inze: I got some high (26%) efficiency (expensive) Sunpower 300W panels from this company (https://services.totalenergies.ng/solar-solutions/totalenergies-solar-home-and-industrial-solutions) and other low (17%) efficiency (cheap) 250W panels from a local contractor. I wanted to see which type provided value for money. During installation we had a sudden wind storm that blew away some panels. Total replaced theirs under warranty while the local contractor refused. I never quite finished the thread ironically due to brabus / QC1 / Egunmogaji bashings which made me loose motivation! Brabus has come a long way in terms of knowledge and competence, but for the dishonest part. But the thing is, dishonesty is actually part of the business (If you know, you know). Hope this answers your question |

The story of our country Nigeria. My brother do you know that a white friend of mine (French Man) in Lafarge Cement Company, Cross River, confined to me that our marketers and politicians are our biggest problem and hindrances of progress in this country, he said that until last month august 2023, that their company price of cement was #1,500. That they recently added #300 making #1,800 because of the recent Dollar to Naira crash. He said that they have only five patent marketers (distributors) of which most of them are top politicians and political godfathers. The French Man told me that these 5 marketers and other patent cement marketers across Nigeria are the ones that determine the cement price to consumers. The man said that they were shocked to know that cement which they produce with about 95 percent of the raw materials being sourced in Nigeria here are sold to Nigerians over #5,000 per a bag. Is really a pity, according to him, the marketers used the patency agreement to ensure that the individual retailers and consumers are not sold to, to maintain their monopoly and price control. So my brother, this is just the cement sector only, the same thing goes to petroleum sector, food sector etc. So you see why God cannot come from heaven to change things in Nigeria, the masses have to rise and revolt to save them themselves and children from clutches of these few greedy men, or they will all die of hardship and sufferings with their generation. If you think that things will suddenly turned around for good by these Criminal leaders, cartels and political elites, by just praying to God, without God fearing and purposeful leader taking over the affair of our survival, we will pray until we die all copied 5 Likes 1 Share |

AngelicBeing: My boss used to say: "unionism is part of the business, so deal with it". Entitlement mentality is part of our culture. Know this and know peace. In construction, 99% of workers think that the bigger the project, then the richer the client, and consequently the more they are supposed to HARMLESSLY skimm off the top. Then again, there is our kobo kobo mentality. If they tell you it will cost 300m for that duplex, you may never start. So they tell you what they think will encourage you to start first and kick the ball rolling. Your financial maturity and the age/experience of the contractor tries to counter balance this though. 1 Like |

SALLYBERRY01:Why is it that Nigerian blind makers hardly do inside-mounted blinds? Is it because most of your clients actually prefer these outside-mounted ones or you guys just don't offer the alternative as an option? |

Happy Sunday everyone. Please I have an issue. This time last year, we fixed bore hole in our house. After they finished, we noticed that white sand comes out of the water any time we pump water. They said we should allow the water to flow out for some hours before allowing it enter into our tank so that the sand will all come out. But after the stipulated hours given, the sand was still coming out. The drillers said it's normal that with time, the sand will stop coming out. So we bought a water filter to connect it to our pipes so that it can filter the sand and clean water can be coming into the house. Also we had to still buy electric kettle for boiling water. Whenever there is light, we would stay up even till midnight trying to boil water for drinking. It's really stressful. This is what we have been doing for over a year now. Yet we have borehole o!!! I see people who have borehole in their houses who don't go through this type of stress while having borehole. I see people who have borehole in their homes, who just wake up, take a cup, go to their tap and drink water. But I can't do that even with my borehole We had to raise money and do borehole because we faced lots of stress using well but it seems there was no point atall. Till date, white sand still comes out of the bore hole when we pump water. Please what can I do in this situation because I am tired. |

StemCellTherapi: Did you do the survey for the borehole? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rany4all(m): 6:01pm On Sep 17, 2023 |
StemCellTherapi:Yours is even better than ours. In my location, our borehole water in most places is very rich in iron content (orange/red coloured deposits), so you can hardly see any borehole in the area supplying water directly to homes without passing through a treatment process, which in most cases is just a tank filled with granite chippings, charcoal and coarse sand or just coarse sand alone. Sometimes they also add some chlorine to the water as well, and this treatment has to be redone at regular intervals, duration dependent on how bad the water is originally. I think setting up a similar treatment or filteration system should solve your problem. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by acorntree(m): 9:37pm On Sep 17, 2023 |
StemCellTherapi: It's normal, it will surely stopped with time. After a year you won't notice that again. Always allow the water to settle before you start using it for now |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by MrOkenwa(m): 9:37pm On Sep 17, 2023 |
StemCellTherapi:Is it full casing or hanging? If it’s a full casing, and you are getting good yields, you can simply reduce the length of the pipe in the borehole by few meters. Maybe the machine is too close to the floor of the borehole. 5 Likes |

Rany4all: Woow....it is well. You guys are really going through alot. The we went through similar when we were using well. Water was actually muddy. Sometimes the well water will dry up. I will call diggers to re-dig the well. After digging, it would become worse. It was a tough period for us. Luckily for us, we decided to put borehole. And now, this happens. It is well. |
