Changes in climate influence people's well-being; measures to mitigate the impact on us vary by climate type or region. Here's how we adapt to tropical climate in Nigeria:
1. Clothing: In hot and humid climate, people in the south-south and south-east region wear light breathable fabrics like cotton to stay cool. In hotter regions (e.g., north east), loose-fitting robes and turbans help protect against dust and heat.
2. Diet: Climate influences how well crops grow in a particular region. In the south, people cultivate and consume yams, cassava, and seafood due to rainfall and proximity to water bodies, while in the north, drought-resistant crops such as millets and sorghum dominate.
3. Transportation and Infrastructure: Coastal areas experience heavy rainfall and floods. These impact movement and agriculture, requiring a good drainage system to manage these problems. The north requires dust-resistant road infrastructure.
4. Festivals and Social Life: Climate affects how and when people celebrate in Nigeria. In the South, after the yearly agricultural harvest cycle, the "New Yam Festival" is celebrated. In hotter regions, people gather to celebrate in shaded areas.
5. Work and Other Activities: In the south, work starts in the morning and breaks are observed at the peak heat hours. Farming schedules are also influenced by rainfall patterns. In the north, market activities slow down during the hotter days.
6. Housing: Wide windows control humidity and allow ventilation, while some houses are built on stilts in the south to avoid flooding.

Mountains.
Razzak Osemobor Razzak Osemobor July 10, 2025 There are moments while traveling that truly take my breath away. I often find myself lost in such moments, trying to capture the beauty of nature. We’ve heard it said that the Earth is spherical—a theory supported by science and geographers. But when you travel through certain parts of Nigeria and see uneven landscapes, with valleys, hills, and mountains, it can feel like a contradiction to that idea. These uneven lands—especially the hills and mountains—are mostly found in the northern parts of Nigeria, though some can also be seen in the south. For travelers, these features are more than just landmarks. They are sources of wonder, resources, and sometimes even places of settlement. When visiting mountainous regions, it’s not uncommon to see people staring up at the peaks in awe. Some feel the urge to climb to the top to see how the world looks from above...

Climate in Nigeria Climate in Nigeria Nigeria, a country in West Africa, is made up of six geopolitical zones: South-South, South-West, South-East, North-East, North-West, and North-Central. Weather conditions vary across these regions due to several factors: Factors Influencing Nigeria's Climate Latitude and location: Nigeria spans from the tropical rainforest in the south to the semi-arid Sahel in the north. This variation in latitude affects temperature, humidity, and rainfall levels. Proximity to water bodies: The Atlantic Ocean influences the climate of coastal areas like Lagos and Port Harcourt, bringing frequent rainfall and humidity. Altitude: Higher-altitude areas such as the Mambilla Plateau and Jos Plateau have cooler and more temperate climates compared to lowlands. Vegetation and land use: Different vege...
Movement.
Understanding Movement - Part 1 Part 1. Movement occurs when there is a change in position. It is an activity that happens in almost every aspect of our lives. The metamorphosis from the fertilization of the human egg to the development of a baby is achieved through movement. The planets rotate in orbit, and the Earth spins around an imaginary axis running from the North Pole to the South Pole. This takes approximately 24 hours, which is why we experience a complete cycle of day and night within that period. Things That Move All living things move except plants, which are somewhat stationary because their roots are fixed in the ground. Water moves from the roots through the stem to the leaves of plants; some leaves fold and open, while branches and leaves are whirled by the wind. Animals move in search of shelter and food, as well a...

Why things get worse!
Why Things Get Worse! How and why we have found ourselves in this situation in the country is what many ponder from time to time. It may interest us to know some of the foundational problems that have led to Nigeria's current state. 1. Privatization of Public Enterprises : Private enterprises buy public assets, operate, maintain, and set their own prices with the aim of making profits. Their bills and tariffs often become a burden to citizens. 2. Selling your Right/ Vote buying : Just like a transaction, you pay for what you want, and in exchange, you get what you demanded. Once you sell your vote, you have sold your expectations from the government. Vote buying won't elect patriotic citizens willing to serve the nation. Some cups of rice and cash may lead to long-term suffering. 3. Lack of a Price Regulatory Agency : We set up all kinds of agencies, yet we lack one responsible for controlling the prices of goods in the market. There should be a stable p...
