moodyguy:
so how much wud last like normally 24/7?

A lot of money for pure 24/7 operation, lol

Like, a lot....

It would cost a lot, not due to the price of the solar panels, but the price of the batteries.

Unless you cut cost by buying so called "SOLAR BATTERIES" from Nigeria, which would probably die in a year.

The cost of running that load while the sun is shining though would not be that much, like from around 8a.m - 5p.m.

gaddafe:
God bless you. I have said this severally. Solar is not an option to electricity. It is even cheaper to buy a petrol generator than using solar

Over how many years though? That's the point.

Solar is like paying for 10 years worth of fuel on day one, but that doesn't mean it's more expensive in the long run.

moodyguy:
wot about 1AC and 2 deep freezers

Still would be very expensive, actually more than said 500k

Unless you just want to turn it on for 5 mins, lol

Officialgarri:
I still don't know why Africa is still getting deceived that Solar is the way for for Electricity just because we have abundance of sunlight.

Any deep thinker and non conformist will realize that it's all a scam

Solar should be the most expensive source of electricity

Solar is not a scam though, expensive yes! Scam? No!

Well maybe those solar panels that they sell in naija market sha.

Don't you think that it's fascinating that solar panels produce power day after day without needing any intervention?

Did you read the part where i said Nigeria's inflation is worse and also better than some other nations Example is Zimbabwe. My point is simple, in as much as inflation is a global phenomenon, Nigeria has been hit hard with it. Your stand on other factors affecting inflation was not put into place by me because that is not the subject matter. I totally understand your point though.

Let’s look at the cost of a one pound loaf of white bread over a twenty-five year period. In January of 1988, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, indicates that a loaf of white bread cost approximately 59¢. In January of 2013, that same loaf of bread cost $1.42. Thus, in the twenty-five year period, the bread increased 83¢ or rose by 140%.

In Nigeria, the price of bread might have increased by 500%, am not sure, haven't been home in a while, however, my point is, Nigeria mught have been hit harder, however, inflation is a global problem.

Okay! we're on the same page.

favor914:
What of the Governor of your state who is The Chief Security Officer where the kidnapping happened, what did he say, Charity they say begins @ home.? How many kidnappers have your state courts convicted in the past before you start shouting Buhari? Or you want President Buhari & the FG to come & sentence them to jail for you?

You are conflating issues

I talking about a State of the Union address with reporters.

I guess you are gonna tell me that a president doesn’t need to address reporters and the people for whatever reason

gidgiddy:
Nigeria is listed as the third most terrorised country on earth after Afghanistan and Iraq by the world terrorism index, so what do you think?

I haven’t heard this before, so you have a link

mofedamijo:
In as much as inflation has hit Nigeria so bad. This is applicable to so many developed countries in the world.

From an economist point of view, how much was the salary then? Maybe N700, how much is salary today?? My point is, salary structure also changed. I mean, no graduate earns N700 as monthly salary today. Same way the price of flight ticket from the U.S back then to Africa used to be $150-$288, today, its around $1,000-1400. Inflation has been hitting the world and not just Nigeria, yes, Nigeria might have it rough than others and might have it better than some other nations.

To effectively calculate it and determine how bad it is, economist will try to convert that money to how much it is worth in todays market. And compare the percentage in inflation. You could rent an apartment for $120 in Newyork in the 60s, $120 wont even pay your agreement fee today in Newyork.

So before you bash Nigeria, know that this is a global phenomenon.

And for the record, N100 was a lot of money back then. That is some families monthly salary back then.

Of course inflation affects every country, but it’s the magnitude of the inflation here that is under contention.

Or will you also justify Zimbabwe’s inflation?

From the outside looking in, I wonder if Nigeria is now viewed as a terrorist country.

If other countries were to enact a visa ban on Nigeria due to “terrorists activity”, would they be justified?

The daily news of mass kidnappings, killings and bombings may have made Nigerians numb, but that doesn’t mean that others are numb too.

What do you guys think?

Still no media interaction from the president of Nigeria

Olayetan:
Exactly, he doesn’t want his car forfeited but landed in a bigger mess and now his car will be auctioned and he will be charged for resisting arrest...

What he is trying to say is that, everything is connected.

You don't auction off peoples vehicles as first time offenders.

Wow! That is crazy men.

Kudos to the LASMA for trying to apprehend one way drivers and other traffic offenders, HOWEVER, their methods are sooo CRUDE!

Why are we still having officers trying to stop vehicles on foot?

LASMA should be able to radio in a police squad car to PULL OVER an erring driver, or LASMA should have a squad car, with police officers and lasma working together to form a squad.

In lagos, I see LASMA just standing at junctions and I wonder...

If they are there JUST TO CONTROL traffic, then fine, but you can't try to apprehend erring drivers on foot, banging on their doors, that is just dangerous. Leadership needs to take all his into consideration.

btw, you have to give little props to AMBODE, cause during his tenure, 112 cars were very active and were PULLING people over frequently. NOW, they just park at junctions and sleep, waiting for the sun to set so they can erect their cash checkpoints.

Is there really a president in Nigeria? Very shameful

When was the last time Buhari had a live session with media?

https://www.nairaland.com/6408247/when-buharis-last-live-media#99397697

Think about it, when was the last time? Wasn’t it like last election with NTA?

Imagine kidnappings and explosions happening in the U.S.A, and the president will not be seen AT ALL. I mean, would that even be possible in a country like that?

We play too much in Naija! No one is even asking where Buhari is.

All the time media will just say, “Buhari Says”

Why can’t this man stand before reporters like American presidents do and answer questions.

Damn, even GEJ answered questions from media and remember the famous “There is God” cry from his wife.

Buhari has set the bar really really low, like ultra low.

Don’t you guys find it strange, that even with the kidnappings going on, Buhari still won’t come out LIVE to address the nation and reporters?

BigBashiru:
Leave cursed black Africans to keep babbling - and that UK express road you have the picture isn't tolled oh!!

Imagine, so it isn’t even tolled? Chai!

At what time exactly did Nigeria become a terrorist nation?

Now if US ban Nigeria from getting visas, we will be complaining, but think about how Nigeria looks like to an outsider in a relatively peaceful country.

Maybe we have become used to the news of daily mass killings, but all these are sooo, so, far from normal.

SmartPolician:
There's rarely a day that we don't read news about support for Tinubu's 2023 ambition.

For God's sake, we are still in 2021. What have the current crop of politicians done with the mandate they have?

Please politics should be about development and improving the lots of the people, not always the next elections.

The electorate don’t care about policy in Nigeria, unfortunately.

You want proof?

The winners of the last couple presidential elections in Nigeria, all SHUNNED THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE!

intellectuals, development, policy... those mean NOTHING to the electorate, as the Nigerian people look for the next “Darling daddy”, “Jagaban”, “Mr. no shoes”, “Oga roadside kpomo/corn/bole buyer” and “Mr. boards BRT/okada”.

Rossnitti:
There are tolls on UK highways. Those tolls are what keep the roads smooth like that.

Why don't you want Nigeria to do the same?

Lol

Truly, Nigerians are the ultimate in suffering and smiling.

I am not against all tolls, but against tolling already existing routes.

You just posited that the highways in the UK are smooth because of toll, so what happened to the lekki epe expressway that was tolled? Why wasn’t the road smooth?

Why doesn’t lekki epe expressway have lane markings?

Why is the lekki epe expressway dark at night?

I don’t know why you guys must always fight for evil in Nigeria. You fight for old corrupt leaders, you fight for bad roads, you fight so your leaders have the gall to make you suffer more... I just don’t get it.

Look at the picture below of a UK highway and compare it to Lekki Epe, where we used to pay N250-N300 per pass. Do you see how the lanes are marked so PERFECTLY on the UK expressway below?

Or maybe you will argue again, but this time, against your very own eyesight.

Is lekki epe highway anywhere close to this?

Suffering and smiling is just too much in this country abeg

COMPAQ:
LCC is now owned by government since LASG took them over a few years ago, so of course you don’t expect government to care about streetlights and markings. Both of those were actually more present when it was not owned by LASG.

This makes sense, cause at a point, street lights were maintained and lanes were repainted.

COMPAQ:
Wait for government to find wife for you and help you pay bride price.

In UK you pay for water supplied to you - not free.

In UK, you pay for your food. Notbfree and not subsidised

In UK you pay for your electricity from private companies. Not run by government or subsidised.

In UK there are also some roads with tolls.

In UK VAT is 20%

In UK 63% of petrol price is tax element.

The only area you listed where I agree UK government subsidises is education. But then that's where your taxes go to.


Other things you didn't mention.

In UK there is radio and TV licence.

In UK there is council tax

In UK income above £50k per year is taxed at 40%

Airports are run privately and not by government

Most Train services are private and not government owned.

So what then is UK government doing with all its resources??

Are you for real?

When last did you see potholes on UK highways?

Those roads that are like roads in video games, where you can cruise with your ride and it will almost be like you’re flying.

Let’s not even talk about their military might, fighter jets they produce...

The tax burden in the Uk is obviously much, but you can’t ask what they are doing with it, juxtaposing that with Nigeria in order to absolve leaders here from graft.

Why can't they toll only new routes?

I am not in support of repair/extension of a road on an already existing route and then erecting tolls. This just adds to the suffering of people in my opinion, adds more traffic on those routes, not to talk of the cost of paying a toll for each and every pass, unlike a more forgiving scheme, where toll passes could be paid for ahead of time for a certain duration, thereby cutting the cost of paying per pass.

I do however strongly support tolls on new routes such as the Lekki-Ikoyi Link bridge. Obviously, some may argue that this bridge could still be toll free and built with tax payers money, but as a society, having tolls such as these that solve problems and cut travel times should be encouraged. These would also help to pay for more infrastructure, given there in sincere leadership, which is hard to come by all over Nigeria.

The toll gate at Lekki-Epe, to me, is an example of corruption in Nigeria. If you are currently driving on that road tonight, please report to the house whether or not you have street lights and adequate lane markings on that road, or are you just driving in the dark?

NwaAmaikpe:




Very nostalgic.
It brings back my memories of the early 90's
My favorite toll-gate of all time was the Okigwe Toll gate, I'd tell you why

I had just accompanied a friend from Enugu to Mbaise for his traditional wedding rites and on our way back the coaster bus we hired spoilt just after that toll-gate.
We managed to roll it off the road and tried sleeping in it because it was verrrry late.

Well, long story shut.
We were robbed by almost 8 men.
All the ladies in the bus were raped including the bride we just went to bring home.
Her moans were something else...they were more of pleasure and that was the begining of my fetish for bedding married women.

What is nairaland coming too, that mods will allow such disgusting posts to remain on the front page?

May God punish this bastarrd for trying to turn rape into a positive

Disgusting bastarrrd!

As for nairaland, if you're not careful, your site will be hacked or spammed to the upteenth degree and I want to know if mods will be happy to see posts on the front page all hidden

fix your gaddam site

CC Seun, Mynd44, OAM4J

By using shirtless thugs with cutlass?

After that, what would you do with your cutlass wielding thugs? Release them on the innocent public ba?

When I watched the video, I thought I'd see a convoy of police coming in for the arrest, not butchers.

This country is too weird for me

Nairalanders always supporting touts

Almost the whole country, Governors neglect their basic duties, like providing pipe borne water.

You go to America, you open your tap, water flows, you pay a bill

You go to Nigeria, you first have to do research, does the estate provide water? Or do I need bore hole? Or do I call Tanker


Yet, Yet, the miscreants hail them as the best thing since sliced bread.

Even almighty Lagos, with their tollgate Tinubu, 78 million naira website Fashola and Sanwo olu now, still, you can't get government water even in the highest brow areas of lagos, were property is worth millions of dollars and feature open gutters.

Why should students at a renowned university, not be able to open their taps and get drinking water?

I'm just sick and tired of all you Nigerians, including you reading this, that will still lay down with your family on the road, just so these useless governors and leaders can walk all over you.

Why can't we organize to get technocrats at the helms of affairs?

It's 2021 for crying out loud!

So nobody in Lagos is using water supplied by the government?

pricklewane:
I chose to ignore the other rubbish you wrote n still do not believe you are Yoruba but I will respond to this quote from you.



Only lunatics like you sing about tribalism when it suits you. If Buhari appoint his aboki relative into national office your father will be running naked all over NL but here you are complaining about the same tribalism. In your pathetic logic of reasoning tribalism should only suit the foolishness from your foolish household.

Tinubu is mediocrity but if you are asked to list present n former governors that performed fairly in Yoruba land since 1999 2 1/2 of every 3 will be Tinubu's protégé with your deluded father not having 0000000.0001% to contribute.

People like me should not be done away with if you know how to reasoning logically, reason being that as bad as Tinubu is, he is still beta than each n every option available so myopic unintelligent oafs like you deserve to be beaten beyond recognition n stopped from commenting online until you can list verifiable alternatives to Tinubu. With the few points of mine, I believe you can now understand why getting a rope or facing the Lagos lagoon is the only alternative left to your nauseating n disgusting existence.

Note - you are free to commit suicide over any mistake in my comment. I have lil time to proof read comments to lunatic with flawed reasoning.

Lol, see logic

Didn't Tinubu put all the governors after him there?

So what do you mean by if you select a governor it would be one of his proteges? like of course it will, duuuh!

Oshigun:
Go and start your own thread and promote whoever you want. What many of you are too unintelligent to see is that even your own behaviour show you all believe the Tinubu is President-in-waiting and the candidate to beat.

If not you will focus more on promoting and selling your own candidate and less on trying to discredit Tinubu in the eyes of Nigerians. You guys are winning him more support and fans plus giving him free publicity and fame.

If sure of yourself then sell your candidate because it is pathetic non of you are doing this while you all focus obsessively on insulting Tinubu daily 24/7.

lol, but why are you working so hard to support a Tinubu

That should be the real question.

emonis88:
y do we always ve politicians who want to foist d worst candidate on d people cus of their own selfish desires?

I'm sure if Hitler was alive and a Nigerian, some tribe would promote him saying...

WHO IS BETTER THAN HITLER?

w

Oshigun:
They are already here and having palpitations lol. All the while, they waste our time insulting Tinubu and foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs while failing, as usual, to sell the candidacy of any Igbo.

There actions reveal what is really in their mind they all think they do a good job hiding.

See this one sha

Is your only goal in life to promote the worst politicians?

All you guys want is to "MAKE IGBO CRY", lol, even if that means your family crys too

Yeye black man, still discussing COW in 2021

Jerryherd:




Who else is better than him

Give me just one single Politician in the South that can match his Resume and CV in Private Career (PricewaterhouseCoopers, ExxonMobil, Delliote Anderson Auditing)

His Career in Business (INTELS, Alphabeta, TVC, Compass finance Chicago LLC, TheNation Newspaper)

His Career in Politics (Senator, Two terms Governor of the most prosperous State in Nigeria)

His infrastructure and policies which are the model blueprint of new lagos

How many state has Bus Rapid Transit System which Tinubu single handedly established

How many Politicians built a State owned Power Plant

How many Politicians have a project like Lekki Housing scheme or PPP project like Lagos Atlantic an Artificial manmade Island




.

lol, this guy asked that, in the whole of Nigeria, who is better than Tinubu?

sigh, Nigerians sha

That's how they were asking, in the whole of Nigeria, who is better than Buhari?

You would think these guys (Tinubu/Buhari) were so advanced, that they had created TESLA, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, GOOGLE, all by themselves, lol.

efighter:
We will hear from him when his bandit brothers abduct his uncles, aunties, nephews and nieces. Until then, the Ghost will remain quiet.

I just watched Adesina saying the president would be a talkative if he always comes out to talk

like... is that guy for real?

Buhari hasn't come out to talk to reporters in YEARS and Adesina still thinks him a talkative, na wa!
