Travel / Re: Christmas In Badagry by Yampotatocarrot(m): 9:46pm On Dec 10, 2023 |
Aside transport, just hold 10k, you'll be able to visit a lot of places and come back with change... More enjoyable if you go as a group The tour for first storey building in Nigeria, visit to some slave families and their museum, then point of no return costs just 3k for the whole package (per person)... Except it has been upgraded, nothing special in whispering pines, just decaying structures... I'll rather advice you spend that money for whispering pines visiting those slave museums owned by several families... It's always fun with them and they may treat you to some local dishes... Although it's a dark past, they don't shy away from talking about their history 3 Likes |

Whats so special about this Kaduna bombing that everyone is foaming in the mouth as if it's the first time it happened... I hope when same happens again (cos I want to believe it will), the same set of people will come up and show their sympathy also |

finegirl233: A DStv dish, a strong decoder, any name for the small fish or anyone goes? That's all, the installer knows what he'll do, I don't need to give any special instructions or tell him I want it for FTA? |

Topmaike007: What's the cost range and where can one get those high-end decoder and big dish? Also, hope it's not those kind of dishes one has to build a special stand for them? |
TV/Movies / Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by Yampotatocarrot(m): 9:54pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
How does this work? You have three dishes, do you connect them all to one decoder or how exactly? I never even use two dishes at same time before |

Politics / Re: Second Crude Supply To Arrive In Three Weeks — Dangote Refinery by Yampotatocarrot(m): 8:47pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
nairalanda1: Considering the current government hinged most of their promises on this refinery, the question becomes, is it that they were dull not to have known this reality or they intentionally deceived Nigerians? (Side note: I just saw the thread where the NNPCL boss is reiterating your position... You sure say you no dey work for NNPCL? lol) |
Politics / Re: Second Crude Supply To Arrive In Three Weeks — Dangote Refinery by Yampotatocarrot(m): 8:29pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
nairalanda1: As lay men, what do you think will be the way out, government increasing the pump price or him selling to other countries (which will negate all the government hypes on the refinery) or government paying the extra (which will take us back to the subsidy that was removed)? |
Politics / Re: Second Crude Supply To Arrive In Three Weeks — Dangote Refinery by Yampotatocarrot(m): 7:23pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
nairalanda1: If fuel from that refinery cost above #900, does that mean he won't sell in Nigeria, because we are buying at #600? |

Obnoxious2001: Okay, thanks If one has an inverter as a standalone, how will it be charged, or is it like car battery? How do I know the watts of the appliances, laptops, phones, fan and bulbs? |
Technology Market / Re: Solar Power For An Average Middle Class Household by Yampotatocarrot(m): 8:45pm On Dec 07, 2023 |
Obnoxious2001: Sorry my question might sound childish, but abeg I no know am Is there a difference between using an inverter and the solar stuff, or do they come together? Is it the inverter that determines how long the light lasts or the solar panels? Let's say one wants to use it in an office with just one ceiling fan and two sockets, for three laptops and, say 5 phones, how will one go about it? Also, in an apartment with two sockets for one laptop and three phones at a time, how will it work? In the apartment, will one need to get an electrician to rewire the house again, considering it's a rented apartment? Thanks in advance to you and all that'll contribute 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Imagine You're A Policy Maker In Your State, What Policies Would You Formulate? by Yampotatocarrot(m): 6:33am On Dec 02, 2023 |
[quote author=ChiefOkporghe post=127267421][/quote] For me, I'll start with registration of those in my state, same thing Lagos is trying to do with LASSRA, where parents have to show their LASSRA certificate before their kids are admitted into state owned schools... I'll extend the same thing to state owned universities, all students there must be registered Next will be automation of a lot of processes. There have been a lot of switch this year, in my place of work, from pen-paper to computer and it has been lovely, makes work easy... Everything now feels like cruise due to ease. So, I'll set up a standard ICT ministry with substations in all the local governments. A lot of processes that used to involve carrying papers up and down will become automated. This will reduce stress, increase productivity, not forgetting that it'll create enormous jobs for the 21st century tech-savvy youths in my state... From the state general hospital to local government offices, to state ministries, 80% of their activities will now be done online Advantages to the above - It's naturally boost internet connectivity in the state as internet providers will bid and outbid themselves to have a chunk of the money assigned for that purpose, so they'll be forced to give their best - It'll force me as a government to work on increased electricity production, keying into the fact that the FG has now allowed electricity generation by states, it can even be a PPP project, as constant electricity is needed for such automation - Although it'll lead to loss of jobs, but the saved money from salaries can be channeled into other areas, like road construction, e.t.c Upgrading of ALL the state owned higher institutions, both in structure and standard. I'll personally coerce organisations in my state to take up building projects in the institutions, such buildings can be named after them after construction and furnishing, I don't care... Then, sack, yes, sack lecturers who are just matter, occupying space without any positive significant contribution...ancient of days... Looking at the dichotomy between polytechnics and universities and the seeming bias in the labour market, I'll work with NUC to convert the polytechnics to Universities of technology, colleges of education to universities of education, and shut down the irrelevant departments in them... Maybe move the department and students to the main universities while moving the technology/education departments to these specific ones [/b]Let me conclude by saying I've never believed it's the place of government to create industries and manage businesses... I rather think government should create an enabling environment for private investors, while having oversight functions... Although in some cases like power generation, government can have a share in it, with a strong clause that hinders poor performance [b] |

naptu2: But that also means the first report was correct, that said he presented an empty box... I don't see the confusion at all, did he present an empty box, YES... Next is to just explain that the hardcopy is still being printed for distribution... So the reports weren't fake |

Politics / Re: Who Else Is Having Problems With Loading IKEDC Token? by Yampotatocarrot(m): 7:53pm On Nov 23, 2023 |
I had same issue... First token after upgrade worked perfectly, after that unit finished, tried loading it again and it wasn't going through... Was showing exactly the same thing OP posted. Had to go to the office and get an official's contact... He sent me my Keychange codes and I had to press them After pressing the first 20 digits, it showed ✓... Then, I proceeded to press the second 20 digits code and it showed [/b]done[b]... At this point, I now imputed the new token that wasn't loading before and, boom, it worked Note that I didn't press enter or any other button after pressing the keychange codes... On pressing the 20th digit, it automatically enters by itself and displays the results I posted up there 1 Like |
