So what happened to the Yoruba and Hausa people voting for Peter Obi?
Shola you’re a fool, you’ve always been a fool and you’ll most likely remain one for the rest of your life.
You and that imbecile Agba Akin made a couple of tweets a few years ago saying “we didn’t back rubbish”
You learnt nothing from Tinubu’s regime because you’re a bigoted fool.
One thing I have learned to do is to make research about whatever a significant amount of my money is going into.
If sellers find out you don't know what you want or you have no idea of the market price, they'll sell anything to you at an exorbitant price and convince you that it is of a good quality.
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.

We are not voting Seyi Makinde because we believe in Peter Obi.
Nobody is getting away with gaslighting us in this election. Not a single soul
I don't know who needs to hear this but your fave is human too. They can make mistakes like everyone else.
You don't always have to argue and defend blindly especially for someone who doesn't know of your existence.

"when you spoil a woman, she doesn't think you are special, she thinks she is special."
There’s this guy who has been asking my colleague out. He owns a small restaurant on the Island, and every day by 12pm, he sends his dispatch rider to bring lunch for her.
When I say lunch, I don’t mean small chops o. I’m talking correct stir-fry pasta, hot party jollof, sometimes assorted pepper soup with rice, etc. He literally made a food menu for her. So by 11am, she’s already anticipating correct food by 12pm.
One of my colleagues jokingly said, “I hope you’re dating this man o, because he’s really intentional about you.”
This babe opened her mouth and said, “Dating who? I can’t date him o. He’s not my type. I just love the food, so let me keep giving him false hope.”
Yesterday, the man didn’t send lunch, so we were curious. We noticed she kept checking her phone every minute, waiting for the dispatch rider’s call.
By 2pm, she called the man to find out why he hadn’t sent food. The guy told her to give him a response, yes or no, on whether she was going to date him so he could channel his time and attention elsewhere.
This babe started shouting, “So because of your rubbish food that you bring every day, you’re giving me an ultimatum to choose whether I’ll date you or not?”
Before she could complete the sentence, the guy hung up on her. 😂😂😂
Her eyes were looking red. Everybody in the office was just laughing at her.
She thinks she’s Miss Universe. Glad the guy finally knows his worth.
You don’t want to date somebody, but you love eating his food. 😂
My gender!

Dipo Cv sent his minions to bring down my page through multiple reports despite clearly saying, "if...."
This establishes the fact that it's part of the gameplan of APC to steal ballot boxes while not contemplating its consequences.
Funny and sad at the same time. But here I am, not going anywhere.

I don't wish to be dismissive ma'am.
But I don't see why you should stop at a male doctor not examining you during pregnancy and labour.
You should go ahead and decline having a male doctor treating you for any case at all.
Even if you have headache or you need brain surgery, always ask for female doctors and surgeons.
And why stop there?
The world is so large.
Visit only female hiring restaurants.
Workout at female only gyms.
Don't take parcel delivery from make couriers.
Watch only movies directed by female directors.
Don't allow a male driver to drive you.
Don't board planes flown by a male pilot.
Don't use applications made by male developer.
Infact, I think you should consider leaving X.
Because it's owned by Elon musk.
And yikes, he's a man.

The biggest flex isn't posting a picture of a laptop next to a swimming pool.
It's being able to go to the gym at 11 AM on a random Wednesday because nobody owns your calendar.
