  • 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.

    These housing projects, comprising 2,000 units in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, and 1,500 units in Kano, are part of the Renewed Hope Cities under the broader Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme, aimed at addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit, with construction work already commenced at both sites.

    These housing projects, comprising 2,000 units in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, and 1,500 units in Kano, are part of the Renewed Hope Cities under the broader Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme, aimed at addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit.

    While the official launch is yet to take place, construction work has already begun at both sites.

  • Student loan beneficiaries may hit 2.1m, says NELFUND

    The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, an intervention agency set up by the Federal Government, projected on Tuesday, that the beneficiaries of student loans may hit an estimated 2.1 million.

    The Managing Director of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, disclosed this at the inauguration and induction of members of the SERVICOM unit and committee in Abuja.

    His projection comes one week after data obtained from NELFUND showed that it has disbursed over N104bn to 613,734 students from Nigerian tertiary institutions since inception.

    The disbursed funds encompass institutional fees paid directly to the institutions of applicants and upkeep loans paid directly to the account number provided by the applicants.

    Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Sawyerr explained that with the admission of about 400,000 new entrants this year, the Fund may be anticipating its total number of registrants to reach 2.1 million students.

    He said, “For the people we are responsible for in tertiary institutions that are government-owned such as polytechnics, universities and colleges of education and the bulk of students who will be coming in for the next session, we have estimated our commitment today to these people is somewhere in the range of 2.1m.

    “It is an estimate and it gets bigger than that when we start our skills programme. That is because there we have a lot more. We are expecting that about 400,000 students will be starting this new session.”

    When asked if the Fund would also address the plight of the over 20 million out-of-school children in the country, Sawyerr dismissed the notion.

    According to him, the loan scheme is strictly for students in tertiary institutions in line with the building principles and law.

    “When you look at the Act that set up NELFund, it is very specific that it is for tertiary education. So, while we recognise that there may be 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, the law only allows us to address those who are studying or about to start the course of tertiary institutions owned by the Federal Government and subnationals.

    “So the rest of the population of students is important. Some of them may eventually come into our purview as they get through their education system. But as of today, by law, we are only able to address those at the tertiary level. We have a two-pronged process. Before anyone can apply for a loan, he has to register with us.

    “We have about 417,000 students who have registered on our portals and about 328,000 who have actually applied. Some have been processed, many have been looked at and most of them will get the loan,” he stated.

    Earlier in her address, the National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of SERVICOM, Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, called for teamwork and cooperation among the inductees to make the student loan process a seamless one for the beneficiaries.

    SERVICOM is a Federal Government initiative to promote effective and efficient delivery in ministries, departments and agencies to ensure customer satisfaction and manage performance.

    She said, “Wherever Nigerian students go, they stand out. So we need to continue encouraging them. It is also our job to build the skills of public servants for excellent service delivery.

    “I want to appreciate NELFUND because it has been in constant touch with the SERVICOM office to ensure this programme is a success. For you to go fast, you can walk alone. But to go far, NELFUND needs to walk together as a team.”
