You can see as 'almost' everybody is taking you for a joke!

First, l will say, be careful whose advise you are taking, depending on what "vested interest" such person has, in such project (just offering free advise with no vested interest, installer hoping to be contracted, Solar Items Seller hoping for a potential sale, etc). though there are still some good people here offering free advise.
What i expect is that anyone offering advise, will declare where their interest lies, if any.

.
Nothing wrong if this is your Project/ your Husband's or Brother's Project and you want us to help Vet the Prices, a lot of people have done so in the past.
But saying you're doing it for a friend Abroad, is in itself, screaming: 'there is Money to be made here' or 'Money Na Water'.
For next time's sake, dont include the Abroad part at all (Maybe your Installer is already crunching his Brain and doing Dollar-to-Naira Exchange rate!

To the quotation:
As a rough guide, go to any Nigerian online Store, (Konga or JiJii, etc ) and do a search for each item, you will see them and you can use their Price there, "as a GUIDE". It gives you an idea of what they should be, though, you could get them for less at the Market.

If you are in Lagos, take a stroll to Arena Market at Oshodi, enter from the C-Line and the first few Shops sell a lot of Solar Materials. They will give you a good Price and you can strike a bargain with the sellers. You cant miss the Market,

Your Quotation is scary on some items!
For example:
- a 200A Change Over is far cheaper than #22,000!
- Mccb breaker for battery 160amps @ 35,000! Kilode?
- Why does he need two DC surge Protector? Are you doing two separate Solar inputs or two Individual Inverters?
-(20) mitre 10mm² cable wire @2200 =#60,000: ar ethese DC Cables? If so, why does he need 20Meters to run just two Batteries to the Inverter?
Will they be so far out (like 5Meters out, which is not a good thing?

- Why does he need 3days to install 20 Solar Panels? It is usually Two days Max (Day 1: Install panels and Run Cables. Day 2: Install Panels and Battery, Configure them and Start the System)

- Which other "Additional Work" is he referring to? Tell him everything involved from Start to Finish (Inverter Charging Battery, using from Solar Panels and supply in the Load), are all involved and be covered by "Installation" Cost.
Dont fall for that line, he would use it to charge you extra.

- since all the Materials will be provided, why does he want to collect 80% Payment before screwing Bolt? What does he need to buy?
Give him 50% Advance payment and 50% Balance on Commission. Generally speaking, service Providers who insist on such lopsided payment arraingement, either don't trust the Client's ability to Pay in-full on Completion of the Work, or are not sure they will do a good Job and therefore dont want the Client to have any 'leash' on his payment (Some can abandon the 20% and take off sef!)

Now, it is a bit difficult to verify the quantity for you because you did not state the extent of the building, viz: location of Solar Panels, relative to location of Inverter ( Panels on Roof of Storey building with Inverter on Ground floor, will need different length/quantity of material, compared to Panels on Roof of Bungalow and directly below Room where Inverter will be). are the Panels going to be on same side of the Roof or will be scattered around, due to the shape of the Roof?
If you shed more light or are able to provide estimated distances/length in above cases, we might be able to help more.

Caveat: I am a DIY Solar Enthusiast, a User with basic knowledge of Solar Installs. I have two of my own self-installs running at 32KW + 8KW. I dont sell Materials and I dont install.
BTW, if perhaps you want a recommendation for a good Installer that had worked for me and i have recommended to othrs, i can recommend him.
I have no vested interest than to ensure you get good vallue for your Money.

hoover420:
Okay, This looks like a very reasonable option if you were in Lagos. Secondly, I don’t know how fast you want to let go of the panel because I’ll just have to sell this new 585 watt to afford it. Though it won’t be a problem for me, it just depends on your own timing and patience. Meanwhile can you take a picture of the properties of the panel so gurus in the house can help me ascertain if it would work for this my lazy Haisic inverter?

Baba your own too do untop this your inverter problem ooo
Many people advice you to add the panel in series say he no go reach 100VOC. you just dey crack everybody head for here, Go buy mppt if you can’t take the risk please move on sir your own too do ooo

Bryanluke:
if stainless pot work with. That's all I have then

I took a small magnet or in my own case i took a common earpiece (most earpiece generally have small magnet inside) to the market, i simply stick the magnet to the body(and the base too) of the stainless steel pot and it STICKS or say they attracts each other, That’s when i know it will work with induction cooker because there are fake stainless steel pot out there that don’t stick, Kindly note that.

Bryanluke:
then I'll go for infrared cooker to avoid pot selection.. hope the infrared no dey chop light too like the normal hot plate

Coming from someone that own and used infared and induction cooker, I will pick an induction cooker anyday anytime over an infared cooker. What i like most about induction cooker is the speed at which it cooks, It saves more energy than infared cooker…i got few set of stainless pot at a local store here that works with induction cooker at a ridiculous cheap price…4 sets for about 20k.

bad market

Dayo induction cooker got here. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the question i asked earlier.

durodee:
You are good to go. However expect it to take up to a week.

Thanks boss

WithX:
You can go ahead. I ordered from their website and they deliver to my address in Kano through Konga.
No pot was added though.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

zenith4biz:
it depends on where you want to source it, all sources deliver nationwide. Konga delivers with pot while mamahome website does not deliver with pot, jumia too expensive there

I want to source it from the mama home website itself.

Good day everyone, Does anyone know if DAYO INDUCTION COOKER can be shipped to outside Lagos state, i plan to ship to Ogbomoso oyo state…. I realize it’s a pay before shipment service.

Revolution go start immediately you tax Nigerians please tax us

Hey Pals,
As you might know, soon WhatsApp is ending support for older devices, making the app incompatible with Android versions 5.0 and iPhones running iOS 12.5.7 and earlier from September 8, 2026.

Funny enough, I barely use smart phones and only retained one due to need to make calls and messages via whatsApp & teleGram. Those of us freelancers need cost effective means to communicate with foreign clients hence reason I kinda still bothered myself.

Yes I understand most of you would wonder how one could afford to live such kinda life BUT sometimes, you need wean yourSelf of certain things so you don't end up a prisoner like they want you to.

AnyWay sha, Currently using a used android device of over 5-years which still runs on android 5.1 and with this latest development, need to make the Switch soon to avoid distruptions.

Why am I bringing this here; well partly to notify those who sees me as ancient human + in case anyOne got a capable quality used device at Very pocket friendly price. For those with problematic devices, would suggest you don't waste ya time.

My kinda Devices:
The likes of Tecno, Gionee, inFInix, etc; and even Samsung + iPhone are a NO Go Area. I prefer Sony Xperia, Huawei, Motorola, Asus, Honor, LG, and onePlus/umidigi; and the order of preference is just as I listed them.

I prefer portable devices I could hold on my palm comfortably without tiring BUT at the right sweet price, that's just a soft preference.

Of course battery life should be excelent, or atleast good enough since it would be plugged-in 99.5% of the time. On transit, I rarely have a need to move with them.

Really not after fancy features so long performanceWise, it's fluid enough (not having 20GB ram but takes ages to swipe or open menu).
All I need is ability to seamlessly operate whatsApp (mostly make and receive calls) as most times (99% of the time), I am on whatsApp / teleGram web via my PC.

NeatNess doesn't matter much as I prioritize performance over aesthetics. I want no cracked or broken screens or those with ink please.

DisplayType don't matter much. infact LCD is much appreciated than AmoLed or retina Displays.

Operating System must be from Android 8 and above. Also those with Android Go shouldn't bother at all abeg.

Mind you, I'm not after a device that would last just a year or 2. No; I want it to even outlast mua sef hence mostly after those of Qualcomm Snapdragon or similar BUT would outRightly reject those of MediaTek except they're flagShip models.

Also my major target is normal or flagShip models, not budget models.

Also, super slim devices are a NO go area for me as they are not only fragile BUT easy to heatUp. Don't want to suffer from dead motherBoards or screens like most of you normal humans.

Also have no issue with those with no Sim (wifi Only) as even if it's got working simPort, would always be on airplane mode.

I don't do iOS except you would be gifting me as I'm more of an openSource kinda human.

maxBudget is 40,000 naira and that's a very hard max. For very very exceptional devices, could be willing to go up to a max of 50,000 naira.

Location: Lagos / Ogun (not Abeokuta) state.
Mind You, except it's completely FREE, and I pay for wayBill only after testing it at least works, I don't do wayBill.

NB: No one should waste his/her time + mine trying to engage me in negotiations as I would end discussions even before they get started the moment I notice your offer doesn't align with my requirements.

PS: Just that I'm kinda busy else already have plans for a browser only whatsApp alternatives that wouldn't force me to rely on apps BUT ETA is kinda long as I'm tightly occupied with other more serious things that actually pays ma bills. Hopefully before next phaseOut, wouldn't have a need to once again upgrade.

RyanAutomotive:
Hey 👋, thanks for sharing the details — you actually explained your driving and fuel situation clearly. Let’s break it down from a diagnostic and efficiency perspective, Honda-style.

⸻

🔍 1️⃣ The Real Situation: Fuel Consumption Post-Tuning


You mentioned:
• 2003 EOD 2.4L, 4 plugs
• Tuned recently
• Covered 30 miles on 7800 Naira fuel (~8.57 litres @ 910 Naira/L)
• AC used occasionally, mostly city driving

Here’s what’s happening:
🔹 City driving always consumes more fuel than highway due to stop-start cycles.
🔹 AC usage even occasionally adds load to the engine — small, but measurable.
🔹 Post-tuning MPG improvements are encouraging, but city driving often masks the maximum gains.

Let’s calculate your rough consumption:
1. 7800 ÷ 910 ≈ 8.57 litres purchased
2. Distance covered = 30 miles ≈ 48.3 km
3. Fuel economy = 48.3 km ÷ 8.57 L ≈ 5.63 km/L

For a 2003 2.4L engine in city driving, 5–6 km/L initially is normal after tuning, especially when the fuel tank isn’t full or AC is used intermittently.

⸻

🔧 2️⃣ What This Means & Next Steps

✅ Encouraging sign: The MPG has improved compared to before tuning — this shows the tuning is affecting engine efficiency positively.
✅ Monitor over longer distance: City driving can be inconsistent, so track fuel consumption over 150–200 km to see a more stable trend.
✅ Check for leaks and idle efficiency: Make sure throttle body, injectors, and spark plugs are clean — they all affect city MPG.
✅ Regular post-tune maintenance: After tuning, minor adjustments (spark timing, idle calibration) help sustain improved fuel efficiency.

⸻

⚙️ Ryan Automotive Workshop Professional Take

We see this pattern often: initial city MPG after tuning looks low, but over a few tanks and longer driving, efficiency stabilizes and usually improves 10–15 % over baseline.

So yes — your current performance is encouraging, not poor, but continuous monitoring is key.

Crazy wealth, Local man earning 7 million naira every second in nigeria…damn

270k + miles that’s about 434,734 km now


How it that barely driven? Nigerians aghh why na, swears na we be our own problem…..

ayoncox:
Many Nigerians lack critical thinking he was not referring to Geh Geh but those attending, the point is making is that when the Holy Bible has already told you what to do about avoiding dangerous ladies you now need Geh Geh to tell you, is that not foolishness. Meanwhile his point is not about Geh Geh but about those who go to churches where they are not allowed to put their brains to use

Since you said “Holy Bible has already told you what to do about avoiding dangerous ladies you now need Geh Geh to tell you, is that not foolishness”.

Think critically too and you will understand Geh Geh too dey do God’s work
Since they can’t read the 66 books, 📚 geh geh don dey help, it’s not a shame

Hello everybody in the house

I have a question

Can we select up to two options under means support? Hope it will not bring issues, because I selected two options

See it below

Click on others and type debit card too

Money that could have been added to budget to build infrastructure for a system that will work for decades what a shame! 50,000naira after una remove subsidy won’t do any of those women any good
