That's the problem isn't it?

The places with the lands suitable for farming are plagued with many problems, the biggest of them being insecurity.

There is something called urban farming. One won’t even need as much land, as they can build upwards on various levels .

It’s never too late for you to evolve and grow.

But as per your son, I agree . Apart from developing his academic/intellectual abilities , I also want to ensure my son has developed excellent skills in a creative, sports and/or vocational area before he is done with secondary school.

That’s why countries like Germany are still so relevant , their education covers both whitecollar and vocational education.

Rossikk:


Obi’s plan was also to remove subsidies, so shush.

The situation would have been the EXACT SAME THING today.


Everybody knows Subsidy should be removed.

But who removes Subsidy before they step down from the inauguration stage? If not Someone that was high on his inauguration or something else.

Who doesn’t call to order , the petroleum marketers who triple prices overnight , even when subsidy payments for the next one month had already been budgeted for?

Who doesn’t admit that there is still Subsidy even after the IMF has confirmed that there still
Is.

That person, for sure , is Tinubu

And don’t you tell
Me that Obi would have taken such a rash, hurried and insincere approach to
Subsidy removal, because non of us know that for sure.

We are still waiting to see the so called Lagos Blueprint they claimed Ambode was not following. And Sanwo has obviously not seen.

BucketMan:
Hello guys, please I need your advice. I'm currently in a dilemma on what to do with my life presently. I'm a lawyer called to the bar in December 2022. Afterwards I practiced in a law firm for 6 months before resigning due to the meagre salary and harsh work environment. I just couldn't keep up, Although I can confirm that legal practice was very terrific but it's something that you can only enjoy if you're well paid at the Law firm or company you work with to effectively maintain the standard expected from you.

I've been jobless for 8 months now as all the efforts I put into securing a job ended in futility. I'm thinking of going for my masters degree(LLM) instead of staying idle at home with my parents. I think by doing this I can keep myself busy and improve on my career academically while also trying to find a good job in today's Nigeria.

Serious advice needed please

How will he pay for the masters without a job?

Will the masters significantly improve His chances of getting a job?

If the ultimate goal is to get a job , why not aim t get a job first? People who have not even finished secondary school and even drop outs are working at google , Facebook etc.

Focus less on getting a certificate and more on getting a skill that van add value to people and organisations.

And never forget, Unemployment is a choice.

EmekaA125:

Obi will think twice before removing subsidy.

At the very worst, I don’t think He would have removed subsidy on the inauguration podium before resuming His first day at the office.

BAT was probably high on the inauguration or on something else or both.

freezer running constant on inverter of how much. Is ur setup over 10m naira, or else he go shock you soon

The inverter is 3.6kva. The solar works during the day and batteries at night, assuming there is no light (we usually have light shortly before dark and all through the night)

In any case I have a 3 year warranty, with proper use and maintenance which the installer will carry out.

So if there are ever any issues, it is the supplier, not me that will be “shocked”

This MAY be because your husband, doesn’t want to be the in the UK. He has left all that made Him feel like Himself behind. Now He is starting from scratch, in a manner of speaking. He is having to deal with new kinds of issues , And He is becoming a shadow of Himself, he is losing his energy and zest for life , thus becoming unattractive.

Or your eyes are seeing more attractive things

Or both

True

Wasn't referring to 3.6 kva, but rather 7kva

That is what would be enough to power AC and Borehole in addition


Oh boy, the borehole and water pump should wait first.

What do u mean by inverter AC and inverter freezer?
Does it mean the main inverter dat powers the other appliances is different from inverter AC and inverter freezer?

They are energy saving and don’t consume as much as the regular ACs and Freezers.

Well done.

However, a building and computers don’t make a hub, it’s the Human Resources that do.

Has he also paid for the Human Resources, data and prototyping tools that the innovation hub will need?

You are right


Let me give you a recent costing based on what I installed myself.


3.5kva pure sine wave inverter - 370,000

220ah Luminous tubular batteries x 4 - 340,000 x 4 = 1,360,000

120amps charge controller - 340,000

Circuit breakers - 95,000

Used Canadian 410w mono solar panel - 8 x 95,000 = 760,000

Cables - 25m @ 4000 per m = 100,000

Battery rack - 12,000

Solar installation rack - 15,000

Flexible wires and other installation materials - 40,000

Installation fee - 95,000

Total = 3,187,000



What the above solar system will power:

3 smart TVs
1 inverter deep freezer
1 inverter ac
6 energy saving bulbs
1 8.5hp washing machine
5 rechargeable standing fans
DStv decoder



But the freezers, ac, washing machine should not all be turned on at the same time and it must be during day time when the sun is shining. Once it's 6pm switch off your ac and freezer to save your battery so it can last long

Thanks for confirming because I am really not an expert just a user/customer .


An yes, some of the stuff I Mentioned will hardly ever be on at the same time. Deep freezer is the only constant, cos I need to stock perishables.
Family / Re: Witnessing A Loved One Die In Your Presence by TheGift: 2:53pm On Feb 18
DaddyRochie1642:
It's over one year I lost my mother to stage 4 breast cancer, the breast cancer was not detected early,

- I remember that day very clearly like it was yesterday,
- It was on a Sunday morning, she was responsive their on her hospital bed, she was even smiling with the doctor attending to her,
- I was there, my younger brother was there, my older cousin was there, we were there by her side, the doctor attending to her left,
- Few minutes after the doctor left, mummy closed her eyes,
- We immediately rushed and called the doctors to the situation, the brought their machine for CPR, the machine couldn't detect her pulse/vitals,
- She was pronounced dead after several efforts.
- I couldn't believe I just saw mummy die before my eyes,
- My younger brother went nuts right there in the hospital, my older cousin shed tears, his eyes were red, I was too shocked, I just sat down beside her body and held her hand for over an hour, she was 52years old.
- This memory plays in my head each day.

- My younger brother was never himself After mummy's passing,
- He developed some kind of mental health issues, it was so bad for him,
- My younger brother became a complete shadow of himself, this is someone that is full of Life and energy when mummy was alive.
- Doctor said it was schizophrenia which was triggered due to the loss of a loved one as he was very close to her.

- With combined efforts, my younger brother slowly overcame the mental health issue,
- Each time I look at him, I'm so glad we rallied around for him, I am so glad I played my role and stood by him at that low point in his life, I'm filled with happiness each time I see him.

- Witnessing a loved one die in your presence is a scar for life, it can damage a person for Life.

You can share your experience if you wish, it is not an easy thing to talk about.



So sorry to hear this.

My mum also died of breast cancer when I was about 9 years old. But it was not in my presence.

That must have been something.

Thank God for your brothers healing and restoration. And for you guys who stood by Him.

May you continue to heal with peace, equanimity and acceptance.

Premium tears loading except these appliances won't run simultaneously.

No they wont all be on at the same time.

The laptops will be on mostly during work hours , the when the ACs will most likely not be on. Two ACs will never be on at the same time, remember, they are inverter ACs. All fans will Hardly be on at the same time some
Are for work space others are for living spaces which do not work at the same time. Certainly all the energy saving bulbs will never be on at the same time. E.g Security lights only come on at night.

The priority and constant for me is the freezer to stock fresh goods/save costs -and its an inverter freezer.

You are still thinking

Whilst you are thinking, ask about the budget and put the money in dollars

Then conclude your investigation and continue

Anyway, if you are in the South East, I can link you up with the guy that installed our own

It is a heavy investment, for 3-bedroom apartment, you may need minimum of 3 million to run it

Duplex, you should be talking close to 10 million.

I stay in a duplex. I am installing a 3.6 kva inverter with solar which can carry two 1 hsp inverter acs, 1 inverter deep freezer, Smart TV, 20 laptops, 4-6 fans and over 20 energy saving bulbs for about 3m+

It’s not about the type or size of the house but what you want to power.

Pastor Adeboye’s prayer that Christians of other denominations will bow before RCCG members sparks controversy!

A video clip being shared online shows him making the prayer at the 2021 youth convention of the church.

He made reference to how the sons of the prophet bowed before Elisha after he was endowed with the double portion of Elijah’s power.

Adeboye then prayed that as the prophet’s sons bowed to Elisha, Christians from other denominations would bow before them. The entire congregation roared with an amen response.

Reacting to the video, OO Nwoye wrote:


This is an erroneous message from Someone who does not study their bible properly.

Christ and the apostles never preached or recognised denominations.

Christianity as a whole is more than 2000 years, how old is redeemed.

Also, it was never Gods plan for Man to have dominion over their fellow Man but over the earth and everything in it.


Lastly, the scriptures says not to compare our selves for they that compare themselves among themselves are not wise.

[quote author=Nonexisting post=128494908 Poor people are very myopic….. Why someone will rent a house and upgrade it when he should be thinking of building his own is something I still can't figure. [/quote]


Do you think those rich people did not also rent and upgrade houses before they built their own?

Will you not stay somewhere while building your own house?

Who says you can’t upgrade the house you are renting while building your own house.

What if it is cheaper to rent a house in the place where you prefer to live with your family, than to build or buy one there at the moment.

What if the house you are renting is facilitating your capacity to create wealth?

What if you own houses where people are paying rent, while renting in a preferred place?

There are many reasonable reasons why people may do this.
