  • RAIN


    Rain consists of water droplets that form as a result of atmospheric water vapour,it condenses and becomes heavy enough to fall due to gravity.

    Also,rain is a type of precipitation that occurs when water falls from the sky in droplets. Rain can range from light drizzles to heavy downpours. The water droplets fall to earth in the form of rain when they become saturated with water molecules.

    However,rain is a source of fresh water for many communities around the world where rivers,lakes or aquifers are not accessible. It makes modern life easy by providing water for agriculture, electrical energy etc.

    Moreso,rain fall occurs in a particular season of the year and has duration. This season is also known as WET SEASON. In Nigeria for example,it typically occurs from April to September. However,the length the rainy season varies by region,for;

    South: The rainy season lasts from March to November.
    Far North: The rainy season lasts from Mid May to September.
    The rainy season is most noticeable on the Southeastern coast,where annual rainfall can reach 130 inches. Climate change is affecting rainfall patterns in Nigeria,contributing to irregular rainfall events outside of the traditional rainy season.

    Also,rain duration can vary depending on the intensity of the rain,the shorter,more intense rains being possible:
    Light rain: A light rain typically lasts 30-40 minutes for 0.10 of rain, or 2-3 hours for 0.25 in of rain.
    Moderate rain: A moderate rain typically lasts 10 minutes for 0.10 in of rain,or 30-60 minutes for 0.25 in of rain.
    Heavy rain: A heavy rain typically lasts 5 minutes for 0.10 in of rain,or 15 minutes for 0.25 in of rain.

    Rain intensity is measured by the rate of precipitation in millimeters per hour:

    Light rain: Less than 2.5 millimeters per hour.
    Moderate rain: Between 2.5-7.6 millimeters per hour.
    Heavy rain: More than 7.6 millimeters per hour
    Violent rain: More than 50 millimeters per hour.
    Rain gauges and Weather radar can be used to measure the intensity of rain.


    The importance of rain cannot be over emphasized they are:
    Rain is a vital source of water for human and ecological survival. It replenishes water resources like rivers,lakes and aquifers and provides water for drinking, sanitation and industrial use.

    It is essential for agriculture,as it provides moisture for crops to grow.

    It regulates the temperature, especially in tropical and temperate regions.After a hot day,rain cool down the environment

    It provides water for hydroelectric power plants.

    It is a vital component of many ecosystems including forest, wetlands and rainforest.


    Also, rain can cause damages or disaster in the world even with its advantages. Acid rain for instance causes damage to a lot of materials,stone,metal etc.
    Heavy rainfall can cause soil erosion and floods etc.

    So to that effect,some necessary measures are to be taken to avoid these damages that occur as a result of rainfall. These measures are:
    Improve drainage by keeping it clean
    Avoid flooded areas
    Build dikes and levees
    Consider terracing steep slopes etc.


    Rain is an amazing weather that symbolizes a lot of events, festivals, cultures etc. No wonder a popular Nigerian Musician named 2Baba sang a song titled “Raindrops” symbolizing blessing according to the music.

    Also,rain is often perceived as a message from the Divine. It signifies the end of a long terror, breaking of drought, unhappiness,rebirth, renewal etc. In the Igbo culture,the New Yam festival is a popular festival celebrated to thank the Supreme God for a good harvest and it is usually celebrated towards the end or after the rainy season.

    In Conclusion,the rainy season is a season to look forward to because of what comes alongside it. It can be enjoyable and can be disastrous as well.

  • Story Time

    In the heart of awada land, surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, two brothers, Chijioke and Obinna, lived a modest life. Their home, though simple, was blessed with a garden where Obinna, the younger, cultivated the most stunning flowers in the region. The garden was a sanctuary of color and fragrance, celebrated by everyone in their village.

    Chijioke, the elder, was consumed by ambition and envy. When the chief announced a grand competition with the prize of Princess Ifeoma’s hand in marriage, Chijioke saw a chance to elevate his status. The competition required the most extraordinary flowers, and Chijioke knew that Obinna’s garden held the key to winning.

    One evening, driven by envy and desperation, Chijioke lured Obinna into a discussion about the competition under the pretense of seeking advice. As twilight fell, the garden was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, and the fragrant flowers seemed to whisper secrets of their own. In a moment of violent rage, Chijioke struck Obinna with a heavy tool, leaving his brother’s body among the blooms. He then stole the most beautiful flowers, presenting them at the competition and winning Princess Ifeoma’s hand.

    Unbeknownst to Chijioke, his crime did not go unnoticed. The spirit of Obinna, bound to the garden he had so lovingly tended, was restless and driven by a thirst for vengeance.

    Nearby, a hunter named Ugochukwu roamed the forest. Known for his keen senses and respect for the natural world, Ugochukwu was often guided by the sounds of the forest. One evening, as he ventured through the dense bushes near Obinna’s garden, he heard an eerie and melodic song drifting through the air. The song was both haunting and beautiful, filled with sorrow and longing.

    Intrigued and unsettled, Ugochukwu followed the melody until he reached the edge of the garden. There, amidst the fading light, he saw something that took his breath away. In the midst of the flowers, which were now wilting and forlorn, lay Obinna’s lifeless body. To Ugochukwu’s astonishment, the body seemed to be singing, its ghostly voice carrying a mournful tune.

    The song was a sorrowful recounting of how Obinna had been betrayed by his own brother. With each note, Obinna’s spirit sang of the love he had for his garden and the betrayal that led to his death. The melody spoke of the envy and violence that had robbed him of his life, and the pain of seeing his beautiful flowers desecrated.

    Ugochukwu, deeply moved and horrified, realized that the melody was not just a haunting tune but a plea for justice. He understood that the spirit of Obinna was trapped, seeking to expose the truth of his death and bring his betrayer to justice.

    The next day, Ugochukwu went to the village and told the elders and Princess Ifeoma about what he had witnessed. His account was met with shock and disbelief, but the haunting song had a profound effect on everyone who heard it. Driven by a sense of duty and justice, the elders investigated Chijioke’s claim and the mystery surrounding the stolen flowers.

    When the truth came to light, Chijioke was confronted with his crime. Overwhelmed by guilt and the relentless haunting of Obinna’s spirit, he confessed his betrayal. The kingdom was thrown into mourning, and Chijioke’s victory turned to dust as he faced the consequences of his actions.

    The spirit of Obinna, having been acknowledged and given a voice through Ugochukwu’s bravery, finally found peace. The garden, once a place of horror, slowly began to recover, though it would forever bear the scars of betrayal. Chijioke’s marriage to Princess Ifeoma was canceled, and he lived out his days in disgrace, forever haunted by the memory of his brother and the spectral melody that had exposed his sin.

    Ugochukwu’s story became a legend in the land, a poignant reminder of the price of betrayal and the power of truth to bring justice and redemption. The haunting melody of Obinna’s song continued to be remembered as a symbol of sorrow and a call for justice in the heart of the Igbo land.
    In the years that followed, the tale of Chijioke and Obinna became a part of Awada Land's folklore, a reminder of the powerful forces of justice and redemption. Ugochukwu was honored with a place of respect in the village, and his role in uncovering the truth was celebrated in songs and stories passed down through generations.The garden, once a symbol of beauty tainted by tragedy, gradually regained its former splendor, though it was forever marked by the story of the brothers. It became a place of reflection and remembrance, where people came to honor Obinna’s memory and to contemplate the lessons learned from the painful chapter in their history.Thus, the legacy of the brothers, the hunter, and the princess lived on, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Awada Land’s history—a testament to the enduring power of truth, justice, and the quest for redemption.
