Contant power supply from clean energy is what all humans should enjoy, regardless of race, location, status & income. No wonder Goal 7 of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) states to ensure
Affordable and clean energy

Joining steemit for my wife, @trendyents and I, @eugenecr7 was long overdue. After our several doubts and resistance to this beautiful platform, we joined leaving behind previous distractions.
Steemit is a social media platform with a difference . It requires lot of time for members to get involved in writing, reading, commenting, researching and following. Growth on this platform does not come easy and it requires a lot of hardwork which includes your consistent write up with creativity all geared towards building your followership and upvotes. These can only be achieved when you have constant electricity, to power up your devices.
In most parts of Nigeria, electricity is a mirage that does not come by easily. For you to have electricity, let alone constant power supply is almost impossible for those who are on grid.
So how can one blog on the steemit blockchain without electricity?
The need to have constant power supply arose to remain connected online with our devices(phones and laptops) fully charged, since it has become practically impossible for citizens to get constant electricity even with the high electricity bill charge after the government claimed to have spent billions of dollars on generating electricity and there is nothing to show for it.
Most times while chatting or we are on calls with our family members especially with @maryfavour who is schooling at Serbia running her Doctorate Degree program (our mentor on steemit), our phone goes off due to flat battery while taking lessons from her on steemit related matters as a result of long hours of calls with her.
She complained bitterly because this occurred over and over. She always said that we need to do something urgently about our electricity power issues but we thought it was immpossible. She made us to understand that to steem, we will need constant electricity supply to keep your device(s) alive, which we cannot achieve with the current state of electricity in Nigeria.
She (@maryfavour) learnt of a mobile company MTN that patnered with a solar manufacturing company and are selling to Nigerians/customers willing to purchase from them and asked us to verify how much it will cost to buy and install it in our home to facilitate constant electricity. She (@maryfavour) made a post about her intention to give @trendyevents some SBS to purchase lumos solar panel kit. Refere to
We made the findings and told her and she sent 20SBD for us to use to purchase the
Lumos Solar Panel and for the installation. This we did and have been enjoying uninterrupted power supply for almost three weeks.
Thanks to @MTN LUMOS!
MANY THANKS to @maryfavour!!
To keep enjoying this facility (lumos solar pannel) we need to be paying 5SBD as monthly subscription which varies according to the current exchange rate of steem for five years before we can have final ownership of the Lumos Solar Pannel.
How lumos solar power has helped us
- Our phones our constantly fully charged.
- We are able to steem uninterruptedly
- We are happier now
- We now earn more because we are able to make more creative post and remain online.
- We are gradually establishing a steemit hub in our environment where other steemians can come and steem.
- Darkness is a thing of the past.
- It has no health hazard like premium motor spirit (PMS) generators, which emit carbonmonoxide fumes
Our recommendations
We are recommending all steemians from Nigeria to get the lumos solar panel to ensure stable power supply in their homes for regular steeming.

How constant is the electricity supply in your area?
Please share with us how you have been managing.
