Guess my laugh is over. All these while I've been enjoying 12 to 18 hours of public power even the day they claimed there was zero power. Hopefully something is done ASAP.

While u re busy cheering the NDA u forgot u re going to be in darkness! Keep cheering the terrorist thinking that the induced darkness will make us not to vote for Buhari come 2019! There u lie!
How are you sure that Buhari will contest for second tenure when first is still shaking? The government need to dialogue with them because their strategies are changing on daily basis. They have strong backing from within and outside the country so USA or UK weren't daft when they suggested dialogue

I don't know the states you people are talking about, as the state I reside, Edo, before we leave our refrigerator on so that it can work whenever they bring electricity but now, we switch off everything because the current is over full and they never take the light since Bubu assume office and minister of darkness state work. Only a wise my can understand me
Be specific in your area in Edo because most areas are experiencing blackout.

I am neutral on the government but they're giving too many excuses now. Militants affected obasanjos tenure too but now there's already so much zero megawatts produced in just one year. It's become annoying.

All of them dey get steady light.

Then followed by Igbesamwan, Ist east circular, 2nd east circular and Third east circular, st saviour, upper sakponba(three house), even arousa self dey get light 3 hours on, 3 hours off. Same thing with Ikpoba slope.

Problem is that the National Grid is obsolete, overloaded and unfit for purpose.

Fixing it is going to take years and years, which is why the last govt privatised power.

Problem is, we Nigerians are not doing our bit by paying our bills. We also vandalise power equipment too.

High time we Nigerians paid up. We have GSM because we paid, even when sim was sold at imposicant prices. If we want a good national power supply infrastructure, we have to pay for it...... buhari or jona aside

Even before the so called power grid collapse, PHEDC was not giving Aluu, Choba, Emohua and order areas electricity for over 4 months now the reason they say is that poles fell in Rumuji Area.

These PHEDC people are not ready to do business.

How to build your own Power Supply


This simple 'How To do it yourself article' explains an interesting topic, how to convert your computer UPS into home Inverter.

If you own a desktop computer, you may have a UPS that can power your computer for 10-15 minutes after power failure.

The purpose of the UPS is to save your work and shutdown your computer properly to avoid potential data loss and hardware loss such as Hard disk of your computer.

Most of us always underestimate the potential of the computer UPS that sits beside your computer. The average computer UPS can deliver around 600VA, which is enough to power your low power appliances such as fan, tube light, computer, television, etc.

If you own more powerful UPS such as 1KVA you can power your home appliances more.

So how much can my computer UPS provide? 600VA means the apparent power, but the real power is 60% of specified value. In other words it provides 60% of the VA rating.

For example:

If you have 600VA UPS then 600VA x 0.6 = 360W maximum output.

If you have a 1KVA UPS then 1000VA x 0.6 = 600W maximum output.

If my computer UPS can provide this much power, then why does computer UPS only power 10-15 min?

This is because most of the computer UPS is only powered by 12V 7AH battery which is sitting inside the UPS.

To increase its backup time we need to connect a higher AH battery. The purpose of this article is to make a cost effective home Inverter from a computer UPS.


It works perfectly and I and a few friends have been using this for the past three years and still running...!!!

What are you saying? Jonathan and his Igbos stole even the power generators. Where is Lai Mohammed, let me help him colour and spin the story for sai Buhari zombies.

When the chief in charge Buhari has remained out of the country more than he stayed inside the country, what do the zombies expect Buhari's employees to do?
