Limult African Car Automoble Decoration And Design
Africa has a large and important car manufacturing industry but none is sold to customers within the Continent. All are exported. Almost every car bought and used by Africans is imported and most are second hand, carrying huge import duties that typically double the price making them more expensive than new cars sold abroad.
Africans are sick of it and are answering back. Nigerians have a word “tokunbo” meaning “foreign used”. A statement on the website of Innoson Motors, one of Africa’s first and only automotive manufacturing companies, reflects the current mood:
“Africa has literally become a dumping ground for foreign used automobiles. We are not second class people that should only drive second hand vehicles.”
A commonly held view is that no one manufacturers cars in Africa for the African market but Limult Group has found a handful of entrepreneur-lead organizations making a mockery of that assumption.
Wallyscar
Founded in Tunisia in 2006, Wallyscar manufactures a range of small 4x4s sold predominantly in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Brothers Omar and Zeid Guiga set up the company with the idea of making the vehicles affordable, stylish and sporty. They sell to order between 300-600 units a year at a price point of around €15,000 and are now planning an electric version.
Kantanka Cars
Engineers at the Apostle Safo Suaye Technological Centre in Ghana have been busy developing an electric car. The company itself was established in 1994 by Apostle Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka to manufacture a range of saloons, four-wheel drives, SUVs and pickups.
In December 2019, the company started manufacturing electric vehicles. The Kantanka Odeneho II is powered by 12 rechargeable batteries, each with a predicted lifespan of over four years. Unlike EVs produced outside of Africa, such as the Tesla, the Kantanka Odeneho does not require specialist set up or equipment for charging as it plugs straight into a mains socket.
Africa’s first EV
Africa’s first electric vehicle to go into production, the Kiira EV, was built by students of Uganda’s Makerere University in 2011 with government support. The students went on the found Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC) after taking part in a vehicle design summit organized by the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
In 2014, KMC officially became a company owned by the Ugandan government and Makerere University. Eager to support the production of eco-friendly vehicles, the government granted the company a 100 acres of land to establish a manufacturing plant.
KMC has so far designed and built three concept vehicles, the first of their kind in Africa. They include the Kiira EV, Kiira EV Smach, which is the first electric hybrid vehicle designed and built in Africa and the Kayoola Solar Bus, which runs on lithium-ion batteries that power the electric motor plus a 2-speed pneumatic shift transmission.
Only time will tell if Africa will win the fight for domestically manufactured vehicles, designed for the terrain at affordable prices but where there’s a will, there’s a way. The Continent’s growing urbanization and middle classes have some power and appear to be voting with their feet. It seems some governments are also now keen to support local production.

Limult Mini-industry construction for community development
WHY CONSTRUCTION AND LAND DEVELOPMENT ARE IMPORTANT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We can all agree that land development is essential for a community’s success. While development can sometimes be frowned upon, as it changes the face of the landscape, creates more traffic, changes ecosystems and habitats, it is imperative for the prosperity of your community. It can generate more jobs, bring desired curb appeal, unite community members, and maintain or increase home values. Whether the development is residential or commercial, construction brings economic stability. Finding a balance between growth and maintaining the character of your community is key to the planning of development, as well as, weighing the pros and cons.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Construction and land development can create added waste to our landfills and not all materials are environmentally friendly. In metropolitan or urban areas that are highly populated and built up, a heat island effect can occur. Thus, making it warmer in these areas than rural areas due to the volume of energy being consumed. Land Development can change ecosystems and force wildlife to relocate. At the same time, land development can have a positive impact on our environment. Governing entities may require developers to bring buildings up to current code or clean up contaminated sites from a previous business. Site cleanup is costly, but it brings added value to our environment. Incentives are sometimes offered for using sustainable materials or building Green or a LEED certified structure. Oftentimes developers will clear out invasive/non-native trees and replace them with native trees.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Some townships/cities will require the developer to make improvements to infrastructure. This might include, enhancing the road condition, replacing old water or sewer pipes, installing sidewalks, adding additional landscaping and increasing the number of public parking spaces. Holding developers accountable for community improvements removes some of the financial burdens your city/township can endure.
ECONOMIC/SOCIAL IMPACT
When you see businesses expanding, new commercial buildings being constructed, new neighborhoods being built and existing homes being renovated, it signifies a growing community. Growth can present challenges, however, it is a necessity for the prosperity of your city. Construction has a direct impact on our economy, as it creates jobs. Construction also has a trickle-down effect on industries, other than its own. Commercial and residential construction stimulates growth in retail, real estate, equipment, manufacturing plants, schools, and tourism, to name a few. Even though to community members, construction and development can seem invasive and unnecessary, it is vital for your economy.

Limult Ocean water
Ocean waters are salty and contain minerals and dissolved gases. They also have a high heat capacity and vary in density depending on temperature and salinity.
Uses of Ocean water
The use of salty water is made easier by desalination, which can be done through either distillation or osmosis. Making seawater potable, or drinkable, is plainly a useful goal, but the process is expensive and therefore usually only performed on a large, industrial scale.
From a health standpoint when it comes to salt water, facts are that some evidence exists that salt water benefits include the prevention of atherogenesis (the formation of "plaques" in the arteries that carry blood to the tissues of the body). It also may be helpful in treating the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, and may also prevent some of the damage to the liver that may result from a high-fat diet.
Deep sea water may be effective in the prevention of certain cancers, including breast cancer. The mechanism for this is not well understood as of 2020, but research efforts in the area of cancer prevention using Ocean water continue. It is also believed that Ocean water can mitigate some of the symptoms of diabetes mellitus.
But why is ocean water salty? Well, most of the salt that ends up in the oceans originated on land. Rain, as well as moving water in rivers and streams, washes over rocks containing the mineral sodium chloride, which you know as common table salt. The salt is then carried into the oceans. Salt can also find its way into oceans through underwater volcanoes that stir up salt and other minerals from deep layers of the earth.
The salt in oceans becomes more concentrated over time as water from the surface of the ocean evaporates, leaving the salt behind. Salt is the main chemical ingredient in ocean water, but it also contains other chemicals, such as magnesium, sulfate, calcium and potassium. Many scientists believe that life began in the oceans, so it's not surprising that chemicals found in seawater are important chemicals needed to sustain life.

Limult Cocoa Beans and Types
Cocoa is the plant from which chocolate is made. Bitter chocolate is produced by pressing roasted cocoa kernels (seeds) between hot rollers. Cocoa powder is produced by squeezing the fat (cocoa butter) from bitter chocolate and powdering the remaining material. Sweet chocolate is produced by adding sugar and vanilla to bitter chocolate. White chocolate contains sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids.
Long regarded as a food treat, cocoa is now used by some people as medicine. Cocoa seed is used for infectious intestinal diseases and diarrhea, asthma, bronchitis, and as an expectorant for lung congestion. The seed coat is used for liver, bladder, and kidney ailments; diabetes; as a tonic; and as a general remedy. Cocoa butter is used for high cholesterol.
Some people apply cocoa butter to the skin to treat wrinkles and to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.
In manufacturing, cocoa butter is used as a base for various ointments and suppositories made by drug companies.
Types of Cocoa Beans
CRIOLLO: The rare bean
The Criollo beans are the finest & rarest form of cocoa beans. Character : These beans are fruit forward & are highly aromatic. They lack bitterness and have rich secondary notes.
Availability : It only accounts for only 2% of the global cocoa produced as they are extremely vulnerable to environmental threats & have a low yield as the trees produce very limited pods. Farmers find this crop extremely difficult to produce, which is due to both low yield and high susceptibility to pest attacks as the beans are naturally sweet in taste. This leads to the constantly diminishing availability of this bean.
Appearance: The Criollo pods are usually red or purple in colour & have a grainy uneven surface. The colour of the beans ranges from white to pale pink, depending on whether it is derived from a freshly opened pod or otherwise.
Native Region: The Criollo tree is native to Central & Southern America, the Caribbean islands & Sri Lanka.
FORASTERO: The Robust bean
The Forastero beans are commonly referred to as bulk cocoa. They are the most widely produced cocoa variety in the world, contributing to almost 80 -85% of the world’s total cocoa produce.
Character :They are bitter in taste and don’t have a secondary flavor supporting it like the Criollo. The exterior surface of the cocoa pod is relatively smooth & harder in comparison to the Criollo pod. The flavor profile is strong and earthy and needs to be mixed with superior quality cocoa for added taste.
Availability : These beans are available in abundance and account for about 80-85% of the world’s cocoa. Unlike the Criollo beans, the Forastero beans are not susceptible to diseases and have a much higher yield, making them the chosen variety for cocoa producers due to their robustness.
Appearance: When freshly cut open, the colour of the beans is purple and that of the pod is yellow.
Native Region: Generally produced in Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, New Guinea, Brazil, Malaysia & Indonesia.
TRINITARIO: The Hybrid bean
The Trinitario beans are a natural hybrid resulting for the cross pollination between the Criollo and Forastero beans.
Character : Trinitario beans have the robustness & high yield of Forastero beans along with the sublime taste of Criollo beans. However the grade of this cocoa varies from average to superior.
Availability : They account for 10%-13% of the global cocoa production.
Appearance: The colour of Trinitario pods vary in shape & colour as it is a hybrid. The beans are white to creamy in colour.
Native Region: It first came into existence on the island of Trinidad after the local criollo crops were destroyed by a hurricane & new Forestaro crops were replanted. This gave birth to natural hybrids as an outcome of natural cross pollination between the old Criollo crop & newly planted Forastero crops. Trinitario has the strength of a Forastero bean to fight against diseases and the taste of a Criollo bean. They are also found in the Caribbean islands, Venezuela and Colombia and also in some parts of South-East Asia.
