THE EFFECT OF WEATHER IN MY AREA

There is time and season for everything. When it comes to weather, it's a natural phenomenon that human beings cannot stop but rather proffer solution to deal with its effects as it arises.

IMG_20220710_130003_239.jpg

It's the rainy season now and Nigeria's climate has been producing excessive rain across the states, especially in Lagos State Nigeria where I reside. This too much rain has been disrupting lots of activities for so many people almost on daily basis. The Lagos State land hardly absorbs water each time it rains and this causes a lot of un- interlocked roads to look messy and flooded thereby interfering with people's movement. Some part of the major roads on the highway is also flooded on several occasions and this increases the severe traffic we face on Lagos road on ordinary days not to talk of this rainy season.

Lagosians are known for being hustlers and so most people don't sit at home to wait for the rain to stop but continue their daily activities under the rain. This means we have to open our minds to so many disruptions we face while carrying out our daily activities with the weather. The market women and men still find their way to display their products though they still complain of reduced sales due to the weather. The working-class categories are still making headways in their offices no matter the discomfort to avoid salary slashes!!

Personally, the weather has been affecting my health. I don't know if I am a cold-blooded animal 😀🤩 or not, lolz. Whatever I feel unusual cold this day and I can feel it in my ribs. No matter how I cover myself, I still feel cold and this swings my mood and limits me from achieving my goals on daily basis.

IMG_20220710_145351_568.jpg

Well, at least the cold doesn't stop me from smiling away my worries and that's cool😉.

My children on the other hand are still affected by the weather with cold, cough and catarrh even with much covering. At this point, I am beginning to wonder if we can survive in CANADA OR USA since we find it difficult to cope with Nigerian weather🤩🤩🤩🤩. The kids are also restricted from their outdoor games this period by me at least to reduce some negative effects of the weather on their health. Trust me, this one hasn't been easy on them because they feel bored inside and on so many occasions, they attempt playing football in my living room...whatttt!! Don't dare boys😀😀😀, and when I stop them from that, I will receive a bunch of distractions from them while blogging or attending to some mother duties at home.

Some children in my area who don't follow the school bus to their schools miss school sometimes when the rain is crazy in the morning and I feel for them. Some farmers I know that travel to their farms to cultivate these seasons are also complaining about the weather and how their work isn't going as supposed.

image.png

These are some of the ways the weather affects people and me in my area this season and I can't wait for the rainy season to come to an end though I love it when it's not much but its excessiveness this season is indeed disrupting our daily activities.

Eya for those children who couldn't subscribe for school bus don't find easy at all. Perhaps parents should make effort to provide them with umbrella to reduce the effect of the weather on them.

Honestly, I feel their parents should proffer a solution to this so they don't miss out on learning in school.

This season ehn. May God help us. I feel for the market men and women who would still display their wares at the market as it rains...man must survive na. School Children and working class men and women aren't exempted too but there is time and season for everything.

I sometimes work with a work college who is from Nigeria and when she is on duty she tends to turn up the heating thermostat regularly. So, if you plan to come to visit Canada, do so in the Summer months, you won't like the winter months. If you plan to move, then the West Coast may be more warmer year round.

Omo, I wonder the same too. Honestly the weather here isn't being friendly at all.

Some children in my area who don't follow the school bus to their schools miss school sometimes when the rain is crazy in the morning and I feel for them.

My younger brothers are a victim of this. Honestly I feel bad for them, especially during this exams period.

The heavy rainfalls really disrupts a lot of activities for people, I can't wait for this season to come to an end.

The weather is not taking it easy on anyone at all. We are kind of getting a share of what we've caused for ourselves. Especially in Nigeria, we are affected by heavy downpours because we do not have good drainage systems and even the good one's we have waste has blocked them.

God help us oo. I'm glad you and the boys are holding up fine.

Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

The cold these days ehhn! Even a duvet cannot help.. I wish our health will be in check regardless.

And as for your boys.. They won't understand why you can't allow them to play outside.. they can only understand when they become parents later..
So for now they will be thinking.. "Mummy is not being kind to us" lol😅

Hello, Nkem :)

I am sorry that you are having so much rain this season and that it is affecting your daily activities. I'm sure the children feel a bit trapped but it's better not to expose them.

I hope the cold doesn't affect you too much. And let's hope for the heavy rains to stop.

Cheers, sassy girl! 🤗

You live in Lagos? Wow! What part of Lagos because I also live in Lagos. It's been raining heavily for some days now and it has not been funny.

Don't compare Nigeria to Canada, if we get there we would survive how others are surviving there 😀😀. At least there won't be bad roads and traffic to deal with. It will just be the cold and nothing that can't be fixed.

Your boys have turned your sitting room to their football pitch 😀😀 that's hilarious. I can imagine how bored they are with the constant rain.

I’m sure during times like this, Lågöş won’t think twice in hiking the transport fare. Lagos and taking advantage of situations 5&6.

I don leave Lagos for una ooo

Honestly the raining season is not a friend to any outdoor events.. it's a stay at home moment 😂..

Some children in my area who don't follow the school bus to their schools miss school sometimes when the rain is crazy in the morning and I feel for them.

That's very bad for children but I still know of some children that can take this situation for celebration 😂

When the rain comes, a lot of activities are affected and thereby reduced. And the thing about it all is that it is not even doing as if it would be stopping anytime soon, it just keeps on falling and falling...
I wonder how long it would keep this up.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
