Some Lagos state residents have expressed mixed feelings at the first rain in 2024.
Some parts of Surulere, Anthony, Idumota and Ojuelegba experienced showers of rainfall for about 20 minutes in the morning.
Yinka Olufemi, a resident of Surulere, told NAN that she was taking her bath at about 10 a.m when she heard the sound of rainfall.
Olufemi said that she had to peep through the window to see showers of rainfall.
“First, I was excited to see the rain falling at this time of the year; however, my excitement was short-lived when I discovered that the car I spent time to wash was messed up by dust that accompanied the rainfall,” Olufemi said.
Another Lagos resident, Uche Okafor, said he was coming to Costain from Anthony Village, a suburb of Lagos, when suddenly there were showers of rainfall on the Anthony/Ojuelegba corridor.
A trader, Grace Anyanwu said she was surprised when the rain started all of a sudden and caught all of them at Idumota by surprise.
“I had barely displayed my wares waiting for customers when the rain started. It lasted for about an hour, but we were happy it fell because the heat is becoming unbearable.
A government worker who also experienced the rain said that he wasn’t exactly surprised as NIMET has informed of the likelihood of a light shower in some parts of the state.
Some other residents wished the rain could last longer to ease off the hot weather being experienced as a result of the dry season. (NAN)
