Ikeja — Some parts of Lagos metropolis yesterday, witnessed the first rainfall of the year.

The rain which was not destructive, began around 1.30p.m. and lasted for about an hour.

Some residents in Ikeja area said the rainfall was “a welcome development,” adding that it portends good signs for the New Year.

Mrs. Caroline Ojo, a grocery trader at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, said it was a sign of good things to happen this year.

“God knows that the weather has been too harsh and people are not comfortable, hence He opened the heavens for the rain to fall,” Ojo said.

Passengers were seen stranded at the exit gate of the airport, waiting for the rain to stop.

A passenger, Alhaji Bulus Abubakar, said that the rainfall would enable the harmattan haze that usually affected the visibility of pilots during taking_off or landing of aircraft, to be reduced.

However, the rainfall did not affect flight operations.

Cool... We hope the rain remains calm, we don't need that destructive rain, that comes as a curse instead of a blessing...
