When it rains heavily and the roadf to your house looks like this but you don’t how a boat

Or the wind that accompanied the rain was so much it fells three electric poles in your area which means bye-bye to light for the next 2 thousand weeks.

Or the wind blew your roof away and you know you have to spend your next pay check on fixing it instead. Thus wasting money you don’t have on things you didn’t plan for.

Or you always have to say a silent prayer everytimes it rains because you know your landlord built a cheap house and the blocks are not strong so you don’t want to be stuck under a collapse building.

Or when it suddenly startes raining without warning. This minutes it was extremely sunny and the next minute, it is raining cat and dog like no man’s business and you have no place to run to for cover. Benin city is most guilty of this.

Or its rains heavily at Ojota and you are mercilessly drenched but you get to Ojulegba and there is no drop of rain but sun shine and everyone is looking at you strangly.

Or when it takes your laundry forever to dry
