@MrMekzy_ All these 50/50 topics is bullshit. Marriage is 100/100. I bring mine, you bring yours that way the relationship flourish. Not only in finances but in everything. Imagine discussing 50/50 in this present age...
GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
So I had I get home to take a picture before I drop my piece on this solar Vs Nepa brouhaha.
Anyone living in ekiti knows how bad electricity is here. Calling it terrible is an understatement.
Before I got my system set-up, my freezer hasn't worked long enough to make ice and I always pump water with my generator.
Before setting it up, I talked to a couple of solar guys and my demands were modest.
12 hour run time every day for my freezer.
2 standing fans.
Charging for multiple phones and an energy hungry laptop.
Lighting points.
My 55inch TV.
Occasional use of Blender and 1hp pumping machine.
Washing machine.
Energy efficient iron.
All the solar guys were giving me quotes of 3-5 million.
So I said fawk it and got to learning more about solar systems. I got to know the different kinds of systems, from 24v to 48v to 400v hybrid and non hybrid systems and different technology of batteries from lead acid to lithium.
One thing I realize is that a lot of people overspend on solar and I understand that it can be quite a tricky conversation because some solar installations are complex.
But what some installers do is daylight robbery.
I was able to get my setup for around 1.7m
4.2kva Inverter = 350k
4.2kwh Battery = 670k
650w JA panels x 4 = 520k
Wires and accessories = 140k
Installation = 110k
I got on jiji, talked to a couple of my friends who has installed solar systems and I was able to get contacts of trusted solar-inverter suppliers.
I was able to get the system done at cut price no solar guy would have given me.
With this, I've been living off the grid for the past 6 months and I'm not joking.
I've not used a single watt from phcn since June.
I run my freezer for 10-12hrs everyday.
I run my fans nonstop.
TV time is nonstop.
I charge and use my laptop anytime.
During the day, I can game, pump water in the afternoon, turn on the freezer and run the washing machine at the same time.
From 10am to around 5pm most days, my loads are supplied directly from solar and the system doesn't touch the batteries.
But this system isn't unbeatable.
I don't abuse it at night. I don't game at night or run freezer past 7pm and I don't pump at night.
I'll take this anyday over one useless nepa that you can never predict when it'll come.
The reason why I'm passionate about solar is because I see a lot of people get scammed by solar installer guys.
A friend of mine who runs a frozen foods business was scammed by a solar guy.
He got a system for around 3.5m. They got him 12 pieces of bad 600w panels, gave him 6 lead acid batteries and one useless 6kva inverter.
He enjoyed it for 4 months and then the system started giving him problems.
I was able to get him a better system for his needs by swapping the batteries for a 5kwh lithium and getting 6 good Canadian 600w panels. He didn't spend up to 1.8m and now his solar never goes off.
I've seen this over and over.
Yes solar is not perfect, but all I say is before you start bashing that solar can't solve your problem, make sure that your solar is actually your money's worth.
I see many solar guys making adverts of system of 7 million and the true worth is less than 4 million.
And that's the catch. It doesn't matter how much you spent on a system, what matters is the actual capacity of that system.
That's all I have to say.
You can do away now.
