Lagos residents witness first rainfall in 2024
Some Lagos residents have expressed mixed feelings as they witnessed the first rain in 2024.
On Wednesday, parts of Surulere, Anthony, and Ojuelegba experienced rainfall for about 20 minutes in the morning.
Yinka Olufemi, a resident of Surulere, stated that she was taking her bath at about 10:00 a.m. when she heard the sound of rainfall.
Ms Olufemi said she had to peep through the window to see rain.
“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,” Ms Olufemi said.
Another resident, Uche Okafor, said he was heading to Costain from Anthony Village, a suburb of Lagos when there was sudden rainfall on the Anthony-Ojuelegba corridor.
Some other residents wished the rain could last longer to ease off the hot weather.
