I’m documenting opportunities in Nigeria’s energy & infrastructure space.
Solar, power reliability, data centers & market entry gaps.
If you’re building, supplying or exploring this market — let’s connect.

I went to Computer Village today and found our business model already running in the market.
A solar vendor has put prepaid meters on the shops around him and sells power by the unit. The receipt says ₦894 per kWh plus VAT, which comes to ₦967.50. A shop paid ₦5,000 and got 5.17 kWh.
At T&S Power Grid, the most we charge on any site is ₦400 per kWh. The same ₦5,000 buys 12.5 kWh from us. That’s more than twice the power.
So I sat down and asked him how it works.
He was honest. On many days the solar doesn’t last two hours, because the shops lean on it when NEPA fails. If a customer plugs in a heavy appliance, he can’t see it and can’t stop it. One big load drains the battery and everyone goes dark.
That isn’t a pricing problem. It’s a control problem.
This is why we built the Gateway Hub.
It gives the host control of every connection:
→ Live usage per customer. The host sees who is drawing power and how much.
→ A power cap on each connection. If a shop plugs in a pressing iron or a freezer above its limit, that line trips on its own. The other customers stay on.
→ Remote cut and reconnect. The host does it from the dashboard without going to the meter.
→ Time-of-day pricing. Evening power can cost more, which protects the battery for the hours that matter.
→ Prepaid billing that runs on the device. It keeps working when the internet drops.
Control is what brings the price down. When the battery isn’t drained by one customer, it serves everyone for longer. More kWh sold per day means the host earns well at a fair price, and customers stop paying a scarcity premium.
The Computer Village vendor proves that people will pay for reliable power next door. Our job is to make it fair, measured and in the host’s control.
If you own solar with spare capacity, or you’re funding solar for a market, an estate or a plaza, let’s talk.

One detail I left out of this post, and it changes the picture.
Every shop in that Computer Village setup also paid ₦80,000 for its own STS single prepaid meter.
Here’s what it costs to connect 7 customers:
—Their setup: 7 meters × ₦80,000 = ₦560,000. Each meter counts units and does nothing else.
—Ours: one Gateway Hub at ₦325,000 with a meter included, plus 6 meters at ₦30,000 each. Total: ₦505,000.
So it’s cheaper to set up, and the host gets live usage for every customer, power caps per connection, remote cut and reconnect, and evening pricing that protects the battery.
In the market, a prepaid meter only collects money. A Gateway Hub lets the host run the site.
If you’re powering a plaza, market or estate, the numbers are above.
Let’s talk.

The obvious solution is to run a hybrid system. The question is, how soon? You can't rely on a grid that consistently fails.

The lesson from China isn't scale, it's cost curves. Panels got cheap enough that the business case flipped. BESS is on that same path, and Nigerian factories are the early beneficiaries.

You're making money, living the good life, but when last did you check the one thing that pays for all of it? Your health.
Book a check-up this week. Here's what to test:
🩸 Blood pressure – high BP has no symptoms until it's serious
🍬 Blood sugar (fasting or HbA1c) – catch diabetes early ❤️ Cholesterol / lipid profile
🧪 Full blood count & 🫘 Kidney & liver function
🦠 STI screening – HIV, hepatitis B & C, syphilis, Gono, Etc..
🧬 Genotype – know it before you marry
⚖️ Weight, BMI & waist size 👁️ Eye test 🦷 Dental check-up
Ladies: breast exam and Pap smear/HPV test
Men 40+: prostate (PSA) check
Everyone 45+: colon cancer screening
Your wealth means nothing if you're not around to enjoy it. Go get checked and take good care of yourself 👍🏻
Life!
Honestly wanted to say neither, but it's more complex. Compounding that money in mutual funds, T-bills or even BTC would likely fetch more value, but life is fickle and short. You could invest everything and still get wiped out by a health crisis, or buy the house and watch life change positively. We all have different realities even on the same path. Nothing wrong with owning a house/car in your 20s–30s if you can afford it, and nothing wrong with investing, renting and making it bigger before doing all these. To each his own really.

Let me try and explain why cancers happen and why anyone reading this Tweet can have Cancer BUT you can lower your risk.
Let's start with What happens in the normal body.
Everyday you are alive, your cells are dividing and performing functions. every part of your body is made of cells with different roles.
The body has a clock , every cell has a born date and has a destruction date. there are 2 ways the body destroy cells.
One way is When it is time, the body tells cells...IT IS TIME. You need to die. There are some soldiers that go and destroy these cells that are worn out, some cells die themselves because it is time. A process called APOPTOSIS.
The body just like every machine can make mistakes, while dividing some cells might have abnormal parts or missing parts, BUT It has a Checkpoint. Any cells that are abnormal don't pass this gate. right there... BOOOM. The body destroys them. You don't want abnormal cells DIVIDING
BUT CANCER
Same cells, but when it is time to die, they don't die, these cells become like Methuselah, omnipotent. they are living forever.
Some funny things about them, if normal cells are dividing at a rate of 1, cancer cells are diving at a rate of 1 million. if 1 cells can divide to 10, cancer cells can divide to 1 billion.
For every cell there is a gate, so you don't enter into another cell.
Cancer cells are like those boys driving Lexus ES 350 2009, they crash into everyone. something called METASTASIS
Cancer cells get so powerful, they dodge the soldiers, the body is trying to kill them. they are too powerful, too much, traveling at a speed of light.
BUT WHY DO CANCER CELLS happen?
from everything explained you will see anything that can damage cells can increase these cells from behaving abnormal
- From problem of the body itself, radiation, family history, some substances can directly cause the cells to cancer eg Asbestos used in Roof- Lung Cancer, smoking- lung and more, alcohol- liver cancer etc
we also know there are some viruses, bacteria etc that can make cells turn to cancer eg
HIV- Many cancers
H pylori- Cancer of the stomach
HPV- Cancer of the cervix, penis, oesophagus, throat and more....
so in summary you can see why anyone can have cancer, which are abnormal cells dividing abnormally and can travel distance anywhere....
But how do I reduce my risk of cANCER?
I will be dropping part 2
Please do share , repost, I will be glad to take questions.
Thanks
Price tells only half the story. Value tells the rest. If Nigeria's Band A tariff is approaching developed-market levels, customers should expect reliable supply, resilient infrastructure, faster fault resolution and better service. Tariffs and performance should improve together
Cost per kWh of Electricity in
🇺🇸 US ~N275
🇬🇧 UK ~N600
🇳🇬 Nigeria Band A ~N209.5

Defending for long periods is definitely not a way to win a match, Arsenal didn't succeed and now England.

Every minister announces a grid target. Every GenCo misses it.
At some point, the forecast becomes fiction.
Build your business on what the grid IS, not what it's supposed to be.

The best time to position for an energy deal in Nigeria is before the client knows they need you.
Build the relationship in the quiet. Close in the crisis.
