As I made my way through the ever busy Ahia Ọhụrụ (New Market) while shopping, the skies suddenly darkened and raindrops began to fall in great torrents.
Surrounded by vibrant colors and lively chatter, the rain added a refreshing touch to the scene. Vendors scrambled to cover their goods, while shoppers sought shelter beneath nearby canopies and awnings. .
Fortunately I was already at this stall where I usually buy yams so I took shelter there, watching the rain transform the market's atmosphere. The smell of wet earth and fresh produce filled the air, mingling with the pitter-patter sound of the rain as it hits the ground, and umbrellas opening.
I quickly pulled out my phone from my handbag to capture the moment.
The rain may have interrupted the day's activities, heck! it actually did because it lasted for over an hour, but it also brought a sense of calm and community to the market, and a cold evening too, lol.
Location: Ahịa Ọhụrụ (New Market), Aba, Abia State, Nigeria.
