous post, 3 yrs ago, you claimed 28 yrs old (which means you ought to be 31 now). How come?

Inconsistency = liesssssss

conclusion: story unbelievable, cooked up lies.

I went to their business office in my area around June 2015 to tell them I don't want their light anymore, the bastards told me I have to clear my bill first (the total of all the crazy estimated bills) before I write a letter and they would acknowledge the letter and officially cut me off from their electricity grid...

I left the office and said... fvck this shiit, I am NOT paying one Kobo, let them keep sending me useless bills, I would still not pay.

My current electricity bill stands at N95, 479.97. I only paid N19,000 from Dec 2014 - Sept 2015.

The crazy bill started in Dec. 2014, as at that time I was owing them only N489.47.

The bill will continue to increase o! and then, when it gets too scary for you (around 200k), you'll get more frustrated and leave the accommodation. Another unsuspecting tenant (just like me) will move in unawares...the domino effect continues. I reached an agreement with my Landlord sha - to deduct the paid sum from my next rent, because I paid for what I didn't use.

TheArchangel:
You are just getting to know your husband. He may have been like this all through your dating and you captioned him " Mr generous". Cool down girl and sort the shits out.

I am married to his opposite......the both extremes are very frustrating.

WORD!

ceejay80s:
becos dey gave her target of 100M ,na innocent people go suffer am?

Bros, I don tire for those people. The most painful be say the light no even dey regular sef.

TeOwl:
The motherfuckas have cut my light since October 6th 2015, yet they are still bringing bill to my house...

They cut mine about that same period. Sept 2015. Then I came out. The woman was ranting at the top of her voice, saying that she was given a target of 100million and that my flat was owing 165k. I explained to her that I moved in a few months ago and the debt was accumulated by the former occupant. she bluntly gave me an 'I DONT CARE' response and said I must pay her at least 60k on the spot. So I managed to raise 40k that week and paid it at their office. I was reconnected and given an ultimatum to pay up the remainder of over 130k (plus new bills) on or before Nov, else they'll cut it again. Na so I begin think of alternative sources of Power supply because I no fit raise that kin money. Even if I raise it, I have other probs to solve with cash. I started doing my research on alternative sources/offgrid power. I visited youtube, google etc. I initially wanted to generate power using capacitors and alternators - but that will come with some lethal energy - it could produce electric shock from current leakages - so I declined. Inverters were as expensive as paying up the debt. Na so I do more research o! till I set my mini inverter. Now I'm enjoying it. To cut the long story short, my Dec bonus was used to clear the remainder, because after several visits to their office, they re-assured me that they will provide me with a prepaid meter, within 1 week, if I cleared the debt. I sacrificed my Dec bonus, and had the driest christmas ever! couldn't even afford a bottle of juice because of PHCN. . Up till now, NO prepaid meter. But NO Wahala, I don't even need it anymore - mke them come cut their light.

fabby27:
Are you the man in question cos your ranting is on another level. If that is how you exploit your wife, please desist from it. Marriage takes two to tango and being able to handle and manage money or finances is one of the ways that shows maturity between couple. She works for the money just like you do and if you spend 400k in two weeks like you imply for trivalities. Better repent. Dont let judgement becloud your common sense

You are hungry as always. Go and find something to eat first.

raydatluvs:
hey..... Firstly,I think we should take a deep breathe. That said,you have lost the point of the lady's write up,I suggest you read again and this time with an open mind. The lady doesn't seem to have problems suporting her man. She is only deeply concerned about a new turn of habits where his well paid salary finishes so easily and he resorts to hers. Quite frankly that should call for worry and that's all she is.
Then I think you didn't finish reading my own comment because you would have read I said she should surport him. Am not sure but I think this subject seems to be a triger for you from your comments.

I stick to my guns. I can relate well with this, however, my in experience I never resorted to my partner...perhaps due to ego and again, my understanding of women - they'll ALWAYS mention it. I'm sure OP's husband hadn't any choice rather than to ask her..so I'm not judging him. Again, bear in mind that there are always 2 sides to a story - in essence, you haven't heard from the man and you are NOT in his shoes - so it's a LOT EASIER for you and others here to criticize him for extravagance.

Now my question:

1. Who defines what is 'well paid salary'?

To the OP, her hubby earns very well, but to the man, he might NOT have the same opinion about his take home. I can relate very well with this. Sometimes people around you think your salary is fat. Truth be told, some salaries, despite how good they may appear soon vanish into tin air, NOT necessarily due to lavishing spending pattern, but due to too may dependants and other expenses, self development (professional exams etc), meeting needs at home front and extended families etc. Lets for once, be empathetic, rather than beclouding our sense of reasoning with bias judgements. 400k take home, for instance, might sound BIG, but 'BIG' is largely relative as 400k might not last longer than 2weeks for some people, although it just might be another man's annual income.


2. Is resorting to your wife's support a bad habit? - Again relative, but if I am to answer for him, I can very well guess that he must have tried other means of raising extra cash to no avail. Men who are men will hardly resort to their wives because it takes some ego and pride to be a 'man'. However, this shouldn't really be a problem IF WOMEN STOPPED WHINNING when the money leaves their purses. there is indeed a need for a paradigm shift - women can be back-ups ANYTIME/ANYDAY!

TeOwl:
In August 2015, NEPA brought a bill of N15,400 to my house. My average NEPA bill from December 2014 - January 2016 is N8,400.

I stopped paying after NEPA brought a bill of N15,400 to my house... now, NEPA has cut my light... I only use generator.

I use 4 litres of fuel a day, and I get 8 hours 15 minutes of light from it. My fuel cost is N10,800 for 31 days of generator light that I can control and is constant unlike NEPA that is erratic and sometimes i don't get light from NEPA for days.

For 5 weeks spanning from end of May 2015 to the end of June 2015, there was no light in my group of closes because they took our transformer, yet NEPA still gave me a bill of N6,700.

It pays me to use generator and back up with batteries than to pay my NEPA bill, because I would get more hours of electricity overall.

It's either you live on my street OR you know about my current situation and you decided to bring it to nairaland.

Your narration is exctly my experience, same bill, same story, same months the events occured. I can upload a pix of my Dec- January bill. It ws exactly, N15,200! I just laughed because i know I've defeated them. I have been trying the marketers number. I want her to come and disconnect my light and then i will simply tender a formal letter to her hopeless organisation that I no longer need their light. Last year alone, I paid estimated bills totalling more than N140K. Unbeknown to me, the former occupant left the flat due to PHCNs wahala, and left an accumulated debt of 165K, which I cleared because they promised me that if I pay up the debt, they'll install a pre-paid meter. thius was over a year ago, but till date, I never see prepaid meter, i only keep seeing more and higher estimated bill.

My prayer now be say, make I fit gather just a little from spare cash and get 80-130watt solar which really, shouldn't be more than 20k, and add to my set up for charging it this summer period, then when the cloudy season comes in June, I'll simply revert to charging with gen. I will continue that way until my protest for prepaid meter is granted. For now, I dey enjoy my set-up kampe...na just to add more batteries - which is really optional for me.

Thanking these guys for at least assisting me on this thread, sincerely, I learned a lot from them, no matter how wise or educated u are, there are still so many things u don't know , thank u guys for the wonderful job and also thanking all those that contributed one or two things, and everyone that posted here........
And thanking bobojoshua for always quoting my post and most times quoting without a reply .

Oga ceejay, I doff my hat!

I rarely comment but your post was all silly to me,couldn't resist to ignore. I think we should learn to be objective and put ourselves in the shoes of the writer before writing disheartening things to others. Your closed mind is why you didn't notice the op is the caring wife fight for her new marriage cos this situation could lead to a series of other unwanted one.

Well for my rare 2kobo,I would say you give him but its also inportant you investigate what dries your hubby's good salary precisely so your worries are not uncalled for. It could be something that has a good long term derivative.so it doesn't seem like you weren't supportive when he need you 'most'. Cheers

your sentiments reek of even more immaturity than that of the Op. Just when I thought I had read the worst! Whatever happened to being there for each other? with a smile even when it seems you are the only one bearing all the expenses. A LOT of men out there are sole bread winners, their wives only being 'house-wives'..they do all they can to saddle all expenditure without grumbling, but when it's the women...OH DEAR me! hell will be let loose, and they'll go about like OP, letting the world know how they've been sole providers. It's just plain silly to me...and I think your sermon doesn't even make the situation any better.

What is it with women of nowadays, complain, complaints and whinning everywhere. Before the wedding, many of you did all these, why are you finding it so difficult after the wedding? It's SO OBVIOUS ALL YOU WANTED was the marriage, after which you all bring out your true colours..complaining all over the web for the most trivial reasons. Una well done o!

Op, I think you are loud-mouthed, very arrogant nd so full of your self. Why all these bla bla bla, you strike me like a notorious nag. You needn't all these. Learn to be mature, to bear, to be tolerant and understanding. gooooosh I feel so dissapointed, just try to grow up and STOP whinning.

you dont need an eye doctor. I think you need a good paying job.

why only spinster?

Jahblessme:
Just a quick word before the endurance crew arrive.
Your lack of se xual satisfaction must be adding to your unhappiness,however i have good news for you..peentrative s ex will most likely not give you an or gasm and since he doesn't give oral you are doomed either ways so stalemate.
Go out there and buy yourself a very powerful vibr ator..this is 2016,take charge of your se xual life.A vibr ator will give you an or gasm so strong that you may even lose consciousness . Nicer if you can use with a partner but in the mean time use alone before your brain melts.

You can also stop giving him the oral since he doesn't reciprocate,it's a no brainer.Your choice though.

Discuss your concerns seriously with him and if he still won't budge,you'd best find 2 househelps before you grow old and start looking like his granny.

Car and vacation are useless if you are too wound up to enjoy them.A close relationship where both partners pitch in and feel loved and supported is far sweeter than jetting to the maldives with konji ontop.

Good luck ma & NO you are not asking for too much.

, guy you badt gan! worst advise ever! good enough to laugh it off though.

I think OP is asking for too much sha, women can never be satisfied. So with ALL the generosity, you still care about felatio! na wa! ALL this complain about household chore is trivial..I think the sexual gratification bit is getting you worked up. Take am easy!

Congrats on your new job. For the hubby, PM me joor! how can a pwetty lady like you be looking for a hubby, you should be selecting!
