I will check later when i get home. Thank you so much for your time.
Do you deal on solar?

No.

Prayfortheworld:
My 200l freezer, my 50inch smart TV my 1.5hp inverter AC 2

I actually meant the power rating of these appliances. They are written on a white paper attached to their back, and it is denoted by Watts or W only It will look like 400watts or 400W etc.

Prayfortheworld:
If i budget 2m for the purchase of solar that can power everything will that be enough?

It depends on what you want to power with it, I will have to know the equipments you intend to power to know if it is possible. When you use generators you can't expect I pass my neighbour to do what a 10Hp generator can carry, that is how it is with solar too, bigger consumption more solar kit needed.

Prayfortheworld:
thanks sir if i buy enough battery and solar panels it can power everything both Fridge?

Solar can power anything you want, I mean anything even a car. The question is do you have enough money to do a one time investment on it. We have factories, hospitals, companies and banks running solely on solar how much more a single individual consumption.

Go for energy efficient fridges in place of the old fridge to cut cost, but that wont be an issue if you have enough money.

Prayfortheworld:
Is their ac with DC current?
Or can solar power inverter AC?

There is Air conditioning units that run on DC current but I don't think they are available here in Nigeria. Saw some on amazon and ebay.

Solar panels can also run an AC inverter but this will depend on your battery capacity and if you don't have a battery then you have to have enough panels to power them directly when it is sunny.

Note: Solar can power any appliance be it an industrial or household appliance, na money dey talk.

Lots of people had quoted me saying, "it's not good for gen". But, do I have choice? Coming down from the third story building to put off gen around 2am looks somehow to me.
@bold, there's change over inside the house.

Buy a wire that can run from your room to the generator, then open the point where the on and off switch of the generator is located. Connect the wire in place of the switch and then keep the switch in your room. You can then off it as you wish.

Prayfortheworld:
What's DC

DC is Direct current, AC is alternating current. Solar panels produce DC current, while generators and alternators produce AC current. Read more on the difference.

shortgun:
Solar is always good when people talk about it but in practice in doesn't come close to what people say.
You stylishly didn't talk about the expensive batteries that will need to be replaced after few months of use, the inverters that blow up appliances.

Other countries that are embracing solar as you said are doing so through solar farms on grid level where every necessary components, equipments and machinery are put in place and adequately monitored by professionals for optimal performance not on household level like we do here.

What do you say about faulty generators that damage appliances on daily basis too? My phone charger got roasted by a generator and even a standing fan too.

Buying an inverter requires a good model and proper installation too, it also requires knowledge of maximum load of an inverter too. Same way a generator gets spoilt when you overload it is same way an inverter gets damaged.

As for the battery, all batteries are not equal, most people buy the normal car battery and use on their solar installation which is wrong, go for a solar battery meant for solar panels. Each battery has a charge cycle that must be maintained, most batteries have 500 charge cycle for the cheap ones while the stronger ones have 3000 charge cycles.

Also it is advised to switch to DC appliances as against AC appliances for more energy conservation. You cant be using a 2500 watts fridge when we have 300 watts fridge with same capability, using an AC fan of 150 watts, use 30 watts DC, Use a 700 watts DC pressing iron instead of a 2000 watts AC iron, use a DC air conditioner instead of an AC energy wasting air condition.

Note: Most people that do solar installation for people have little knowledge of how the systems function.

Prayfortheworld:
E Dy carry your AC chairman

All appliances that use electricity have an AC and a DC version. If you want to go solar it will be better to buy all DC appliances to conserve energy. DC appliances are known to use half or even 1/3 of energy consumed by their AC conterparts.

shortgun:
Most people shouting install solar panels up and down on this thread don't have it or use only the small ones that can power only fan and TV for 4 hrs.

It doesn't make sense for someone to spend 1m naira on solar power system yet it can't power ACs and freezers, it's a total waste of money.

3k Naira fuel daily in a medium size generator will give steady power for all home appliances for one year with that 1m naira.
Nonsense solar power

You did not mention that each solar panel you buy has a 25 years warranty compared to your Generator that has 2 years. Solar is a long term investment not short term like your gen. If you have one million for fuel per year it is not bad to go for a solar system of 4 million that will give you what you want. Countries are moving into solar, they are not drunk they are simply seeing what you fail to see.

When you add generator oil and maintenance, plus the fact we have few good generator engineers you will end up spending more than one million a year, then add it to the price you bought the gen too.

fabianiyobosa:
Stop talking from both sides of your mouth. While you blame America for leaving Afghanistan for "beasts", you mock their effort.

Posts like these are the reasons why I wish America will just mind their own business even if the world is burning.

Yes, America should mind their business and focus on providing security for their citizens that are being slaughtered daily by fellow Americans. They should also seek for economic solutions to their borrowing to survive economy and leave others alone. They should also look into mass shooting/terrorism going on daily in their country that has become normal occurence.

Just took out 17k USD profit. I feel like doing small give away. But I need to give it to people that will appreciate it not jok[ers like Denreledave

I am number 1 on the giveaway list abeg. I believe you.

A slap results to a slap in return, not bad at all. It is called self defence reflex.

Parachoko:
After the war in Ukraine end, and a peace agreement is signed, and Russia withdraws her Troops

Will all this sanctions be lifted or not?

It will be added as conditions for seize fire. Even the sanctions are not followed by parties involved, even American companies in Russia that withdrew before are back in business. Biden wont feed the international companies after disrupting their source of income.

Toktee:
Russia will be at the receiving end while the US has a way of compensating its citizenry through her viable economy while russia will not be able to do so with her economy standing on one leg.

Says who.

Seized Russian Oligarchs’ Assets Could Be Used For Ukraine Aid Under Senate Bill

Jonathan Ponciano

TOPLINE
A bipartisan group of senators unveiled legislation Tuesday that would allow the government to seize and sell assets of sanctioned Russian oligarchs to help raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine

Russian have also passed a bill to sell all assets of foreign companies in Russia that fails to resume at a set period. All assets seized from Russians in US will be recouped from selling their own assets in Russian territory. Collateral damage at the end.

Toktee:
It is very easy the US with the aporoval of the senate or executive order such assets can be sold and the proceeds send to the victim.

You also forgot that US big companies have large assets in Russian soil running into billions of dollars that they can't afford to lose. Only Mac Donalds have 900 branches, what will become of the buildings and equipments in them. Its not easy, boss.

DREAMZZZ:
ak 47 is better then why did America inflict serious casualties on Iraqis and Afghanistan even Ukrainians are inflicting serious casualties on the Russians if e sure for putin make him remove shelling...... carry the army go 1 on 1 for Ukraine.....if any go return alive

Why wont America inflict damage on Iraq and Afghanistan when they are dropping an average of 46 bombs per day on them. If Russia do same on Ukraine na thousands go dey drop. But guess what, Talibans are now in charge again after 20 wasted years by american troops.

tradepunter:
I can never because it's tit for tat... You kill my people via terrorist act I come after you and kill you
..

But you if you not careful e dy easy to mark you... Nairaland server that is been hosted in Yankee with weak security protocol...

Go and sit down with your server thrash. You think you are talking to a kindergarten kid or what.

Theunbothered:
I criticised them

You are too stupid to apply nuance and think anyone against America is good.

Ode.

21st century illiterate, go and play with sand, kid.

Theunbothered:
I know, did Biden force Putin to invade Ukraine?

Is Biden the one currently destabilising Eastern Europe with his pointless invasion?

If one person does something wrong does that mean other people should do the same.

If only those countries weren't full of terrorist scum.

I'm sure you would criticise Jonathan for bombing Boko Haram as well.

Mumus.

If you can't criticize all then you have no right to point out right from wrong, anuofia.

Theunbothered:
Do you know that in the last 20 years Russia has bombed Syria, Georgia and the same Chechen idiots Putin is using?

Do you know that in the last 20 years USA have dropped an average of 46 bombs per day, and has bombed Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Libya and the same Iraq idiots Biden is planning to use against Russia?

tradepunter:
As you claim pro Putin .. may you and everything about you experience what Ukrainians are going through in the hands of a madman...

I wish upon you everything the Ukrainians are experiencing

As you claim pro US .. may you and everything about you experience what Palestinians, Syrians, Libyans, Somalians, are going through in the hands of Americans...

I wish upon you everything the Palestinians, Syrians, Libyans, and Somalians are experiencing in double folds.

Use your head, everything no be cruise

Use your coconut head, everything na cruise.

Donaluta:
US air strike was targeted at terrorist in Iraq .. but Putin is invading a sovereign country... So what are you trying to say

Russia airstrikes was targeted at Nazi terrorists in Ukraine... But Biden is invading a sovereign country, Syria... So what are you trying to say.

RenerdLiam:
He is saying the truth. When an African man had little opportunity, they feel like King and expect others to worship them.

It's a very dangerous mentality.

Is it all that do that? Not every rich person in Africa fancies being worshipped,

MALIGNANTGuest:
It's good you asked.
I cited such because I saw how kids were abused in Naija as housemaids when I was there.
How some brother/sister-in-laws were subjected to a lot of things for paltry favours.
I recently saw a video of a Naija Federal policeman holding a tray of food for a madam who eventually denied it without recalling that same policeman was holding her purse.
That's exactly what our COLONIAL MASTERS did to us. We always rush to condemn them, meanwhile such is presently going on in Africa unabated.
Same Nigerians & politicians wouldn't attempt such here. That's the reason I cited such.
Don't get me wrong.
To me that's even the worst!.

Every society has its ills and goods you know. You should not condemn thousands for the ill behaviours of few, once the gap between the rich and poor is covered these incidents will go away but I don't think it can happen.

We still have royalties and rich men in those western countries and they have maids, cleaners, drivers, gatemen, security, cooks that serve them. A lot of them can't even open there vehicle door by their self because they are rich example the president, prime ministers and governors even mayors.

We have also seen videos of domestic workers and maids being abused by their employers in US and UK. We have also read reports of parents abusing and inhumanly treating their own children even in the western countries.

These incidents are not isolated to Africa alone they are worldwide just that it is worse over here due to poverty.

Hamachi:
By now people should know holding USDT is an investment.
Nigeria is struggling to get Forex. Tony Elumelu recent post on Twitter shows that intense bunkering makes it impossible for Nigeria to profit from the current price of crude because lots of the crude produced is stolen.

The high price of crude also mean more subsidy needs to be paid. That's what has driven the cost of diesel and petrol up.
If the cost of crude remains above $100 throughout the year, by the end of the year, dollar could easily exchange 650

People should be holding at least 50% USDT and 50% naira now

In as much as I support holding USDt, I think we should also look at upcoming events. Dangote refinery will be due by ending part of this year and he has accepted to take payment for refined products in Naira. His refinery can meet with all our petroleum demands singlehandedly.

Last year alone Nigeria spent $9 Billion on importing fuel alone, this means there will surplus of about $4 Billion to spend on other parts of the economy. Also there is going to be forex inflow from Dangote selling his excess fuel to the international market. All this forex shortage started when all our refineries failed due to poor management.

The Nigerian government is looking to acquire a 20% stake in Dangote refinery at $4 Billion.

I still wonder why a country like Naija could not build a new refinery after how many years.

MALIGNANTGuest:
This is how people do laundry themselves.
No one does it for u. Everything is automated.
No one enslaves anyone here.
Irrespective of your social status, you are expected to do it yourself.
Nigerian politicians can only purchase houses for their kids, but wouldn't want to live here, because the leisure of being served as Oga is not here.
When I tell people that the Real slavery is in Africa, they end up arguing with me.

So, here are pictures of how we do heavy material laundry. We do this when we have thick blankets
(duvet) & Jackets which may not yield to our regular household laundry machines.

Such can fetch so much jobs & wealth on a large scale, only if power is fixed in Nigeria.
Imagine running such on a Diesel engine!
Imagine the Noise and Air pollution too!

Your pictures are good and shows a modern society. What I don't get is the mention of Slave and enslave when it has to do with business. Pass your info without making your readers feel like lower humans.

Remman:
This looks staged to me and i'm very sure we the outside world are the ones fed with this. A good editor can do this from football match footages while closed up ones are actual people, bribed. Putin that is very much afraid of being assinated can't come out to the open to this extent na, a small drone can do the job with just a bullet... And if this is true, then Russians are not what they made people think about them!

Where will the drone fly from when network jamming devices are all around the president. Even Buhari cannot be shot from a drone how much more Putin. If it is easy to shoot a head of state from a drone Syria's president would have been long gone but eno easy at all to fly close to a president. We are talking of a temporal no fly zone here.

This APE makes me remember ICP, XVS, CAKE, once the whales leave the market we will have a lot of huge bagholders.

LordIsaac:
How can someone hate her life this much....? Someone who can bring down a whole nation fa....at least, she should have fled Russia before making such comments.

You don go read headline, come rush comment off point . She died a year ago, bro and killed by her boyfriend.
