INTRODUCTION

In recent years, Nigeria has faced a noticeable escalation in extreme weather events unusually heavy rains, flash floods, and storms with increasing frequency. Air Vice Marshal Akugbe Iyamu has drawn parallels between Nigeria’s emerging climate volatility and long-established patterns in India, China, and the United States. Of particular interest is the phenomenon he describes as “cloud boost”, ostensibly triggered by the nation’s mountainous topography interacting with equatorial trade-wind dynamics, intensifying rainfall rates to as much as 5–7 cm/hour. This commentary seeks to clarify how such climatological phenomena may operate in Nigeria, and to emphasize the urgent socioeconomic and environmental risks that climate change intensifies across the Sahelian and monsoon-influenced regions.
