At the end of the day, a solution remains a solution, cost or not. You and sammyonal were saying something about solar not being affordable for everyone, cos it is expensive. Japa sef is more expensive, but guess what even a poor person can japa now...it just entails huge debt, but hey the end justifies the means, same with solar. You don't have to have a mega setup, you can come up with a setup that works for you.

In my house, I only have two batteries. I have been using it that way for over 5 years, I no add batteries or create any mega setup, cos it is not necessary FOR ME, and i still have light on demand since I got that inverter setup as small as it is. This year, when light was terrible at some point (heck, even till now) I decided to add solar. Oya ask me say how much. Lol. I didn't break bank, I just bought one 300w panel and hooked it to a battery, as a sort of charging station, that way at every point in time, a battery is fully charged, and when full just swap with the other so it can charge kinda like swapping bottles on a water dispenser. Is it serving me? Hell yea!
Did I break bank, Hell No! How much be my 'solar setup'? 50k pere. The only thing nepa is important for is my deep freezer,and the Inbetween light wey dem still dey give dey still do the work, and even that gan I go buy one 75w small size deep freezer like that wey I see for one of our church member house, and then I can fully say FU to Nepa if I want..lol

OT and perspective matter gan babe, esp in this emilokan times. Imagine to dey sleep inside darkness or heat in this emilokan times..Omo!!!

Poco and gloriousgbola has said it all but let me just spice it up. U see that Ur set up is just child's play, u think that's what I mean by solar installation? Nah. Nah rechargeable lamp u wan charge abi which kind set up be that. We re talking about government giving Nigerians stable electricity so every body won't need to generate lights by themselves. Why re we now paying tax if ordinary electricity can't be fixed, sufferness no dey tire Una ni? Now back to japa, yeah to travel out is expensive but have it in mind that u re not going there to play cos of gbese wey dey ground, u re there to hustle Ur ass out and pay up Ur debts which Is far better if u re focus. For here light no dey go ooo, e stable die to essence of me asking some crazy questions that how do they do it, light is not a problem here, so my brother people re suffering in nigeria and the government need to come up with a plan so that people can smile and be happy. God didn't create us to come suffer but we human beings are the cause of our problems.

GloriousGbola:
in 2015, a 200ah deep cycle battery was 50k. in 2017 it was 200k. no deep cycle battery will last more than 12-18 months, if you are lucky, especially if they are not stored in air conditioning. and the deep cycle battery is the lowest end of energy storage, unless you are going for actual car batteries.

you do not 'hook up' a solar panel to a battery. you need a controller. that will transfer power to the battery. you also need an inverter that will take power out of the battery. the cheapest inverter then in 2015 was the mercury modified sine wave. by 2017 it should have become 50k or more. the pure sine wave inverters out there start from 100k

it is only a person who has not operated or owned an installation that will believe these stories you are making up. more so when you will be subject to the vagaries of bad weather if your sole source of energy is the sun

on top of that you will only get power efficient equipment [fridges/freezers) if you buy recent models of fridges and freezers. not the used or repaired ones

pocohantas:
Soon enough they will tell us to raise our own army to tackle insecurity and call it solution. Give people light and let them manage their consumptions to match their pockets.




They always make it sound so easy on paper. Inverter AC is almost 300k for 1.5hp currently. Inverter microwave almost 100k. Inverter refrigerators nko? On top how much salary? Will you blame people for choosing to japa than installing solar?

Treadway:
is it your child's play?? You don't set standards for me or anyone else. That is a blind, dumb and stupid thing to do. I live in my house and was proactive enough to take measures to ensure I have electricity on demand. My generator is in a store ffs! When power supply worsened and fuel shot up, I figured rather than bring out the gen, I'd buy a panel, and I drew up a simple inexpensive plan. Just one panel and as long as the sun shines, I have energy stored in batteries for my use for as long as I want now, even if Nepa wants to be unfortunate e no bother me again, generator remains in the store, family is comfortable and have light to do things, and you say it is a child's play?. Who died and made you an authority on standards? It just shows you don't know anything about practicality. I'm a businessman, so cutting costs and being practical yet still achieving desired outcomes is what I do everyday. It's like that suffering you suffered before leaving Nigeria is still giving you PTSD.

Silly talk, those that can't or don't want to japa should not sink borehole in their house but be waiting for Nigeria to provide them water. The water wey dem provide yesterday for their papa abi. Be living in lala land. Mtchew


I hate senseless chochocho. Go and force Tinubu to give you all electricity and make Nigeria Eldorado OR You can as well pay the flight ticket of just two people here as your contribution to japa, AS a man who doesn't do child's play. We are talking about how people who can do something to make their lives easier can actually and realistically do it without breaking bank, this one is talking stuff without heads or tails...

sammyonal:
hahaha dey play, at least where I am I don't need to dey carry solar panel up and down because I wan generate electricity for myself and family. One quick question sir, can Ur solar carry iron and air conditioning system?

Iphones are more expensive than any of those inverters you mentioned but Nigerians are using it,
walk into any territary institution and you will find kids not even up to age of that 1st abortion using iphones & jbl
Honestly i don't get your rant, what is unrealistic is waiting on Nigeria govt to provide essentials and what is feasible is Nigerians taking there own destiny into there very own hands
Mvmv brazillian hair is over 100k and slay mamas are wearing it, solar is yet to tick that box called "show-off" or "trendzee" thats why the demand is still on low

rest ijn

This is the land of my birth. I love Nigeria land of freedom. If there is no job create one for yourself tax free, if there is no electricity mount Solar panel and get power, if there is no water sink borehole. I just love the freedom here.

1. Rubbish trash nonsense . I work in medical feild and leaving Nigeria was the best decision I ever made.

2. Today I have a clear plan to achieve my goals .

3. Leave them alone , you are all like the OP are bitter and angry and want to hold others back!!

4. Fellow Nigerians ignore these people and focus on your plans

2. Only today you have a plan? Before he left he had a plan and had achieved his goal in the medical field. You don't know if you will achieve your goal.

3. Only a fool will see this as discouragement and not learn from what he said.

4. Many do ignore such people ... focus on their plans ... and when they arrive only to find out that their plans cannot be carried out.... people who don't look before they leap.

Treadway:
congrats on where you are..

Quick answer. My solar can carry my inverter AC which I don't even use on the inverter cos my mist fans do the job just fine with less energy consumed (I already said this twice but your closed mind didn't allow your eyes to see that). Even your fellow abroadarians on the UK thread are mindful of their energy and water consumption despite availability of the water and the electricity, but you don't say they are suffering or call their meticulousness child's play.

Quick question, do you iron every minute of everyday? Cos I don't. When there is light, I iron, and what's more I only iron sometimes once a month. What else? Ok to further prove that you are the typical unidirectional thinker that is clearly only problem oriented but not solution oriented, even if I go off-grid and i want ironed and steamed clothes, can't I just pay a laundry guy to do that? How many people that are the typical working class or even anyone of my status even iron their clothes themseleves, if no be say I naturally have OCD and like to do most things myself for best desired results, sotey I don turn DIY expert. Simple solution is give a laundry guy to do the ironing like most people in even present day Nigeria do. That is the so-called problem/question you could throw at me?? Smh

Once again, see how this nigga has turned a simple statement on solar setups for homes that can actually be beneficial info to someone somewhere into a Naija Vs Abroad argument.

Dem use am swear for una ni? You people say solar is virtually unachievable, and I have said and shown even using myself as an example that it is very achievable if you cut to the scale you can afford, which will still work for a good number of people. SIMPLE!
Why must everything be so hard for y'all to comprehend for God's sake?

Ok let me speak in elementary terms maybe e go enter ya head. Most people can't afford japa, but they still japa anyway. The solution? Loans like the ones you took.
Most people can't afford large complex solar setups with many panels and many batteries. The solution? No loans, just a smaller setup with more focus on prudence than extravagance, just like even you do abroad do with water and electricity. People on this same Nairaland ration the use of their heater in winter, why dem no on am all day everyday, so th whole world can know they are living the life. Switch On everything in your house every time and everyday na, ain't no one stopping you.

Can you for the love of GOD comprehend that basic and elementary point??

pocohantas:
A 50k solar setup is not a solar setup. That is if at all it is. Which rules out your 50k solar setup. National grid remains the first solution for most Nigerians, not 50k solar that can't carry fan or refrigerator. Most people need light to do their businesses, keep their food fresh and not allow heat rashes finish their kids. A 50k solar setup cannot do all that.

So stop suggesting solar for them. A good solar setup that can imitate NEPA cost good money. Not like you buy it once and it runs for life. You guys just mention solar at every turn like we all don't know of this solar.

Yes, a good solar setup is EXPENSIVE.

The Inverter in my Lagos apartment is 450k & I don't even dare to use it for a fridge or any strong appliances to prevent it from running out quickly. Na only Laptop & fan I dey use am for. The cost for a proper solar will definitely be a lot.

Nairaland is currently in it's lying regime at the moment, people come to lie unprovoked & when you debunk it, dem go dey vex.

If there is a solar that can imitate Nepa for 50k, I will even invest in the business, purchase like 20 of it & resell. I will be rich before December.

I will even create a website for it & add shopping cart

You could have just asked her out like a man, as long as there will be food & TF, i am sure she will turn up instead of jumping like puma cat into a "conservation" you clearly had no profound understanding about.

They think solar is something new or alien that people have never considered. Any small tjing, install SOLAR. One would think they have been able to replicate it in their houses and that of their parents as it is "50k".

Please, ignore Adefemi Akano (Kayperry) and his numerous accounts (Chidiokay).

Now first of all let me establish one fact , I do not care about your life choices, I personally find these japa topics and the back and forth comments on it to be very amusing. So when I open topics like this it is strictly to catch cruise. Nobody is discouraging you to japa so please save that mad talk. With that being established let’s proceed with the story

Dr Peter is a very rich man in Nigeria who had a medical practice and a big house and three cars. He was doing very well. But the japa allure came knocking at his door. So he sold everything he owned and moved to Canada. This is his story. It is full of regrets. He said he has discovered the whole thing was a mirage and that in Canada they work you like a machine and you never get to enjoy your job and they take all the money back in taxes and that you can never save. His advice to Nigerians is that if you are very stable in Nigeria do not attempt the mistake he made. In going through the comments of the video are people like him with similar regret stories of selling it all and going to Canada. One commenter says he looks back at selling all his property to japa as a form of madness.

Anyway enjoy the video and let us know what you think about Dr Peter or what he had to say

Rubbish trash nonsense . I work in medical feild and leaving Nigeria was the best decision I ever made.

Today I have a clear plan to achieve my goals . Pls all those of those who have been deported and banned from entering foreign countries or those who can't afford to travel should please stop disturbing people!!.

Leave them alone , you are all like the OP are bitter and angry and want to hold others back!!

The energy you use to source these stories why not use it to source stories of people like me and my friends who are doing very well abroad

@ topic ... he made some very good points that most do not expect .... these developed societies are regimented .... programmed ... you must begin work at 8 a.m ... no excuses..... you must take a 10 minute break at 9 a.m .... do whatever you want... but must be back at work 9:10 .... then lunch .... 12:00 to 12:40 ... no excuses.
