So I recently got admission and if you know anything about living in Ibadan, you already know where this is going. Light situation here is a different kind of suffering compared to Lagos. I am not exaggerating.
So I made a decision. I was going to get a solar system that could power my PC and a few other things in my room.
I paid approximately ₦450,000. Panel, installation, everything inclusive.
On the day of installation, the first problem that came up was finding the right spot to place the panel. It needed direct sunlight to work efficiently and that is just basic solar logic.
We found a good spot, which on a rooftop closer to my room.
Everything was looking promising and then the house manager showed up and shut the whole thing down. He ssaid the Landlord didn't want any panel on the roof.
We begged, we explained. We tried every angle we could think of. The manager stood his ground still.
So we had to improvise. We ended up placing the panel behind the window, a spot where sunlight only reaches around 1pm or 2pm on a good day.
Yes. A solar panel that sees the sun for maybe two hours.
We knew it was not ideal but what choice did we have at that point?
To make things worse, we had a class that same day so we rushed off to school and comforted ourselves with the thought that at least it would be set up by the time we got back.
We got home feeling hopeful. Comman see what these guys installed mehn.
The only thing that solar system could power was a DC bulb they brought themselves.
One single bulb. That was it. ₦450,000 and the only light in my room was a bulb.😭💔

Please can we normalise using Google meet and WhatsApp video calls this period?
I don't want to mention the cost of transportation and the hot sun.
Thanks.
Graphics designers are actually richer than these musicians to be very honest.
It's Just that we don't like lambo truck and ferrari
We care more about our workstation and customer satisfaction.
