"On my way from Ibadan this evening, shortly after Ikire, I drove past a faulty car, I saw two ladies looking so disturbed with the bonnet opened, there was check point around so I pulled over and trekked back, they approached me as they saw me, so we got to the car they said..

..the car was overheating. It was a Chevrolet, the car model was not my area of specialization but omoo, I couldn’t leave those ladies in the middle of nowhere. There were no leakages from anywhere, fan was blowing well, radiator was fine, then I asked few questions and then I..

..was able to rectify the overheating problem, after that, the engine wouldn’t come up, the battery had gone flat because of the numerous times they attempted to start the engine. I went to turn and faced one way on the express so I could use my JumpStart cable to help them start

..the car. The engine wouldn’t come up, my boy who was with me is my rewire, we traced the fault to an electrical one, the fuel pump relay had spoilt, we didn’t have another one so we improvised and repaired it. Lo and behold, the engine came up. They were going to Ado Ekiti and

..it was getting late, so we got moving. I told them I would follow them to Gbongan interchange to make sure they were going to be fine. The car had no issues at all. They faced Ado Ekiti, we faced Osogbo. I hope they get home safely. I’m glad I could be of help. #DoroMecho."
