Crying Heaven resulted into Traffic Gridlock in most part of Nigeria

IT was like a replay of the Great Flood during the time of the biblical Noah in some states in the country, especially Lagos, Ogun and Oyo, on Sunday, as long hours of ceaseless rain caused havoc and resulted in casualties, as well as huge material losses.

As early as 7.00a.m, the downpour forced residents of Lagos to remain indoors for most part of the day, while Christians could not attend Sunday services in the affected states, just as many motorists could not leave their respective homes. It was still raining after 7.00 p.m  on Sunday.

Travellers were stranded as the rain disrupted flight operations for hours and made departure and landing difficult for aircraft even as the runway of the Lagos airport was also flooded.

Air traffic controllers described the rain as the heaviest in recent times, adding that airplanes were diverted to other airports until the runaway was free of flood.
There were heavy flooding in parts of Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Obalende, Orile Iganmu, Surulere, Aguda, Idi Araba, Ikorodu road, Ajegunle and Maryland.

A similar downpour led to serious flooding that wreaked havoc in many other places. The state government, in a bid to reduce the adverse effect often experienced by Lagos citizen as a result of the asperity of the rains, had lately taken  steps, including excavation of blocked drainage channels, expansion of existing ones and creation of new ones to check the menace.

Consequently, the Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has directed workers, businessmen and children in public schools to stay at home today, to enable  the state government  to assess the impact of the flood on property and social infrastructure across the state.

As a pre-emptive measure, the government also sent an alert to residents of places highly prone to flooding.

Houses worth millions of naira were also destroyed in Bissaula and Angwan Yadi villages in Kurmi Local Government Area of Taraba State.

The rain wreaked havoc in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, leaving many buildings, including religious centres submerged. It took the efforts of men of the state fire service to prevent some residents of the flooded areas from being washed away.

Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, also recorded another flood, few days after the one that destroyed properties, bridges and roads. A petrol station also collapsed in the torrential rain in the city.

A driver of a Starlet taxi car, while trying to avoid a flooded portion at Bode area of Ibadan, was washed off by the flood. The driver could not be seen, when the car was stopped around Soka area of the metropolis.

Meanwhile, the popular Secretariat-University of Ibadan and the Iwo Road under bridge, were flooded as a result of the rain.

The stream at the Awolowo Junction in the state capital over-flowed its bank, thereby hindering free flow of traffic. As a result, most of the commercial vehicle operators and motorists, especially those coming from churches, had to look for alternative routes.

The traffic situation on the two roads left many commuters stranded while several others resorted to trekking with many vehicles developing  faults.

The stream has become a menace to road users especially when it rains.

In Abeokuta, the rain, which stopped overnight on Saturday, again started at about 12.45p.m on Sunday and was still raining, at the time of filing this report.

Most areas affected by the flood were Isale-Oja Kuto, Ijaye, Olorunsogo, Abiola Way, Amolaso, and Isale-Igbein.

At Ijaye area, a fish cold-room was filled with water, destroying goods worth millions of naira, while a bridge linking Isale Oja Kuto and Nawa-ur-deen junction was also washed away by the flood.

Flood also affected St. Mary’s Anglican Church, as musical instruments and other property of the church were destroyed. The Sunday service could not be held due to the havoc caused by the downpour.

In areas like Olorunsogo and Abiola Way, some houses and cars were submerged, as some residents fled to save their lives.

In Iperu and Ikenne Remo visited by the Nigerian Tribune, many drainage channels were blocked with refuse dumped by residents, despite various warnings by both the state and local governments against indiscriminate dumping of refuse in the drainage.

A member of the state House of Assembly in Taraba, Honourable Ishaku Audu, after visiting the affected areas, expressed shock at the extent of the havoc caused by the flood.

He said the situation had led to the movement of people out of their houses to schools and church premises across some villages, adding that school children were no longer attending schools. He, however, expressed gratitude to God that there was no loss of life.

Minimize the cost per mile driven

With fuel prices rising again, oil is back near $100 a barrel, you will probably want to minimize your cost of driving. Some helpful hints are common ones, but others are some lesser know things. One thing I have discovered in my years of working with cars and being around the car culture is that there are similarities between vehicles that get really good mileage and high performance vehicles.


1. Proper tire pressure
Keep your tires properly inflated. This will help decrease the rolling resistance (friction between your tires and the road) increasing fuel mileage. The higher tire pressure you have the lower rolling resistance between them and the road. While it may sound good to just crank the pressure way up this isn't a good thing either as it will affect the ride quality, tire wear, and safety.


2. Clean your car out
Not only will your friends want to ride in your car you can cut your fuel consumption. Granted in most cases this won't amount to much if any but if you carry around a bunch of junk (10's to hundreds of pounds) there might be a noticeable difference.


3. Keep your vehicle tuned
By keeping your vehicle properly maintained you can keep it running as efficiently as possible. See my previous posting on a vehicle maintenance schedule. Not only will this schedule keep your car running for a long time it will keep it running optimally.


4. Fuel saving tires
Fuel saving tires can help reduce your fuel consumption as they offer lower rolling resistance between your tires and the road.


5. Decrease drag
Remove external accessories for your vehicle. Just as cleaning out the junk can increase fuel economy so can removing unneeded exterior accessories. Typically this will be things like roof racks, bike racks, hitch accessories. Not only are you decreasing the weight of your vehicle, but you are decreasing the amount of drag caused by the wind hitting these things.


6. Use the correct gas
People seem to think that using premium gas will increase their fuel economy, the truth is if your vehicle is running correctly it won't. The truth is your vehicle was designed to run on gasoline with a specific octane (typically 87, 89, or 91). Granted using a higher octane won't hurt your car, but it does cost more money. By running a lower octane fuel in your car than recommended in you will waste fuel. This is because modern cars can compensate for too low of an octane by dumping more fuel in. This will prevent preignition, but will cause your car to run rich and will shorten the life of O2 sensors and catalytic converters. The truth is gasoline regardless of octane contains the same amount of energy.


7. Use synthetic fluids
Synthetic fluids can help increase your fuel economy. Granted they are more expensive, but they last longer. I cover synthetic oils in detail in this post. In my daily driver I run synthetic oil in the engine, synthetic transmission fluid in the transmission, and synthetic gear oil in the read differential. Most of the benefits of synthetic fluids come from the superior lubrication, decreased friction, and better flow, it takes less energy to move them around.


8. Use lighter oil
You can get better fuel economy by using a lighter oil. In my daily driver I run 0w30 in the cold Minnesota winter and then work up to 10w40 in the summer using either 5w30 or 10w30 in the spring and fall depending on temperature. As temperatures warm you shooed be using heavier oils to protect your engine, but don't use a heavier oil than necessary.


9. Gas coupons
Not all states allow or have gas coupons but I know here in Minnesota several gas station chains have gas coupons. Both Kwik Trip and Holiday station stores have gas coupons in the St. Paul paper for up to 7 cents off a gallon. The Kwik Trip coupons are in the St. Paul paper on the first Wednesday of the month, and the holiday coupons are in the St. Paul paper on the last Wednesday of the month. Additionally you can sometimes find gas coupons online for gas stations like Holiday Station stores have.


10. If your car takes 89 octane some stations sell it at the price of 87 octane
If you are unlucky like me to have a car that takes the mid grade (89 octane) you are kind of stuck paying a higher price per gallon for gas unless you know what gas stations sell the mid grade (89 octane) at the same price as regular (87 octane). This can save between 7 and 12 cents a gallon. I know that the Kwik Trip stores near me do this as do a number of the Holiday gas stations.


11. Use gas that doesn't have ethanol in it
In Minnesota this is basically impossible, yes you can buy non-oxy fuel but it is few and far between, but I believe that some states still sell gas without ethanol. If you are in a state that has a 10% ethanol mandate you loose about 3-4% of your mileage because of the lower energy content of ethanol.


12. Leave some distance between you and the one in front of you
Now it is theoretically possible to get better mileage by following closely behind another one. This is because of decreased drag, but is also dangerous and rarely produces good results. The reason for this is that you are varying your speed more than you normally would. By leaving more space between you and the vehicle in front of you 12. Leave some distance between you and the one in front of you you may not have to overcome more wind resistance, but you will be able to drive at a more constant speed. Also in rush hour traffic you can gradually slow down and speed up when doing this. Quick starts and stops really wreck mileage.


For the most part I practice what I preach and doing these things can lead to significant gains in mileage. My daily driver is an 1997 BMW 540i with a 5 speed automatic transmission, sport package, and has 215,XXX miles on it. This vehicle was claimed by the government to get 18 MPG combined and qualified as a cash for clunkers vehicle, I have never gotten that poor of gas mileage. My rolling average over the last 114,000 miles or so (I got the vehicle with 101,000 miles on it) has been 22.7 MPG according to the on board computer. This is more or less what I see when I fill up but is definitely in the correct range. I drive 32 miles one way (64 round trip) to work each day in rush hour traffic plus all the other little BS trips I make in a week. The best mileage I have ever gotten has been on long trips that are mostly open road. Typically on trips these I get in the 27 to 29 MPG range and have gotten that several times, most recently was last weekend going up to the iron range and back averaging 28.2 MPG round trip on a trip that was just a little over 400 miles. I could probably get better mileage but I do like to drive in a rather um "spirited" fashion especially on freeway entrance and exit ramps.

Kenya Airport Authority finally publishes tenders for new JKIA terminal

The long-awaited tender documents for a brand new terminal building at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) have been published, opening the door for international bidding to go underway.

The stand-alone new facility, which is expected to be connected to the existing terminal buildings by bus service, will, when ready, offer up to 50 check-in counters, 8 air bridges for aircraft to dock – including meeting the specifications to serve the giant A 380 – and a further up to 45 aircraft parking stands on the linked apron space, also due to be constructed alongside the terminal, plus links to existing and new taxiways and an additional runway.

The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was officially launched in 1978, witnessed by this correspondent, and emerged from the former Embakasi Airport, now the headquarters of Kenya Airways, which at the time was bursting at the seams and where the story goes that it was impossible to fall down considering the mass of human beings in the arrival and departure hall.

When opened, JKIA was to cater to a maximum of 2.5 million passengers, now exceeded by more than twice as many, as statistics of 2010 speak of over 6.2 million passengers being herded through overcrowded facilities. The country’s tourism industry had highlighted the constraints of JKIA and of Moi International Airport in Mombasa as key elements in NOT allowing the country to reach its full potential of visitors while airlines have often voiced their equal concern over having just one runway at both airports, leading to full closures following an incident on the runway, as has happened on several occasions in the past.

More and more airlines, which want to fly to the region’s most important hub airport, find themselves restrained by lack of slots during peak hours, thus limiting traffic, passenger, and cargo shipment growth and delaying Nairobi’s bid to further cement its superiority in aviation statistics across the region.

The past tenure of the Kenya Airports Authority's (KAA) Chief Executive was riddled with allegations and caused immense delays in implementing the JKIA development master plan, but under the new regime these constraining circumstances seem to have been overcome and finally some movement is now visible. Current works on the airport are also ongoing at a reportedly increased pace, according to some airline sources from Nairobi, but this has in the past been seen as cycles, at times accelerating and at times slowing down again.

Tricks for a failed starter

If you own an older vehicle you will eventually have a starter fail, usually when you really need to go somewhere. I have had starters fail on several vehicles and have still been able to drive them to the auto parts store to get a new one.  There are really 4 ways of starting a vehicle that has a bad starter but each method is applicable in specific circumstances. These methods are not guaranteed to succeed, and if they do you are on borrowed time so get a new starter as soon as possible.

1. The Hammer

This method can work of the starter solenoid is sticking. You can tell this if when you turn the key you hear a click but nothing else (no normal starting noise) , but have a good battery. Go get your self a stick, hammer, tire iron, large screwdriver, or any other long object that you can whack the starter with. Don't hit it as hard as you can as this my break your starter, but start off fairly light, it shouldn't leave a mark on the old starter, then try to start it. If it doesn't work give it another slightly harder whack and repeat. If after a few tries it still doesn't start you will need to replace the starter.

2. Jiggle the car

This method can work if you have a worn gear on the starter. You can tell this if when you try to start the car you hear a high speed motor spinning. It sounds similar, but quieter, to a vacuum cleaner. This noise is the starter motor not catching the gear on the outer edge of the flywheel on the engine. Put the car in gear and try to move it back and forth a couple of times. This may move the gear on the flywheel enough so that the starter can grab it now and start the car.

3. Hot wire it

This method can work if your solenoid has completely failed, you don't even hear the click mentioned in number 1, or you have bad wiring going to the solenoid or starter. It is easiest on vehicles that have the solenoid separate from the starter but might be possible on vehicles with the starter and solenoid all in one. Here you will need to turn the key to the run position and then create a short across the terminals of the solenoid. If you have an external solenoid this is easier as you can see what needs to be shorted, it will be the terminals with the really big wires connected. I suggest using a large plastic handled screwdriver for this as they can carry the very large current and you won't electrocute yourself.

4. Pop start it

If none of the above methods work and you have a vehicle with a manual transmission this will work, provided you can get the car rolling fast enough. Again first you will turn the key to the run position. Then put the vehicle in neutral.  Next you will either need to get out and push the vehicle, or let it roll down a hill. When the vehicle is going near 5 mph get back in, close the door, put it in gear and let the clutch out and be ready to give it some gas. If it doesn't start you will have to try again, I suggest getting it going faster. The only time this hasn't worked for me on a manual transmission vehicle when when I had to push it up a hill.

These tricks may not work every time but I have used all of them in the past with success. When you do finally get your vehicle running remember you are on borrowed time and need to replace your starter, so I suggest driving to the auto parts store leaving your vehicle running and getting a new starter as you may not be able to start it once turned off. If none of these are an option then you will be stuck either paying for a tow or borrowing a vehicle to get a new starter.

National Collector Car Appreciation Day

Happy National Collector Car Appreciation Day! 

Here's one of our dream collector cars - a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Street Rod. What's yours? Post a picture of your car or truck you are proud to own on our facebook page. 

Here's our current dream collector truck we are working on - 

aka The General. Stay tuned to our facebook page for updates and pictures of the restoration of our 5 Ton Tonka truck!

The United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 154 (S. Res. 154) at the request of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils designating July 8, 2011 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.” The date marks the second commemoration in what will become an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. 

S. Res. 154 was sponsored by Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus members Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC). Senators Tester and Burr have been strong advocates for the automotive hobby in Washington, and S. Res. 154 reaffirms their understanding of the cultural importance of collector cars. The Caucus is an informal, non-partisan group that pays tribute to America’s ever growing love affair with the car and motorsports. The Caucus recognizes the integral role collector cars have played in fostering our nation’s appreciation for motorsports.

“Last year, the United States Senate helped launch the first national Collector Car Appreciation Day at our request,” said SEMA Vice President of Government Affairs Steve McDonald. “As a result, thousands of Americans gathered at car cruises, parades and other events to celebrate our nation’s automotive heritage. SEMA’s commitment to preserving and promoting the automotive restoration industry through its projects and programs is evident in this special day. We look forward to even more celebrations this July 8 and in the years to come.” 

In recognition of the day, collectors and enthusiasts will be hosting events across the country. ARMO Chairman Laura Bergan said, “On July 8, 2011, collectors and enthusiasts will host hundreds of events across the country. We will proudly partner with individuals, car clubs and businesses as they organize car cruises, club gatherings and other educational events to celebrate the day.” 

Rick Love, HRIA chairman-elect said, “The industry endeavors to preserve our nation’s automotive heritage while providing well-paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide. Collector Car Appreciation Day is a singular tribute to this industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.” Source: Hot Rod Blog

Happy Friday! :) 

Summer Car Care Tips

It's summer and your car is booked for family vacations and road trips. Road trips are a great time for bonding with family and friends. We thought you would like some basic car care tips to keep your car running its best for lots of family fun this summer. With proper car care, the only thing you have to worry about is how to get there!

Cracked hoses and belts, leaky radiators and water pump, under inflated tires and dirty filters can considerably lower your fuel mileage or worse, cause a complete breakdown of your car. When you arrive at your destination, the last thing you want to have to do is look for a mechanic because something has gone wrong with your car. Before you leave for your trip, you can take a few precautionary steps to make sure your car is running its best, save money at the pump and keep your family safe on the road.


Check your tires. Tire pressure changes with the rising temperatures - approximately 1 to 2 PSI (pounds per square inch) for every 10-degree increase in outside temperature. Consult your owner's manual or the sidewall of your tire to see what the ideal tire pressure should be. Check the tire pressure with a hand pressure gauge or just let the guys at Mastermind Enterprises Auto Care Center do it for you. Besides being a safety concern, improperly inflated tires and misaligned tires can lower your car's fuel economy. If your tires are a total of 8 pounds under-inflated - not uncommon at all - you will waste up to a gallon of gas per month!

Change your oil and oil filter. Oil is the lifeblood of your car. It keeps your hardworking engine parts running clean, smooth and cool. Most owner's manuals suggest you change your oil and oil filter every 7,500 miles (12,070 km). We suggest you change your oil every 3,000 miles (4,828 km). We offer an oil change at our auto repair shop that extends the life of your engine oil up to 5,000 miles (8,046 km). An engine is more likely to overheat during the summer, so be sure to check your oil before you head out on that road trip with the family. 

Change your air filter. During the winter, your car's air filter gets plugged with salt, dirt and other debris. A blocked air filter really lowers your fuel economy. Replacing a dirty or plugged air filter can raiser your gas mileage up to 10%. We recommend replacing your air filter every 12,000 miles (19,312 km) or 12 months. If you drive in severe conditions, replacement is recommended more often. Driving on dirt or gravel roads will plug your air filter much faster than highway driving. The only way to know if your air filter needs changing is to inspect it. 

Replace your windshield wipers. Summertime is famous for unexpected, strong thunderstorms. When gallons of water are hitting your windshield, you need your wipers to work properly. This is most important at night because rain can decrease your visibility by 15-20 feet in front of your car. 

Check your brakes. Your brakes are the single most important safety component of your car. Brakes need to be replaced when the lining on your brake pads or shoes is worn past the minimum thickness set by the manufacturer or state law. Make sure your family is safe by replacing worn or faulty brakes before you set out on your road trip. You can have your brake linings checked at Mastermind Enterprises Auto Care Center. 

Check hoses and belts. The key to successful summer road trips is keeping the engine cool. Check the hoses connected to the radiator which help pump coolant to and from your car's engine block. The belts run the fan(s) that help to cool the engine further. If the hoses crack or belts break, the radiator will soon overheat, leaving you stranded on the side of the road. 

Check the coolant (anti-freeze) and radiator. Cars are designed to run in hot weather, but there is a maximum to how how they should run. A combustion engine runs its best at approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius). If your engine is allowed to get too hot, moving metal parts will start to melt and join together causing a variety of internal engine problems and a large repair bill, too. 

Clean your battery. Did you know hot weather is even tougher on your battery than colder weather? Chemical reactions inside the battery can be accelerated by summer heat causing an overcharged battery. This can dramatically shorten your battery life. Battery damage is also caused from evaporating internal battery fluid in the summer heat. For optimum battery performance, the most important thing to do is to keep your battery clean and secure in your engine compartment. 

Last, but definitely not least - service your air conditioning system! The best way to tell if you have a problem with your a/c is if it is not cooling and maintaining air temperatures to 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) below the outside temperature. The most common issue is low refrigerant. This could be caused by a leak, so it's best to have it inspected by an automotive professional to look into the problem. 

These maintenance tips can be time consuming, that's why Mastermind Enterprises Auto Care Center is here to help you! Give us a call and schedule a quick trip check for your vehicle before you hit the road. You will have peace of mind knowing your vehicle will be reliable and the only question you have left to answer is, "Are we there yet?" 

We look forward to seeing you and serving your vehicle needs!

Happy Summer Travels!

Area Boys Parking Extortion in Lagos, Nigeria

The notorious Area Boys (it translates loosely to human meters for car parks management). The use of area boys in most car parks around Lagos is now growing and residents and visitors in major parts of the city are requesting the authorities for tough and extensive enforcement to eliminate this illegal practise. Most car park owners including some local government authorities in Lagos employ the services of the so called area boys to collect parking revenues from motorists that utilises parking facilities at their car parks. The car park owners cannot afford high cost of parking equipment installation coupled with epileptic power supply in Nigeria. The Car Parks Owners believe employing the services of the area boys is the cheapest alternatives to high cost of equipment and having to have standby electric generators to provide electricity for the parking equipment, coupled with paying annual maintenance costs. During our recent checks and investigations, we found out that: Motorists are obviously upset with the increasingly rampant extortion at public places and are worried about the safety of their vehicles if they do not pay these unscrupulous people.

The Area Boys are seen all over the places in the capital city, at the major shopping areas such as Tinubu Square, Broad Streets, Lagos Island, Obalende, Falomo, Surulere, Ojuelegba, IKeja Airport Road, parts of VI and at most popular eating places.

They operate both during the day and at night, depending on the area, demanding a fee from motorists who park their vehicles around the shopping areas and eating places. Our team conducted random checks at several public places in the city and discovered that the area boys were openly collecting parking charges from motorists even on public roads.

The checks show that the area boys menace is widespread in the city, especially at areas such as mentioned above and other popular public places. Most of the area boys station themselves at the public parking bays after office hours and solicit money from the motorists. Some say they act on behalf of their local government authorities.

Their charges vary from place to place, the lowest being N200 ($1.25) and the highest N500 ($3.15).

Our team had several personal encounters with several area boys who appeared to be uncompromising with their demands.

At one such encounter at Marina, the area boys demanded N200 for 30mins for parking along a backlane which is not even a legal parking area. Asked why the team should pay for parking at a public lane, he said that everyone had to pay them for parking in the area and there was no exception.

The area boys walked away after our team insisted on refusing to pay him and inform them we are conducting some surveys and investigations. As he moved on, he said, "It's up to you, you can pay if you wish to," obviously a veiled threat that the team's vehicle might not be safe.

The area boys then walked away and continued collecting money from other motorists. A motorist who identified himself only as Mr. Ademola said that he was forced to pay to the area boys as he feared that his car would be scratched or damaged if he did not pay them.

Mr. Ademola said that he had some bad experiences with the area boys who deliberately scratched his vehicle after he refused to pay them. "I rather pay them the N200 or N500 than having my car damaged," He told us when met we at the entrance of First Bank, Marina Lagos.

A resident named undisclosed from Ikorodu (which is another local government area of Lagos State), who works in Marina said that the area boys had punctured his car tyres after he refused to pay them. According to him, there are about 10 area boys operating around the area and they go around collecting parking fees during lunch hours. He said the area boys were mostly school drop outs, drug addicts and unemployed persons trying to extort cash from motorists who were worried about the safety of their vehicles.

Dele, who works at Mr Biggs (eatery place) in Mr Biggs around Adeniran Ogunsanya area of Surulere local government, said some of the area boys were well attired and neat. He had often seen them splitting their collections before going for tea and lunch breaks. "They act like executives as they do not show up under the heat of the sun or rain," he said.

Another motorist from Adeniran Ogunsaya area said he was furious that these people were operating openly during the day at public car parks. He said they even collected money for vehicles parked by acting as human meters in parking lots.

Upon our visits to Lagos Island and Surulere Local Government offices, no one was available to speak to us on the matter.

We gathered from an inside source upon contacting the Police Authority in Lagos State that The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Yakubu Alkali, have promised another set of  enforcement raids against the area boys.

According to information obtained, last year, the police rounded up 412 suspects in Lagos State, it nabbed 242 of them and about 87 were eventually jailed after been charged to court under National Road Transport Act of 1990.

The police urged the public to cooperate with the authorities by abstaining from paying this so called area boys. He also emphasised that local government authorities and car park owners should award car park management contracts to professional companies who can provide a better service instead of using the services of area boys.

He said that as the authorities took tough action to get rid of the area boys, the motorists must co-operate and play their part by not giving in to their demands. The police authority in Lagos State also commends Lagos State Governor, His Excellency Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, (SAN) for giving them the instruments and the backing in tackling crimes in the State which is why it’s the safest in the country.
