Phones › Re: Suggest Good Powerbank And Prices Abeg by Scientheosopher(m): 1:33pm On Jun 09, 2024

Besides brand and capacity, you should also consider its charging and discharging watts. You don't want to get a powerbank that takes about 24 hours to charge fully and only outputs 10W when your gadget can accept 33W, for example.

On brand, I recommend Redmi. I have used Redmi 10000mAh powerbank and it served, as expected— that's, specs-wise. When fully charged, it charges my 3020mAh battery powered phone twice, with some percentage remaining in it. And that's how it should be, as the true capacity of a powerbank is 2/3 of the stated capacity. So my Redmi 10,000mAh is actually only ~7000mAh.

Redmi Note 13, as you would get similar performance/feel.
If you decide to go for it, get the 8GB RAM variant because Android has gotten heavier.
For sweet deals, you may check the Xiaomi Thread Store.

You bought expired golden morn. Trash it and move on. Everything must not be on social media. You normally bought at Amazon, so why did you come to Nigeria to buy? Rubbish and Bobrisky

He said it hasn't expired!
And even if it's expired, should there be weevils in it when it's tightly sealed?

I hope that some day you'll drink an expired substance, say, medicine, so that you'll understand why he is alarmed.

AmadorSays:
nice idea, but I hope things don’t get more expensive by then.

Just as you save money even though you know you may die in the next second, you should also save even though you know the price of phone may go up.

The trick then is to not lose hope as you save. Because nothing beats getting a better phone, especially in this harsh ecomony; you don't want your phone to trouble you. Besides, you will likely use it for a whole 3 years!

#I hope so too.

Says the man who was the major reason pGEJ lost to pMB shocked

Yes, pGEJ erred in the way he handled the Chibok girls issue, etc. But pOBJ should have known, considering, for example, his strong and rich military background, that these incidences were largely initiated by certain devilish desperate elements who wants to take power from his political son. So he shouldn't have written that letter and torn his PDP membership card. Because the person who would likely take over from pGEJ is a known disaster!

And as long as APC remains in power, there will be no new better leaders.

It seems the recent many complaints has made them to sit up, as I have been able to access my account. So you may retry now.

If it's login/password reset issue, uninstall the app and reinstall. Or better still, install with another smartphone preferably one with a more recent Android version. (The later is what I did and it worked. Whether it made it possible, is what I don't know).

For those doubting if kuda has issues,just check their Facebook page,and see so many people complaining about similar issues. Some of us are relaxing until it reach our turn. Just like it happened to me few days ago, I did a transfer, kuda debited me twice, and did not reverse the money till now. I've been contacting kuda since,but no response from them. Honestly, I regret using this useless kuda. If only our normal banks were functioning well, who will even think of all these Mfb's.

Kuda is scam.

If you want assistance on this drop your WhatsApp digits then I'll link you to some techy person of mine that'll guide you to retrieve your kuda account access.
After that you can then use the details in your account to file a legal withdrawal or remittance of your hard earned monies locked there in.

If you are having issues with your app, you should have simply come here to ask for help so that those that have had similar issue can assist you with how they solved it.. since you said you weren't satisfied with the redirection from the WhatsApp back to the app..

Calling for a boycott of a digital bank because of some personal issues with the app no be am.. what would you now call for those useless conventional banks..

Two things could perhaps be wrong here: your BVN or NIN is not yet verified

This is what I think you should do..:

Login to your kuda app.. click on the 'Hi, name' or photo at the top left..

Scroll down to NIN(identification).. click on it..you would see your info that hasn't been verified yet that needs to be. Click it and provide your correct information as requested and submit.. wait for them to verify (may take a few minutes to hours)... and your account is good to go.

I have both BVN and NIN submitted and it's showing the green approval sign yet the account WAS still restricted.

I used WAS, because the situation has worsened. Now, I can no longer login as it keeps saying username or password is invalid (NOTE: The login details are correct as I carefully wrote them down before logging out) and this happened after I logged out.

I have tried multiple times to reset my password to no avail. The link that's sent via email took me to the Create new account/login page. There's nothing like fill Old password and then New password, as it be.

Kuda Bank is currently restricting some customers account, claiming "Some of your Kuda account information doesn’t match the details of your BVN, so we’ve restricted your account based on Central Bank regulations"

And the links/means they gave for rewiewing/correcting details isn't helpful. After providing the requested information, they still don't unrestrict it. Seeking helping via its X (Twitter) and email is largely a waste of time and energy as you would be directed to the same unhelpful app/method.

Now, the reason, which wasn't specified, for restriction is rather strange in my case. Information in my BVN is the same as that in my Kuda account, except residential address and maybe, next of kin. Are these really enough to warrant restriction?

NOTE: I have been contacted through WhatsApp but it's a typical robotic apology and redirection to the app. It's seems customer service is zero.

14/5/2024_MODIFIED: It turns out the impossibilty of resetting password has been an issue! The video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsoV6UmhNLA?si=AElQonsusjt3AOD2 on its YouTube page about resetting password is a scam. Check the comments years!

UPDATE: 26/5/2024
I'm pleased to inform you all that I'm now able to reset password and do transfers.

I hope you know when money is involved, a man posing as a woman is already a red flag. Even if your project ends up to be real, 98% of us here will still avoid it just for that reason. We don't need a second reason. Also, the way you push it at any opportunity is a second red flag.

Anyway, the reason I don't rebuff you is because I have been in your shoe too. I have used (f) but it was for fun. I have also promoted my books aggressively and it paid off. For this, I'll just let you do your thing, but have it in mind that 98% of us already see too many red flags, but we just don't want to attack or abuse you.

If you can add about ₦50K, any of the following phones should serve well.

1) Poco F5 8+256GB for ₦390K @Macbeyland at https://www.nairaland.com/post/129590338 (sweetest deal!)

2) Samsung A35 6+128GB for ₦387K at https://www./samsung-galaxy-a35-5g-6gb128gb-awesome-lemon-295937049.html

3) Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G 12+512GB=N390K @Macbeyland on the same first link.

Wow! I would like to know more about the grading system and the brand of the inverter. And if possible, the disadvantages of this setup, especially in relation to future expansion.

HeavenlyBang:
290w*5= 1.45kwh

Including idle consumption and other miscellaneous power draws, let's say 1.8kwh.

Eseentually, you need two 150aH tubular batteries at the very least. That will run you 400k+ right now.

Your budget just isn't enough, I'm sorry. Raise it to around 800k and you may be able to sneak by. There's a guy who just advertised a Smarten hybrid for 290k.

That said, though, you may be able to get by with used batteries, a sachet inverter, and a pwm cc.

OK.
Thanks a lot.
