Very informative. I just bought one of the inverter generator

I will really appreciate if you can answer this question. How has your experience with the inverter generator been? I plan on getting one

ericuzor:
The problem is getting the parts and getting the right mechanic to fix or service the inverter generator

I'm concerned about this also . I have almost decided to go for it

Abeg I want to buy a 1hp inverter ac for a mini flat but I dey fear the price. So I'm considering fairly used hope I won't regret it? And what brand should I go for?

4ward4:
Elepaq Constant everytime any day... It's power is more than Sumec, had to make a buy when we had transformer issues. Everyone went for Sumec but my seller advised me on the authentication of Elepaq. I got it and it powers almost all my Ac , meanwhile the Sumec neighbours couldn't.

How long have you been using it now? I've been doing some search online but can only see mostly Elepaq and Senwei.. I haven't had time to go to a physical store because of work

Osnami:

Yes. No issue at all. I change the engine oil monthly and that's all

Thank you for this reply. I also want to get one

I use a MacBook Pro 2014 model. I need a laptop powerbank for it that can last at least 8hrs without solar. How much will it cost me. I'm willing to patronize asap

Speak2klein:
So recently, I have been trying to get an apartment in Lagos. My first choice was a mini flat but after seeing the places I was taken to by agents for my budget, I decided to scale down. That means use the same budget but for a self-contain.

I finally found a place that I liked. A new building which was just being concluded. I was told the rent was 350k per year and total package N550k.

The only issue was that I had to wait for 2 weeks for them to “finish up”. I agreed but they agent said we had to pay for forms to secure the place. An extra 20k which is not included in the rent. I paid.

Slowly, two weeks became 3 weeks, a month and eventually a month and half. I was finally told place was ready but I should wait for the landlord to give his final go ahead.

We waited for 2 days and became hesitant. I kept calling the agent guy to ask what was going on. The house is ready and we’ve gotten forms and we’re ready to pay so what’s going on.

The agent eventually texted me in the night that he was in fact angry with the landlord. He had increase the rent to 400k, collecting two years and so the new total package was N1m and 50k.

I was in shock. He said I should give him a final day for them to persuade the landlord. The next day, I had to call him before he responded and said he will find me another place.

I asked about the 20k and he said “you know it’s company now? We can’t refund it”.

The name of the agency is Zeekaph Concepts Services. I am so disappointed. After almost 2 months of waiting, they did me dirty.

Oh I didn’t even mention that I had gotten one place earlier, even put my own lock and the next day, the caretaker said someone had paid before me and so I wasn’t the rightful occupant. My agent said he didn’t know and they refunded my money.

Lagos is a crazy place.


What has your experience been like guys?

non-refundable 20k for forms is ridiculous. Let's assume it's 3 forms - both typing and printing won't amount to 5k. I hope this thread becomes big and we start mentioning names of agents that take advantage of people seeking for accommodation so others can be weary of them. when there is a popular thread that reviews housing agents, they will start treating people better. According to Lagos Tenancy Law 2011 (which is valid in almost all parts of Lagos and all parts in mainland), it's illegal to demand for more than 1 year rent from a client

What I do that works for me, I just choose and go to my favourite part of town, and walk all around the neighborhood, street to street. I always see houses for rent in this way.

I don't used house agent anymore because they are terrible.

but you have to contact the agent finally right? but I believe you end up getting what you want rather than paying 5k inspection fee and not getting anything. I may just start doing the same thing

Shetos:


The wait is so long for many of us, some had their interviews since June 21st and it's not always easy to manage the expectations. It's better to know your faith early and plan appropriately than to hope for this long.

It's going to be so painful for the rejected candidates.

The bottom line is not to put ones egg in one basket, but it's easier said than done sha.

All the best as we wait

Scholar94:
I swear...The wait wouldn't have be a problem if everyone interviewed will be selected... Which isn't possible

True

You guys should just put your mind in first week of September. It doesn't look like they want to send it this August but if it happens, good!

Taking your mind of it is needed because let's even the honest, some people will be anxious for the mail only to receive "we regret to inform you...". I don't pray for such for anybody but that's reality. Apply for other jobs that come your way as if that's the only one you can get. While hoping for the best, also prepare for the worst

Soar19:
Did pastor specifically say Tuesday because pastors would usually say "this week"?

Honestly speaking, he was specific about Tuesday though he mentioned it only once. I just hope he was referring to me

Tsound007:
It seems like PwC has forgotten us o.

They will remember you with their mails tomorrow

All these una argument no concern me. In the church yesterday, the pastor said one of us will receive a congratulatory message this Tuesday and I claimed it by faith . I'm expecting my mail tomorrow which is Tuesday

Mujadilo:



You must have seen the movie, Friday The 13th

Yea I've watched the movie I didn't write the post so it would rhyme with the name of the movie though but I noticed it when I checked the date for next week Friday

JayHymn:
2-3 weeks to go... the waiting no be here o . July now feels like the longest month of the year so far

JayHymn:

Most likely not up to 3 weeks. I just overextended it so in case there is some delay, I know I'm prepared for it

This was my initial plan o, until I started receiving nervous current . Let's just wait till next week. We know it will come on or before Friday the 13th

Pkolz:
Now the day is over... We resume tomorrow.. But now i can confidently say, there is huge possibility it is gonna drop tomorrow.... *Fingers crossed*. Sleep tight fellows.


* Refresh mail
* Refresh Nairaland.

My mind don dey next week abeg. If e come e come. Las las we go dey alright

Bobbyzain:
it was a success mail for experienced hire at Pwc

Experienced hires have been receiving mails since 2 weeks ago. I think about 3 people following this thread have posted they received mails

mimi6969:
MAIL HAS DROPPPPPPPPEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCCESS MAIL!!!! I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!

Lol... Stop the jokes abeg

Scholar94:
No mind the guy.. the the very first time ein go comment here, na panic ein wan create.

She said she's a lady not a guy

Any notification like this I quickly tap my phone out of sleep mode and Blockchain won't let me rest with their mails since yesterday

Tsound007:

2019 got their mail around 3rd of July... So how do you explain this with what you are trying to say?

I wasn't saying whether mails won't be sent early August or not. I was asking for more validity to it and I've gotten that

Okay... All your points are noted. They're valid!

From the PwC thread last year, they got their mails on the 1st of September. Why do we think ours will be received early this August?

gidob:


Last year, mail came in around 6:17pm.

I believe today is still viable at least until 7:pm.

Are you sure it will land today? because for me I'm focusing on between ending of this week to Wednesday next week. did they say mails will be sent first working day of August?

PWCinJesusname:
Any news?

This one name focus on PWC oh... Na so you like us reach

.

Yorubabhoy:
Happy new month guys.
Good news for all of us from PWC

Amen o... we have been waiting from months to weeks, from weeks to days now

.

Scholar94:
JayHymn. Your matter tire me o. Why everybody that got to interview stage must know what LoS means? Besides, this is an acronym only used by the applicants. So even if them go ask you for interview, interviewer would pronounce it in full. Just let the matter rest, no be everybody wey get to interview stage dey follow Nairaland as you and I

Point noted! I agree with you no one will say LOS. May we all smile at the end of the day. All the best to everyone

Lumidave:

My point is, not everyone knows what LOS as an abbreviation means.
Meanwhile, the question in the PHR form is "what job are you applying for" and not "What LOS"

Not everyone knows but everyone who got to the interview stage ought to know. It shows they don't know what they are doing. They would have come across LoS but didn't bother to find out or check what it meant

Lumidave:
he might not be asked. No be everybody dey asked

Ok o... I was just surprised he didn't know what it meant because I felt during the preparations for the interview, he would have come across it if he didn't pay attention to it while filling the PHR forms or saw it in one of the mails they sent where they were some attachments. May be some other people don't know it also
