Same in Lekki too, started late afternoon yesterday. Just stepped outside to take a look and vehicles are so dusty now and everywhere has the making of harmattan
Also has this chocking effect too

The experience is the same in VI now!

Smog my freaking foot!!!
hiss. . . . una go ust dey yarn wetin una no sabi


this is the effect of sandstorm, taking place in Borno state and some other parts of the North!!!
and trust me, u dnt wanna see a sand storm here in lagos

it turns day into night within seconds, with terrible a trrible storm blowing dust from the sahara!!!
its so bad, that if ure caught up in it, u wnt even see the next persn close to you, cos everywhere is filled wiv thick dust!!!

if ure driving, just pack cos trust me u wnt see a thing! its night thick darkness!!!



i served in Borno state last year, and saw this thing 4 different times!!!!

same here in Jos, but the weather is very cold especialy in the morning. If you mistakenly take a bike, by the time you come back, your eyelashes and your hair would be filled with dust and you would look all grayed like someone in his nineties

if one can accumulate all that dust on him/her, i wonder how much we would have inhaled.

the scary one now is the acid rain scare

[size=28pt]its all lies lies[/size]

its a result of sand storm in some parts of the North!!!!

Maybe its smog where u guys are but its definitely Harmattan where I am (Warri). Heres a simple but very practical check;  Turn on your radio/TV (not cable/satellite) and tune and see how many extra stations u'lld receive, I did and virtually all the choice Lagos channels were queing up in my wired radio. now thats not becos of SMOG!.
    Before Cable TV and satellites brought TV much closer, the Harmattan season used to be the choice season becos of the options it gave in terms of Tv stations, So unless someone can prove SMOG also does that, then its got to be the big H making a late return which isnt even that strange considering we barely had any at all in the season it was due. The wooden doors, and furniture all around are responding to the familiar stretch of the Harmattan and U'd think we would recognize our African winter whenever it chose to come. Relax its Gods relief from the blazing heat

Just noticed dat d air around my area is polluted, its hurts my nostrils

Right now 'am on project excussion to an interior part of Kogi State (Bagana to be precise).

I almost run for my dear live 'cos of this strange weather. Funny enough, the inhabitant here could not even figure out what is happening, all they keep predicting is "hammatan may be worst this year" while I keep asking myself could this be a test fire missle from some where?.

Bravo!! Seun for this enlighten topic. atleast, 'am releif now a bit.

[size=28pt]This thing na effect of sandstorm in some parts of the north, NIgerians dont be scared![/size]!!!

the weather here is so bad, it causes my nose to bleed and giving me serious eye pain. what's this world turning into??

Its so dusty in my area. Its like an after effect of a sandstorm.
I know for sure it cannot be a smog.

If there will be any acidic rain / or whether it causes cancer we shuld be notified clearly so as to take caution

BUNCH OF COMEDIANS

Seriously any weather man in the house? I want to get scientific explanation.

Thanks.

The air really does sting, woke up to find furniture and cars covered in dust this morning. Its about 3 celsius cooler than it was last week. I think sulphur compounds are actually involved becuase there's an orange tinge in the sky. (IKOYI, Lagos)

Hope say no be biblical punishment dey come meet naija ooo!!

na wa ooo!!!

Iniquity upon iniquity in the land.

Great information frm Seun.
Started 21/03/10 in my area (Ikorodu) in Lagos and its not stinky. I just think its harmattan because of the dust.

Its like harmattan in Nsukka

I got home Tonight, And my furniture was so dusty that ; you think I left the house for 3 months

Whatever the cause of this weather change is, be it smog or sandstorm in the North, i just want it to stop. I have being indoors eversince i noticed it and don't even feel safe inside, becos every where is white with dust.

GOD SAVE US ALL.

I noticed it looked foggy 2 days ago.I guess I now know why.
The good thing is, the weather is a bit cooler now!

Dude!

There's no way you can prove what ur tryn say. you haven't provided any concrete evidence.

What's wrong with some people sef Small thing like this they'd start saying 'end of the world' but other warnings about endtime signs they wont take heed come to think of it these are natural climate phenomenon that has been happening in different unpredictable patterns over the years.

The state Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Muiz Banire, gave this advice in a statement, stating that the weather condition “is hazardous for asthma patients and people with respiratory diseases”.
Banire, however, urged Lagosians to remain calm, saying it “is just another manifestation of change in the climate condition”.
According to him, what “is being experienced is the delayed harmattan wind that was supposed to have blown in December/January that is coming now”.


He said samples taken yesterday showed high level of particulate matters in the air.
He noted that the North-east wind that blows across the Sahara Desert carries with it a lot of dust and the weather is very humid.
Any rainfall any moment from now, according to him, may have muddy particles; as such the public is advised not to use it for human consumption. That is for cooking or direct drinking.
Banire said the public would be kept abreast of developments in that direction and constantly advised on steps to take for general safety.
