The wind was so forceful that it swept rain water into houses and shops and it even blew off roofs of houses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another resident Deborah Bamidele who spoke to this medium explained that the extent of the damage was not known until the rain subsided.<\/p>\n<p>In her words, \u201cUntil we came out after the rainfall, we never knew the extent of the damage. Roofs were blown away. Shops were pulled down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is even a case of roof blown out and deposited on an electricity line. We were scared initially that it may affect power supply to our area but we were able to remove the roof from the affected power line without recording any mishap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of the community development associations, Adekunle Adeogun said residents have always surmounted the challenges brfough by such rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>Adeogun explained that after the rain, the youths in the community were mobilised to clear most of the debris as a result of the wind and were able to remove the roof that was blown onto the electricity line.<\/p>\n<p>He also said the elders in the community had been up and doing but still needed government intervention as there was a limit to what they could achieve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still need government intervention in the area is locating a health centre, primary school and other in our community.<\/p>\n<p>We have sent delegations and written several letters on these developments and on many occasions they have promised to intervene but no concrete action in ground yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe roads are had and with had drainage system in the community, whenever it rained, flooding is always a menace but we are lucky that we are on an elevated plain so flood water doesn\u2019t disturb most houses but our roads have been made worse for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
