radautoworks:
They did respond yesterday at noon. Please see below.

Thanks for your intervention. Since the report was made here, it is proper to post an update here as well.

We did get round our communication glitch and I dashed down to your place and picked up my order promptly. It turned out that one bottle was not enough and so I had to pick up a second bottle thereafter.

At the moment, the whining noise from the power steering unit at idle has ceased. When I turned the steering at stand still it turned as free as it should for the first time since I had the fluid leak. I'll take the car for a spin tomorrow for a concluding test of the steering system. I'll be too glad to find that the Lucas stop leak product solved my problem definitively. That stuff'll certainly come across as a miracle in a bottle.

Above all, thank you very much for your concerned and timely intervention. You guys certainly make life a whole lot easier when it comes to picking up 'exotic' products and supplies for the car and I'm glad to have you here.

Thank you and keep up the good work.

radautoworks:
Hello, you should have a response today. It was the weekend and we were technically closed.

Thank you very much. I did get a response this morning but yet again communication trailed off and at the end of today, I still haven't received the product - never mind that I made payment for it as early as 10am. I didn't even receive so much as a confirmation of payment made let alone a response to a follow up question as to whether I can swing by and pick up the product myself.

Email is by no means a preferred channel of communication for me. It is as opaque as it is slow and therefore requires a hands-on, quick response, customer care approach to be bearable for the likes of me. It is rather trying to receive an email asking me for delivery address and then to go completely silent after that until the end of day with no apology for inability to deliver product same day - seeing as you and me are on the same side of town - and no promise of what is to happen the day after so that I may plan my activities better going forward.

Please don't be like GIG logistics: be different.

Thank you.

Still available.

Good morning, Radautoworks.

I sent an email requesting availability, price and delivery information concerning Lucas power steering stop leak. I only received an affirmative response on availability. Follow up communication on the other two points have remained unanswered - including one sent on the parts request portal.

Please, how much is this product and how can I take delivery of it?

Thank you.

valarinz:
If you really need it to be synthetic then forget the Abro and Holts, you can easily find Prestone Fluids here in big stores too, theyre on Jumia too

Thanks again, Val. 'ppreciate your help.

valarinz:
Locally, i doubt you'll easily find any of those recommended fluids, you can still get pentosin from radautoworks though, its good. Else settle for original Holts or Abro, buy at reputable stores like shoprite etc

Thanks for the response, Val, but the question is Holts or Abro of what spec? Dexron III certainly won't work. I'm just in need of anything synthetic in the ATF or power steering fluid market.

As per Radautoworks, I don't think they've opened since the lockdown.

Hello folks. Please what is the right power steering fluid for 2010 Volvo XC60? The owner's manual says WSS M2C204-A2 or equivalent product. I have no clue as to what the equivalent product is.

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Still here, still selling.

So lemme understand this: imagine that you're a trader and you sell the same commodity as the landlord of your shop. You have more customers than he does because people have tried your goods and his and they have discovered that you have better quality than he does. Something unexpected happens and an embargo is placed on movement. You are affected and so is your landlord. You come up with the idea of reaching out to your customers via the internet and you also take the initiative to courier their order to them.

Your landlord sees this and then insists that you cannot do that because both of you are affected by the embargo on movement and he sees no reason why you should leverage the internet to continue to do business when he is not doing any business. Your landlord argues further that he does not think it is right for you to charge your clients extra for couriering their orders to them because they will be spending too much on the goods.

Meanwhile he has not said it is okay for you not to pay rent on your shop in view of the lockdown and the lack of business thereof. In fact, he is looking forward to receiving rent from you because of the downturn in business he has suffered.

So tell me, should you listen to your landlord and do as he says? Does he have the right to act as he has done? Is it his duty to complain on behalf of your clients who are only yours because he failed them?

In case you haven't noticed, this is a parody of Lagos State versus private schools in an effort to innovate for progress.

Pray tell, how is it logical for your landlord to behave this way especially when you consider that your clients chose you precisely because of his shortcomings in business?

Furthermore, what gives your landlord the right to stymie your business when he does not carry the burden of rent that you do on his account?

Available.

Ur level of sheepishness (pardon my grammar) is irredeemable

Your grammar is the least of your problems, my friend.

The forced stay-at-home precipitated by the Covid – 19 pandemic has at once restricted human interaction on the actual plain and further heightened activity on the already hyperactive virtual plain. Social media is awash with information concerning the spread, containment and casualty index of the pandemic. From informed, professional advice on how to best protect oneself to well-meaning, yet misleading, links shared to enable people self-test for the virus, one finds a plethora of content in cyberspace even down to bad-taste, odd jokes on the pandemic as well.

Of all these contents, however, a section that comes off as misguided, vindictive, bitter and naïve is the group of persons online who have constituted themselves into critics of religion and the religious in the very face of the onslaught of this pandemic. The height of this, for me, was a cartoon making the rounds depicting men representing the various world religions standing anxiously behind a scientist who is peering into the lenses of a microscope in apparent search for a cure to the virus. This cartoon has been accompanied with many captions one of which is, Religion is a scam, and I say enough of the nonsense already.

Before I address the inanity of this line of reasoning, let me first of all explore its origins.

Many people consider Nigeria and Nigerians a religious country and people. This of course is due to the intensity of religious activity in the country which, in effect, I like to describe as vacuous religiosity among the populace: that is, the practice of religion that has little or no bearing on the moral / socio-political conduct of its adherents. For those who may imagine that this religiosity is restricted to Christianity and Islam, it is important to point out that it isn’t. Traditionally, before the advent of foreign faiths on our land, Nigerians have been known to seek the counsel of various indigenous deities in the conduct of their mundane activities. They offered sacrifice and indulged in ritual to persuade these deities to yield their preferred outcomes in their daily activities. It is with this same disposition that they embraced Christianity and Islam and substituted, partly or wholly, the deities of old with pastors and alphas of today.

Therefore, it is a normal feature of Nigerian religiosity to have adherents turn to their faiths rather than to civil authority for help in temporal matters. So it is that some of us would rather go to church than to a hospital for our health challenges and go for a special prayer session for a travel visa than seek relevant travel information from concerned consular offices. It is therefore understandable (although inexcusable) if some Nigerians look to religion for reprieve in the current global health situation. However, note that the protagonists in the present discourse are not the religious, but rather, the “woke” irreligious who are loud and proud of their lack of religion. It is to these that we address what follows.

You are correct in stating that religion does not hold the cure to the virus. It is wrong however to seek to deride religion and the religious on this ground because the cure for an ailment is not proper to religion as it is to medical science and there is no conflict here. This is why when science finds a solution we call it a cure and should religion make an intervention in this regard (as it is recorded to have done and continues to do), it is a miracle that brings about healing.

Note that not even you in your irreligion is of any use in the present circumstance. Should we then make a topic of the perceived hopelessness of your irreligion in the face of our prevailing health challenges? I think not.

Furthermore, the cartoon earlier cited is simplistic in assuming that the microscope-peering scientist is without religion. Think about it. Why should anybody put their lives on the line to seek a cure for a deadly disease that they do not themselves suffer from and for which they possess enough professional expertise to avoid? Is it for the money that will accrue to them in the event that they discover a cure or for the fame that will attend them for the rest of their days? Or is it simply for the love of humanity that they do it? Bear in mind that the most logical thing for that scientist to do at this time is to keep himself safe like everyone else and stay far from the laboratory where he himself may contract the disease while seeking a cure.

But he took an oath as a medical practitioner to save lives and therefore cannot abandon the sick, you argue. And again, you are correct. But then, what is the place of oaths in science? Where is the scientific proof that an oath not kept has any consequence or effect on the oath taker? You will discover that with this question we return to the domain of faith. The moral obligation to keep an oath and to abide by a promise even in the face of personal danger is within the purview of religion and not science. It is safe, then, to assume that the scientist has remained at his duty post seeking a cure even at risk of getting infected simply because he believes in the sanctity of the oath he took as a medical practitioner – an oath, mind you, that has no basis in science.

The point is the man needs to appeal to something outside himself as a rational being and outside his field of endeavour to find a reason to do what he is doing which, thank God, is of immense benefit to humanity. How dare you then deride faith in the very presence of a profound act of faith which you yourself possibly lack the capacity to exercise.

I read reports of health workers abandoning the aged sick in Madrid in the course of this present crisis. This incident serves to demonstrate that keeping faith is a deliberate act of the will and not a mechanical response to a professional stimulus. I hope it is clear that without faith not even science can sustain itself or us. Let us therefore desist from seeking to score cheap, empty points against people whose belief system we do not share, even in a crisis. It is as cruel as it is ignorant.
