Easy Taxi supports Legacy Relief Foundation in Easter campaign -- #Nigeria #events #entertainment @EasyTaxiNigeria

Easy Taxi Nigeria, the online taxi booking service founded by Africa Internet Holding (AIH), attended a food distribution charity event held on Saturday 19th April for the residence Ilaje community at the local primary school in Ilaje to support Legacy Relief Foundation in their food distribution mission over the Easter weekend.

At a time when many are eating a little too much with their family and friends, Legacy Relief Foundation with the assistance of Easy Taxi  and other philanthropists worked together to reach out to people in need with food donations. The event was a great success, bringing food and smiles to over 400 people in the local area, as well as handing out goodie bags to children and food parcels to the adults.

According to Olamipo Adeola, Director of Legacy Relief Foundation, “We were able to light up the hearts of those who needed us even though we didn’t know them and brought significant happiness into their lives”. She also showed appreciation to the donors including Easy Taxi for answering the call of Foundation.

She also recalled the reaction of a widow who was among the crowd. Adeola said ‘when we handed her a bag filled with Rice, Garri, sachet tomatoes, Salt and Maggi to her, she spoke of a miracle she hadn't imagined and blessed the givers’.

Bankole Cardoso, CEO of Easy Taxi Nigeria, said “We appreciate the importance of giving something back to the local area, and over the Easter weekend, the Easy Taxi team were keen to spread some happiness and goodwill by supporting a worthy cause such as Legacy Relief Foundation. It was extremely rewarding to see firsthand the amazing work that the charity is doing, and we felt privileged to be able to help out on the day with this event.”

If you have missed out so far, don’t worry - we have 2 more Mondays of free rides left. All you have to do is download the Easy Taxi application onto your mobile phone or computer from www.easy taxi.com/ng or from the Google Play store, register and request a ride quickly and easily from a licensed driver on the 21st and 28th of April 2014 between the hours of 9.00am -5.00pm.

5 important things to check before buying a used car -- #Nigeria #events #entertainment #CARMUDI.COM.NG

It is a situation many people know about and experience. You have found a lucrative car offer online and now it is time to go and see your object of desire. It is quite obvious to look for dents and scratches, and of course you want to go for a test drive, but here are five important things that you often forget to check before buying a used car.

1. The Underbody
   
    
   
   
   
   If possible, get the car on a service lift. Inspecting the car from below will give you a better impression of its overall condition. The underbody is also very likely to rust. Be wary of an undercoating, which might hide rusty spots and several damages. 
   
   
2. The Pedals
   
    
   
   
   
   when you have the feeling that the mileage might be manipulated – which is quite common – have a look at the pedals. If the gums look extremely worn out, your doubts might turn out to be very reasonable. The wear and tear on the seats and the steering wheel should be consistent with the mileage as well. 
3. The Car Steering
    
   
   
   

While inspecting the car, turn the steering to extreme opposite direction to listen for sounds of the shaft and come down to check if the rubber of the shaft is intact and for any leakage.

4. Engine Compartment
   
    
   
   
   
   Don’t be fooled by a shining engine. Engine washes are often intended to mask leaks. However, splashes of oil or water are also indicators for a deficiently working engine. After your test drive, have a second look for leaking tube seals. Besides, damaged or scratched screw connections are an indicator for bigger reparations in the past.
