No one can forget the effect of the heavy downpour of last year, it was so bad that many lives were lost and properties destroyed and now there is a prediction of rainfall in Lagos AGAIN! This time 236days! this sounds really bad O!
The Commissioner-Tunji Bello said: “The natural phenomena that controlled 2011 rainfall are still in force and as such it has been predicted that rainfall will commence from Thursday, March 22, with a margin of error of four days. To a large extent we will agree that this prediction is true as the rains have started in Lagos. It has also been predicted that the end of the season for 2012 is November 12 with a margin of error of two days; with between November 10 and 14 as probable days. The total length of rainy season for the year is approximately put at 236 days with a margin of error of two days. Like last year, Lagos will experience heavy rainfall with serious intensity.”
He further assured residents that the government had designed programmes to manage the expected rain water and minimize flooding through exercises such as massive clearing of drainages, dredging of primary and secondary channels, lining of many earth channels and the introduction of resident drainage maintenance officers in local councils in the state. The effects of last year’s rain on Sunday July 10, 2011 which lasted for about 15 hours still brings unpleasant memories to those who witnessed it. Some houses and cars were completely submerged in water and the flood got into people’s home in ways they never wished for. The floods showed the poor condition of drainages and the state’s unpreparedness for heavy rainfall.
Honestly I was expecting to read or hear that we need not to worry that every loop holes that made many lose lives and properties have been taken care of 100%, so that we as citizens can go about our daily lives without fear of these 236days rain prediction. Do you agree?
