Recently I lost my grandmother and I travelled with my
family to the village for her burial, after being away from my family for about
ten years, I didn't know what to expect but one thing I was looking forward to
was to go to the river behind my grandparent’s house, I was eager to show my
friends the river I grew up knowing but unfortunately when I got there, it was
gone! The river had dried up! It was completely gone it was unbelievable that
all I could do was stare at the empty space right in front of me.
These are the seemingly minor things that climate change has
caused and those of us in the city are just too busy to notice, Lagos is a very
busy city and everybody is too busy trying to make ends meet to pay attention
to things that happen around us .It might be really hard to grasp the effect of
climate change on us, at least not until the road that leads to our homes are flooded,
these things might seem less important at the moment but we needs to stop! Wait! And think… think about our environment and
how our human activities affect our environment, are we too self indulged to
see that we need to sustain our environment?
It is time to take a moment ,to stop and think about our environment.
