 Now following the prediction of heavy rainfalls for Lagos in 2021, residents have expressed mixed reactions and how they intend to go about the season. A plus-TV Africa correspondent, Destiny Mummer, tells us more. The rains are finally here. The question is, how ready is Lagos for the rainy season? Lagos state is not prepared. Any small rain now, you see traffic. So they should start working on the area that has flooded, where there is flood. Nobody wants to experience that flooding, lots of properties because the rainy systems have not really been opened. After blaming the people, the government has not shown any political will to really put a stop. When rainy season is approaching, I know how to get myself an environment very clean and tidying up everywhere so that it's not going to affect my area. The deputy coordinator for 2021 annual rainfall prediction from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, James Adamu, hints that the state will experience much rainfall. What we should expect in Lagos is that there is high possibility for high intensity rainfall that will lead to flash floods in Lagos. That means you have heavy rainfall, particularly this very month of May, then July where we're expecting probably an August break. Lagos has a population of approximately 22 million people and the season is not without a heaving traffic situation which follows. James Adamu also advises on how flooding can be handled. He however advises the government and other elite organizations to sponsor the dredging of drainages as a form of social responsibility. For companies to be involved by sponsoring the clearing of drainages and along some strategic parts of the state or the country, then for individuals, ways in which we expose particularly those materials that are not degradable like plastics and water such it. I think we need to have a change of attitude. To avoid these issues, residents must join government efforts to reduce the effects of flooding in the city by avoiding indiscriminate dumping of waste on waterways, water channels and wetlands.
