PHCN still the best and cheapest. Only that it is unreliable. I use all together with Solar electrical appliances

Yes o... PHCN is the cheapest, but when the tariff gets high, it's better one have the solar on ground before the cost of installation will be out of the reach of the common man.

The news on the front page about possible tarrif increment by discos, High cost of Fuel and gas to power generator.... If your home is just an average power user, just get solar and rest.

Within the last 8 months, a lot of things have changed in Nigeria and it calls for one to adjust financially. As Nigeria is now, every naira counts, there is no room for wastage.

So with this news of tarrif increment, cost of fuel and gas, it's better to get solar panels to power your home.

I got mine middle of this year with less than 400k. So when you factor in inflation, maybe 500-550k will do the work, including labour.

I got
3 180w panel
1 1kva Inverter
1 charge controller
1 150Amp batter.
Wire fixing and other logistics...

Every is less than 400k. The solar carries everything in my apartment during the peak of the sun, though I don't have heavy appliances but it carries my fridge fans and TV.

Then at night, if I use only lights and one fan, it could last till day break. You can get rechargeable fan to argument it.

The charge controller and inverter I bought are for high capacity, that way I can add more battery and panels to it when I have free fund.

Try it, and you won't regret it.

Another promise again...

The 35k wey dem promise, dem don pay am?

You see this bolded part is the reason why lots of landlords profile prospective tenants but the landlords are called harsh when they say they don't want this, that, they want working class, young couple whatever specification they state they want, its from experience.

Just one wrong tenant can give the wrong people access to the compound and land everybody in trouble if care is not taken.

If they give this woman quit notice now, they will say landlords are wicked.

Comot eye oo, let the mama pay for the consequences. If it was a mama that has been cautioning her daughter it's a different thing entirely.

Just know that those boys will probably rob one of the other flats in the compound, if they continue associating with that girl, it's just a matter of time.

Lots of parents of young adults are failing these days

Stay away from contributing as the Caretaker has said.

You just said the truth ... And that's one of the best way to keep ones compound safe.

Lots of parents are really failing in their responsibility, especially if it's just the mother. Am very sure, if the dad was to be fit and around, he won't condone such.
Imagine sometimes I come back home around 9:30 10 then I will see the young girl still outside with the boys and the mother is comfortable with that.

Bro, how is your conscience treating you? Is it okay with the whole "mind your business" stuff? Will it not judge you harshly if you don't help? In most situations, I do things that satisfy my conscience, and there are times that I regret following it, but I know deep inside that it would have been worse if I hadn't listened to it.

Forget what people will say or think; do you, do what is right.

The lady is still in the age of unseriousness and will likely regret her actions in the future. This very incident will teach her a good lesson if she has sense, so please help if you can. If a certain police officer minded his business in 2015, I would probably be in prison right now wasting away for something I didn't do.

Looking away always sounds nice until you are the person being ignored.

Forget the mother; she actually doesn't have one.

Do you; it might be your worst mistake or the best decision this year, but you'll never know if you don't try.

I agree with you. Me I have always been someone who takes action to fix it correct things. When I started noticing the girl hanging out with those guys, I was really concerned, cos i knw it won't take time before she lands in trouble. But what is more worrisome is the fact that the mum knows about it but refuses to caution her daughter.

This issue of mind your business is actually causing more harm than good in the society.

Tallesty1:
You know, I used to wonder if people who post certain things online have parents or people they respect, but then it occurred to me that some of them are already mothers with grown-up children. So yeah, mothers say worse things.

One day, a lady came home with long braids, and the mother's concern was how her boyfriend would cope during doggy. She voiced this concern out loud, and I overheard it because I was outside.

Wow.... This one shock me like Buhari.

Stevenbright:
Majority of Nigerian mothers are like that nowadays.

Not majority sha.. But more of modern days mothers are like that. They don't care what their children does. And if you try to correct the wrong of their children, you become an enemy.

Klass99:
It is funny how folks are often quick to say mind your business BUT when they themselves are in a mess or bad situation they desperately wish someone will help them and not mind their business.

For instance, when it is raining or about to rain, the same crew of mind your business will want you to help them with a ride in your car or help them bring their clothes in from the line. When they jam wahala with police or SARS now, they will want others to join them in seeking justice and fighting their fight. They will not remember to say mind your business in these situations .

I write all this to say you did nothing wrong by voicing your concerns to the mother because that girl was courting the sort of trouble that could affect all of you in that compound. What am I even saying sef, her interaction with those boys was already affecting you guys, because they were repeatedly blocking the entry and exit point into your compound with their presence and by refusing to move for others to conveniently pass.

On the matter of contributing money to help the mother PLEASE MIND YOUR BUSINESS, do as the caretaker has asked and stay out of it. Let the mother plead with the property owner and explain to him that she has no money, her continuous pleading may touch the guy's heart and he may withdraw the case. There is a lesson to be learnt in all of this by the mother and daughter, they may not learn it if you guys rush to bail them out.

These neighbours also sound like the sort of people who can be ungrateful, the sort who turn around to bite the finger that fed or helped them.

Thank you my brother.... See everyone saying mind your business... mind your business when the result of their action is going to affect everyone.

UnfairLife7:
LoL

i guess you're not mentally stable or you're reading from upside down

E reach to ask my brother.

Lamanii22:
Can you imagine…. What type of mother is that? In life maybe we should just mind out businesses…

Minding of business is good, but this isn't how we grew up. Back then, even a stranger can correct your wrong doing. Now all we hear is mind your business.

UnfairLife7:
Jesus


I don't believe a mother can say that...

seems this world is truly coming to an end o

Generally on our part, we don't usually allow people into our compound anyhow. And it seems like these guys are using the girl to gain access and hang around our compound. Within us as neighbours, it became a concern for us but we thought that soon it will stop. But it keep getting frequent. I just asked the mum that question because a concern mother shouldn't allow her daughter flow with people like that.

I didn't know that I will be embarrassed by her.

Foodqueen:
Mind your business.

I can't imagine that u actually went to say that to her mother. Isn't she aware about what's going on before

No matter how much you try, that girl no go ever look your side, there are some girls that are destined to date bad boys, she's one of them.

U thought cos u are a cool guy, she should av been chilling with you ba

If u like part with your money cos u av the hope that she might start dating you. OYO.

Mind your business before them naked you for that house.

I want to believe that you didn't read my post well before you typed this your reply. I have important things to do than to even think of following a lady. This is one of the problem with you ladies, when a guy shows a geniu concern towards your wellbeing, you automatically think that he's trying to "get you".

So if your neighbour sees a family member of yours following criminals, he should just allow her be because correcting her means he want her to be chilling with him. Uwa mmebi.

Lady, not all men follow things under skirt.

Continued....

One Saturday, me and another neighbour just came out from our compound, only to be hearing shout from those boys that "we can't do them anything, that we don't have the right to tell them not to stand at the front of our gate, that if we do anyhow, we go see anyhow". We just neglected them and went away.
Later on, I learnt that our caretaker warned the mother to tell her daughter not to be standing at the front of the compound with those guys. So obviously, the girl went and told the guys about it that's why they were raking.

On the on Friday, 22 Dec, I came back home to hear the news that the girl have been arrested in connection to a stolen item and even though the item have been found, it was found in a bad state and the owner is insisting that they pay him for damages before he can withdraw his case. Police are saying that they can only release the girl if we pay the owner the money his requesting for,as the boys claimed the item spoilt at the girls hand, but for the boys, they will be charged for breaking into someone's residence to steal an item.

Now the mother have been begging us to help her raise money to pay the owner of the item as she doesn't have enough. But our caretaker is saying that none of us should donate a penny to her.

I just feel as though we should help her, but all the other neighbours are buying the idea of the caretaker that we should stay out of the case.

Greetings to you all...
Pardon me, my write up will be long.

A little intro.
About 3 months ago, we got a new tenant who packed into our compound. A family of 5, three daughters and the parent. One of the daughter is married and the father blind and stays in the village. So we have just the mother and two daughters staying in the compound.
The elder daughter is around 24years and has a job that takes her out of the house, but the junior one doesn't have, she stays at hine 247 and shes about 20-22 years.

There is a guy just opposite our compound and he's group of friends. By just looking at them, you will know that they are upcoming yahoo boys but they never blow. So for me, even though as I see them everyday, I do my best to avoid them.

The main issue.
Not up to 3 weeks after our neighbour packed into our compound, the younger daughter start hanging out with the guys. Almost every minute of the day, the girl and the guys will be seated right in front of the compound for hours even late into the night.

At time, they will stand right in front of our gate, of someone wants to come out of the compound, the won't shift for you. You will have to be telling them to move or you just pass by "dodging" them.

I was actually concerned about their relationship, because me I see to those boys as criminals and that girl isn't supposed to be relating with them. If say them done blow, I for understand, maybe the girl is getting some money from them, but those guys have nothing to offer. Not even meaningful advice.

One day I came back from work, they were at the front of our gate. I have to wriggle my way in as I don't want to start having any form of conversation with them. Then as I entered, I saw her mum seated in the compound and I jokingly said to her "Aren't you worried that your daughter is always standing outside with these boys"... and she said to me, "when you married your wife, was she always inside house, abi you no wan make I pikin see husband".... I just laughed it off, but I began to mind my business from that day.

NapoleonHill:
That girl who wanted to break up with her boyfriend for being a violent Arsenal fan go chop beating today if she never break up.

Lol.... anybody wey fit reach her, make them call her make she comot from house before the boyfriend come back house.

I am here to learn ...

.

Tomorrow some people will come and tell us that there is no igbo in Delta State.

Assuming na early this year Una meet when arsenal lost the league to man city... him for break your leg 😄😁😄

People are dying, politicians are chasing clout. This fight and reconciliation between woke and fubara doesn't in anyway add to the value of the masses or the state, yet precious government time and people resources are been wasted on it.


This country is such a massive joke.

I just have one question to ask...

As a gov, is it that they don't have the constitutional power or authority to "summon" or "command" the military and police in his state to launch an operation against criminals within the state.

From this govs statement, criminals are within the state, can't mobilize security men to go after them.

Modified
The gov said terrorists have occupied some communities for a number of years. What was the past gov doing. What Haas the military done about it. So all the while that soldiers were deployed to Plateau state during the election, there where communities under terrorist control. This country is just a huge joke.

SeeWahala:
When it comes to igbos they can never try to calculate talk more of miscalculation

After wetin we do them before plus our readily armed guys on ground the Fulani herdsmen don dey save money to buy scientific calculator

Quota system math no fit help them again for igbo land. Let them try the southwest

It will suprise you to know that Fulani armed men are all over igboland causing havoc. Especially kidnapping.

ESN still have a lot to do.

This life no too hard. If the boyfriend is cheating, just leave him and find your peace of mind. There is no need for stress.

Who fall coach ...

Abomination.

Sallah...

Two more goals for Liverpool.

There is every tendency that what you are feeling in your ear has nothing to do with the drugs you took.
You said you are a welder and the machines you use are noisy. It's possible that your ear problem was about to start that very day due to accumulated effect from the noise of your machine.

Visit hospital and explain to doctor ensure you tell him about the machine you use at work.

This is why it's always good to have doctor friends, so that you can easily call and seek for advice not necessarily coming in Nairaland to create a thread.

If there is super league, football won't be interesting again. Watching big teams playing each other every time won't be interesting. Initially people will enjoy super league, but over time, it becomes boring. Let those pushing for this super league should just rest and allow football continue as it is.

Even in championship league, some big team don't make it out of the group stage and that's part of why football is interesting, small team demolishing big team.


Super league will now provide big team with more money and then they buy up all the good players and the small teams won't be financially buoyant again to buy even average players.
