Ibadan Records First Rain in 2023
Oyo state capital, Ibadan, recorded its first rain of the year on Sunday.
Our correspondent reports that the rain started heavily at about 3:00 pm today afternoon at Podo, Odo Ona Kekere area of Ibadan and its environs.
A cross-section of residents in the area expressed joy over the new rain, which they described as a relief to the hot weather currently being experienced.
The residents, who prayed for more rain soonest, condemned the services of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) in the area, saying home appliances like fans, air conditioners, and freezers that could have cushioned the effects of the heat and used for food preservation had become useless due to near zero percent power supply.
Further investigation by our correspondent on the first rain revealed that, while other areas felt the cool effect of the rain, it merely dropped or scattered in some areas within the state capital.
