And what was your position or 'stand' on that (Amaechi's refusal) matter then?

geesampower:
Absolutely, based on what he recommended (based on u requesting for a Very basic setup)

But let me add this, at night when there is no sun, putting a tv of about 170w, a fan of 60w and a bulb of 26w, you wont use it for more than 2hrs. Reason is smart inverters wont allow u to drain ur battery more than 50% of their rated capacity. For a 100ah battery the true power over time you can get is 100ahX12V= 1,200Wh divided by 2 = 600Wh. Your electrical load is approximately 256W which gives you 2.3hrs of electricity.

So you need to do electrical lod calculations and work towards what you really want, saving money and at the same time getting a reasonable service from the system.

Bad pastors that I have too often encountered now main objective is to control, rule over even silence the flock through fear and intimidation. In this despotic, institutionalized church system where disloyalty to or disagreement with the pastor or leaders is viewed as the same as disobeying God. Questioning the pastor on doctrinal statements becomes equal to questioning God. After all, the Pastor is the authority, and authority is always right. These pastors even try to commit their objectors to mental institutions. Sadly in real life both God, Good and bad preachers coexist but presently the bad preachers seem to outnumber the good ones.

If you are pretty handy you can buy a 500 watt inverter a 100AH battery and 200 watts in panels and do your connections for about N150k or less

Truth be told....until JK started his campaign, Lagos didnt have Igbos, Yorubas or Hausas. All she had were Lagosians. The hussles and buzzles...the hard life...the struggle for survival...from the bus conductors..to the bus drivers...passengers...commuters...agbero...bla bla bla...they all spoke a common Lagos language...with the common Lagos sharpness...common Lagos alertness and a common Lagos vision...the vision for a better developed, and peaceful Lagos of greater opportunities. This bond had built their drive for prosperity...from Tinubu to Fashola...working hand in hand with a very ethnic rich cabinet...made of pat utomi, joe igbokwe, ben akabueze, and a host of others, lagosians had always been lagosians. But like I said...that was until JK started his campaign.
Just like PDP is known..taking devilish advantage of our differences... Religious differences on a national level, ethnic differences on a local level..and even academic differences on certain occasions...this has been the hallmark of pdp.
Lagosians should look beyond these difference as always...vote for the party that has always offered the best. Feel free to vote Ambode or JK ... But keep tribal diff out of the way...because at the end of the day...everyone shares the same struggle.

For those who say Fashola repatriated some Igbos...I ask...What abt the mad men repatriated to ibadan? And the beggars sent back to the north. Let us stop seeing things from a tribal perspective.

I have been reasoning on this and try to make sense out of it but still can't find any sense in it. So, you lost a relative and then you start crying and the next thing is arrangement for a burial - 'befitting' or otherwise. 'Befitting' burial here refers to taking out time to arrange for the burial: what the obituary poster would look like; the people you'll be inviting; the number of days the burial would take; the live band you'll be using, radio and television announcements and so on. Then, the burial activities start and from day one, you suspend or take a leave break from your work and start welcoming and entertaining sympathizers. Then again, the family members [possibly] get a uniform (usually pure black or white) and use that as a formal dressing throughout the period of committing the death to mother earth. In most cases, the wife of the deceased would have to or be mandated to continue mourning the death with this attire for a certain period of time. Again, either she gives herself or she is given a period that she'll have to mourn the husband before thinking or getting married again. On the other hand, if the deceased was the wife, the husband does not have to or is not mandated to mourn the wife in like manner. Usually, fellow men would advice that he is a man and so he should act like one and move on. After a month or less, they'll begin to ask him what plans he has about taking a second wife that's if he's still in his reproductive age - atleast he is a man and can't continue that way. Apart from these, even if the man decides to 'cheat', nobody ask him questions but let the woman try this during this period. It becomes an abomination. So the death situation here 'favors' the men. Why? Anyway, let's continue.

And now I ask, what were these people doing all these for? Did I hear you say for the dead? Throwing some kind of night party; killing goats and cows to cook food; hiring live band to entertain people; going on a uniform to show that they are truly in a period of grief; suspending their work to fully partake in all activities etc.

The big question now is, who is the death? You would agree with me that the death is someone whose life has ended. And if this is true, it further means that that person has no value whatsoever again. It also means the person lying there is as good as a dead wood. So why the vain honor? Eventhough you burn, bury or throw the carcass into the sea for fish to feed on, it doesn't make much difference. Let's quickly recall how man was made, I'll try to summarize this. The Bible says that God created man from the dust of the earth and then breath into his nostrils and man became a living soul. We can then say that the flesh [or body] that we can feel or touch is just the man's housing or casing to function with here on earth while the real man is the soul we cannot feel or touch which came from God.

And for us Christians, we understand that we died once i.e. when Jesus Christ was crucify on the cross, we died with Him. When He rose, we rose with Him. The life that we live now is therefore eternal. We must understand that physical death does not represent a cessation of life but a transition. Transition here means movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another. So we transit to another realm of life - not on this physical earth realm again. And in the Bible, we are assured of where our lives continue after here - in Heaven or Hell depending on how we lived it while we were on earth. It therefore means that we should rather be celebrating death and not mourn about it knowing that we are going into another phase of life - a higher one. So if this is true, it makes no sense mourning the death. The 'befitting' burial is pure waste of time, energy and resources. It is ignorance. It's the tradition of men. We can define a new way of doing things.

On a typical burial day, there's lying-in-state where people are made to walk past where the corpse is being laid to pay their 'last respect' to the dead and there is crying - some by loved ones and others from people whom the death was indebted to before he passed on. So they are just crying because of their money which is now gone with this person. And then, you look at the coffin - a casket running into millions of naira. This is money that is enough to pay WAEC fee of more than 200 students in a secondary school - just wasted for almost nothing. In some cases, if the deceased wasn't a church goer, the family would have to 'buy' a church to come and conduct the burial. Why are they doing this? It's simple, they do this because they believe it must be the church that must bury the dead. And I ask, what exactly is the preacher preaching on the burial day? Is he preaching for the lifeless flesh lying there or he is preaching for the people there? If preaching for the carcass, what for? Can the dead hear? On the other hand, if preaching for the people, is that the right place? Must the preacher even be the one who conducts the burial on that day?

And then the preacher prays for the dead and ended his prayers with Rest-In-Peace to the dead while others echoed. What's that one for? To grant the dead a repose of his soul or the body that the ground is going to eat up? Which exactly? Because I see nothing that is going to rest in peace here. Life continues either in Heaven or Hell for this person.

I can go on and on but I want to stop here. My message is that we should stop this waste. Let's stop this tradition of men. A family can meet, arrange and bury their dead within days. Whether you put the dead in a coffin or wrap it up and bury, it makes no difference. The costly coffin is a total waste. Please channel that money into profitable venture. It amazes me to see that some people would spend so much to organize burial for the dead - pay for live band; pay for church; pay for coffin; pay for all sort of things just to commit a lifeless body to the earth and they do all these with mourning all through. What a life! And at this time, if you try to crack jokes with them, either them or others would tell you that this is mourning period and hence no jokes or laughs. Everybody is in the mourning mood. Some could mourn for 6 months; some 12 while others forever. They become emotional attached to the dead and then familiar spirit begins to appear unto them and they'll say it's the dead coming back to hunt them or trying to tell them something. This is not necessary my people. Don't cry for anything. Don't sink yourself down because of anything. Rather you can choose to celebrate knowing that death is only but a transition to a another realm of life. I know you won't be seeing the fellow again but crying doesn't make sense to me.

This is how I think. Are you in support or against?

Heyllo Sir, you can simply request for the new e-book that contains it.


Thanks.

maxit2:
Not funny

Am happy for change. I am however NOT happy at all that the person everyone is celebrating is General Buhari. This guy doesn't have the capacity to govern.

But the overall victory for Nigerians is the fact the election was relatively peaceful and that we were able to oust an incumbent government. That is a plus.

Had APC fielded a better candidate, i would have been the happiest man on earth right now. Anyway, i will just sit and wait.
Let's see if Gen. Buhari will send the likes of OBJ and Tinubu to jail.

If those two remain free men, then he Buhari should shuttup and die.

Hmm this is what the yoruba's call edi,and some people call it remote control......
But then again with the understanding that the physical controls the spiritual one has to be careful these days not to become a tool in the hands of the careless thoughtforms flying around.....
Its especially sad considering she wasn't a troublesome person....

The total vote in Akwa Ibom won't be up to 300,000 this is what we said. I have friends and former colleagues who.still reside in Eket, Oron and Uyo who voted in the Election.

There was large apathy in the election and there is no way Akpabio would have won because the Abak 6 group of local government government comprising of Ibibios Re against his usurping of the rotational senatorial arrangement with the Ikot Ekpene Annang group.

Same with oron nation, PDP stole ballot papers, incident forms and results sheets based on info I got so far.

He has 422,000 plus votes out of 439,000.registered voters, just wait and watch how this result is thrown.away.and he is removed from the senate after finger print authentication.

What they did in Rivers, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Cross Rivers is what is being played out here.

Watch out for 1.4million vote for GEJ out of 1.41million.registeres voters soon 99.9%. They never learn how to do things in moderation.

They are so used to the rigging they lose their senses doing it. No state across Nigeria have recorded a 95% turnout since yesterday but here we have a 98% vote for just one person. Let see how effective INEC's Automation and Finger Print authentication for ballot papers work.

Way forward is to vote buhari. Let niger-delta hold thr oil, we gonna go back to our cocoa plantation, groundnut pyramid, cotton nd textile, cassava planting nd many more.

Oil is d problem of Nigeria.

If PDP likes make den use juju, I will still Sai Buhari on Saturday.

Flets:
If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country. 

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investment will seize in all sectors.And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc. 

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015.

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished. 

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face


Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt . Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!
