Coincidentally I'm using the Genus Hi-Flo 4.2kVA 24V paired with a 3kwh luxwatt battery, the fan is always on but not to the extent it could disturb my sleep, where it's mounted isn't up to 10 feet away from the wall it shares with the room I sleep once in a while. The only time the fan becomes very noisy is when the sun's intensity increases suddenly (not all the time) and also when I decide to do a quick off-grid ironing (pressing iron is about 2000w).
The noise isn't even my concern anyways but my total setup's output - the highest PV reading I've ever seen is 1.1kw even during peak sun hours. I use three 685w bifacial Runergy panels mounted on the roof.
My questions are:
1. Is this output good enough even though I hardly overwork the system, highest load percentage is 7% when my fridge is on?
2. Will there be any difference if the panels are mounted on a carport since they are bifacial?

Check your inverter manual and check what your max amp is set to on your inverter. It is most probably at default 50-60a, Increase it to 100 or what your battery specify and observe.

Pele my dear😂. So na that small English do your system like this? This is why we constantly urge you to embrace the western education.
I know comprehension is not everyone’s strong suit but please try reading it over again, the answer to your confusion is hiding there. I choose my words very carefully to ensure zero contradiction.
Clue: “silent”😂
Away from that, Iran has two options. Either to ditch its nuclear ambition and enjoy unmatched economic growth and financial freedom or to remain adamant and continue getting pounded by the US, the ball is in their court.
So yes, them knowing what to do to ensure peace but choosing to fight a war they are bound to lose is what makes them the “silent” aggressors in this case. I don’t want to call them aggressors because that’s going to be a big exaggeration for such a spineless country😂.
if no be say una head dey leak oil, how on earth is the country stopping another one from developing weapons that can destroy the world the aggressor?
Those who already have them aren’t fighting wars using them (e.g Russia Vs Ukraine, Pakistan Vs India, North Korea Vs South, The US Vs Iran, Israel Vs Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. It’s only Iran that wants it in order to be able to fight fairly
If this country called Iran could decide to hold the whole world hostage using what it has (the strait of Hormuz) and without minding the fact that its action is also affecting even his own supporters, what makes you think such a suicidal country would hesitate to use nukes if it had them?
Will these nukes differentiate between we the sane ones and you the Iran’s supporters if detonated?
We are not going to be gifting some volatile countries the ability to destroy our world all because of your religious affiliations with them. We are not gifting short-fused countries the weapons that are strictly meant to be handled by sane and stable countries and people. One thing will always be constant and that thing is that no hot-headed, volatile and unstable country will be allowed to have nukes and that is that. If you aren’t cool with that, book the next available flight to Tehran, your 72 virgins are waiting for you or don’t you want to enter Jannah like Ayatollah?
You are being ignored now.

Sorry it was my bad, I thought I was debating with someone intelligent. Now i overstand.
Stay blessed.

UrVillageChief:
Bro, come off this emotional outburst already and stop making it seem as if Iran is not shooting back at the US simply because the US has nukes. Seeing your silly comments, someone who’s not conversant with international politics would erroneously think that nukes are what the US is using in bombarding Iran at the moment and Iran can’t attack back since it doesn’t have any🤣 No, that’s not the case!
Iran can’t start a war as the aggressors to even start with because they are underdogs. Underdogs can never be aggressors, they can only be silent aggressors. In this case, Iran is a silent aggressor because wanting to build the weapon in order to be able to fight fairly is already an act of aggression.
It would have been so much understandable if nukes were all what the US has been using to threaten them into submission but no, nobody is threatening them with nukes.
Stop lying to yourself, you aren’t having this conversation with kids, you are actually having it someone old enough to birth you. The US isn’t attacking Iran with nukes, Iran should fight back without nukes too if it’s capable. Having nukes doesn’t make you automatically invincible, it only means that you can decide to go suicidal and this is the reason why smaller countries are never going to be allowed to have them because these weapons that nobody wants to use will ultimately be their go-to, first and final defense.
Nobody is nuking Iran and as such, Iran should return the blows it’s getting from the US right now in kind. Again, we aren’t gifting nukes to suicidal, volatile and weak countries because they will have no other means to fight fairly except to use them.
You are being ignored.

Oga stay one place and stop contradicting yourself with emotional outburst with no iota of proof but only beer parlour gossip.

You were the one that says Iran are terrorist and are very volatile, I aske you to prove it buy giving one instance when they have been the aggressor, Now you are confirming they are not the aggressor. So what gives you the right to say they will use the nuke if it is their procession when they have never for once been the aggressor.

The US of A who has always been the aggressor and who with Israel attacked unprovoked can have it but the sleeping dog can not. You need to re-evaluate your sense of reasoning.

I initially thought I was debating with someone who can substantiate its stance with evidence so that I can learn but never knew it was all based on western propaganda and what The almighty unpalatable US said about a country.

For the record, you were not able to established that Iran was the aggressor, wo all the blabbing about using a nuke if they have it is not scientifically or logically proven except the US and Israel says so. Also, you have not been able to contradict the fact that it is only the US that have used the weapon of mass destruction on another county. No other country have ever done that so let it sink.

You are entitle to your opinion if you do not want to learn, I will leave you to your ignorance and wish you well
Shalom.

UrVillageChief:
Ogbeni, I don’t have the ample time to continue engaging and indulging your long epistles. Let me quickly address your first paragraphs.
It is simply almost impossible to denuclearize the countries that already own them. Imagine the US or Russia denuclearizing only to later realize that either of them didn’t fully comply? These are two powerful countries that can stand toe-to-toe with each other even if nukes aren’t part of the equation unlike in the case of Iran Vs the USA. Removing nukes from either side would automatically turn the other into a big sitting duck.
The mistake you keep making as evident in your last statement is that, you’re still making it look as if these neighbors of yours can’t gazaed you even without the gun they own😁. The mistake you keep making is that you keep ignoring the fact that these said neighbors of yours can actually comfortably smoke you even without the guns. My friend, you are actually the only person who wants the gun in order to be able to fight him, he doesn’t need it to fight you.
Now the reason why these neighbors of yours can’t fully comply with discarding this gun is because he knows to well that you are definitely going behind his back to buy one since everyone knows you can’t compete fairly with him in a fist fight
If you are trying to say that Iran wouldn’t build it if other countries decided to all destroy their nuclear arsenals, remember that this same Iran was secretly and silently enriching their uranium even after promising not to. They were even being paid billions to not and little did the world know that it was actively working to have them built until they were caught.
So if you’re the US, would you offer to completely denuclearize after witnessing that act of treachery? Would you agree to fully denuclearize knowing fully well that unlike you, countries like Iran can’t fight wars fairly without nukes?
You must be very silly if you think I will drop my gun and start engaging someone who doesn’t stand a chance in a fist fight with me while knowing fully well it’s game over for me if he goes to get that same gun behind my back.
Lastly and I keep repeating this as this has been my point from the start:
[b]all the countries that have nukes today can fight actual wars without having to use nukes, Iran is the only country that wants it in order to be able to fight fairly and this is something we aren’t going to ever allow and that’s final! Simply put, Iran is the underdog that thinks owning nukes is the only way it can fight off its enemies. Can the US engage even the non-nuclear state of Russia or China in a war? So my friend, stop making it look as if nuke is the only thing the US has over Iran🙏🏽

Bros forget all these explain tire. I ask again give me just one instance where Iran has started a war as the aggressor. Just one pls.
I can give you about 20 that he US of A has.

and about Iran not being able to fight without the nuke, they do not have one presently but they are still withstanding the Isreal/USA war despite years of sanctions.

And your first statement, I sure you know you are not being truthful with your self. Either i fit beat you or not, once you have a gun that gives you an undue advantage already. That will deter me from bullying you even if I have a gun myself.

we just have to be fair and reasonable without being emotional coz of propaganda against a nation who have not been aggressive in any form over the years. And the funny thing is that it is the aggressor turned world police brandishing the propaganda

Heffalump:
Many of you are babies in global politics. Russia took nuke to Iran to destabilize the US/ Israel influence in the middle east. They said no, Iran cannot have such a lethal weapon. You guys said why not? America is now trying to balance the equation by arming Saudi in the same format. Now you've turned your blame on America. Are you ok?

Oga you can make your point without using derogatory statement on someone you do not know.

Now you that knows global politics, kindly provide a reference to the bolded.
Ok if we are even to assume the bolded is true, so why will US be attacking Iran for same thing it is advocating for the Sauds?
Distabilize middle east just because any other country there desire to have nuke just like Isreal to deter them

UrVillageChief:
I don’t even know where to start addressing your loads of gibberish but I’ll try as much as I possibly can. Going by this your “ofuitic” logic, let’s start giving nukes to volatile countries like Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq since “shebi others have them”😂😂

You can start by reasoning with your God given conscience devoid of any propaganda. I ask again will it not be better and safer for no one to have it and all that already does should destroy it?.

You and I are neighbours and we usually have fight, if some by some chance you heard that I have a Gun, be fair, would you not do all in your power to have a gun too?.

You can see that your logic that it is ok for some people to have it for whatever circumstances, but not ok for others even when they know their neighbour with it can decide to Gazaed them.

Question 1: [b]The reason why some countries are allowed to own while others aren’t is because some had already built it while others secretly did (e.g Pakistan). [/b]Israel for instance, never signed the NPT while Iran did but now backtracking. I should seriously not be taking you seriously for not knowing this. So your first question is wrong. Countries were/are never allowed to own them and today, if any country must build them, it must be strictly for civilian purposes and as such, it mustn’t be raised above that threshold. This was what Iran promised to do until findings later showed it had already gone past that threshold while receiving Obama’s free money.

At bolded, so when did the whole world come together to appoint a world police?. and who are those that decide which country to have or not?
Plus till today have Israel admitted having nukes?

You can not say my question is wrong if North Korea can have it despite the treats from the US of A. Do you notice the threats stopped just immediately after they tested it.

If you weren’t an aboa, you wouldn’t be expecting any right-thinking person to allow Iran of all countries to own them.

I do not expect any country to have a weapon capable of such irreversible damage to humanity. When Nagasaki and Hiroshima was attacked with an atomic bomb, all within range were affected including plant and animals. The bomb will not pick out only those active in the war, it will ravage a whole existence. So why keep such in your arsenal for decades if you have no intention of using it? So again will it not be better to stop all these selective acquisition of nuke just because some country have good media to sweet talk their justification of having it while others should not.

Did you know that Iran is the only country that openly teaches even its children and younger generation that it is a religious obligation to exterminate other people (The Jews and Americans)? Did you know it is the only country in the world that is actively gunning for building nukes and making its intentions about them crystal clear? Iran is the only country in the world that openly preaches the annihilation of other countries and civilizations (the Jews and Americans) Now you want us to hand nukes to such a country all because of your religious affiliations with them? [/b] Like seriously? You genuinely want us to hand nukes to a country that is already openly constantly chanting “death to America”, “death to Israel” even now that they don’t have the weapons? What do you think would happen if they eventually have them and they are being beaten wotoporiusly by let’s say, the US or Israel, you think they would hesitate to use them?

No I do not know. You can help me with some verifiable links (pls not western or isreal controlled media) to cure my ignorance. I am a student ready to learn and not base my opinion on beer parlour gist. What my history book has made me know is the fact that of all country that develop the weapon, only the US of A has have the need to use it on another independent country. That is fact that is not base on emotions or religious phobia.

Please retighten those loose screws!🙏🏽

I definitely will. Thanks

My friend, if any country must be allowed to own them at all, it shouldn’t be a volatile, hot-headed and shot-fused one!. It shouldn’t be a country whose aim of building them is to be able to fight off its bullies. All the other countries that own them today can fight actual wars without going nuclear, Iran can’t! That’s the difference my friend

This seems to me you are referring to Isreal sir. or am I mistaking, in less than a year now they are the only country I know to have established theatres or war in more than 4 fronts. They attacked Iran first unprovoked first on the 12 days war and then the current one. Please tell me (again not western propaganda) just one country, just one that Iran have taken or used their volatile, hot-headed and shot-fused . as you put it on. I am ready to learn sir (pls do not come with the sponsor terrorist rhetoric, its stale already)

Now, about Pakistan,
Pakistan isn’t using it on India simply because it is aware of the ugly consequences, and not because it doesn’t want to
If it ever tries that nonsense, trust me, before nightfall, Pakistan will become ancient ruins. Also, Pakistan is about the most stable powerful Muslim country in Asia and the ME as it stands today. This country can be trusted with nukes to a large extent because it has proven that it is mature enough to own and handle them.

So the post already changed, it is no more Muslim country again (because i can give you more examples) it is not knowing the consequences. that is fine. Now my question is what tells you that Iran will not be aware of the Ugly consequences

Do you now realize how silly you sound?
At least, we don’t hear “death to America” or “death to India/Israel” on the streets of Islamabad like it’s being sang in Tehran This same thing is also true about the people’s republic of Korea. NK isn’t seen as a threat to any human race, religion or creed because they aren’t religiously radicalized to think that there are some human races that need to be exterminated in order to gain religious dominance The NK isn’t known for sponsoring terrorists. Earlier before now, Iran used to deny sponsoring Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis rebel. It’s only now that they’ve stopped denying 🤣

Yes I may sound silly to you just because I do not just say YES to what US said. So just saying that is a justification to attack them right?. So Venezuelans was also chanting that before US attacked them. (oh sorry silly me again it was because of drug cartels)

Lastly, The only country that has ever used the WMD on another country, the US, being the world captain that they are, are now preaching and making sure that such a disaster never happens again by making sure that no hot-headed country is going to be allowed to own them. That’s actually very commendable of them. You are making it look as if they (the US) nuked another country just after preventing others from building them😂

Pls do not change the goal post the discussion cantered on which country will use it, and history have shown that only US of A has, no other country only USA. Oh I see they could not preach to the Europeans, they could not preach to North Korea, China and Russia. and at the bolded, so only cool headed countries like Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia (already being in a cool headed talk with Ukraine) can have it just because the US of A says so. its Ok.

Bro, before you defend Iran any further, always remember that you are supporting a country that actually wants to achieve the goal of having the potential to turn our world into a bed of chaos , we are never letting that happen. Instead, we will happily send you to your virgins in droves!

Oga I defend no country, they are all the same, or let me use the word you like most, they are all terrorist. because non of the elite that started the fight will suffer it. It is innocent citizen sent to war and those that bombs are thrown on that will loose their lives and livelihood. So you see the best is for no one to have it, and if any one see reason to have it, then all can have it if they want to too. That is fairness.

UrVillageChief:
Why can’t we just not hand over nukes to Muslims then? These Middle easterners are volatile people and I won’t be surprised if the next nuclear attack starts in the Middle East.
If Russia was a Muslim middle eastern country, it would have nuked Ukraine a long time ago. If Israel was an Arab country, Iran would have been nuked long ago. Most of these ME countries don’t even have well-structured government. They mostly practice systems of government where single individuals have absolute powers and authorities to do and undo. All the countries that have nukes today can actually fight wars without nuclear weapons but can Iran or Saudi do so? Can they fight wars without resorting to using nukes?

Oga, sorry sir. if I may ask, on what basis do you postulate these hypotheses?
if i can make a wild guess..... western propaganda or Holywood movies

Why can’t we just not hand over nukes to Muslims then? These Middle easterners are volatile people and I won’t be surprised if the next nuclear attack starts in the Middle East.

Would it not be better to advocate for no nuke at all for all. Or why do you think it is good for some to have but not good for others. For your information, the craze to acquire nuke is to deter bullies to wade off. See small NK who dares them after got a nuke?

If Russia was a Muslim middle eastern country, it would have nuked Ukraine a long time ago. If Israel was an Arab country, Iran would have been nuked long ago. Most of these ME countries don’t even have well-structured government. They mostly practice systems of government where single individuals have absolute powers and authorities to do and undo.

Sorry to ask again, Pakistan have nuke and it is a Jew country I guess. More interesting Pak has been in constant logger head with their neighbour India and recently Afgans but have still not use it. I guess it is because they are a Jew country going by your hypothesis. If i remember my history correctly, the only country known to have used a WMD on another country the the almighty, always upright, world police the US of A, the gold standard and SI unit of a just county

The world can not say much on what Russia id doing to Ukraine today because the God's Chosen people have done far worst in Gaza, so it will be hypocritical of them.

The US killed him? Post a link that proves that. Who assassinated the previous prime minister Ali Razmara?

Secondly, the British were the ones that had a problem with Iran not the US. The US came in because Britain needed help.

Thirdly, how is nationalizing another countries assets right in your eyes?

Oh, pls tell me it is only right when the civilized countries do it but not right when others did the same.
No body planned any overthrow or assassination in UK and Europe when they took over assets belonging to Russia businessmen.

It was very right for the UK government to sell off Chelsea without the consent of the Abramovic and without giving him a dime from the proceeds.

or wetin good for the goose no good for the ganger?

so much for civilized society.

Ah, you need to watch a bit of those Border Security: Canada series on Discovery. Any hint, any news of official indiscretion and you are turned back.

FIFA should have made it clear to teams what is possible and what isn't and except they can get the teams diplomatic passports I cannot see first world countries breaking their own laws simply because hey are hosting international events.

I mean these countries host a lot of events in the course of a typical year from concerts, exhibitions, sports events, high profile meetings. They break the law for one, they break the law for all and trust me lawyers are just waiting for such loopholes.

Partey is even lucky his case is already in the judicial pipeline, if not he may have been arrested as per international warrants issued for fugitives. These guys at the borders listen to news. Their Intel is top notch.

This is educative, but pls let me ask:

1. If Partey is now declared innocent by the court, what then happened? . Will they issue an apology or ask for the match to be replayed?
2. if one banny accused their president tomorrow, will he have to resign just because of the accusation which most often times are not true?
3. Since one president close to them is a documented convicted felon, will they also deny him entry? and that one is not even an accusation but already convicted.

Abi no be civilized society again where all are equal?

HacheNoire:
Why Lagos Needs to Break Free from the APC

There is a particular scene that has played out with metronomic regularity in Lagos politics, and it played out again just last week. Abdul-Azeez Adediran — “Jandor” — purchased his expression of interest forms, rallied his movement, and mounted a governorship campaign. Then came a phone call, a meeting, a presidential endorsement of someone else, and Jandor stepped aside, pledging loyalty to the party and its chosen candidate. One day’s aspiration, extinguished in an afternoon. No primary. No debate. No contest. Just a decision handed down from above and accepted below.

This is how Lagos is governed. Not from Government House in Alausa, but from a network of backrooms, phone calls, and Governance Advisory Councils that answer ultimately to one man — President Bola Tinubu. And the city of twenty million souls, the engine of the Nigerian economy, the continent’s most energetic megalopolis, has for a quarter century allowed this arrangement to stand.

It is time Lagos asked a harder question: what exactly has this arrangement delivered for Lagos — and what has it cost?

The Anatomy of a Fiefdom

Since 1999, Lagos has been governed by one political structure under successive brand names — the AD, the ACN, and now the APC. Since 1999, Lagos has largely remained under the control of the same political structure, and the state has not fully maximised its enormous potential to become a truly world-class city. The party is not merely dominant; it is the only game in town. Governors are selected, not elected. Speakers are installed, then repositioned. Governorship aspirants purchase their forms, feel the wind, and stand down.

The most recent illustration came in April 2026, when Tinubu endorsed his deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat, as the consensus APC candidate for 2027. The unfolding developments underscore the highly centralised nature of decision-making within Lagos APC, where strategic candidacy alignments are often brokered at the highest levels of party leadership. Jandor withdrew within days. Even Mudashiru Obasa — the powerful Speaker of the House of Assembly, long one of Lagos’s most formidable power brokers — was reportedly redirected from the governorship to a House of Representatives seat after Tinubu weighed in. Political observers note that Obasa has already begun low-profile consultations in Agege, signalling early groundwork for what could become a tightly managed intra-party transition.

This is not internal party democracy. This is a succession system.

A Warning Written in Ballots

Lagos residents have already expressed their frustration — they did so loudly in 2023 and the political class has largely ignored it. Peter Obi of the Labour Party won Lagos State by nearly 10,000 votes, a massive upset over former state Governor Bola Tinubu in his own home state. It was the first time in over two decades that a presidential candidate from outside the ruling political structure had carried Lagos.

What did that result mean? It meant that the majority was hungry for better governance and wanted to change the poor political system that had been imposed on them for years. It meant that Lagos’s young, educated, multi-ethnic population — long taken for granted — had begun to vote against the machine.

The loss of the presidential vote in Lagos to the Labour Party has remained a reference point in discussions among APC party leaders. And yet, despite this warning, the response has not been reform — it has been consolidation. The same faces, the same structures, the same consensus arrangements.

What Twenty-Seven Years of Monopoly Has Produced

Defenders of the APC will cite infrastructure: the Blue Line rail, Eko Atlantic, the Lekki-Epe Expressway expansion, the Lagos-Ibadan highway negotiations. These are real. But they are not the full picture.

Critics accuse the APC of presiding over a Lagos plagued by systemic rot — perennial gridlock that turns a 30-minute journey into a four-hour nightmare, flooding that turns neighbourhoods into rivers every rainy season, a mounting debt burden that has mortgaged the future of unborn Lagosians, and a growing sense of insecurity. These are not the complaints of political opponents alone. They are the lived reality of Lagos residents, stated daily in traffic jams on the Third Mainland Bridge and flood waters rising through Surulere living rooms.

A functional multi-party system is vital for ensuring accountability, inclusiveness, and effective leadership. When one party is guaranteed power regardless of performance, there is no competitive incentive to perform. Why fix the drains when your re-election does not depend on fixing the drains? Why open the books when no one can open an alternative?

The APC’s own internal dynamics have revealed the rot. Party members in Agege have accused the leadership of manipulation, exclusion, and abuse of party machinery by entrenched interests who have hijacked the local political space. If the APC cannot maintain internal democracy within its own structures, what chance does it have of delivering democratic governance to Lagos as a whole?

The Consensus Trap

The word “consensus” has been weaponised in Lagos politics. It sounds orderly, even statesmanlike. In practice, it means that the preferences of millions of voters are pre-empted by the preferences of a handful of powerful men. Jandor stated that he had pledged to support whoever the party presents as its candidate, framing submission to the party hierarchy as democratic virtue. But this is not democracy — it is deference dressed as principle.

True internal democracy would allow multiple candidates to contest, voters to choose, and results to stand. Instead, a gubernatorial aspirant can purchase forms one day and be advised — through back channels — to redirect his ambitions the next. A party chieftain stated that open declaration of interest is often avoided in Lagos politics, noting that excessive publicity around ambition could affect a candidate’s chances within the party structure. In other words, political ambition must be managed quietly, with permission. This is the logic of a court, not a democracy.

The Structural Problem

The problem is not simply that the APC has poor leaders or weak policies in Lagos. The problem is structural: a city cannot hold its government to account when there is no credible threat of removal. Competition is not merely a democratic nicety — it is the mechanism by which governments are made to listen.

While Nigeria remains constitutionally a multiparty democracy, recent patterns — mass political defections, executive-legislative convergence, and weakened opposition — suggest a drift toward de facto one-party dominance, raising critical questions about accountability and democratic resilience.

Lagos is the sharpest example of this drift. The House of Assembly functions as an extension of the executive, not a check on it. The opposition is fragmented and, increasingly, absorbed — as Jandor’s own trajectory from PDP flagbearer to APC loyalist illustrates. When opposition politicians dissolve into the ruling structure rather than contest it, the city is left with one voice where many are needed.

What Decoupling Would Look Like

To be clear: this is not an argument that Lagos should simply swap one party’s dominance for another’s. It is an argument for competitive politics — for a Lagos in which elections are genuinely uncertain, in which the ruling party governs with the knowledge that failure carries electoral consequences, and in which the opposition is strong enough to demand answers.

It means Lagosians — young voters especially, the same cohort that delivered the 2023 presidential result — turning up in gubernatorial and legislative elections with the same energy they bring to presidential contests. The machine is most powerful when turnout is low and predictable; it is most vulnerable when Lagosians decide that local elections matter as much as national ones.

It means the opposition parties — PDP, Labour Party, ADC — presenting credible candidates with specific, costed platforms rather than simply running against the APC’s record. A governance approach centred on service delivery, accountability, and tackling core challenges including traffic congestion, flooding, inadequate housing, healthcare, and the escalating cost of living is what Lagosians deserve to hear from multiple competing visions, not just one.

And it means acknowledging that political godfather systems — however effective at delivering short-term stability — are fundamentally incompatible with long-term democratic development. Lagos is too large, too complex, too diverse, and too important to be run as a personal project.


The City Lagos Deserves

Lagos generates an estimated $136 billion in GDP annually. It is home to the continent’s most dynamic creative economy, its busiest port, its most entrepreneurial population. It is, by most measures, the most consequential city in sub-Saharan Africa.

A city of this scale and ambition deserves governance that is accountable not to one man’s political interests but to the twenty million people who wake up in it every morning. It deserves leaders who earn power through competition, not inherit it through arrangement. It deserves a House of Assembly that interrogates the executive rather than ratifying it. It deserves flooding that gets fixed because someone’s job depends on fixing it.

Lagos has lived under the same political roof for twenty-seven years. The roof leaks. The traffic is still there. The floods return every rainy season. The consensus candidates are chosen in rooms most Lagosians will never enter.

The city is still waiting to be governed as if it belongs to everyone who lives in it — not just to the men who run it.

While I reason with your view on the need for accountability, I must say its better to not fix what is not broken as someone rightly said up there.

To put it in context,
1. How many Nigerian states with internal democracy as you put it have more developmental strides and is more accountable than Lagos under APC?

2. Why is your focus only on Lagos?. Enugu, Delta, Taraba and Bayelsa states have all been under the PDP rule since 1999 except for the present alignment of their governors with APC. Even Anambra under APGA. So what is the fuse about Lagos?

3. The GAC can only decide for the APC, they do not decide for the PDP or other political party who are not barred form presenting their candidate at the pool.


There are over 20million Lagosian to vote for whoever they deem fit is capable. So the internal politics of APC is not a decider of who win the Gubernatorial election as we have seen other parties win seats at the state house of rep.

Every party plan to win the election and thus, they strive to pick a candidate they believe will win it for them at the pools. If I do not believe in the ability of whoever APC presents, I vote for another candidate of another party, its as simple as that.

so it is now becoming a soap opera

obaidan:
WHile that is good, people with their level of skills abroad(US) are "SAVING" 3m every month after tending to all other needs that give them a very comfortable life.

That is a known fact. However, it also depends on some other factors such as the lifestyle and bills of the person involved.
One has to be prudent enough to save up to that on a monthly basis doing menial jobs.

It's just packaging or showing off.. even during job interviews, the last question is usually how much you hope to earn and you cannot possibly tell your employee you wish to earn up to 200 and 500k a months and expect a call back. Even people who work in tech companies usually get there through internship which doesn't guarantee you much salary a month, they only work there for experience.

Earning anything close to 500k every month can guarantee you luxury lifestyle's and houses which you hardly see in Nigeria unless one is a business owner or entrepreneur. Oil companies abroad don't even pay more than $15k/ month for a start and that's excluding taxation and personal expenditures

I do not usually do this, but to answer your question, two of those people are my superior in one of my former job. The first was the country director and he earn 2.8m the second is serves as the head of testing and marketing he earn 1.4m
you may want to ask how i get to know these info as most company will not release such, I do because i work with them as a freelance accountant, I calculate and remit their PAYE to Kano state Internal revenue service (those guys too could not believe their eyes that that much tax is coming in on a monthly basis).

And your assumption that you can not dictate what you want for a potential employer, pls do away with that mindset. You as the employee have all the right to let the employer know your worth, It is left for them to accept your terms or reject.
Honestly at first I also have that mindset but later changed and always stand firm whenever I am in negotiation. Though I lost many opportunities because of my stance most of the time but anytime i got a call back I always feel appretiated.

hello, do you have designs in long sleeve?

Panda7:
Even a politician don't earn up to a million monthly and that is not even with an employee job. So shove up your lies begger

While I think he may exaggerate, there are many people here in Nigeria earning cool 7digits on monthly basis, there are even some in the region of over 2m on monthly basis though most are with multinationals.

Judolisco:
I'll only respond to your last paragraph, even if I see jst one journal or research paper published on perternity fraud conducted by a Nigerian, why I go dey argue since morning... Na d research I dey ask for since, but eno dey, even if e dey then you have to conduct similar or compare your findings with other research done in other countries to come to dis conclusion .... See dis type of stuff ino even need to browse before I know it's false.... It's like saying [b]30% of Nigerians owned a private jet [/b]or its like saying Nigerian aviation sector has launched a rocket to the moon 30 times.... U see how outrageous dis last two statements sounds arbi? You'll need something comprehensive like a National survey to get accurate data and results, then you'll have to compare it with other countries result

Or alternatively you will need a woman studying in a foreign school present it as fact on a projector with no need for source
I believe our brother will not dispute that fact too because we all know Davido, Oyedepo and many Nigerians owned more than 1 private jets

How on earth did she even come about that figure 30%

Visagemedia:
Why so much hate and bile?

I guess you are not our target audience

Our target audience will enroll


That is what matters

Rather than taking it as hate, why not take it as a constructive criticism.

I know you attach such picture to show high student turnover, but in the context of a private university where one is expected to pay handsomely, it's only fair to see some state of the art facilities.

- Take a look at the Hall, its no different from where townhall meetings are held, even churches have upgraded using elevated seats (stadium type) that allows even the last person to see the speaker and the board.

Again, the projector placement is an afterthought, it ought to have been embedded in the building rather than placed on a table.

If you can just take down the picture of the crowded class in an archaic hall and replace with more beautiful pictures from the university.

Don't just look at it from the angle that those commenting are not your target audience, they will form an impression based on what they see and that can go a long way in marketing the school.

You sound deluded bro, since Binance paused their services in Nigeria, what has happened to the economy? What has happened to Naira??
You're not intelligent at all, and your dunce counterparts are also hailing you!
The ruling class and the senators you defend are the ones sabotaging the economy not the common man on the street, or those in Binance. Imagine padding a whole country's budget with trillions and you're looking for sabotage in Binance.
Jokes apart, if they didn't get it right by the next few months, you will see naira at 2,000, and fuel at 1,000!

Are you seriously asking this question?
Can't you see the relative stability in rates.

Before the ban Naira was on a free fall, the rate was increasing with between 50-100 naira on a daily. Sometimes it even increases three times a day.

There has been a halt to those manipulations since the ban. One of the reasons its not coming down is you don't expect people who buy at 1800 naira to offload at 1600, they would rather hold on to it and wait for it to at least get to that mark before offsetting unless there is emergency need.

Let us be sincere, on the naira, its effective but on general price level nothing yet

AOresources:
The recent incident involving a 200-level student at Lead City University has sparked significant concern. The alleged theft of a mobile phone by a student leader raises questions about integrity and accountability among our peers. It's a reminder of the importance of upholding ethical standards and respecting others' property within our academic community.

Haba oga, you dey advertise your service as a writer but two lines of comment, you still need ai to write am for you

Benjaminy:
I see people complain much about the gaming capabilities of a phone, even prioritising that aspect, in their decision towards getting a new phone. Infact, many spend thousands of extra Naira, to get a higher phone with a supposedly powerful processor that's suitable for gaming.

Then I keep on thinking. No Game on a mobile phone is actually worth it, compared to consoles. So, why don't people get a phone with processor which can help them do the basic things needed in a phone, then spend the extra cash on a used PS4 for a far more quality gaming experience?

The phone can go anywhere with you, and you can use it anytime plus you do not need to power your generator before you can play.

Compare to a PS4 which a used one is still close or more than the cost of the phone, you also need a TV set to play not to talk of fuelling your generator. plus you no fit carry am with you as you can your phone.

Pythagoras001:
keeper had contact with the player without touching the ball

Yeah, thanks, I noticed that on the replay.
Just so sad for the MTN, they really gave the Cape Verdians a run for their money.

Hows that a penalty, the player stepped on the keppers leg

Blackestjunior:
Useless Nsue been dey bang useless hattrick now score now u dey miss penalty

Football can be cruel sometimes.
Just at the die minute

Dmacqh:
It is not a must but a pleasant. Things aren't cool my side. Besides I got family mom and dad that want to also watch. I can afford to go business centre but then ...

Go FTA way then, you will have no need for subscribing anymore.
Everyone will have what they want on FTA, it may not be premium (EPL is one or two game per week) but every one will dey alright.
Kids show, music channels, news, Nollywood, Hollywood, Blockbusters sometimes, series name it.

Just try to going for FTA its a one off cost and you will have no need to explain taya for anyone about how things aren't cool.

Besides all AFCON matches are being aired on FTA so you may not even need to go to Viewing center but rather sit at home with your family to enjoy the matches.

What a goaaaaaaaal

Angelfrost:
That was an unnecessary and unprofessional risk, especially when nothing was really at stake so early in the game.

If a player tries such in Guardiola or Ferguson's team, they will chop bench for the rest of the season.

Not if the team eventually won and especially if the match was a final.

That singular act is what seems to be the saving grace for Angola as they were more charged after the Red card which has led to two solid goals.

Who knows, the game could still have been a goaless draw, or that striker would have scored and Namibia will be a goal ahead without that event.
