pelzzo: men, no joy at all. these maniac drivers steal my joy every day on the road and there's nothing I can do about it. it's like a hopeless situation |

Richy4: I guess we will blame the whole system then. It's like running water contaminated by sand through two filters and the water still comes out sandy, then one or the both of those filters has(ve) failed. Same with this issue, the authorities giving out licenses and the authorities enforcing driving rules have both failed to filter out over 90% of maniacs from our roads. jungle nation |

Richy4: That is why most Nigerians are referred to as animals Simple lane discipline, that a monkey can be trained to do by the whites, is hard for animals in the zoo. ![]() 1 Like |

Tazmode: even if u get your license though the toilet window in white mans country, it will still backfire, because enforcement will catch up with u somehow, especially if you really can't drive, like 90% of Nigerians. accept it, Nigeria is a zoo, a big hell hole. |

That's why we need to have the right to own guns, if the state cant do it for us. Think about how easy it would be to control this situation if the state was honest and zealous. They could have deployed the nearest helicopter available, 10-20 mins travel time and you already have a recon air craft. I don't even want to talk about drones, cause that is just pushing it, for our 10th century police force. If you can't have rapid responses and perform critical operations, then please give us guns. Just look at how many people are scared here, just because of probably some 5-10 thugs with guns. If half of these people here were packing small to serious heat, then lets see what will happen na ![]() I'm just remembering those seized shotguns from customs now, meeen, I need one or two of those bad boys. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

How can it work in Lagos, when the drivers are mostly crazy ![]() Ordinary slow down of traffic and they will start forming extra lanes, turning 2 Lane roads to 4 lanes and 3 Lane roads to 6 lanes. Sometimes I just feel like crying, so sad. Just two days ago, while in slow moving traffic on a side street, waiting to hit the expressway, one truck guy behind me just kept blaring his horn at me. My offense was that I was leaving a bit of space between my car and the car in front of me. Can you imagine that shh ![]() Isnt that beyond nonsensical ![]() Do I have to ride up to the bumper of the car in front of me before you think I'm driving well, or alert, or what ![]() You don't even have a fast car like a lambo, benz, or even a v6. You are driving a freaking truck and you are Horning as if once the road clears you will be off to the races. Just so many illiterates in this country, I'm telling you. Of course once we hit the highway, after just 5 mins of wait time that the bastard couldn't be patient for, all the cars zoomed past him, leaving him in dust. I really wondered at the end of the day what he gained by all the incessant Horning, as I looked at his disappearing vehicle through my rear view mirror. |

Billyonaire: Boy! This was finger licking good!! Like... How can you have an Emir here an Oba there, a Chief somewhere, constitutional courts by day, sharia courts by night. We are just so divided, but like crabs in a barrel, we'd rather all die in the barrel than allow ourselves to be free. Crab mentality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5pzZS0cN0k |

Expl0rers: if you really wanted to cheap it out, then you could get a cigarette lighter socket and a cheap car inverter N5,000. Then you would have to wire the cigarette lighter socket to the battery, then plug in your car inverter into the cigarette lighter socket and then plug your fan into the car inverter AC socket. Then you still have to worry about charging the battery eventually ![]() Seems like a long tin sha, but doable. |

has anyone used on of those rechargeable bulbs before? the time you screw in ur light fixtures, lick a regular bulb. |
![]() |
Expl0rers: then, I really don't see how you can run it off a DC source without any form of inverter (car or house inverter) ![]() |

DMerciful: correct!! I thought u meant to charge the fan battery with the car, via a parallel connection. ...but yeah, I've run that rechargeable fan with a 100ah battery so I agree. |

LIBSocials: Just hook up the car battery to your 12V fan (if rechargeable) and do not attempt to charge it (sorry, meant dont charge the small battery with a car) with the car running. |

DMerciful: Meen!! That would fry his small battery fast!! I think a car alternator puts out 10amps, not sure though and those fan batteries are tinie tiny 7ah ![]() |

Current traffic improvement referencing Google maps. Time stamp : 12:03pm. Green indicates free flowing traffic. Yellow indicates a bit of a slow down, but not bad. Red indicates a slow down and a delay. Dark Red indicates a very bad slow down, bumper to bumper traffic.

teamsynergy: Nice one. Please just send me a mail so I can have ur connects. I stay at Oniru Lagos. Ur the first guy I'll call when I assemble all the parts, 2 small panels, cc... I'll pay for wiring and trunking. Just need roof mounting, wire run and maybe drilling for cc. |

pdozie: Bros, soup wey sweet, na money killam ![]() PDeezy, thanks for the quick rundown, but I'm already quite familiar with electricity, just not a hands on guy when it comes to using tools n shh. I saw roof mount kit on konga for like 40k, I was like what!! ![]() When d panel I want to buy is just 15k 50watt X 2. I am el cheapo at the moment, I'm even using car battery sef, instead of all una deep cycle. who deep cycle epp ![]() Actually, thing is, I have constant light for 12 hours with gen at night. I just need some el cheapo panel on the roof to get me through afternoon, so I don't put to much stress on my car batteries ![]() I just need like an under 10k guy to come and put it when I buy it this week ![]() |

According to my constant monitoring of Google Maps, traffic on this stretch has greatly improved. Job well done. 1 Like |

How much is a cheap solar installer? Just have two small panels I wanna get on a roof, nothing major. |

Destined2win: The technology needed to both mine coal and build coal powered plants is extremely old and has been widely replicated. So I do not believe that sophistication of the technology needed to make coal our main source of energy, would be an obstacle in any way. |
![]() |
Destined2win: The scale tips in favor of the pros. In addition to solar power subsidy of some sort, I'd explore every avenue available to get us back on coal powered plants. I believe we can generate upwards of 30GW on coal alone, since our gas powered plants, which should be secondary to coal, already have an installed capacity just above 10GW. The best things about the plan to return to coal is that, coal isn't prone to vandalism, doesn't require a pipeline for transport and is readily available. It's a "no brainer". |

Minister of Power. If all I can do is subsidise solar panels for the masses, I'd consider that to be a success. BTW, more homes on solar reduce the demand on the grid, which in turn increases the reach of available grid power. I would see ways in which smart grids can then be installed in localities with high concentration of solar homes, to enable solar power generating homes to sell back their power to the grid. |

lets not make this about tribalism and give credit to whom credit is due. even though I may not support one Nigeria myself, I have to give credit to Lagos gov for it's progressive strides thus far. |

quiverfull: That's exactly what I've been thinking, without all the media hullabaloo by Fash. Although when Ambode first started, he was flirting with the media as well. |
