The lines above is the lyrics from one of Bob Marley's numerous songs titled Sun Is Shining
"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Makes you wanna move your dancing feet"

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), has warned that there will be severe weather and heavy rainfall in Lagos tomorrow Tuesday June 18th.

NEMA spokesperson, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the early warning is based on alerts received from the African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development based in Niamey, Niger Republic.
He said:
“In Nigeria, Lagos and its environs are expected to experience torrential rainfall from about 50 mm 24h: Confidence medium means that all stakeholders must be prepared to take all precautionary steps against leaving the warning unattended......blah blah blah"
The NEMA warning at least shows some people work in that agency. It's good they warned before hand, Im glad it wasn't like Noah's warning of flood. I look out my window and the sun is shining. Yes it rained earlier, not heavy by any ramification. That goes to show you that man propose, God laughs and then dispose!

However I have one issue with the source of that warning. Seriously NEMA went to Niger Republic to get a reading on Nigerian weather?! What is NEMA Nigeria doing? Let me guess PHCN didn't give them power to do the work. Could it be the road to their office is bad so they went to Niger Republic. Just like we fly to foreign countries for good medical treatment? Is it the same reason why we import even common toothpicks? Let's hope they didn't come back with excess luggage of terrorist as evidence insurgence activities points in that direction.

I liken it to President Jonathan running to Niger Republic president to rule Nigeria with the resources of Niger Republic. That is ridiculous. I don't if the body is  African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development, Nigeria claiming GIANT of AFRICA should have it's reliable effective and efficient Meterological Institute.

Trust me some countries of Africa or non African believe Nigeria is the GIANT of AFRICA but in a negative sense. Please fix our own meteorological institute and forecast correctly from it next time. Thats my opinion which I'm entitled to.

Nigeria; good people, great nation
