Politics › Re: What Is The Reason For Non-Availability Of Prepaid Meter? by tosinet(m): 7:14am On May 14, 2018

authority2006:
And what federal government, DISCOS AND GENCOS don't understand is that non availability of prepaid meters is also the reason why many people are wasting energy. If every household connected to the power grid has prepaid meter, the rate at which people are wasting will be drastically reduced and power supply will be available for longer hours.

You're right. That's why anytime they are saying they want to increase tariff, I say no problem but it should be implemented after giving me a prepaid meter.

If everyone is one prepaid meter, there will be energy efficiency. You won't put on appliances you are not using as you know the more power you consume the more your recharge card runs out.

There are several appliances with watts as high as 2000w, 2500w and bulbs of 200w or higher that people use today that will be abandon if they are using prepaid meter. There are energy saving appliances now available that will reduce consumer's power consumption thereby making power available to others not having it.

bros, I am business minded, so when problems become too much, it triggers my inquisitive mind and intrigue me.

I didn't pay attention until a few weeks ago but the last few days has been intensely pulling my attention to it.

If not that I don't have connection in high places, getting this meter is at simple as ABC and it's not even as expensive as it is sold in Nigeria and my fear is getting arrested if I should start selling it.

And @blank calling me a criminal is just the most ignorant person on this thread.

those people they claim to manufacture in Nigeria are just fooling around. They don't manufacture shiiit. Na Assembling dem dey do.

But I will try to see if I can break into the niche since one guy says they are offering license. The demand is fuuucking high and one can't afford to miss on such hot market.

I created this thread from the stand point of an ignorant person intentionally for a reason to answer two questions that came to my mind when the idea hit me.

1. Is it politics or 2 is it really scarce. If it were 1, then bad news and if it is 2, then good news.

Apparently the scarcity is no1, politics...

One of those times one wish they have connections.

That's what I'm saying, its really easy to get the prepaid meters from manufacturers outside the country, but phcn will frustrate the effort by not integrating it to the system. They will be giving you some grammar about its quality, uniformity, that it won't read well etc they will just be bringing such excuses to maintain the status quo.

People. Should go through the link below. We are fuucckked in this country.

I can get anybody a prepaid meter but seeing the kind of evil men at the
helm of power supply frustrating the availability of the meter, I might be arrested if found out and how to integrate the meter into their system is another hurdle so that you can recharge it.

Yes. It is possible to get prepaid meters from private sources, even from prepaid manufacturers outside the country, but PHCN will still frustrate you by not integrating it into the system. That's why I wonder if Fasola is not benefiting from this scam.

Yeah, Solar modules are not rocket science, you too can do it. It is just basic chemistry. Do not wait for a Dangote, you can be the next Solar billionaire.

Its true sha, I've already been researching ways to manufacture solar cells, most of the data I've been seeing is about coupling existing solar cells that by the way has to be imported too. I so much like the idea of making the panels affordable.

I love the way you ended it. It is not a spiritual attack, it is a religious attack.

Nigerians spend all their time fasting and praying and forget to get creative, then they run around to find fast money in order to buy imported food, cream, phone and wrist-watches so they dont have to waste time being creative when they should be worshipping God. Now churches run 5 services on Sundays, and a midweek service on wednesdays, not forgetting tarry nights and vigils.

The mohammedans are not left out, they pray a fuccking 5 times a day, and are constantly checking their time to make sure they dont miss a date with Allahu, what remains of their time is spent separating quarrels between their 4 wives, the rest is spent reminding the kids of the need to go to the Alfas and Imams for tutelages.

So, what time do we have to plant tomatoes or engineer apples that can grow on our climate.

We are not poor because we are religious, we are poor as a country because we have found an excuse in God.

Yet money does not grow on trees. Dangote should have known better. He has been making serious business mistakes of late, one of which is building $18B Refinery when electric cars and solar panels are the future. I really question the true source of his wealth. How are his projects finance ? From which sources ? He pays back loans at the speed of light, well, almost. Just to create impression of 'source' ? It could be these politicians just financing him till his retirement and eventual demise. It could just be a ponzi that takes money from early mules and paying the new politicians. I envy the man, I truly do, but if I have access to such money, then I should be able to buy up Nigeria and put everyone on a universal basic income from what I can do with that money.

As it is with the tomato factories, so will it be with the refineries in the next 20 yrs. This is the new world order.

Building a solar panel manufacturing plant in Nigeria would have been really relevant as part of reasons its still expensive is the shipping cost from countries like China ,Germany USA etc.
It would have made solar panels readily available and cheap and every home is a potential customer.

i bought 6k worth of energy since April 6th ,i still have over 3k left no thanks to poor power supply in April, if only solar panels were affordable, we would done away with these people a long time ago.

But wait o, why is there no single solar panel manufacturer in Nigeria? This is the main reason the panels are expensive because of the cost of shipping them down to Nigeria

Politics › Re: 2019 Elections: Omoyele Sowore's Manifesto by tosinet(m): 3:28pm On Apr 20, 2018

These are all tall order promises and the clamour for new breed of polititians is not to come and follow the old track of bogus promises while not addressing the major challenges facing the country.

Number one problem that is trotting the life out of Nigeria's potential is the adulterated and skewed system of government we run in Nigeria that has no correlation with any type of democracy run in any of the developed countries. Our polititians in Nigeria are not accountable to anyone whether their ward, constituents or citizens.

For instance, due to the faulty system of government we have, most local governments exist to share monthly proceeds accorded to them rather than use the funds for infrastructures that will better the life of its citizens. So the system first needs to be redesigned where every citizen is important to the development of their locality, culture, religion etc.

In a country like USA where states like Texas, California etc are as big as the whole of Nigeria, they only have a governor and three senators, but in their local governments/municipals/regions, their is no agency and parastatals that don't exist at the local level, be it police where you have shefiff's dept whose jurisdiction covers local areas and districts while state police dept like NYPD, LAPD etc covers the whole state. While federal law enforcement like FBI, Homeland, ATF etc have jurisdiction over the country where such needs arise.

Another problem is the salaries and allowances of the citizens and workers in the country. The public servants from the councillor to the governor at state level, ministers to Mr president at federal level, the legislatures etc seems to have it large as their take home packages does not corelate with other workers under the labour like the civil servants and private sector.

There should be a comprehensive salary structure by the salary regulatry body and controlled by the ministry of labour, where there will be a template to be followed.

A president does not have to earn more than 5times a professor, federal judges, federal legislatures should be on per and not earn more 2-3 times a prof. Better still case studies of salary structure of developed nations with older "real democary", can be carried out and adopted.

The ministry of labour should be able to protect the interest of its citizens/labourers. Any company or establishment maltreating, underpaying abusing etc its staffs should be appropriately dealt with.

There should be proper identification of ALL citizens of the country. Anyone that cannot be identified cannot vote or do business or enjoy amenities that will be available to citizens only.
The idea of over bloated population number of any area and ward will not arise. The identity card of any citizen will have his/her voter's ID number, BVN and other necessary records incorporated within.

The more you can identity anyone residing anywhere, the more secure that area will be and it will make the work of security outfits simpler.

Another problem is our currency, the highest denomination should not be higher than N100 and the highest transaction with cash should not be higher than N5000 and AT MOST N10000.

This will help curb many corruption and crimes being perpetrated as transactions of citizens and foreigners can be easily tracked by investigatory bodies where there are petitions and accusations of financial crimes.

Suspicious monies beyond the means of any individual can be traced and stolen money can't be spent or laundered easily.
Imaging someone that robs an amount of 5million or more or ritualists, and u can't spend more than N5000 cash at a time and that will be after much begging as there will be extra charges for anyone doing business with cash.

This policy alone can stop 70% of corruption in its track before its being carried out.

These are the type of manifestos we need from new breeds of polititians we want. Manifestos must be innovative and tell us how you want to do things differently from the old ways of making bogus promises with no detailed explanation on how to tackle challenges that has made it difficult for past governments.

Daviddson:
Let the Service Chiefs be sacked - no problem. But I'm concerned that the deputy Senate president says we should beg Britain to come and help us.
Are the British so ultrapowerful that whatever they touch turn to gold or have a magic wand to kill all the BH terrorists, killer herdsmen, armed robbersrobbers - overnight? Have the US and all its European allies not been fighting the talibans, alqaeda, for more than 16 years and counting - without victory?
Sri Lanka, a poor country, is still reputed to the only country yet to have totally annihilated a terrorist organisation, the Tamil Tigers. Though they weren't a religious terror group, but they were deadlier than every religious terror group you can ever imagine.

I agree with you because there is no help that will resolve security challenges if we are not ready ourselves.
How will there be unabated carnage meted out to citizens and there is no response from security outfits, the DPOs and other security head tasked with such duties still be in office?

Yes! Sad we don't have anything remotely like those trains in Nigeria. The sad and baffling thing is that Nigeria has more than enough money to purchase hundreds of those trains, and expand our rail networks to cover the entire length and breadth of our nation. Unfortunately our leaders both past and present are corrupt, stupid, selfish and wicked !

We have been working and pumping money to revive a rail network of less 4000km since 1999 till date with no success.... I do wonder if we are cursed sometimes cos why are we so different in our way of thinking than those in these advanced part of the world.

Politics › Re: Okorocha Constructing Bridges Without Design - COREN by tosinet(m): 4:45am On Jan 25, 2018

Every aspect and organs of our country is just warped.

I saw a design of a restaurant made in Canada recently and what interests me there is that the construction drawing is more than 150 pages with up to 7 different firms of profession listed on the cover page, with each category of the drawing having detailed specifications of what should be used, installed, the number of users (staffs, custormers, etc)expected to use each of the provided facilities.

The professional bodies are supposed to take the lead role for the standard of constructions in the country. The town planning authority that should consist of professionals like town/urban planner, architect, civil engineer, structural engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, estate valuer etc should exist at different levels of government, to ensure that a minimum acceptable standard is met before giving approval and go ahead for any kind of project.

Its not suppose to be a politician waking up and start a project/construction with no proper environmental impact assessment and necessary approvals gotten from the relevant bodies.

I think the country will fare better, if professional bodies can sit up to their responsibilities, and come up with necessary acts and policies that will protect the citizens of the country from quackery and avoidable loss of lives.

Sports › Re: Alexis Sanchez Signs For Manchester United by tosinet(m): 11:26pm On Jan 22, 2018

donstan18:
Bitter truth!

The manchester united we know, isn't the manchester united of now.

We all know Mourinho, a coach who prefers big name to what he needs, a coach who believes in big names, he doesn't believe in how good you are.

Signing to Manchester united will be a very big regret for Sanchez, the world will want to watch him, much will be expected, he should ask Di Maria, Depay, Lukaku, Mikki, Pogba, these are average players who were over hyped by England press, yet they didn't perform.

If you could end with 6th position after signing Baily, Mikki, Pogba, and Ibrahimovic, why should Epl clubs bother about Sanchez of 29 years.

Much will be expected of Sanchez, and he'll not give it due to much pressure and training from a coach who has no pattern of play rather than tum tum tum!

Mourinho have never been good in signing and selling players, he believes in big names, he didn't sign Sanchez because he needed him, But because Manchester city wanted him.
He sold, de bruyne, sallah, cuadrado, mata and co, where are they now?, really performing.

Wenger is a genuis in transfer business, Mourinho has always being a failure with transfers, right from Porto, Inter millian, Real Madrid and Chelsea, all he does is, come to your team, scatter it and run out.

I may not like Arsenal, but the truth remains that Mikki, must perform for Arsenal,
Mourinho will continue to torment Manchester united with his short sight transfer.

Wrong signing for Man u!
Wrong move for Sanchez!
Right move for Mikki!!

Signing Sanchez won't stop Chelsea, Mancity, Liverpool, Arsenal and spurs from crushing Man united in return leg.

Signing Sanchez won't give them league or any trophy, he only signs big names without considering age and the future.

This minute he'll want Griezman, the next minute he'll want perisic, the next one, Varane or James rodriquez.

His time has gone!
Sack Mourinho to resurrect Machester united

Bring back Manchester united of 1999 Ucl squad to 2011 Ucl squad, not these farmers and barbers they call players now

All these problems of mega slums and lack of proper master planning and approval process we have in Nigeria are caused by weak ""Urban and town planning commision".
The town planning commission should be the go to for proper environmental analysis and approval for any development, even if such development is to be carried out by politicians (FG, State govt, local govt, etc).
It is sad that reverse is the case as the body that has this responsibility and are supposed to be consulted are reduced to civil servants paid by those that are supposed to consult them.
