Discussion is not aabout Nigerians, Mexicans or Europeans, it's about check balancing illegal immigration. Nations have done and curbed to extent.

Biden has refused to visit the southern boarder, probably can't stare into those ICE staffs. You can't make illegal legal by remorse or pity. It is what it is. So do I say you support the recent surge at the Southern boarder?

Between the last 10 years till date, as America been stronger or weaker in it's immigration policies? Now it's termed wickedness for advocating what's right and I have to be on the open the boarders side.

Do you think of the impact and effect of this policies you support? I know what plays around and I can authoritatively tell you that, amongst great Nations, America has the weakest immigration system. Does that mean nations who have buffered the system are evil?

How about people who migrate legally, are they fools? Let's call a spade a spade, cos no point will make illegality legal. It's weaken the system.

Peolosi has acknowledged surge and blaming on Trump, thats an acknowledgment that she is aware of the rise.
I am sorry to say, but you are exhibiting the usual "pulling down the ladder once I get to the top to prevent others from using the same ladder" syndrome. I am not sure whether it is hatred for other blacks like yourself or the love of white (European) supremacists that made you take their talking points.

I am sure either you or close members of your family did not enter the US as a legal immigrant. You either went with a student visa or a visiting visa and then struggled for a green card and then passport. Why don't they talk of illegal Eastern or Western European immigrants? You mean to tell me there are no illegal European immigrants in the US? O I forgot, the Republicans prefers Norwegians to Mexicans or Nigerians.

Me, I can never immigrate to the US. I got a 4 year visa in the 80s and only spend 3 weeks before leaving. But I do not quarrel with those who immigrate to the US or any other country for a better life.

Humans (and animals too) had been immigrating since the beginning of life on earth. The first humans were speculated to come out of central/southern Africa and through immigration colonized the while world. Humans immigrate looking for better life - food, shelter, mate or in modern times money. And no force in the universe can stop that.

Nigerians and other Africans still attempt to cross the Mediterranean in flimsy rafts and boats to get to Europe, despite thousands drowning at sea yearly and another thousands being killed and raped in war torn Libya.

As long as their are wars, instability, poverty and lack of economic opportunities, people will immigrate to better places irrespective of risks and laws. The same thing happened in Europe during the 18th and 19th century when millions of Europeans emigrated to the Americas, Africa and Australia in search of better opportunities.

I swear, if I was a Resident of this community, I'll relocate by this month's end, cos IKEDC will blacklist them till they do the following:
1. Produce the attackers
2. Foot the medical bills + heavy compensation for the victim.
3. Sign an MOU never to attack or prevent Staff of IKEDC from carrying their duty.
This is blackmail. And the blackmail is possible because the government allowed monopoly of the power sector. If the community is allowed to source their electricity from another company, would IKEDC be blackmailing people anyhow?

It's like MTN treatening to cut off a customer because someone beat up their official.

It is wrong to violently attack electricity company personnel. Seriously prepaid meter will stop all these confrontations. In some African countries, customers pay a small amount and the prepaid meter is installed. When they recharge the meter, 20% of the amount is deducted to offset the balance for the prepaid meter. They should try and implement that in Nigeria.
You should also advice electricity company personnels to stop violently disconnecting customers without justification or prior notice. The NERC guidelines forbids electricity company personnels from carrying ladder up and down disconnecting people without notice.

Which yeye job was he doing? Did you not read that the area did not have light for 3 weeks, and IKEDC brought brought estimated bill for just one week of electricity (even thought during the one week, there was still load shedding).

All these problems could easily be solved by providing meters and stopping estimated billing.

One of the reasons why the white race is making progress is because they engage themselves more in research and the black race keeps instigating hate and nepotism any where they go.
We black Africans are averse to research and knowledge. We are more spiritual and religious. Hence we have far more worship centres than research centres, libraries and museums, and thus spend all our time worshiping and little time researching.

So you are only looking at it from the biological angle and not the financial. Okay lets deal with the biological first.
I am not looking at it from only the biological perspective, I mentioned physiologically, psychologically and otherwise.

How many children should the average woman have? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?? In these hard times, it is sensible not to give birth to more than three kids. So you telling me a woman who starts giving birth in her 30s can’t have kids without issues before she reaches menopause? Really?
You sound sexist. It's should be how many children should a family have and not just women. The number of children a woman should have does not entirely depend on the woman but on her family, most especially her husband.

Now the number of children a family should have depends on the needs of the family, and believe me, it's does not depend mostly on family fortune. I have some billionaire friends who have only 2 children. Meanwhile there are some mechanics, petty traders and other low income earners who have 5 or more children.

Secondly, are you saying women should get married and have kids irrespective of their financial ability to take of the kids because all they need to consider first is their age? There is a lot to having children than just age, you do know that.
women had been getting married and having kids irrespective of financial ability since the time of Adam. In fact the fact that you have financial ability at the time of marriage does not guarantee financial ability throughout marriage. Most families have a period of financial instability. Even Bill Gates and Elon Musk got married before they achieved financial stability.
What is more important than immediate financial ability as you call it is financial vision, financial planning, hard work and of course luck.

When you marry a good, compatible and loving woman, instead of a slay mama, you can start from zero and end up a hero in a very short time.
The two could complement each other to achieve great things.

I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career.

I cannot take this advice of yours nor give it to others because having kids is more than just bearing them, you also have to raise them. Even if by 35 a lady has finished bearing kids, raising them would take another 10-15 years till they are old enough to find their own paths in life. So your argument of having kids makes family planning easier in terms of not just spacing of the kids but also their future and then having a career as well does not stand.
From your comments it's obvious you don't have any kids. If you do, you would not belch out "it takes another 10 to 15 years to raise children before they are old enough find their own paths in life". Some children find their own path early and leave their parents before their 18th birthday, some are still dependent on their parents well into their 40s. The critical time for raising children is from birth until they start primary school. That is the time they need at least one of the parents the most. By the time they enter secondary school, they should be fairly independent (and I don't mean financially) to be able to take care if themselves. For the western world, children in universities are required to have some degree of financial autonomy by working part time. It's only in Nigeria that a university student would expect his or her parents to pay tuition fees, house rent, feeding money, cloth money, and everything else until he or she finishes master's or PhD.


If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you have kids and you are not financially capable or ready to take care of them, you would end up forfeiting the remaining part of you active years to raising those kids which means you would have to shelve a lot of your dreams and aspirations in order to cater for those kids. I have seen it over and over again.

To sum up, my point is that one should only get married and have kids when they are financially capable and ready to commit to that 18+ years of nurturing and raising them and not because you are avoiding having them in your 30s. Marriage is nice and kids are lovely to have but if you don’t plan properly you might plunge yourself into perpetual poverty. This goes for both men and women.
Even the Omotola Ekeinde we are talking about got married at about 18 years, birthed and raised 5 children, pursued a very successful career in acting and now at 42 her last born is 18 years. Would she have had such a successful life if she married at 35?

My wife was 24 when I married her and by 32, after 3 children, we are through with child bearing. After our last born entered nursery school, she started a new career in baking. I opened an eatery outlet for her last year and she is doing really quite well despite the pandemic.

Which Europe wey 27 year old be married woman? You sure say you done ever go d Europe wey you dey talk about so? Europe wey full with divorced and unmarried women. Go Tinder, Bumble, Badoo, e.t.c, go see how dem full there dey find fun and companionship.

Besides since when did getting married become an achievement and a determination of a person’s success in life? Na wa oo. Try get sense na abeg!

I swear enn, to slap you dey hungry me! angry
I support her even though the assertion that "27 years old is a married woman in Europe" is not entirely correct. In feminist leaning Europe ladies enter their 30s or even 40s pursuing a career rather than a family.

Having said that, I support that ladies should be encouraged to marry and have their children early. It makes family planning easier. When I say family planing, I mean not just about having children, but also planing for the children's education and wife's career.

It should be considered that women are physiologically, psychologically and spiritually different from men. Women's biological clocks run faster than that of men. A woman getting married in her 30s has less than 20 years of child bearing left. Furthermore, a woman bearing children late 30s and 40s present extra risks both to mother and child.
I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career.

---Democracy is definetely a game of numbers---majority carry the votes---
Not in US democracy. Here a party (the republican party) could lose the popular votes by up to 60% of total votes cast and still win the presidential elections.

Also in the legislative elections, majority does not necessarily win the Senate or house.
California’s 39 million people get two senators in Washington, while two Senators also represent states like Wyoming (578,000 people), Vermont (626,000 people), and Alaska (737,000 people). In 2013, the New York Times pointed out that the six senators from California, Texas, and New York represented the same number of people as the 62 senators from the smallest 31 states.

US style democracy put small populated rural states at huge advantage, while state with highly populated cities are highly underrepresented.

Romanoff:
What if his wife is a house wife?
Then she should be more concerned about the upkeep and wellbeing of her own immediate family.
What will she say if her husband sends money every months to his own parents while there are needs - school fees, house rents, utilities, medical fees, groceries, etc of the family.?

I know families that as a working wife, the wife is responsible for the upkeep of both parents, even to their cable TV subscription, the hubby tends to other bills.
She can do whatever she wants with her own money, but it's wrong to put the responsibility of the upkeep of her family on her husband. The man's family would not be ok with such arrangement.

If he's buoyant enough to place his father in law on a allowance, I repeat that there's nothing wrong in it.
If the wife's family wants to make the intending husband the sole provider for her entire family, they should have made the demand during the traditional wedding negotiations, so the man can know what he is in for. But, it is immoral to start making demands after collecting millions from the man all in the name of bride bride and wedding arrangements and then later demand he builds a house for her father and give him monthly salary.

You are wrong. Lots of people asking him to ignore the wife's family have passed through similar problems.

It is not advisable to totally ignore you family or inlaws family irrespective of their behaviour. No one knows what tomorrow may breed.
Bone that thing. It is when tomorrow comes and you need their help that you will realise they no send you. Most of us have been disappointed by people you helped thinking they would help you in return when you need their help.

Once thing I perceive from this is that the poster loves his wife very much and that love that extends to her family
So because you love your wife, her family should use that to blackmail and extort money from you?

Like someone said, put them on a stipend agreed by u and ur wife and stick to it... Don't be afraid to be termed stingy or wicked inlaw. They will always say but with time , they will adjust.
Put them on stipend, why? Are they providing any service to you or your family? So her whole family will be sitting on their ass and be expecting monthly salary from me. What about stipends to my own father, mother, brothers and sisters? Don't they deserve monthly stipends from me also.
What's so annoying is that a man is not only expected to provide comfort for their daughter, but but provide for her whole family also. All in the name of love.
I wouldn't advise u blank them totally. Tomorrow is pregnant
If they are going to give you stress and heart attack, you blank them out completely. You only live once.

Hillary lost the elections because of poor strategic planning. She did little to court the support of Bennie Sanders and his supporters who felt betrayed in the primaries and she took the "blue wall states" of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania for granted. Instead of campaigning in these states, she was campaigning in red states she had little or no chance of winning.

Even at that she received 48.2% of total votes, while Trump received 41.6%, which was still in the projected poll figures.

Bro... let me give u a formula for free......Practise 70,10,10,10.....What this mean is that Out of Ur income either monthly or weekly....70% shod go for ur necessity like feeding paying bills and others.10% FOR GIVING(STICK TO IT).10% is for savings and the other 10% is to invest.
Okay, let me talk on the aspect of GIVING which is our concern . To give is good but u cannot kill urself. If u have exacted d 10% for that month/week then any other request that come for u to help or give (not emergency) has to b shifted forward when u have another 10%. Tell them u will give but u don't have now.
As for Ur father in-law. U can get him something that can b generating fund for him like keke or okada just something.Someone can b driving it for him... What they call balance and take..U can just b giving him money once a while... mind u from that 10% giving. U didn't mention Ur own parents . Don't quarrel with anybody it doesn't worth it.
Why is he obliged to get him keke or Okada? Why did they not make that part of the bride requirements before accepting to give away their daughter. It smacks of dishonesty to start making making demands after collecting the bride price and other items.

If he is required to buy keke for the wife's father, what of his own father and mother, what should he buy for them? Maybe he should buy Guy wagon for his own father as he owes much more to his father than his wife's father.

I was convinced by a topic on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6433385/how-saved-brother-marrying-into/1

I went to Nigeria to bring my wife some years agom ever since we arrived it has always been money, money, materials, materials especially money. At some point my wife accused me of trying to separate her from her siblings. I told her that a time is coming she will be begging me to help her stop them. It has happened and is now happening. As a matter of fact I even brought her dad for a visit from Nigeria. Her dad was a God fearing person but the moment he started living with his oldest shameless and jobless son he has been brainwashed that her daughter and her husband owe them especially me. It's always about money, money, money. The oldest son is a jobless and shameless irresponsible man that impregnated a woman and they now have four kids. I have even got a job for him from here but he refused to go and work there in Nigeria.

Not minding the fact that he even have other siblings in abroad. One of those in abroad is always in support of this stupid irresponsible oldest guy but the other one is a very intelligent person and knows the whole truth.

If you send money to the dad now trust me he will request another in less than a week which obviously the irresponsible was the one telling the dad what to say. There was no time my wife or me or we call the dad that the irresponsible will not pretend he's not there but will put the phone on speaker so he can listen to our concert with the dad. All he's doing is yahoo and Yahoo. The second born there with him is a little bit fair but they all the same.

They always have this strong believe that their sister who is my wife owe them because they always says they took care of her. This is one of the reasons their sister who is my wife and the other siblings in abroad are yet to build a house for their dad. The oldest irresponsible always cause trouble, tell lies and create issues that the dad will be telling his children abroad that he's gonna curse them if they don't build house for him or send certain mount on so so so date. I am really tired and confused. Enough is enough because I also have my own family to look after. Even a bike I never buy sef.

I am beginning to regret getting married in the first place. I love my wife and we have been together for over a decade and half even before we get married. But my wife is now their enemy because she always turn them down now. Infarct of I mention the irresponsible man's name or talk about se don't a penny to them she will go mad for days. Everythinf about them is money, money, money, build house for our dad, etc. The guy is now a yahoo + man over 40 yrs with no future and still unambitious.

My wife and I have wasted a lot of money on his travelling but he doesn't even care. Imagine all the siblings in abroad have been sending money for their dad's house rent only for the landlord to tell us that this guy's has never paid a kobo for almost two years. All he's about is to drink fvck and club.. very dirty hungry looking guy. They never appreciate anything indo for them, instead it's always more more and more. There was a time this guy tried to fight me but I just ignored him.and since then I never talk to him again till now. But they are bullying my wife emotionally that she cries almost everyday now uptill this morning when I asked her what happened and she told me that her brother the irresponsible man sent a nasty message to her.

But the other ones in another will always tell her that she and them need to take care of their dad and must send him money regardless of who highjack it as long as God knows they did the right thing, please how does this make sense? I need opinion on this in particular. How could you be sending money to the dad when you know that the idiot is the one that will collect and spend the money because he's with the dad's ATM card? Does that make sense?

I only pity one of the two siblings in another country that always support him and that one's wife have started complaining to my wife too because they gist a lot.

Sad sad
Sorry for your predicament but you caused your own problems. Your wife's family problems is not your own responsibility, you can assist if you choose to, but they are not your responsibility. Did you not pay the complete bride of price? Did you not complete all the marriage demands? So what do you owe her family again?

The problem is that it's you that spoilt them. You started out by being an ATM and they expect you to forever be an ATM. How come it's your responsibility to build house for her dad? Have you build a house for your own dad and mum, who toiled to make sure you went to school and became a success in life? What contributions has your wife's family contributed to your life?

My wife's dad tried this shit with me, I played ball to for a couple of years, but when the stress became too much, I stopped and blocked his number and in fact all her family's number except her junior sister who is very reasonable. I told my wife that if she wants this marriage to succeed we must build our finances and lives together, because at the time 100% of the family expenses fell on my head. I could not take her own family responsibility as well. We did not see her father for 8 years. He only came to see his grand children about 2 months ago, and I apologized for all, but explained that I needed to build my family. We speak occasionally and he still ask for money, but this time with begging.
A man must learn up to stand up for himself and his family.

Is that not the exclusive preserve of you christians? You pick a few verses in isolation to support your belief or dogma, and then ignore all other verses that is contrary to your beliefs from the same bible, sometimes from the same chapter.

This was what you claimed;
Scientist have always claimed the earth was flat. When did the discover that it wasn't, is it not in the 17th century, when the Bible has said so thousands of years back.
I called you out to name the scientists. You then post a Wikipedia article that was actually contrary to your claims.
Now you change mouth with "at least there was a time when there was a believe in a flat Earth until a later time." So what? Millions of people still believe the earth is flat. Your claim was about scientists.

Flat Earth - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth
You really need to go back to primary school to learn how to read.

I am still wondering whether you cannot read or you cannot comprehend what you read.

This is what your Wikipedia link says;
The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat earth error, is a modern historical misconception that European scholars and educated people during the Middle Ages believed the Earth to be flat rather than spherical.

The earliest clear documentation of the idea of a spherical Earth comes from the ancient Greeks (5th century BC). The belief was widespread in the Greek world when Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of Earth around 240 BC. This knowledge spread with Greek influence such that during the Early Middle Ages (~600–1000 AD), most European and Middle Eastern scholars espoused Earth's sphericity.[3] Belief in a flat Earth among educated Europeans was almost nonexistent from the Late Middle Ages onward, though fanciful depictions appear in art, such as the exterior panels of Hieronymus Bosch's famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, in which a disc-shaped Earth is shown floating inside a transparent sphere.[4]

According to Stephen Jay Gould, "there never was a period of 'flat Earth darkness' among scholars, r regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now.

Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell says the flat-Earth error flourished most between 1870 and 1920, and had to do with the ideological setting created by struggles over biological evolution. Russell claims "with extraordinary few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat",
So where in this articled proved that scientist believed in a flat Earth until recently as claimed by you?

The Bible - Isa 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

And this his bible proof that the world is spherical? Ok where is the circle of the earth that we can find the Lord sitting?

And what about the inhabitants that are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain?

Op I think you should try and study the Bible without sentiment, study it with an open mind and you will see the lies they made us believe....

The tower of Babel was destroyed by God, and he confused humans with different languages because they wanted to build a tower that will reach up to the sky, that way they would be able to see him "God".

But God didn't want this to happen, hence which led to the destruction of the tower.

But today we have a 3,000 foot tall building standing in Dubai (Burj khalifa).

Today, we have rockets going to space.

Today we have jets, aeroplanes and more flying thousands of feet's above the ground but God didn't destroy them.

Tell me what happened bro, I need good explanations cos a brother is about to become an atheist.

Is God now afraid of humans?

Why didn't he destroy the Burj khalifa, the jets, the airplanes? Huh?
Don't mind 21st century supposedly thinking man thinking like bronze age people. Man or should I say men traveled to the moon, just last week man landed a vehicle on Mars. Here we have people believing that a structure that barely was probably not higher than the pyramids and certainly not higher than mount everest got God to panic and out of fear destroyed it and scattered their language.

Stop the attack. Speak with facts. If you don't have one don't act like babies or girls or weak men.


They area you highlighted in my comment are facts or not? Speak your defense and stop claiming intelligent without valid points cause you've said basically nothing
Which fact? Which scientist said the world was flat? Name them.
Where did the bible present proof that the world was round or spherical?

The bible never presented itself as a book of science. That's a jacket people ignorant about science tries to fit it.

Who's praying with you?


Does bomb created by man equate one man?

Man is the constant innovation and competition to build the most dangerous weapons and for who? To save the world, I guess, in their myopic understanding.


Scientist have always claimed the earth was flat. When did the discover that it wasn't, is it not in the 17th century, when the Bible has said so thousands of years back.

The owner of the universe has proclaimed that the earth would last forever. Why are scientist pursuing vain things?


No one is praying anything. I can't even pray more than 3mins. The Bible gives wisdom, that's all I'm saying, read it.
I really feel sorry for people like you. You exude so much ignorance and helplessness that your only sense of self worth is some belief. You are incapable of thinking for your self, you are incapable of solving problems in your own life. You belief system makes you believe the solution to your life's problems lies with others or some external factors. This is why you are so exploited psychologically and materially.

Please improve yourself, get better educated, get better skills, expend your mental energy on productive things that will improve yourself and those around you.

You are too darn ignorant.

The most educated man built the bomb that destroys humans life.

Being educated without godliness ends in stupidity.

We're humans before things. Because we care more about things humans lives have lost value.


Most of the problems scientist are trying to solve were created by them too.

Name it ozone depletion, viruses from multiple mates, chasm between the rich and the poor, money as a means of transaction ....

Nothing can wipe out the world not even asteroids....you cant use 100 or a 1000 years of knowledge to cotrol something that took millions of years to create....it's only being arrogant
There is so much ignorance here that I don't know how to respond. You probably never open a science textbook in your life.
Bombs have been built since the discovery of gun powder.
Nuclear power was used to make nuclear bomb not by the effort of one man but by thousands of the world's best scientists through the Manhattan project.

Asteroid Apophis also called doomsday asteroid has a possibility of hitting the earth around 2068. If it does, it will wipe out most life on Earth, including humans. The west and other serious nations are already planing counter measures to avoid the collision. Meanwhile you guys are so ignorant and oblivious praying and speaking in tongues.

Some countries have legalised rape, weed, incest & bestiality, that must be intelligent too?
And these are the issues that affect your existence the most, so you spend all your mental energy on them. Some people are more concerned with looking for vaccines to save mankind from viruses, others are looking for solutions to deflect asteroids from wiping out the world, others steal are looking for solution to climate change. You on the other hand is more obsessed with other people's sex lives. Talk about misplaced priority.

Politicians are sabotaging states money you people should hold them accountable and stop the noise.
Since independence still now no electricity in Nigeria yet you people are keeping quiet.
How is this related to the subject under discussion?

Shouldn't the number of pentecostals speaking in tongues in hundreds of thousands of churches in nigeria everyday be enough to stop politicians sabotaging our country and provide electricity and all the good things of life?

How come we are the most religious country in the world and at the same time the poorest?

You cannot understand the things of the spirit by the flesh. How will you know the benefits of speaking in tongues when you don't speak.
Jesus often speak in parables, and the pharisees never understood him.
Speaking in tongues may not print money but it can open closed doors of opportunities that will yield money.
So it's speaking in tongues that will open doors to opportunities and not skills, education and hard work? We will remain the poverty capital of the world for a very long time.

Now tell me, how many people speak in tongues in Japan, Germany or Korea to make them some of the richest countries of the world?

you people like to criticize what you understand,by his speaking of tounges God blesses him with spiritual gifts which he uses to solve people's problem and the people may thank him with material things .He does not touch any tithe or offering of church members.
An ex general once gave him 1 million dollars for solving his problem,think off the others we don't know
Where did the ex general get $1million which is about N400 million to dash apostle suleman? How much is the salary of a general? Even if the soldier entered service as a general, his total salary cannot be up to N400million in his 35 years of service.
Pentecostals promoting stealing since the death of Christ.

N144,000 is the cost of the solar panel not deep cycle batteries.

You hurry to type what u don't even understand.
Me I no know English o. You that understand engliah abeg helep me translate this sentence for pidgin;
To own a solar unit, there will be the option of paying N4,000 monthly for three years. That translates to N144, 000 a unit.

Simplyleo:
So what's the power output of a unit of the solar panel?

A solar panel just convert the solar energy, you need other associated accessories which might even be more expensive.

Besides, solar panels that can comfortably power an average home with 2 AC, Fridge, and few low power consuming equipment can't be less than 500k.

Yes, I said it.
500k ke? Your battery alone would cost more than 500k. Even if the ACs are 1hp, 2 ACs would be about 1600 watts, add 150watts for frigde and we are talking about 1750 watts, and we have not even considered other loads, lights,TVs,etc. We should be looking at a load of 2500watts. And since we are talking about ACs and freezers, you will need a pure sine wave inverter. Now the minimum inverter you can use is 5kva inverter. A good 5 kva pure sinewave inverter can cost between 300,000 to 500,000k

Now your battery depends on your run time. For a run time of 6 hrs, you need nothing less than a 6000AH set up for 50% DOD. That's 30 200ah battery. At about N180,000 for a good 200ah battery, you can do the maths.
We have not even considered the number of solar panels that can charge 30 200ah batteries.
