Radio dey my car naaa.

Chiall:
@Staga. I have been in Barbados since Monday. I will be leaving on Friday. I am around St.Micheals in Bridgetown. Please if you don't mind let's see before I port back to Toronto. Thanks for the valuable information once again. I am grateful. God bless.

Sorry I did not see this. You would have buzzed me via mail instead. We could have met at Sandy Lane Beach or even Massy's on Highway 1A which was close to your locale.

FreeStuffsNG:
Nice and commendable. Please kindly work out the payback time by dividing the N152k by your usual daily electricity cost. If you can do that calculation, you can then start counting if you got value from the investment or not. For example, if the battery and/or the inverter pack up before your payback time then it's not cost effective
As at now, it's too early to say if it's money well spent. I commend you greatly though.

If it can guarantee him electricity to get his freelance work done without missing deadlines and losing customers (which I have experienced in the past), then it is a perfect investment. This is one thing I am getting having lived in Ghana and Barbados. Constant electricity is a must to be able to generate enough economic activity to work and have a good living.

Nigerians do not know what they are losing by not having enough electricity and then having to depend on noisy, environmentally damaging generators.

FreeStuffsNG:
You can actually work out his cost and I doubt if he will incur up to N23K per month.

According to IKEDC,
With the revised tariff regime, Non-MD customers in Band A, with a minimum of 20 hours daily will now pay N51. 22/Kwh. Band B customers with minimum of 16 hours daily will be charged N46. 93/Kwh; while Band C customers with a minimum of 12 hours daily will be charged [b]N37.[/b]

https://www.ikejaelectric.com/notice-implementation-of-revised-service-reflective-tariff-by-ikeja-electric/

Let's assume he is a customer of IKEDC and I factor in the fact that that he already confirmed that he hardly gets light so we can assume he gets for less than 12hours so he pays N37.

His total load is less than 500watts but let's approximate it,

His daily energy use cost plus vat is :0.5kw×12hrsx N37 + 0.075 x 222(VAT)= N238.65


If he takes 31 days in a month ,then his energy cost is N7,398.15 per month not N23K ,then his payback time is 20months 2 weeks(1 year 8 months and 2 weeks).
If his battery and inverter packs up before then or power improves, he just bought a liability. There are some hidden costs like occasions when some of the devices may not function optimally on the alternative power source..
As regards renewable and reference to Germany, then you are not current. The world is still tied to fossil fuels at least for the next 25 years. Same Germany is investing heavily on gas pipeline from Russia to Germany and most of the wind turbines in UK did not function optimally during low wind speed for most part of this month.
I support renewable but we are yet to crack it as an economically viable alternative. OP did well but I would have factored in the payback time before investing in it.

Good stuff. I recently watched an expert analyze this on Bloomberg. Green energy only becomes viable if an economic activity is brought into the mix.

Daddi:
Generator can charge the solar system, right?

Please go back to page 1 and see the OP's second post where he even put up a picture of the 2-in-1 charge controller. Two-in-one means the controller both has a solar charging section, and another to charge using either public power or generator.

kingthreat:
These are the same clowns that refused to negotiate with FG and insist that the youths block the tollgate despite the anarchy looming.
They knew the police will come. Unfortunately, it was the military came to clear the tollgate, but these guys were chilling in their homes at that time.
Now they are rejecting a peace walk organized by the constituted authority of a governor.
Social media has really made these ones important. if not for it, I can bet you Macaroni the skit actor will be doing stage plays in an unsheltered theatre.

Thunder fire anybody wey mention me to insult me. I am entitled to my opinion.

Na you wey thunder go fire.

TMKsouth:
Malawi infects Israel - no South African connection.

Egypt infects Belgium - no South African connection.

Nigeria infects Canada - no South African connection.

This thing's been circulating in unvaccinated parts of Africa because people here can't or don't want to vaccinate.

Anti-vaxers, come see your dirty work o. Soon Nigeria will be banned by half the planet as well.

What a load of bullcrap. Did you not read where it was clearly identified that the Botswana cases were in fully vaccinated people? Are you aware that the vaccines do not prevent people from contracting or transmitting COVID?

Maybe you are just another brainwashed individual interested in silly western propaganda.

TMKsouth:
It should firstly be noted that SA never banned any West African country during your Ebola crisis even though the West locked u guys out. Instead, the country used the same labs that have identified Omicron to help u understand Ebola better.

Secondly, the science is not yet conclusive. WHO protocol is to flag anything worrisome and that's exactly what SA did. Everything else is just the West overreacting and being racist.

Thirdly, SA doctors say so far Omicron has mild symptoms and none of the infected people in SA have been hospitalized.

And lastly, SA President announced today that the country would NOT be tightening restrictions based on his meetings with the National Covid Command Council. They found no reason for panic.

So life is normal in SA and across Southern Africa.

I am 100% with you on this.

This is the exact reason why China hid information about the spread in Wuhan and tried to suppress the information. South Africa did well to tell the world that a new strain is out. The stupid world leaders interpreted it to mean the variant originated in South Africa which is factually incorrect.

The Belgium case never even set foot anywhere in Southern Africa. He transited via Egypt.

So why the falsehood and propaganda?

Sent87:
What Jesus will do is found in Mark 7:11-12
You can use the tithe and offering to help the needy.

Stop deceiving people.

If you cannot spare out of your 90% to give to the needy and decide to use the 10% that belongs to God for that purpose, you are a wicked man with an evil and selfish heart.

Can a man rob God? You know how much a cylinder of oxygen costs? Ask those in COVID isolation wards. Then you will know that you cannot rob the One who gave you free air to breathe.

Giving is not done in isolation. If you do all the giving that is required, but you carry malice or you give grudgingly or with murmuring and complaint in your heart, your giving is unacceptable to God.

Cain gave, but his offering was rejected because he had sin in his heart.

10% of my increase is for my tithe to God. A portion of my earnings also goes to the needy. I also give a portion to my parents, as well as to any church projects as they come. I do not use money allocated for one purpose to pay the other.

Ever since the Holy Spirit taught me this mystery, what I give to the needy as well as the 10% of my earnings paid as tithe have both been increasing. Same with what I give to towards mission projects. Win-win situation for everyone.

God is not a robber. Whatever you do in terms of giving, do it unto God and in 100% obedience and cheerfully.

A big shame to Chelsea that they had to rely on a questionable penalty to draw with a rag tag Man U team under an apprentice coach.

Simdyofficial:
Whether they like it or not- MNK will come out and continue the fight for the liberation of his people- The road to freedom is rough and tough- MNK knew this since day 1. The north will turn to graveyards if southern Nigeria breaks away from it- No sane human will see what this evil govt is doing and still think of One Nigeria.

He is not coming out anywhere. You want us to go back to the era of the unknown gunmen.

ikennamadu1:

I know someone who was depositing N20,000 a week in a bank from this business, more than 8 years ago.

Kenn55:
If this new world order doesn't happen after covid, you will rot in hell for false teaching. You can't deceive people and go Scot free. Mark this post

It seems you have never read the book of Revelation to get an understanding of what is happening.

He needs to up his game. His last two appearances were not good enough.

NovesaTillie:
I moved to this city because of my new job and my neighbors have been very homely and helpful to me especially the ones next flat,a young man and his wife with a kid . They have been very kind to me, sometimes when I get home late from work his wife calls me to join them for dinner and hangouts.

My issue now is I am beginning to grow fond of the man because of how gentlemanly he treats his wife and how dotting he is of their son. He ticks all the qualities that I dream of and sometimes I just feel like inviting him over to my place when his wife is out to tempt him a little.

What can I do to stop this feeling?
I don't want someone else man or to destroy a cute family.

Please don't insult me because I am in a relationship though it's a young relationship and I cherish my man I just see myself falling for this neighbor.

Better arrest yourself. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

ideatoprince18:
Sunday Oliseh should be hired!!!!

He has this no nonsense attitude that I love .... During the Era of Sunday Oliseh there was no"senior man" complex in the team. Everybody was same and everybody played according to their current form. There was discipline In the team also not all this rubbish this youngsters that are not up to even 30 are doing.

What was the product of his hard man status? Poor character management ensured he could not even qualify the home-based Eagles beyond the group stage of CHAN.

mikezuruki:
Sense, you no get. He rebuked a reporter for referring AFCON as little tournament. And here you are calling him out.

I am not sure you understood the content even.

Klopp was the one who made the comment. Na you suppose understand the content.

FreeStuffsNG:
It will be necessary to know the identity of the police officers and soldiers who fell victim and allegedly killed by the protesters. I recall that Mr Jelili Ownonikoko reported that some relatives of the murdered security agents were killed and burnt to death by the terrorists as well.

Everything must be confirmed, must be transparent and verifiable so we don't have another Nathaniel Solomon who is alive and well to be listed among the dead.
For any falsehood found in the report, whoever inserted the falsehood must be fished out and prosecuted for lying on oath.
Justice must be done and seen to be done.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

5 I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.

2 He asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.[a]”

3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”


That scroll will locate you and your household!

Timekeeper:
I don't see how low standards relates to my post... I am saying the money to rent a place is what I can't afford

These modern day men (simps) need to go back to the mental toughness of our dads and granddads.

How can a man be contemplating such an arrangement with a woman he is not married to?

Crystalom3:
I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

So you are not worried about the national security implications?

It is not only in Nigeria where the rich marry the rich. It is an age-old practice. Go check out who the children of Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Hilary Clinton are married to. That is why the marriage of Prince Harry to Meghan (a commoner) raised a lot of eyebrows. That is also why the current Japanese Emperor's daughter had to abdicate her position to marry a commoner.

The cycle is only broken if there is a military takeover or the political system is forcefully changed by whatever means. Then that set of elites is changed with a new set.

Is this not what Obi Cubana should address, instead of paying useless courtesy call to the VC of his alma mater?

See as apprentice come sabi better pass im oga.

Two changes in bringing in Rashford for the misfiring Martial (who should really be sold) and Fernandez brought in as well changed the game completely!

This is a joke. She is into black guys. Check her history.

ThinkSmarter:
Igbo Commoners believe that the actualization of Biafra will bring their sufferings to a halt.
But elite Igbos know that Biafra won't be so easy to get and no body is ready to trade his present Comfort for the eventual chaos that comes with every war especially having learnt from the 1st civil war.
Or are you ready to sacrifice the comfort of your your beautiful one room apartment to go and stay in the bush/jungle where you will deprive yourself of the basics of life.
Get addicted to drugs, get malnourished and face death threats from the government forces?
Are you ready?
Are you ready to die at any moment?
War is a big deal.
You can't predict the aftermath .
It might be devastating.
Are you prepared for it?
Are you prepared to see women being raped by drug influenced rebels?
Are you ready to see education and business
activities grounded?
Are you ready to see beautiful structures bombed?
Are you ready to see children and your aged parents getting sick and starved?
Do you have enough resources like guns, bullets, bombs, aircrafts and combat trucks for war?
I ask again, are you ready?
Or should you embrace dialogue and go diplomatic.
The fantasy of Biafra is like the fantasy of heaven or paradise among believers
There was a country.
#ThinkAboutit

Have these agitators also thought of how to defend their territory from Cameroonian invasion from the east, if indeed they had such a homeland? In 1994, gendarmes from Cameroon wrecked havoc in Bakassi peninsula and many traders who used to go by boat from there to Cameroon to do business had all their goods and money seized. Not once, not twice. Regularly!

Buliwyf:
Lol. By now everyone knows you are a joke. This clown that saw a news about the annual migration of crabs in the Christmas Island and began to lose his mind about the end of time wants to make us think this is another "sign".

We have been saying it here that religion is bad for your health and this guy comes along to prove us right. And he has managed to make a mockery of Christianity more than we could ever hope to do.

Typical Lord's Chosen member. No finesse or savvy. Just crude methods all the time.

Listen to the message and not the conduit.

gypsey:
There is nothing these crooked pastors wouldn't do to confuse their gullible worshippers.
Stage a robbery and disarm the gun man to deceive the ignorant gullibles. What kinda gun man goes into a church?


Why did their so called Jesus not stop the gun man before he enters the church? Jesus must be useless.

Look at this video and stop talking nonsense.

dapadawee:
Do u know that carrying of gun is legal in USA even guns that are more powerful than AK 47. If such is done in Nigeria forget story. More than 1000000 will die per hour

Moreover, the police will become preconditioned to be ready to shoot at checkpoints and there will be far more extrajudicial killings than we are currently having.
