Let's talk about the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway. Why all the emphasis on "slow down on rainy days" signs? Is the Expressway suddenly an aquarium when it rains? Do the road designers need to include something on this fancy road? Could my second-hand tyres be a factor? Is this a unique... issue in Uganda? Speaking of missing things, let's discuss aquaplaning or hydroplaning – not the cool Olympic sport, unfortunately. Aquaplaning (hydroplaning) happens when a layer of water builds between your tyres and the road, significantly reducing your ability to steer, brake, and control your vehicle. Here are factors making hydroplaning worse: 1.Speed demons:(aka Subaru drivers, please tag them): Some drive like Usain Bolt on a waterslide 🏎️💨 2.Bald tyres: If your treads resemble post-lockdown hair, it's time for new ones 😬 Treads help clear water. 3. Deep puddles: Great for hippos, not cars 🦛 Water takes time to clear in heavy rain. Uganda's love for second-hand tyres: Let's face it, those treads are often unreliable. New tyres should be changed every 6 to 10 years, while old ones should be changed every 1 to 3 years. The equation is simple: rain + speed + bad tyres = potential disaster. Want to play bumper cars? Go to an amusement park, not the Expressway. How to avoid hydroplaning on the Expressway: 1. Reduce Speed: Slowing down significantly improves tyre grip. Aim for 50 to 60 km/hr. 2. Maintain Tire Health: Ensure adequate tread depth for water displacement. 3. Increase the Following Distance: Allow more reaction time. 4. Focus and Visibility: Turn on headlights and stay alert. 5 Avoid hard braking and sharp turning. If you are hydroplaning, consumer reports experts recommend taking your foot off the gas, steering in the desired direction once traction is regained, and gently applying the brakes.

Are we sharing these clips on TVs and all other Socials? Because this is very educative and needs to be heard by all, drivers and passengers. Keep it up.

Kiyaga Edwin Raymond2 years ago

We're limited by budget. @assempebwa, @UNRA_UG, & @KEE_UG are working with what they have. More funding = more awareness on TV/radio.

How do the F1 guys do it meanwhile maintaining high speed while it's raining and able to brake?

Kiyaga Edwin Raymond2 years ago

Giod question. Formula 1 cars use a combination of specialized design and driving techniques to avoid hydroplaning and skidding. The first consideration is the Tires. They have different types of tires. * Grooved Design: F1 tires have grooves that channel water away, maintaining contact with the track. * Intermediate Tires: Used for light rain, providing grip on a damp track. * Wet Tires: Used for heavy rain, deeper grooves displace more water. Aerodynamics. You can see that different tyres are used for different conditions. Second factor is design. This includes; * Downforce: Cars generate downward force, pushing them into the track, increasing grip. * Smooth Steering: Prevents sudden loss of traction. * Early Braking: Reduces speed gradually to avoid wheel lockup.

😂😂😂😂 "post-lockdown hair"? Naye kku lwaaki totwaagala, Kiyaga? 😂😂😂

Post-lockdown hair is remarkable. I can attest to it. Naye tubagala.

You need to draft a new and updated driver’s handbook for the Ministry of Works that should be read by all learners and tested about before they get learner’s licenses.

Your ability to explain highly technical concepts in basic English is something I must appreciate in this post! You've fully explained things like SSD and braking distance to non technical people. Your posts are closer to being a traffic Engineering school for me. So insightful!

🚨 “Utah is planning on taking water away from farmers and ranchers right now” “They are currently writing new legislation that is going to put new regulations on farmers and ranchers water use — We need your help.

One thing I really appreciate about the Lagos State Government is that they are very open to criticism and they actually listen like h3ll. That’s how you know people that are serious about getting things done. Unlike places where the first reaction is to track critics down, b3at them up or intim!date them, or look for who to arr3st,that’s not the mindset of people ready to grow. The Nigerian factor is very real and it can slow down progress, but you can still see the will and the effort to be different. That said, some things should be considered from the very beginning. The landscape along the road is extremely important. The road median and the sides of the expressway matter a lot for the overall look and feel. I heard the Green Line might pass along the edge of the Lekki-Epe Expressway. If that’s true, the area should be properly fenced off with beautiful iron designs displaying adverts for the Green Line, rather than leaving it looking abandoned until construction begins. And to the landscaping companies in the city ,you are literally sitting on money waiting to be made. Why not approach the government and pitch to handle the landscaping of the Lekki-Epe corridor? E1 is coming in about 7 months. When visitors arrive, we need them to be wowed even more than last year. Let them immediately notice the difference. Use that expressway to cook something beautiful please. People like us are ready to use your stunning landscaping designs to disturb the internet. 😁💥👌 Sola Giwa Oluwaseun Osiyemi Engr.

HOW TO DRIFT IN FORZA HORIZON 6 ON CONTROLLER FOR BEGINNERS! Disclaimer, I’m not exactly Drift King, some people make me look like Donkey Kong. I do it well enough for people who are completely new to drifting to ask me how I do it, so I’m going to explain how I do it, as someone who is “decent” at best at it. First of all, you’re going to want to change your transmission to Manual so that you can maintain a consistent drift, as the speed of your vehicle determines the angle of your drift, and with Automatic, you can’t control your speed. It doesn’t matter, just personal preference here, you can do your gear changes with the buttons, but if you own an Elite Controller, you can put the paddles to good use here. I like to equip only two paddles, preferably the larger ones, and map the left to X (Downshift) and map the right to B (Upshift). You also want to turn off your Traction and Stability control assists to allow your car to slide. My vehicle of preference is the Silvia Spec R, and the code for the tune I use is 146 936 201. I am using a RWD Vehicle for reference, but some people prefer AWD. For the most part, you’re going to be driving in third and fourth gear. Third gear is great for small roads and tight, closed corners where you need a sharper drift, and fourth gear is great for wide roads and corners because the extra speed is going to throw your car further forwards and make your drift angle more shallow. It’s important to look at the size of the road and the corner you have to take and judge what gear you need to be in as the speed of your car makes all of the difference. That being said, these are not real cars, if you’re going too fast, I much prefer to hold the gas and brake pedal at the same time whilst taking the drift as opposed to engine braking. It almost makes you float around the corner at a consistent speed and gives you more control. If you are on the inside edge of the corner you’re taking, you can hold your foot brake and handbrake at the same time and your car will almost push back a little giving you more space to angle yourself correctly. If this helped you, let me know 🥹

Warren Buffett's legendary speech at the University of Georgia. This speech is a great piece on business and investing. But I specifically enjoy it for Buffett's humor and life lessons. Here are some of my favorite points: 1. Don't work for your Resume - Work for someone you admire. Not to upgrade your resume. Working jobs that you hate first sounds to Buffett like: "Saving up sex for when you're old." Focus on learning on the job! 2. Qualities to focus on in Life - Buffett's Thought Experiment: Look around in your classroom, which classmate would you choose when you could keep 10% of his earnings for the rest of your life? Also, think about the inversion of this scenario: Who would you sell short? The characteristics that you focus on when answering these questions are the ones you should focus on in your own life. 3. The Best Compounders are Stable Companies - "The internet won't change how you chew gum." Buffett's biggest successes come from companies that aren't disruptable. Industries that are subject to disruption are a bad spot to look for long-term investments. 4. Go Short Horses, Not Long Cars - Investing is not about spotting the disruptors. In most cases, it's obvious when a life-changing product comes up. The question is, who profits from that change? It was a matter of time before cars replaced horses. But out of hundreds of car companies, only a handful actually succeeded. The same happened in the airline industry. 5. Managing your Circle of Competence - According to Buffett, the key to successful investing is to manage your circle of competence. It's not how big that circle is. More important is that you know your boundaries and always stay within them. 6. The Birds in the Bush - "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." However, an investor should also ask: 1. How many birds are in the bush? 2. When will they come out? 3. How sure am I? Investing is all about answering these questions. What investing lecture/speech/video can you recommend to me?

Professor Sani Lawan Malumfashi Has this to say to all average Nigerians (sic: those outside the corridor of power where stealing happens): As a Nigerian, you should know that you are on your own. You're your own caretaker. Do not for once think that the govt cares. This simple if you consider that you literally provide everything for yourself: you drill your borehole if you want water. You provide yourself electricity by installing solsr systems or generators. If you want good health care, you go to private hospital and pay. If you want good education for your wards, you take them to private schools as well. Yet, you pay taxes. You literally benefit nothing from the govt. Instead, it is the govt that benefits from you. We fund the govt and the officials with our taxes. Therefore, under this hardship of life, as a Nigerian, this is what I suggest you do: 1. Be your own caretaker. 2. Anything that's not a necessity in life, let it slide. The time for excessive spending & enjoyment has been snatched away. This is a time of survival. If you are a fleet of cars, reduce them to one. The number of air conditioners in your house, reduce them or put them off, on your fan. Shawarma, chocolates, ice creams the kids consume, reduce them. Tap the kids on their shoulders. Tell them the reality of today. English breakfast might not be affordable anymore, return to the traditional ones you can afford. If you have beef for protein in your meal fine, if not, add some beans into the soup. It is another source of protein. (Sic: because egg isn't for average civil servants now). 3. Your health is the most important thing you have. Try as much as you can to avoid going to the hospital. Work hard for your health and pray for good health. The hospitals are in terrible state. You might go with headache and return home with an infection or bigger sickness. As a Nigerian, you're your president. You are your teacher. You are your governor. You're your local govt chairman. You're your security. You're all on your own. Forget anything and focus on your well-being. Own your own life. Again, avoid anything that will put you at loggerheads with the govt. Because if you do, the moment the power decides to kidnap you (arrest you); remember your family depend on you to feed. When you're away, you're only putting them in a more serious situation. Anyone who is stepping out of their homes should do so prepared. Prepare for the unimaginable. Anything can happen to you. Rely more on God. Present to Him your problems. (Sic: report every wicked leader to God. Only Him can deal with the situation).

Listen up. The holidays are not an excuse to throw your goals in the trash. If you want to enjoy the season and avoid weight gain, switch Carbon to Maintenance. We recommend it for times when you’re going on vacation or when you simply don’t want to derail your progress. If you’re currently on a weight loss goal, switching to maintenance will give you more calories and more flexibility. The goal here is to maintain, not lose, which is exactly what prevents the all-or-nothing spiral that wrecks so many people every December. Here’s what to do: 1. Open the app 2. Go to Goals 3. Choose Maintenance 4. Stick to your macros most days This approach works because it gives you structure, but still lets you live your life. You’ll come out of the holidays feeling good instead of trying to undo two weeks of chaos. Be intentional. Be consistent. And stop making the holidays harder than they need to be. Join Carbon here:

As our schools reopen for the new term, I urge every Kenyan to join hands in ensuring the safety of our children on the roads. With thousands of students returning to school across the country, our roads will experience a surge in traffic. To motorists: -Slow down and be alert when approaching school zones and pedestrian crossings; children may be walking and crossing unexpectedly. -Obey speed limits, traffic signs, and signals at all times. -Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy; brakes, lights, tyres, and mirrors must be in good condition. -Do not overload vehicles carrying children. To parents and guardians: -Choose safe and compliant transport for your children. -Teach children the basics of road safety; looking both ways before crossing and using designated crossings. The safety of our children is everyone’s responsibility. Let us uphold our traffic laws, be mindful of one another, and ensure that every learner arrives safely at school and returns home at the end of the day. Report reckless behaviour to the authorities NTSA KENYA, and National Police Service-Kenya, your vigilance can save lives. Stay safe, stay alert, and let us protect our future generation on the roads.

This is supposed to happen every year. Take off those panels and clean that AC off. You are also supposed to flush your water heater every year to maintain its’ efficiency and prolong its’ lifespan. If you have hard water you may want to do it every 6-9 months. A lot of people said there is so much to consider, that you are supposed to clean off your refrigerator coils every year too and that there is a filter on some dishwashers that need to be changed as well. Clean out your sewer vent pipe, clean your dryer ducting, clean your gutters. It’s never ending. 🤯 Some said these are the things they should have a manual for homeowners or maybe a class because a good majority of people do not know this information. Did you know all this? Do you maintain all this yourself or do you have a tech come out and do all this for you?

Q: Why is company culture important? In the clip below, a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz argues that culture drives how people in your company behave on a daily basis—and particularly, how they behave when you’re not looking. Is that phone call so important I need to return it today or can it wait until tomorrow? Can I ask for a raise before my annual review? Is the quality of this document good enough or should I keep working on it? Do I have to be on time for that meeting? Should I stay at the Four Seasons or the Red Roof Inn? Should I go home at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m.? Should we discuss the color of this new product for five minutes or thirty hours? If I know something is badly broken in the company, should I say something? Whom should I tell? Is winning more important than ethics? None of these things are in your mission statement or OKRs, but they determine many important things for your company, such as how people experience your company, what you’re like to do business with, what your company is like to work at, etc. And as Ben describes, what drives the culture is all of the little behaviors and cues people take on: “this is what I have to do to succeed in this company.” Culture can feel abstract and secondary when you pit it against a concrete result that’s right in front of you, but it’s a strategic investment in the company doing things the right way when you are not looking. It’s the set of assumptions your employees use to resolve the problems they face every day. It’s how they behave when no one is looking. If you don’t methodically set your culture, then two-thirds of it will end up being accidental, and the rest will be a mistake. If you’re looking for a more in-depth guide to culture and how to build a great one, I’d recommend Ben’s book: What You Do Is Who You Are.

Q: Why is company culture important? In the clip below, a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz argues that culture drives how people in your company behave on a daily basis—and particularly, how they behave when you’re not looking. Is that phone call so important I need to return it today or can it wait until tomorrow? Can I ask for a raise before my annual review? Is the quality of this document good enough or should I keep working on it? Do I have to be on time for that meeting? Should I stay at the Four Seasons or the Red Roof Inn? Should I go home at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m.? Should we discuss the color of this new product for five minutes or thirty hours? If I know something is badly broken in the company, should I say something? Whom should I tell? Is winning more important than ethics?

Hitting starts WAY before getting into the box. Below are 6 steps that will lead to more consistent hitting… 1. I believe it all starts the night before with a good PM routine leading to a good night of sleep. Know that a great day today started the night before. 2. Have a solid pre-game routine and be consistent with it. (cage work, BP, standing in on bullpens, visualization, journaling, nap, etc.) 3. Know when your at-bat starts so you can segment the game and turn up the intensity of your focus. Is it when you’re in the hole, on deck, when you put your batting gloves on? 4. When you’re on deck, act like you’re in the box. This time is crucial to take control of your self-talk and breath, and get in sync with the pitcher. 5. Walk with big body language to the plate. Whether you are 10 for your last 15 or 0 for your last 15, carry yourself like the most confident version of you at all times. 6. Have a solid pre-pitch routine. Utilize your breath and make sure your self-talk is directing your focus to what you WANT to happen, rather than what you HOPE doesn’t happen. The great part about these steps is that they are all 100% in your control. Be great with them, and you will win the inner war, and you will become a much more consistent hitter.

Most developers can't explain how Single Sign-On (SSO) works. This was one of my favorite questions during technical interviews. I love to ask about it because it's not a trivial topic. Here is a 5-minute overview of how Single Sign-On works. We all hate passwords; the less we use them, the better, and SSO helps with that. When you log in to Google once and visit YouTube, Gmail, Drive, and any other connected service without re-entering your password, three players are working behind the scenes: • A user trying to access an application. You, in this case. • The application you want to access. For example, YouTube. • An Identity Provider (IDP) that will verify your identity. Google, in this case. Here is what happens when you try to access one application for the first time: 1. You try to log in to YouTube, and the application redirects you to the Identity Provider (IDP) for authentication. 2. The IDP (Google) checks your credentials and confirms your identity. It creates a new session for you on its server and sets a session cookie in your browser. 3. The IDP also creates a token for YouTube—a small piece of data that contains information about your identity. 4. Your browser grabs the token and presents it to YouTube. 5. YouTube checks the token, and if it is valid, lets you in. But then you want to access Google Drive: 1. You go to Google Drive, and the application redirects you to the IDP. 2. The IDP recognizes that you are still logged in because you have the session cookie. It doesn't need to ask for your credentials. 3. Instead, the IDP generates a new token for Drive. 4. Your browser grabs the token and presents it to Google Drive. If the token is valid, Drive lets you in. You can now access multiple applications without re-entering your password. This is probably one of the best things we've invented since sliced bread! But, of course, implementing Single Sign-On is a nightmare! If you are a developer, don't try to reinvent the wheel. I've been implementing SSO since dinosaurs were around, and I can tell you you want to check out Auth0. Auth0 makes implementing SSO 100x easier. They just updated their free plan, and you get a lot without having to pay a single cent. 25,000 monthly active users, unlimited social connections, and you can go to production with custom domains. FOR FREE! They are sponsoring this post. To save your time, keep your sanity, and have a really solid and secure solution, head over to their website:

"Accidents don't just happen, they are caused". That was one of the first driving lessons I got from my dad as a teenager. He taught me on the need to "have control" over the vehicle. That the lesser the speed, the more control you have and the higher the speed, the less control you have to manoeuvre the vehicle in case of any emergency. Those words remain engraved in my mind whenever I am driving. Today we mourn two young men who lost their lives in a preventable ghastly motor accident. No matter how you analyse it, whether or not you think the emergency rescue system was good enough, one thing is certain, the accident would not have happened if the driver was not over speeding. This is obvious from the damage to the car and the nature of the injuries to the dead. According to Nigeria’s National Road Traffic Regulations (as enforced by the FRSC), the standard maximum speed limit for cars on expressways (like the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway) is generally 100 km/h under ideal conditions. Taxis and buses are typically limited to around 90 km/h, while heavy vehicles (like tankers/trailers) are limited to lower speeds (≈60 km/h) depending on vehicle type. These regulatory limits are the default for expressways unless otherwise signed or enforced locally. According to the NBS, 5 out of every 10 accidents in Nigeria are caused by overspending. 80% of the casualties are male. If Nigerians just do the minimum by keeping to speed limits, the number of accidents recorded yearly will be reduced by half and maybe, (no scratch that) certainly, we will ensure more men and women make it home alive to their loved ones.

Emergency Call for Action on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway: Gross Negligence Must End We are once again confronted with a painful and avoidable tragedy on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway in Kaduna. The latest incident, which occurred at Kamlik Filling Station, claimed the lives of two innocent Nigerians after a heavy-duty truck carrying a container fell onto a commercial tricycle (keke napep). What is even more disturbing is not just the accident itself, but the disgraceful response that followed. For 8 to 10 hours, the scene was left unattended with no crane, no urgent intervention, no sense of responsibility. Lives were lost, and yet the system remained slow, silent, and indifferent. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Whoever kills a soul… it is as if he had slain mankind entirely; and whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” (Qur’an 5:32) What we are witnessing is not just negligence, it is a collective failure to protect life, which Islam holds as sacred above all. This is not an accident, it is a failure of leadership and accountability. The level of recklessness on that expressway both from drivers and, more importantly from the authorities responsible for regulating and maintaining the road has reached an unacceptable level. Human life has been reduced to mere numbers. We have repeatedly raised alarms, called for action, and demanded safety measures, yet those in power have chosen silence and inaction. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you is responsible for his flock.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim) Those in authority will answer not just to the public but before Allah for every life lost under their watch due to negligence. Let it be clearly stated: The continued delay in completing this road project, coupled with the absence of emergency response infrastructure, is a direct threat to public safety. The authorities and contractors handling this project have consistently failed in their duty, and the Kaduna State Government must no longer remain passive. We demand immediate and decisive action such as: - Deploy proper emergency response systems along the expressway, including cranes and rapid rescue teams. - Enforce strict regulations on heavy-duty vehicles operating on this route. - Fast-track the completion of the road project without further excuses. - Hold all negligent parties accountable. The Prophet ﷺ also said: “There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm.” (Ibn Majah) What is happening on this expressway is continuous harm, and allowing it to persist is injustice. Enough is enough. We will not continue to normalize death caused by preventable negligence. Every life lost on that road is a stain on the conscience of those entrusted with leadership. Act now or be held responsible, in this world and the Hereafter, for every life that is lost going forward. May Allah grant the deceased Jannatul Firdaus and give their families the strength to bear this loss. Ameen. Cc Senator Uba Sani Sen Lawal Adamu Usman MR LA Rayyan Hussein Kaduna State Roads Agency

The Kampala Entebbe Expressway is now illuminated, with the Northern Bypass set to follow suit. Given its cost-effectiveness and low maintenance, some may wonder why solar lighting wasn't utilized. The first challenge is solar energy, which faces intermittent generation and varying sun hours in different regions. In Kampala, the average sun hours generating light is 3.5 to 4 lux, compared to 6 in Northern Uganda. Seasonal variations further impact consistency, making maintaining the recommended 40-70 lux lighting for expressways throughout the night challenging. This inconsistency poses safety concerns on high-speed roads. Second challenge Vandalism is another issue, as batteries used in solar lighting can be targeted for resale at 12Volts /24Volts. Despite efforts to deter vandalism, the challenge persists. Telecom towers, which also use solar, avoid this issue due to continuous monitoring, which can't be done for a road with 180 lights and less marketable 48Volt inverters. These things are hard to sell. The final Challenge is maintenance and durability. Uganda is a country of pollen, dust and grime. Regular checks on battery efficiency, cleaning of solar panels, and monitoring darkness sensors are essential in our dusty environment. Standard lighting may be simpler to maintain, focusing mainly on the bulb. While solar may be unavoidable in remote and hard-to-reach areas, the initial installation cost, inconsistent light output and maintenance challenges currently make grid power a more practical choice. While there have been successful solar implementations on a global scale, the widespread adoption of solar technology is still in its nascent stages. Notable examples include the A14 in England, where a section incorporates solar lighting, a 24km expressway in Chile that utilizes solar panels, and a segment of Interstate 10 in Arizona dedicated to illuminating wildlife crossings using solar power. These cases illustrate promising strides in integrating solar solutions, yet comprehensive deployment is yet to reach maturity. The transition to renewable energy is seen as inevitable, but for now, standard roads are better suited for solar lighting with manageable lux and duration requirements, e.g. Kira Matugga KCCA roads.

Hitting starts WAY before getting into the box. Below are 6 steps that will lead to more consistent hitting… 1. I believe it all starts the night before with a good PM routine leading to a good night of sleep. Know that a great day today started the night before. 2. Have a solid pre-game routine and be consistent with it. (cage work, BP, standing in on bullpens, visualization, journaling, nap, limit screen time, etc.) 3. Know when your at-bat starts so you can segment the game and turn up the intensity of your focus. Is it when you’re in the hole, on deck, when you put your batting gloves on? 4. When you’re on deck, act like you’re in the box. This time is crucial to take control of your self-talk and breath, and get in sync with the pitcher. 5. Walk with big body language to the plate. Whether you are 10 for your last 15 or 0 for your last 15, carry yourself like the most confident version of you at all times. 6. Have a solid pre-pitch routine. Utilize your breath and make sure your self-talk is directing your focus to what you WANT to happen, rather than what you HOPE doesn’t happen. The great part about these steps is that they are all 100% in your control. Be great with them, and you will win the inner war, and you will become a much more consistent hitter.
