In 2015 election postponement was announced on the 7th of february saturday, a full week before the elections slated for 14 february.
The reasons were
*To improve the security situation in the country by battling the Boko Haram

*To allow space for more nigerians to collect their PVC's

In 2019 elections were postponed on the 16th of february on the day of the initial elections slated for the 16th of february. The reasons are
*Logistics!

Based on Logistics

5thElement:
Reminds me of when Jonathan postponed the elections too.

I'm sure the same people who defended that postponement will be the ones who will shout the loudest now, and those who condemned that postponement will defend this one.

Nigeria is a banana republic.

1. The elections were postponed because of the insecurities in parts of NE Nigeria.

2. The elections were postponed a week before the D-day.

The Ultimate goal of this ridiculous postponement is to disenfranchise millions of Nigerian voters.

The search is still on. Again, I could do a two bedroom. I already got someone willing to share.

Wow, 12 in 4000 seeds germinated. I know the agbayun seeds is difficult to grow from the seed especially if you've licked it. However I sun-dried some and it developed into seedling. The air-layering is an interesting method, I hope to try it soon.

Does it work for all plants?

Jakumo:
Thanks for checking out this topic, Whirlwind. This technique works 90% of the time, but it is essential to water the newly removed rooted tree branches heavily at the time of transplant into pots, to ensure there are no air spaces around the new roots. Copious watering will also greatly improve the quality of the cloned plant, over subsequent weeks. It is NOT advisable to plant a cloned branch directly into the soil, as it may dry out. This is why an intermediate stage of nurturing the new clone in a pot, is best practice, for this method.

As an example that testifies to the efficacy of this tree reproduction method, I bought 4,000 ( four thousand) seeds of Miracle Fruit tree, from an online seed retailer in Florida. I planted those 4,000 seeds, and was shocked to see that only 12 (twelve) of those seeds germinated, and grew into trees. My online research on this tree, called "Agbayun" or "Agbayunkun" in the Yoruba language, confirmed that it is virtually impossible to grow it from seed, and it was that discovery that set me on the path to learn a better and more reliable method of propagating trees.

Miracle Fruit, when eaten a few minutes before a meal, can be used to "trick" the taste buds into perceiving even sour foods, such as lemon, to actually taste sweet, as though sugar had been added. These fruits are therefore a life-saver for anyone on doctor's orders to remove sugar from their diet. Ironically, the Miracle Fruit does not taste excessively sweet on its own. Nature is full of such wonders, as I discover time and time again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum

To cut a long story short, I waited patiently for those handful of Miracle Fruit trees to reach maturity as fruiting trees, and then proceeded to make cloned copies using the technique outlined in my first post above. Most of those trees are now thriving and fruiting abundantly. To obtain faster root production inside the plastic bags used to contain soil on the parent tree, I ordered root hormone, sold under the trade name Clonex, which does work as advertised, when smeared on the peeled branch surface, triggering the production of roots much quicker, and in greater density, when compared with the clones produced without the benefit of the hormone.

Another tree that is virtually impossible to grow from seeds, or from cuttings, is Barbados Cherry, or Acerola, whose fruit contain orders of magnitude more Vitamin C, than is present in Oranges. I have also been able to multiply Acerola tree with no problems at all, using this process of air layering, exactly as shown in the above videos.

Over to you, Nairaland farmers and gardeners. Try this method, and give us an update when your success with tree multiplication takes root, as it were.

Thanks

Oshomo12:
I don't want to belief the panels are 100w @ 24v, it should be 100w @ 12v with a current of ~ 5.7A. That should be the reason for 2*2 config. So at that, he should see around 11.4A (all things been equal, which can never be!). From the pics, I will multiply that figure(11.4) by an efficiency of 60%, ie 11.4*0.6=6.84A. So the current he is seeing is about right.

Note: Those batteries are going to die very fast! Kindly do the needful(buy a 'cheap' 15a 100v mppt Fangpsun CC and connect the 4 panels in series; with that wire gauge am seeing there).

Thanks. I will have another installer to do this

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Oga Roolnaado,

If I may, I believe your battery nominal voltage is set at 24v yes? And your 1.5kva inverter is also 24v?

If that be the case and you have 4 pcs of 24v nominal panels, there is no reason to be using a 2 x 2 config with a PWM CC - essentially you are wasting the power of 2 out of your 4 panels.

100w at 24v (30VmP) is about 3.3a per panel so seeing 6a combined as you reported is just about right with your current config.

PWM cannot use the excess voltage potential you have created by putting two 24v nominal panels in series - it is just wasted power. I believe Oga Saipro already advised you should put all 4 panels in parallel and this is what you need to do.

You should be able to see about 10 to 12amps total from your 4 panels in a 4 in parallel config under optimal conditions - this is what I believe you have to do next to progress this...

Update

Hi all, thanks for all the contributions saipro , dmerciful and efuro. I called the installer to complain about the low ampere the panel is supplying. He replied saying the arrangement is okay but the wire he used could be the problem. He changed the wire yesterday but there was only marginal increase in amperage(6a). The panel is unaccesible (nailed on the roof). I am at a crossroad because I have already spent a lot of money

Saipro:
His system is small enough for the money spent on a new CC to be better utilised by a larger PV array. Or so me thinks (below 1kWp, MPPT barely outperforms PWM, assuming the typical 24VDC nominal, short cable runs, etc).


Understood. If the panels are accessible, those info should be pasted on the back. Your installer cum supplier should otherwise have those figures.


The post came after mine. I had no way of telling, at least not from the info previously supplied.

Hi, I'm a newbie, and I don't know these ratings. I am doubting the installer that's why I want ask for more info here. It's a PWM controller. I will tell him to do a parallel configuration.

Thanks

Saipro:
He means your PV panels (IsC, ImP, VoC and VmP). What are the ratings. I however suspect you have PWM controller with your PV panels needlessly arranged in a 2x2 configuration instead of all in parallel. If that were the case, you could double your incoming current by merely breaking the current config and placing them all in parallel.

This is the cc reading

DMerciful:
As at the time you recorded 5A as the CC output, what is the battery voltage reading, the panel input voltage, was the inverter charging via mains?
I'm not talking of your system specifications

OK, I will check it in the afternoon and post a snapshot. Thanks

DMerciful:

The battery is 2 100ah 12v, according to the installer he said the panel is 100W 24v, I have a 1.5kv inverter and the inverter is charging via phcn

DMerciful:
We don't know if it's OK or not, give more data
What is the voltage of the battery? What is the panel voltage? Is the inverter charging via mains supply?

Hello house,

Please help me clarify if my solar panel output is okay. I have 4 100w in 2x2 arrangement. I am getting a maximum of 5a reading on the solar charge controller the afternoon. Is this OK?

Thanks

Can i get an estimate for this

hucienda:
This election has exposed Nigeria's fault lines as Atiku is in a Catch-22 situation.

Imagine him picking a SW VP and going to campaign say in Onitsha or Aba, folks there would be like ''so we are good for just votes and not the office abi?"

Imagine him picking a SE VP and going to campaign in Abeokuta or Ibadan, folks there would be like "why should we move from certainty (as we currently have the VP) to uncertainty?"

Analyzing both scenarios his safest bet would be to pick a SE VP, as that would give further drive to folks from there across the country to the ballot box since it would be the first time in 20 years since the dawn of the Fourth Republic that one of theirs would be on the ticket of any of the major political parties and secondly, since there is hardly any incentive for the SW to leave their current VP and 6-state APC regional stronghold to vote for the PDP. Also, recent historical data of votes from the region always shows a split in the votes not like the block votes of say the NW, SE and SS. Atiku needs his data analytics team to crunch the numbers and hedge their bets to make the right, optimal choice. Good luck to him.

My bro

Only staunch SW Apc supporters will think of voting the Apc come 2019. Most SWners are fed up with this present case. A great example is the osun election despite the ruling party's visible manipulations

I want to give a thumbs up to mayorall


I had to buy a combo pH meter for my prog. I needed it urgently as I am about to go on the field. I got the product i wanted on aliexpress but shipping by DHL was $54would take 10-14 days. So I did a search on nairaland, to search for express shippers, I finnaly settled on Mayorall, because of the good reviews on him.

I had never an online business transcation before, with my heart in my mouth I transferred 152k to his account, hoping to get my product in a few days time. I got my product although a bit late with everything has expected.

This is confirm he does and is still doing good business.



PS: Mr mayorall you need smooth out some kinks in the delivery

Open Heaven 3 December 2017 (Sunday) – TITHING IS TRUSTING
Memorise:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
Bible Reading: Proverbs 3:5-7
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

To experience exploits in your life, you must have a personal relationship with God. You must believe that He lives and love Him with all your heart. You must also learn to trust in Him.
The command to pay tithes on your earnings simply places a demand on you to trust in God. Your response to this command shows the level of trust you have in Him.
If you can pay your tithe correctly, it shows that you trust God for your livelihood, but if you find it difficult to be faithful in doing this, it simply
shows that you trust more in your earnings than in God to sustain you.
After l became newly born again and we were taught to pay tithes, l laughed and said in my mind, “These people do not know that I am a mathematician. If 100% is not enough for me, how can 90% be enough after I have paid 10% as tithe?
Thank you very much! Even though these people are not educated, they still want to use their smartness to take 10% of my income from me. Let them try and take it. However, down the line, God convinced me by Himself and I observed remarkable changes in my life. In those days, I was a lecturer in the university. I had a car but was afraid to drive in Lagos, so I got a driver.
At the end of the month, I would pay my driver his salary, but by the middle of the next month, I would have to borrow money from him to buy petrol (gasoline). This happened month after month. I continued to struggle with my finances and even had to spend all my earnings.
However, when I started paying my tithes I suddenly realised I did not need a driver anymore, because boldness came from nowhere and I could now drive myself.
Also, did not have to visit hospitals again because l now had the Great Physician as my doctor. My children did not fall sick again, and that leakage in my finances was blocked off.
All of a sudden, doors of opportunities began to open to me because l trusted the Lord. Are you still struggling with tithing? If you are, it only shows that you do not
trust God to take care of you.
The truth is, whatever you are paid may never be sufficient to meet all your needs because you are limited to that source, whereas you are open to various devourers.
In contrast, when you tithe, you will have access to resources beyond your income because God’s storehouse will be opened to you, and He will also block every source of losses in your life. It is a matter of choice. Why don’t you start trusting God
from today by paying your tithe faithfully?

To everyone saying it is in reaction to the tithe dilemma. This topic was not written this year.
