This red honda was moving at a snail speed of about 60km. I was a bit frustrated queuing behind him because I had to change my gear which is not fun

The ancient City of Ife. I think that should be Oduduwa

This pedestrian bridge at Ikire Osun State is of no use. A waste of tax payers money. So many bumps there

Ife round about is also notable for Hot "akara" (beans cake). I didn't buy but what attracted to the liquid in Green bottles

Hawkers at Ife round about. They were abusing us while taking these pictures especially the guy hawking phone charger

Had to use wipers. Again good enough I changed mine before this trip.

It started raining just before Ife. The Camrys exhaust was hitting the road n owner didn't care. Thank God I spent some fixing mine

On d brige

Niger Bridge, Onitsha. Never seen any bridge like this in Nigeria.

So much for vehicles leaving Onitsha. Mobile Policemen and FRSC were on hand to help. If not, I may still be there by now

Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo

The road from Ondo town to Ore has lots of bends. Had to be very careful there. The view looks good though

I saw this Peugeot 404 pick up van between Ife and ondo. I didn't know it still on the road.

I got home around 2:45pm. The journey was smooth by the Special grace of God.

For the pictures, I had my friend I travelled with take snap shorts with his BB and transferred to my iPad thru BBM so I will upload them now.

Got to ore around 10:20am. God has bin faithful.

Took off at 7am. Stopped over to buy fuel at one of my trusted filling station in town.

The route for this journey is:

Ibadan to Ore through Ife and Ondo town. From Ore to Benin By-Pass the to Asaba. From Asaba to Onitsha then to my village.

This will be the first time of going to Ore thru Ondo via Ife. So by Gods grace is going to be a smooth and safe journey

I woke up around 4am today because I have not parked. I hardly park my luggage for a journey a day before always do it early morning on d day of the journey so this one is no exception.

After prayers and shaving, I'm now putting few personal things I need for the journey together. Departure time will be around 6:30am but ofcourse I will post the actual departure time.

I have a challenge about uploading pictures. I'm using an iPad and the pictures I took at the mechanic workshop could not upload probably because of the size. Can somebody help me how to either reduce the pixel or trim down the picture?

I forgot to mention that I will be traveling with a friend who will help me to take the pictures and upload as we cruise along. So just hook up to this thread and have fun.

@Siena It is about 400km. I will post my odometer reading before I drive off and then the reading when I get to my village in Anambra State.

Well, I'm set for the journey by the special grace of God. The worn tyres were changed and other final checks carried out. Finally, I washed the car and about to go to bed now.

Will get fuel before the journey tomorrow. I heard that is better to buy fuel in the morning but can't really say why

The car is a Toyota Carina E 1.6L engine. Pictures tomorrow as it is dark already.

I came back from mechanic this evening where I fixed a leaking n vibrating exhaust pipe. The guy at first didn't really know where the issue was coming from but later figured it out. The car sounds good.

I want to share live experience of my upcoming round trip from Ibadan to Anambra State with pictures.

Anybody interested should subscribe to this thread and enjoy.

January 3, 2014: my car has gone for checks. I have already serviced it just before Christmas so is ready. I will be replacing my worn our front tyres by tomorrow.

I will keep everyone posted as I make final preparation for the journey.

How can this gadget help somebody monitor his cars used for commercial transportation?

Thank you.

How exactly does the tracker work? What are the services I expect from the tracker?

Can it be installed on a Toyota Picnic 1998 used for commercial purposes?

Check for leaks from the radiator n water pipies/hoss. Also check the water pump

austinemar: its very easy to spot a turbo or super charged vehicle. the turbo is usually attached cloz to the engine along the exhaust manifold.... me sef fit work on turbocharger if small fault dey.
now the simplified gist is that turbocharger is just a vehicle modification to boost its efficiency. the ordinary car has to just take in fuel and air which r compressed to achieve the power needed. in the case of turbo charged car, extra air is taken in. the exhaust gas DAT leaves the exhaust manifold is redirected back into the engine via the turbo charger. the exhaust gas strikes the turbo blades therefore making it expand. expanded air is richer in oxygen therefore greater efficiency is the outcome.
op, u will now understand y turbocharged cars r considered to be more efficient.

Thanks. Your explanation is better understood than all the engineering theories others are brandishing.

It has started working. Infact I have finished the 10mb and started using the 6gb data bundle.

I subscribed for the 2+1 (6GB) offer about 30min ago with a nokia phone and it went successfully BUT I CANNOT BROWSE with my MODEM

I used this APN: internet.ng.airtel.com
