Lagos Records First Rain In 2024

Lagos State residents have expressed mixed feelings as the state recorded the first rain in 2024.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos yesterday gathered that some parts of Surulere, Anthony and Ojuelegba experienced rainfall for about 20 minutes in the morning.

A resident of Surulere, Yinka Olufemi, told NAN that she was taking her bath at about 10 am 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 at this time of the year; however, my excitement was short-lived when I discovered that the car I spent time washing 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.

Other residents wished the rain could last longer to ease off the hot weather being experienced as a result of the dry season. (NAN)
