you will mix them...

Very good
Now look at the topic, and look at the advice to invest in solar, does it relate?

Note: these guys are kot complaining of fuel and diesel, but power supply

MrEverest:
Investing in solar is one of the best investments anyone can make in Nigeria. If you’re living in Nigeria with all these solar energy wasting yet you don’t have solar, then that person isn’t smart at all.

I have been using solar since 2018 at my home. I upgraded in 2021 to tubular batteries and since then it has been serving perfectly. I only add distilled water to it periodically.

Nigerians aren’t as smart as they assume they are. If it’s Oyibo that lives in this country with all the sun and low grid supply, every single house would have been covered with solar panels.

You tend to misunderstand my point

Now the topic is customers complaining about high tariff (not fuel or diesel ooo). And the advice was "invest in solar"

Now if you use solar as back up, then the advice is not applicable here. Unless you are asking the person to go completely off grid. And I know in places like aba, SE and SS, you will suffer with solar because you can go 4 days of constant rain

Mynd44:
I have been using my system since 2020.

Not changed a thing

Do you run absolutely off grid or is the solar a back up. Because if it's back up, then it can last several years without any changes

That's the only way most of the unqualified and vision less political office holders could have gotten into power. So it is beneficial to those ones

The most foolish people on earth are tribalists here who doesn't fall into the above sect

Proudlyngwa:
Solar in the long run is far cheaper than utility.

How do I know.

Cause I ise it

That's a lie in cases where power supply in the area is up to 20hrs per day. Whether long run or short run. You can do the math yourself

twosquare:
LifePo4 batteries last 3000 cycles or 5000, depending on the product, which is 8 years and 10 respectively.

So, your assertion that those guys will need to change battery by now is wrong. Except they went for lead acid. That was 3 years ago and they still have like 5 years left.

As for the time of the year, it depends on your setup. In fact, wet season is better due to the quality of sunlight and sky clarity than harmattan which is dusty and hazy in the sky and it hinders solar output max.

Alright your 1st paragraph might be correct.
But the second paragraph can only be believed by someone who doesn't use solar

I use solar, and I know that during the wet season, your solar cannot comfortably take you non stop for 3days. And please don't mention the capacity of inverter, most people install based on their required capacity. So if I install like 2 5kvA, I mean it cannot take my intended load for 2 days non stop

So solar is good, but solar is mostly a back up to power supply

Mynd44:
I remember when I told close friends like 3 years ago to go solar when solar installments were quite cheap. They laughed it off.

Now petrol and diesel prices are high, power cost is also high but the price for solar installations is also high.

If they agreed with you then, by now they will need to change battery

Solar can never be cheaper than steady power supply from discos, not to talk of stability. November to February can be good for solar users, what of the rest of the year?

While making life difficult for Nigerians
Customs are one of the reasons things ate very expensive. They benchmark their charges in dollars, and since dollar rate is high, they will sure rake in trillions while oppressing the common Nigerian. Nigerians are paying through their nose to buy commodities that are imported. Go and price car now you will swear for tinubu

Unfortunately the apc idiots will still attribute this to one of tinubu's stupid numerous achievements how

JohnnA1:
The SOUTH EAST is actually where ritual killings are carried out even on babies, hence the proliferation of BABY FACTORIES in Igboland.

Also CANNIBALISM is the order of the day as many youths in that region believe eating human flesh will bestow on them unimaginable wealth.

Both you and the idiot you quoted need comprehensive mental rehabilitation

Everything in your brains need to be flushed out.
When I saw the topic I know one mad man will whistle and another mad man will respond

Sha leave her alone
Either watch free porn in peace Or call police to pick her up
All these public beating for no major crime should not enter this year

Even guys with their prick standing are also being judgemental

Tinubu is very tactical at that
Alpha beta
Hi Tech
Oando
Etc
If you know you know

Somebody who carried the entire country into his pocket and positioned social media attacking midfielders and strikers who are willing to bring down any opposition

Tinubu is really the man of the year

Things are really very difficult now. Only evil things can say otherwise. But what do I know. As long as there is no marginalization in terms of sufferings in this government, then no wahala.

We will all see shege banza together

Exousiang01:
If it is a prank then he has gotten himself in trouble.
Or you don't know the meaning of coming out to get the NPF in such.

Now go listen to his video again
He never mentioned "Police", he only called the guy "officer"

Anyway am not his supporter neither do I care what he puts out there, but his close partner said it was a prank

This one hasn't heard it was a prank. He is still here typing rubbish
But he didn't ask if buhari and his ministers will be trusted again when billions got missing under them. He might have even come here that time to defend them

Apc idiots everywhere

ablejesus26:
Hmm so We are now supposed to take on Insecurity by ourselves??
What then is the primary responsibility of a govt if not to secure the lives and properties of the people they govern??

The people who do crime in SE use the fraud ipob as a host for thugs, cultists, kidnappers and criminals claiming freedom fighters to wreck havok bcus the Country's security is in an almost dead state.

The country should provide you water, but you take on that yourself
The country should provide you electricity, but you have generator or solar
The country should subsidize education for your kids, but you pay the entire fee

Why not security?

If the government have failed us in so many ways, should we also fail ourselves?

MasterJayJay:
How many info have you given to the police?

If I live in communities where they camp or close to the hideouts, obviously I will

Same question I am asking
Only that while obi is referring to government, i am posing the question to my brothers.

These killers, kidnappers etc all camp and live amongst people. When do we get to that breaking point where we start flushing them out ourselves and giving security agencies intels towards clearing these criminals from our Land

May the kidnappers all rot in hell.
I hope they will all be sent to the afterlife when they are caught.

For whatever reasons, this kidnapping thing is getting out of hand, I hope our security outfits can do better

My brothers will not start calling this idiot to order now. When her recruits start terrorizing people like ekpa boys are doing, you will start hearing apc wants to use her to destabilize SE

Let's cut this monkey hand now before it gets to the soup and turn human hand

IGBOPROMISE1:
What a load of conjectural claptrap, revisionism and intentional lies! You have a vivid imagination, i’ll say that much for you!

I’ve not bothered to check your post history to know what political leanings you profess, but if you don’t want Buhari and Tinubu to befall you, then i say fair enough…no wahala, but let Nigeria befall you and your family, AMEN! Or are you gonna say you don’t support ‘one Nigeria’….status-quo and all!?

Dude, the south-east was the most peaceful or one of the top two most peaceful regions right up to the unfortunate emergence of Buhari in 2015, and even up to a year or so into his worthless presidency! And all this while and prior Mazi Kanu and IPOB had already been in existence for some years! What does your deductive reasoning tell you about the root cause of the present engineered insecurity in the region.…that if you have such any capability for deductive reasoning!? Insecurity kicked off the moment that pharaohic bastard sent his Fulani army, masked as pythons dancing, down to the south-east to bully. Intimidate and murder defenceless young agitators who were out on the streets engaging in their constitutionally guaranteed right to assemble, protest and agitate for their freedom! At no point did any secessionist or IPOB member engage in any form of criminality! If you have proof to the contrary, feel free to share with us here! Buhari is of the hegemonic old school who believe the Igbo are a ‘conquered 3rd-class people’ who are in no position to agitate or make demands for anything from the Nigerian state, and this is what drives his wickedness against us! An added impetus for him was wanting to ’justify’ to the international community that Mazi Kanu was appealing to, that IPOB and Mazi Kanu were ‘terrorists’ that the Nigerian state was handling! It was at this point that the hegemonic Nigerian state mounted red-flag operations in the region equally aimed at demonising the agitators! If you have any reports of ‘terrorist attacks’ and ‘murders’ being linked by the Nigerian state to Mazi Kanu and IPOB BEFORE pythons started their dance of death in the region, feel free to share with us here!

Dude, YES Mazi Kanu insulted a lot of people during his broadcasts….Igbos’ inclusive, and rightly so, even if i didn’t agree with all he said! Nigerians generally are the most wicked, daft, tribalistic, and amongst the most kwarrupt set of individuals to ever walk the earth since the late 60s to date, and any sincere analysis of its ills and history that doesn’t rub some up the wrong way and get the analyst emotional is a analysis steeped in deception and dodging of fundamental issues! Notice the sort of people whose thinking is at parallel lines with the hegemonic establishment: Mazi Kanu; Sowore; Farotimi; Fela; Fawehinmi; etc….if you notice, the ruling establishment is never comfortable with these people, and one common denominator that links them all is that they’re all been unwilling guests in the gulag of the Nigerian state! The ruling establishment is only comfortable with those naive mofos who blow empty grammar and think change can be effected and realised through ‘INEC conducted elections’ and ‘going through your ‘elected’ representatives’! They are only comfortable with that sort because they know they (the hegemonic establishment) has the executive (of which INEC is under), legislature and judiciary firmly in their pockets!

Anyone who claims to be Igbo and didn’t see the need for the establishment of ESN after the Nimbo and Uzor-Uwani attacks, such a person is most likely an impostor! After the first attack Mazi Kanu warned that IPOB would not sit by and watch the useless federal and south-east gov’ts do nothing as sahelian toerag invaders continue to murder innocent Igbo men, women, children, babies and even the unborn as they slept IN THEIR OWN HOMES AND IN THEIR OWN REGION! Buhari, being the evil pharaoh he is, then went after ESN with his Fulani army and a campaign of lies and fake news! People like you are the online arm of the federal gov’ts response to ESN in particular and IPOB in general! Now the useless south-east governors of the time made a play of forming their own version of amotekun in the south-east, which they named ebubeagu! This was all aimed at trying to show they have provided an alternative to ESN! Now i ask: WHERE IS YOUR EBUBEAGU TODAY!? HAVE THE ATTACKS IN THE SOUTH-EAST BY THE CRIMINAL KINSFOLK OF BUHARI NOT CONTINUED!? Fact of the matter is the wicked and anti-Igbo hegemonic alliance can NEVER be comfortable with Ndigbo providing their own security independent of the conniving, colluding and tribalistic Nigerian army and DSS! This present state of affairs is what has led to all sorts of state-backed/enabled criminals feeling comfortable and having free-rein to carry out their bloody antics not just in the south-east, but in other southern and middle-belt regions as well!

Mazi Kanu and IPOB have reiterated that there’s no ‘sit-at-home’ in the south-east as far as they’re concerned, and that the ekpa turncoat doesn’t speak for or represent their interests and is not one of them! Mazi Kanu has equally called for a end to the insecurity in the south-east, but all this doesn’t register with you because all you’re here for is to mount a campaign of lies and revisionism against them!

You said I wrote crap but your third paragraph ended up supporting what I wrote
U never heard me mention violence before 2016. Now
1st: it's well known that buhari didn't like Igbos. So he will rather see Igbo land burn than prosper. As one of the wisest tribe in Africa, what are Igbos suppose to do? Pursue peace in Igbo land by all means possible. But did they do that? No!!! They assisted buhari create the chaos in igbo land
The difference between your point of view and mine is that you want me to blame buhari for the violence in Igbo land, but No!! I won't blame the man who all igbos know have no good intentions for them, I will rather blame my brothers who assisted him destroy the peace they enjoyed.

Secondly, kanu and ipob originated the story that Buhari was dead and Jubril was the president. You declared a sitting president dead? Am no buhari supporter but if am him, I will hunt down whoever originated that stupidity and those spreading it.

Thirdly, only a foolish human being who has no ability to understand that any group with arms and no legal restraint can go violent and chaotic at any time will support the formation of ESN. Since ESN was formed, how many times have they pounced on herdsmen who are still killing people in Igbo land? They are in the bush with all sorts of ammunition, who are they fighting if not police, soldiers and killing Igbos they tagged saboteurs and those who went about their businesses on Mondays. Now will you Say SE is safer with this whole ESN and IPOB madness?

Fourth, If we Igbos and the so called Biafra lovers were really after safety of Igbo land, they could have disbanded ESN and joined Ebubeagu where they had government backings to fight herdsmen. But no, they know herdsmen were not even their targets. Bakassi was formed by the same SE governors and to a large extent they restored peace in major parts of SE then.

Fifth: you keep calling Ekpa names, refusing to acknowledge that ekpa has the support of most people who are ardent ipob supporters. Am Igbo, I spend a lot of time among my brothers, you can deceive people online but i know what's going on. Moreover, is ekpa not a product of ipob? Did you intentionally Ignore the fact that I mentioned that ipob may not be responsible for the insecurity we have today, but they laid the foundation? Ekpa and his boys are called "splinter groups". They fell away from ipob.

Finally you are a liar to say you didn't check my previous posts. You only saw that I despise apc and now you ve drifted to one nigeria. I am an ardent supporter of the break up of nigeria, but with what ipob and ekpa boys have done in SE, If Nigeria breaks up today, I won't be living in that region. Any idiot can stand up one day and declare one month sit at home and start terrorizing people

The most important thing is to tackle these things from the root cause

It's time FG start clamping down on persons who show off wealth on social media and can't explain beyond every reasonable doubt with empirical evidence how they made the money.

I see small children driving Benz around, it's time police start arresting those of them that can't show how they made their money. Go to clubs, pick them up.

Enthrone honest living. Promote hardworking entrepreneurs. Organize seminars where these young entrepreneurs address teenagers and inspire them. NOA should stand up to their duties.

IGBOPROMISE1:
May IPOB fall on me and my family, and may Buhari, Tinubu, APC and the Nigeria you support fall on…and happen to you and your family, AMEN!

You see why i say Nigeria is a fraud and a joke taken too far!? Here you are, a supposed proud Nigerian, saying you don’t care about insecurity in the north! Then below your unfortunate post there’s another troll making an issue out of Nigerians, in the Nigeria his parents fought to sustain, moving from one part of the country to another! You deluded lot have been living a lie and forcing everyone else to join you in it!

Which IPOB are camping in Anambra bushes’!? Had you said ESN, before they were disrupted by Buhari and his Fulani army of Nigeria, were in forests in the south-east confronting the murderous Fulani herdsmen/militia/terrorist/kidnappers, i’d have agreed with you! I still need convincing that IPOB have any armed vigilante force confronting the sahelian invaders and their Nigerian state enablers! Any Igbo bearing arms and in any south-east forest today is either part of a force challenging the aforementioned invaders INDEPENDENT OF IPOB, or they’re plain criminals….criminals like you have in every other region of Nigeria!

The ekpa bastard is enabling enemies of Ndigbo either knowingly or unknowingly! Mazi Kanu and IPOB have reiterated that the so called ‘sit-at-home’ has been cancelled and that ekpa is not one of them or speaks for them! Mazi Kanu has equally called for an end to the senseless insecurity and bloodletting in the region, but you will not hear or speak of that one because it doesn’t serve the narrative you want put out there!

Why would buhari and tinubu or APC fall on me when I don't support any of them

I guess you don't even know the genesis of the security issues in SE. I will walk you through a little
Prior to 2012, SE was very peaceful

Kanu in 2012 started radio Biafra. I was a keen listener of that station when I was in the east. His insulted every other tribe, insulted people, call those who didn't support his view saboteurs. He even told Igbos not to vote in 2015, that if GEJ loses, they will make him Biafra prime Minister. On the election day, people were calling in to report how they didn't vote, how they played football that day

Fast forward to 2016, Buhari regime, kanu started threatening Nigeria, calling the country a zoo, etc. Buhari issued a warning about those crossing the red line and initiated python dance. Where the conflict began.

Kanu started forming soldiers, holding trainings, calling the Biafra liberation forces. Uploading pictures here and there. And went ahead to rename them ESN.

The ESN stated their mission was to protect Igboland from herdsmen, zoo soldiers. They went on killing spree attacking soldiers and police and we never heard when they fought herdsmen. Kanu was arrested, and Sit at home was declared.

A lot of Igbos supported the sit at home (ofe nsala things) until Ekpa who was in the picture the whole time took over. Then started unleashing violence on igbos who went about their business on Mondays. Fron there kidnappings and killings of both soldiers, Igbos, burning of trucks conveying goods owned by igbos, burning cattle trucks.

And we can all see where we are today.

Now Buhari never love Igbos, that's fact. But IPOB helped him create the destruction in Igbo land. Now who is suffering it?

My point is simple, ipob laid the foundation
The Ekpa, unknown gunmen, kidnappers etc are all outshoots of that foundation. That is why they are called splinter groups. Now since ipob started their campaign, what good has it produced for Igbos. What are the benefits? I am not a person who blame others for things my own people brought upon themselves

They are not criminals
They are Nigerians with a kind heart
They had no other intentions but to put smiles on the faces of families this Christmas
It's not their fault that nigerians are impatient and always disorganized
It's not their fault that tinubucomics has made life difficult for most nigerians

Let them go abeg

IGBOPROMISE1:
Your reasoning is as offensive as it’s indefensible! You’re interested in insecurity in the south-east solely for blaming Mazi Kanu and IPOB, so forget the pretense! I have a good nose for sniffing out fakery and can spot an impostor from a mile away!

If you claim you feel safe everywhere else in the south but can’t relax once you cross the Niger bridge into Onitsha, then that’s your problem not ours! Feel free never to step foot in the south-east ever again and remain in your ‘safe’ south-west….because that’s the comparison you’re sneakily and subtly trying to make! Just last week, a bus load of travellers were kidnapped in the south-west….likewise, incidents of mass murder have been reported in the north in the last week, but you can’t blame Mazi Kanu and IPOB for those ones so we didn’t see your self-righteous and unsolicited ‘preaching’ for those ones! Had the last Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria not survived his kidnapping ordeal and identified his abductors as northerners, you’d have blamed (whether directly or indirectly) Mazi Kanu and IPOB for that one as well!

IPOB is a peaceful secessionist organisation that existed long before the evil Buhari schemed his way to the presidency in 2015, and during this period they carried on with their activities peacefully! Insecurity in the south-east arrived with Buhari as he tried to subdue the secessionist organisation with brute force and pin the terrorist’ tag on them! So get your facts right: WHETHER BY OMISSION OR COMMISSION, YOUR BUHARI/TINUBU GOV’T IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSECURITY NOT JUST IN THE SOUT-EAST, BUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!

You Igbo-hating ‘one Nigerianists’ are just terrified of anything secession, and this is why you’re after Mazi Kanu and IPOB, and trying so hard to link them to ‘terrorism and insecurity’ in the south-east! So quit the pretense already!

This one read and didn't still understand anything
I am full blooded Igbo and I will call out those causing unrest in the region. Don't worry u see this peaceful ipob, may they fall upon u and ur family with their peace
I don't care about insecurity in the north, that's their problem but you see both those causing insecurity in the SE and their supporters, they will all have a smooth transition to hell and peace will be restored in our land

So those ipob abi esn camping in anambra bushes are being paid by buhari and tinubu. So Ekpa declares sit at home and buhari and tinubu sponsors criminals who will enforce it abi. I am not one of those who is afraid of pointing fingers on his brothers when they misbehave

mrvitalis:
What causes kidnapping in regions outside South East... Middle belt, South South, South West

So those things causing insecurity all over Nigeria dies once it enters South East and become iPob abi?

If there was no kidnapping in other regions then we can say yes agitation is responsible

Middlebelt: Majorly herdsmen
SS: Largely safe except few Flashpoints in Rivers
SW: Majorly herdsmen
SE: Igbos kidnapping their brothers

Up to 2016, SE was largely safe until Kanu decided to form ESN and arm them. ESN to fight security outfits (please don't tell me protection against herdsmen)
Then killing of policemen and soldiers became the order of the day.
Kanu was arrested
Sit at home was declared
Ipob Criminals started causing mayhem on Mondays
Then suddenly kidnappings here and there all over the SE.

Now tell me why ipob shouldn't be blamed?

IGBOPROMISE1:
Dude. Just up! It’s clear you lot are sitting down just waiting for any reports of crime from the south-east so you can rush to blame IPOB, Mazi Kanu and their bid for secession! It’s all too apparent what your actual fear is….ie, the dissolution of the madhouse that is Nigeria, and you having to stay on your own!

Is there no insecurity in your own state/region!? Is IPOB responsible for that one as well!? Just a few days ago, i responded in kind by creating three threads on crime reports that occurred in another region! Those threads died a natural death with hardly anyone commenting…for two reasons: the people in whose region the crimes occurred either had their heads still stuck in the sand or they were busy commenting on insecurity in the south-east; and Ndigbo are just not interested in making trolling/mocking/holier-than-thou capital out of insecurity in other regions! Yes, you’d find the odd sarcastic or trolling comment, but it all soon runs out of steam because hatred, envy and poke-nosing is just not in our DNA!

Am very less interested in insecurity in other regions asides SE
Few years ago when ever I am traveling from the north once I cross that Bridge I relax and sleep knowing there will be no insecurity threat
But today thanks to ipob and co, people are now thinking twice before they take the SE route. Rivers, AKS, CRS etc now prefer going to asaba, Benin lagos etc through the emuoha route . A route they call "lesser evil"

Tell me if it was so before this ipob madness
Mind you I didn't say ipob kidnapped those people, but they laid the foundation for widespread criminality in SE today

I hope we ve come to realize that insecurity of any sort affects the indigenes far more than it affects the government and a lot of times what breeds criminality always get the support of the locals at initial stages.

Ipob, esn, unknown gunmen, Monday sit at home, the zoo must fall etc have paved way for widespread criminality. I hope Igbos will stand up against these criminals. Help the security agencies flush them our

Wishing the kidnapped safe and quick release
And the kidnappers a quick and swift transition to hell

Atuero:
I have been to all states of Nigeria and I know for sure there are less People in Northern Nigeria than south

North has large unoccupied landmass nothing more

Sometimes you see a village with less than 100 population

As someone who have traveled 32 states in this country I tend to agree with you though there may be some salient points

1. In the north, many women and female teens stay indoors (remember that females always make up the larger population)
2. You can travel up to 5hours while going from one state to the next state. Eg Kastina to zamfara. And the pockets of people living in those villages may combine to form a large population

3. In most Southern states asides Lagos, Rivers and anambra. If you go to their villages when it's not December, you will still find the same scantiness you mentioned exists in the north

I know the northern population is over exaggerated, but it might still be higher than southern population

DAENNINGA:
That is not true my brother.
What you have said would happen because the institutions of the state like police, judiciary have completely neglected their duties.

If everyone has a job to do and earn a living, very few would think of crime as you have suggested.

If people knows that if you commit a crime, the likelihood of being fished out is like 90% by the government, very few would contemplate crime.

If people knows that punishment is certain once dished out, a very few would contemplate crime.

All of these is in the hands of the government to do. It is the failure of the government to guarantee these things that has made the Nigerian society become very hostile.

1. Police, judiciary etc were once ordinary people like u and me. Moreover they are still among the wicked people am talking about

2. There is no country that everybody has a job. In Netherlands a lot of people are still poor and jobless yet they have not turned into kidnappers. We love blaming joblessness for our wickedness. A criminal is a criminal. Some people who are gainfully employed even act as accomplice

3. Even in developed world where people know they will be caught or shot dead, some people still go on shooting spree. Kidnappers know they will be caught one day. They also know many of them have been caught and imprisoned, but yet they will still continue

In Summary, we should stop finding one thing or the other to blame for the widespread wickedness and criminal mindedness in this country. The heart of many nigerians breed evil, government or no government

It can never be Nigeria
While we all try to cajole our leaders with this, have we thought of the fact that we ourselves are very dangerous human beings? I mean an LGA chairman cannot even try that in his area for up to one week before he goes missing

Our leaders may be bad
But sincerely speaking, we are worse
