Highly recommended.

@Cokebar
Good morning,
Are you available?

noeloge82:
Keep it up they are looking good

@noeloge82
Greetings,
Please where/how can I get foreign turkey?
Day old or not more than 4 weeks old. I need about 4 to 8, depending on the cost.

Thanks for your help.

Redomi:
Noeloge82, talk to him, he will assist you

Thanks. I will do that.

Redomi:
.
Thank you sir, I'll keep updating you .

I planned to buy more to make them 20 in total and rear them till maturity and sell them off.
someone told me I can sell them at 3-6 months. But I'll like to keep them for a year with my local turkeys

geloorrrrdd:
The latter. Besides, transfers is the least of my worries. Have you tried withdrawing from the account recently?

Sterling.
No, I will confirm that tomorrow or by Monday. The issue with some bank branches is that they hardly have foreign cash available for withdrawal, this is partly because the demand is far more than the supply...

geloorrrrdd:
Which bank are you using?

Is it that you don't believe this or you want to be using the bank?

If I'm able to make that transfer, you should be able to do same in any bank.

geloorrrrdd:
Look this link up: https://www.nairaland.com/6138438/cbns-dollar-restrictions-killing-businesses

Apparently, you can't withdraw inflow cash from your domiciliary account. So, if you receive payment from US, UK or any country, you'll have to change it to Naira before you can withdraw.

You're also restricted from making transfers from your domiciliary account.

Anyway, I don't know about cash withdrawal for now, but I sent some fund from my domiciliary account to another domiciliary account yesterday, and the recipient received the fund within a few minutes.

geloorrrrdd:
Please, is it safe to save huge cash on Payoneer?

If no, can someone suggest a better option?

I'd have preferred saving on my domiciliary account, but the recent CBN policy doesn't sound good.

Please, what policy is that?

mctfopt:
Kindly contact installers here. Even if they can't make it to your location. Even if it involves paying a fee, some of them can help you get what you want. Then you can get an installer your end to do the job. My first panel was four numbers of 130w panel. I used MPPT CC. Never used a PWM CC and I wonder if I ever will. I doubt two solar panels (probably 250w or less) will be enough to charge two 12v 200ah batteries. Unless of course your load is like 50w or less.

Edit: I just saw where you said the solar panel is 280w, is that the size for each or for the two panels?

Thanks for your response.

It's actually 280w each, but I've decided not to go with the guy again, because of the responses I've gotten so far.

Valto:
i talk am say na quack . imagine recommending unknown brand of 200ah agm(probably 150ah in reality) and
just 2pcs of 280w panels and a 20A PWM, with the usual 2.5mm wire ,
the elders are coming to recommend a good setup for you, only if u will agree to save up, and go for durability. u need atleast 800k.

All right Sir.

Thanks. I'll wait.

Oshomo12:
For your 2.5kva with two 200ah
1. Mppt CC, 50A, 100V or 150v
2. 1,000w solar(recommended)
3. wires, 6mm(panel to cc) 13/16mm cc to batteries
4. Never chop off panel MC4 connectors
5. Circuit breakers for panels, fuse, both dc and ac SPD's. Etc etc

Thanks so much for this.

Please do you know of any person that can get this done for me? And can I have a rough idea of the total cost?

Oshomo12:
Hi,
Pls RUN!!

Thanks. So what will you recommend?

Valto:
better contact professional solar system sellers/installers here, than this your seller that is suggesting 2pcs 280w panels, for a 24V 200ah system, he will end up giving u substandard 200ah batteries, modified sine wave inverter and a crappy 20A PWM CC. he is probably an inexperienced seller who just want to sell his market and nothing more

Thanks Sir.
So I asked some questions from the man as advised by @ceaser and I got the following information from him.

Brand: Soccer Power Inverter

Type: 2.5KVA Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Battery: Altimate Agm 200Ah, 12VDC High Quality. 2 batteries.

Panel: 2 panels (280W)

Are you going to use MPPT charge controller?
No. I will use PWM Charge Controller
The MPPT is meant for multiple solar panels, like 16panels, While the PWM is meant for 2 or more.
Is this information about the charge controller correct?

Also, please what's your advice on this?

odimbannamdi:
Maybe i didnt learn my digits well, but shouldnt 6 figures be 100,000 to 999,999? So if he gives you a 6-figure price for a 2.5kva, 2×200ah batteries and 2 panels (you need to clarify the watts rating), it isn't a bad idea, as long as it is within the lower range.

Please correct me, if possible

Thanks Sir.
He said the panels are 280W.
The quote is actually in the mid range (around 500) but I'm yet to negotiate, I want to get an accurate information about the reliability of the system first, before negotiating the price.

@ceaser
Thanks so much.
I will ask him the questions, and feed the house back with his response.

About the load issue, the priority now is on the laptops, TVs and decoders, and the bulbs, and of course charging of phones.

I can still be using generator for pump, printer and co.

I asked him earlier about the rating of the panels, he said 280W.
I will ask him the other questions now, and get his response back here.

Thanks and God bless.

Valto:
4pcs of 380w or 6pcs 250w panels

Thanks Sir.
Please any idea of the cost range for the complete system and installation?

Valto:
just 2pcs of solar panels for 2pcs 200ah batteries . bro the seller no sabi anything.. to enjoy your system, u need atleast total of 1400w of panels and a 60A mppt CC.

Thanks Sir.

Please how many panels will that be?

ojeysky:
Ah! This one na power house o it's certainly inadequate, you will need a budget of 6 digits to achieve this and 1 will not be the first number sef. So what was recommended to you is grossly inadequate. However if that is your budget then ditch the following:
Refrigerator, freezer and pump.

Thanks for your prompt response Sir.

Yes, the critical devices are the laptops, printer, TVs and bulbs. We can use generator for the others.

So with that, do you think the recommended system is ok?

Just curious, at the bolded, do you mean the budget be 6 or 7 digits?
Because the quotes I'm getting is already of 6 digits...

zeestone99:
Your load determines The number of panels likewise batteries for night-time use. Your panels should be able to serve your load and store enough power into the batteries for night time use.
You can call or chat us for proper load estimate and quote.

All right.
Thanks Sir

ojeysky:
It all depends on your load and what's the capacity of the panels?

Thanks for your response.
I will ask him about the capacity of the panels.

The house is 4 bedrooms with home office, we have the following (possible) loads;
3 laptops, 1 LaserJet printer, 1 refrigerator (not deep freezer), 2 standing fans, 2 TV and decoder sets, 1 submersible pump, about 10 bulbs or so.
I don't actually know the actual power needed for each of the loads, but I'm not particularly interested in powering all of them with an inverter.

So Sir, do you think the recommended system is ok?

Greetings all,
I needed a solar inverter..., so after discussing with the seller, he recommends that 2.5kva would be best for the workload.

I'm a complete novice, so I want to be sure that I'm getting the best.

The seller gave me the system specs as follows; 2.5 kva, 2 batteries (200Ah), and 2 solar panels.
I was thinking that the solar panels should be more than 2. Is that correct?

Also, please what relevant questions should I ask the seller before making payment to be sure that I'm getting the best?

Thanks in anticipation for your help.
God bless!

unity004:
my noilers are now 5weeks old. they are now consuming alot of feed (1 bag in 1week 5days). please house, with what do you supplement your feed ratio?

Lovely birds!
You're really doing a great job feeding them.

What's their average weight at 5 weeks?

moyin2009:
@Softheart where is your farm in Akure.

Actually, I don't have any farm, I'm a first-timer with no prior background in agriculture. I'm currently using my backyard for the birds to free-range.

Also, I'm actually experimenting with the birds and they're for family consumption for now, maybe I may start a farm later for commercial purpose if this work out well...

I guess you have a farm in Akure right?

mojid22000:
There should always be a small opening that serves as a ventilator, cut out a small opening at both sides of the carton to make the air circulate
And the carton should be closed

Thanks for asking, my chickens are doing great
I hv put them in the cage with the rest but they always seperate themselves from the rest
They are about 5 weeks and 3days
They looked bigger than the ones hatched a week before them
I think maybe its because they have a cockerel father

When my noilers start laying
I plan to build a larger incubator with 5v fan and experiment with that, still looking for a bigger carton that can take up to 50 eggs

Thanks. I will do that.

mojid22000:
Just an experiment oo
Not a standard incubator

I got a larger carton, put an indomie carton in it, cutting open one side.
I line the bottom of the indomie carton with a towel.
Put a lantern on the opposite side facing the side I cut opened
I placed the thermometer/hygrometer on the towel to measure the temp and humidity, that was like a day before placing the eggs
I had small water in a plactic placed beside the lantern
I regulated the lantern till I got the ideal temperature 100.5 but it fluctuates a lot even after been stable for a long time so putting an eye on it is a must
Turned eggs three time a day
Raised humidity to 60% on the 18th day, though it has always fluctuated between 48 and 52%
Ibhad a hard time raising it but I did it and to my surprise the eggs pipped on the 19th and hatched on the 20th

Will build a better one in the future by God's grace
I have forced air incubator in mind.

Greetings,
Please how do you ensure fresh air circulation in the incubator?
Did you left the bigger carton opened or closed?

Also, how are the chicks from this incubator performing currently?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

popoopeyemi:
Yes they are pure breed..
You can chat me up on WhatsApp for videos
09075258018

All right, thanks.

popoopeyemi:
available sir

Please are these pure or crossbreds?
I would like to get a rooster and 2 hens. Could you deliver to Akure and at what price?

Neyoohpompy:
I am still in "No level"...yeah, I mean "No level".....I started last month though..I only deals with American and European clients and always ignore ranting Asian clients....I have tried them and they always give me tough time. I earned $1k+ in 2 weeks.....And for what I do, I won't share it here. It is a special giggs and not all this website and logo design. I always have few clients, but i bill them high. My least is $250

Good morning,
Can you kindly tell us about this special gig?
It may help some of us...
Please.
Thanks in anticipation and God bless!

Farouq94:
Their weight is very okay, so you don’t have any thing to worry about, save for the needed calcium when the hens start laying. Try mixing in maize offal with the millet.

All right. I will do that.
Thanks very much.

Farouq94:
Wow. Never experienced this before. Maybe they are not used to eating formulated feed.

I had similar issue whenever I will buy a local chicken from the market. They will shun the feed at first, but they always come back to eat later on.

It's strange to me too, but they eat millet and guinea corn very well, as well as kitchen food waste. I'm worried they would have grown bigger [and heavier] if they had accepted formulated feeds.

At about 15 weeks, the average weight is approximately 2.4kg, the biggest rooster is 3.3kg while the smallest hen is 1.9kg.
I'm new to farming so I don't know if this weight range is okay for their age.
