It a one off project but the battery aspect is not one off

igbonla:
It is worth it, and you should go for it if uninterrupted power supply matters to you and you can afford it.

I have been 100% off-grid for almost 2 years now, never going back!

n3xt:
Yes but that doesn’t mean Nigeria isn’t ready for it.

We need protection but we need to always remember that we are building 250 naira cement-sand blocks that can be opened with cheap demolition grouts (chemicals) out there.

Security starts with our designs.

topsy23:
You should be ready to spend money boss. Since your solar is going to carry AC, water heater etc

SolarConsultant:
Good morning Thread, it’s such an amazing time getting to learn a lot on this platform, this is to me more like a request to help in educating us about building roofs for the future of energy

Having been in the trenches of energy production from the sun, and by consistent study on the types of roof people use, I have actually observed they didn’t build with sun energy in mind, because of the slope, slants, geo-coordinates facing, and we should know well that the nearest future of energy generation for buildings is a sole or personal power generation, and the more we are critical about building to get the best energy from the sun the better and cheaper for every building or home, this is why most people spend a lot more than their friends, just because of no future mindedness of their roof as against generation of power from the sun.

I intended to help educate us on how to make the best out of roof styles and choices, before completing our buildings. This is really key, because generating power from the sun requires space, and most buildings don’t have ground space enough to cater for that, all they have is their roof, so why not take this as critical

Can I go ahead with this for the next few days, with detailed information and instructions before roofing buildings to make the best efficient use of it

Is allowed... The burglary keep it secure from petty Intruders... Most shops outlet in shoprite Alausa that did internal burglary didn't get bugled during the Endsars protest... Many shops I know withing Awolowo way at ikeja that did buglary after glass got protected to a certain extent..

We leave in an insecure country... Households should be well reinforced to keep Intruders away.. All this minimalistic design are good for developed world.. But not Naija...
I can't imagine myself sleeping in my bedroom and have tappered glass surround me and I will sleep well... ko Jo o...

..

Both statement above means the same thing to me...

If you building a storey building with glass rendering, it should be done in area with enough security like an estate where hoodlums don't exist... because only glass rendering is just like easy access for Intruders...

this explains why we introduce metal burglary proofs in our glass windows in typical houses..

Chekitaut:
Bros 1.2m with repairs & maintenance our responsibility


Brand new 1.4m

OGA N3XT.... YOU MAKE MY LAUGH IN SPANISH ....

PROFESSIONALLY I WOULD HAVE FINE YOU PROFFESIONALLY FOR YOUR STATEMENT ABOVE THAT "BROKING HOUSE IBADAN IS MADE OF GLASS"
* READ UP.. TYPES OF RENDERING OF TALL BUILDINGS.
THE TWO POINT I RAISED WAS
1, STRUCTURAL INTERGRITY OF A BUILDING SUBJECTED TO WIND LOAD WHICH HAE BEEN TAKING CARE OF ALREADY BY THE ENGINEER DESIGNING... SO BRING IN WEATHER CONSULTANT EXPERT YOU INTRODUCING IN YOUR WORKSHOP YOU ATTENDING IF OF NO USE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

2, DUE TO SECURITY CHANLLEGES IN THE COUNTRY, I SAID USING OF BREAKABLE GLASS FOR BUILDING LIKE A STOREY BUILDING IS NOT ADVISABLE.. BECAUSE IT WILL BE EASY ACCESS FOR INTRUDERS IN NIGERIA.. DO ME ONE FAVOR, BUILD A GLASS SHOP IN IKORODU ROUND ABOUT FILLED WITH CEMENT.. I BET YOU.,, 24 HOURS IS TOO MUCH FOR IT TO BE VANDALISED BY HOODLUMS THAT NIGERIA GOVT HAVE NO DATA BASE FOR.


NIGERIA IS A DEVELOPING NATION... ONE EXAMPLE IS.......THERE ARE SOME OLD BUILDINGS WITH WOODEN SLABS.. WHY HAVE WE ADANCED TO RCC SLABS... THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTION I EXPECT FROM YOU..

THAT A BUILDING HAS A GLASS RENDERING DOESNT SAY THE BUILDING IS MADE OF GLASS. SEE THE PICS WELL.. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE GLASS RENDING DID NOT START FROM THE FIRST 3 FLOORS.. ASK WHY??

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS WORK IN BUILDING IS THE MOST ESSENTIAL IN REINFORCE CONCRETE STRUCTURES LIKE TALL BUILDINGS.. THERE IS CALLED "CORE"OF TALL RCD STRUCTURES. WITH THE CORE OF THE ABOVE BUILDING NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED BY A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER... THE FINISHING WORK OF USING GLASS IS OF NO USE....

OGA NEXT... I RESPECT YOU AS A CONTRACTOR WHICH YOU CLAIM.... BUT LEAVE THE PROFFESSIONALISM FOR THE PROFESSIONALS..

WE ALL NOTICED SOMETHING ON THIS TREND... THE PROFFESSIONAL ARE NOT REALLY GETTING JOBS... YOU KNOW WHY... WE ARE NOT TRAINED MARKETTERS... AND ALSO CANT TAKE NON SENSE FROM CLIENTS.. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIENTS IS WORST... AND WE BELIEVE THE JOB WILL FIND US... WHICH IS AFFECTING MOST PROFFESSIONALS... NOT ALL

BUT YOU A CONTRACTOR ... YOU ARE MORE THAN A TRAINED MARKETER.. YOU HAVE POSITIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH CLIENTS... AND SEE FROM CLIENT'S PERSPECTIVE... WHICH AT THE END IS AN ADVANTAGE..

LET ME STOP HERE....

It's not her actions that are unbelievable. It's the superstitious beliefs attached to her actions. If she gets her sexual kicks by putting her breasts in a snakes mouth, that's her problem. But in Africa, everyone who had any sort of mishap in the past two decades will suddenly decide that she's the cause. And before you know it, the superstitious village people will bring out the machetes and pitchforks, old tyres and petrol and kill the poor old lady.

That is what is dangerous about such superstitions.

RisenPhoenix1:
I've never heard of so much rubbish. Is that old mama lactating? Are snakes even able to digest milk? And is that python able to kill a full grown person?

sameks08:
in Africa nothing is impossible and that's why the white sees us as devil replicate

RuudVanNisteroy:
The Church has no role in enforcement of state laws.

mastermaestro:
Oga, shut up! You sound dumb trying to be smart. RCCG has done its part. Face your government!

mastermaestro:
Oga, RCCG does not have power to determine who ends up in prison. Focus your full attention on your government. The outcome of this case totally rests on your government, not RCCG. They have done their bit by blowing the whistle. That's all!

RuudVanNisteroy:
2023 elections is just around the corner. Money must be raised for election campaigns for APC at federal and state levels.

Polyglot7pointO:

RuudVanNisteroy:
Total cost of the contract is 797 billion.

RuudVanNisteroy:
You need to learn how to count. Even the article you posted from unknown online sources shows the total distance at 397KM, which still amount to N2 billion per KM.

Abuja to Kaduna- 165km
Kaduna- Zaria - 75km
Zaria-Kano - 157km

Fashola is worse than his former Chicago drug baron godfather Tinubu.

Rugaria:
Unrecognized websites with news items from 6 months ago..
The story I gave you is recent..
Stop juggling facts..

Rugaria:
Google the story.. different news media.. Fashola is corruption personified..

RuudVanNisteroy:
What is there to research? The Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano 375km road was awarded at N797 billion at a cost of N2.1 billion naira per km. This is contract for rehabilitation and not even building a brand new road from scratch.

Rugaria:
Agent Fashola is solely responsible for settingg the standard of using over 2 Billion naira to do a kilometer of road. That man is fantastically corrupt! Very very evil! If it was in saner climes, he wouldn't even have passed the Senate screening committee! This is a man who deported fellow Nigerians from one state to the other without the backing of any law or court...,the same man was caught on tape suggesting that those "who list the war should not be treated better than those who won the war".., the same man who in the height of his uncouth outbursts, told folks to "go back to their villages" if they're not going to obey his orders! Same man that tore down markets in the wee hours of the night while folks were in their "villages" for Christmas, allowing Awawa boys and one million boys to unleash a looting frenzy! A totally corrupt Tinubu lackey who sold Lagos to his drug peddling godfather should never have been made a minister of any serious country..

RuudVanNisteroy:
Took Lagos state corruption to federal level, per cost KM for federal road projects now N2.1 billion naira

RuudVanNisteroy:
The project was awarded for N600 million in 2010 when the naira was still somewhat strong against the dollar. Redeemed executed that same project when naira had crashed for N188 million in 2016.
