Oklander: Even if its possible, I sea no reason why they would do that as Road construction is best during rainy season...really? |

It's called Cloud seeding. Cloud seeding , a form of weather modification , is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds , by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei , which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud.

It's real,i was working on small access road in Abia couple of years ago,the project was supposed to last 2 weeks but rain did not permit, I was running cash on hotel,labours and the little work we were able to do was destroyed by rain I was kind of frustrated. A man near by that was observing me approached and asked for 5,000 naira (that was in 2008) to 'help' me out,i asked for the kind of help,he said if I still want to do the job,eventually I gave him the money and not even a drop of rain till I completed the job 1 Like |

kel4soft: This thread is open for Civil Engineers and other related fields who are in highway doing what you know how to do best. a friend of mine who is a geographer told me something sometimes ago. She told me rain doesn't fall wen d rainbow appears. She said d construction companies have machine dat projects artificial rainbow to stop d rain wc most time obstruct quality result. |

diablos: Stopping rain is d most minute of things that julius berger does. They even capture spirits n deities dat attempt to hinder dia construction work.I know about an incident that happened in ph City years back.. @ an oil site. Everytime they bring their equipment to drill.. It. Just. Goes deep into the. Ground, and it cost the company a lot. So they called a particular ghanaian spiritualist that was based in. Agege. He told them some witches in the village don't want them. To build the project. He Got to the site. Did some sacfrice. And removed two cockroaches from the drill hole. From then on. The construction went smoothly. I even know of some wedding and burial events of which they call rain makers |

Oklander: kel4soft: absolute spot off. as an engineer u 1) design for worse case scenerios. 2) dont predict worse case scenerios in dis case possible water/rainwater characteristics while constructing 3) dont implement a design (actual road construction) when u r still gatherin facts. u shuld hav planned for all dese in d preliminary stages of d project via research and what have u. dis is best done during d rainy season & in ur office/company/firm. Once d rains r over (during d dry season), u shuld b ready t commence work at d project site. okay y people dey stop work wen rain wan fall? thank u! 2 Likes |

I am a civil engineer and will be shedding light on what is uncleared to most of u, it looks like fiction but d fact is dat it is not. Firstly, Construction is best achieved during dry season as d water control will not be a disturbance to dem and secondly, if eventually d construction is in rainy season, d const. companies will work in pari-pasu wit weather forecast, dat will predict for dem which day to carry out major concrete casting. Usually, construction companies work in accordance to weather forecast. 2 Likes |

Usually, construction companies work in accordance to weather report. you are a learner. When Julius Berger was fixing 3mb, I observed that you will drive through rain till you get to the bridge and it turns dry weather. This happened for 3 long months. During Easter I was home to commit my Dad to mother earth, I kept one of the rain makers standby just in case. The day before rain messed up another burial until another of my uncles engaged those guys. Even the bible agrees that there are powers and principalities. My people should stop dying on account of ignorance. |

This construction companies do go fetish at times, I never believed until I witnessed one some months back. CCECC which is handling road projects in Abeokuta was to construct a bridge over a river within the city. During the dredging of the river strange things started happening, heavy rainfall leading to overflow of the river, 3 heavy duty equipment broke down within a day. The Chinese on sensing that this is supernatural invited their own spirtualist who is also chinko. Right in my presence, 3 goats were slaughtered with blood sprayed across the bank of the river. The following day, the machines began to work and construction proceeded smoothly. Chinko dey do jazz 1 Like |

As a METEOROLOGIST: We refer to the process of inducing artificial rainfall as CLOUD SEEDING (atmospheric water nucleation). It involves the introduction of dry ice or chemicals e.g. silver iodide into the upper part of the atmosphere to help create an artificial platform for condensation. In like manner, the introduction of certain chemicals can as well help to dissipate (de-nucleation) an already built up rain cloud such as the cumulus and the stratus genres. These are purely SCIENTIFIC and have nothing metaphysical. 1 Like |

iiichidodo: Delaying rainfall over an area of infrastructural importance is a matter of good timing and deployment of weather tools used to disperse cumulonimbus clouds.....Sir, it's not limited to the cumulonimbus cloud. Other cloud genres such as those of stratus can also be dissipated. |

Ive been told by a staff of a construction company that they occassionally require the services of Rainmakers when they are behind schedule due to incessant rainfall. |

This things are so real. They do not only happen in local places. This thing happened in mushin. Has anybody been to mushin lately. In fact, any road construction done in lagos state or any part of Nigeria is not as easy as people see it. Before they could expand that road in mushin the contractors went through hell. Most times the appeasement is done at night. This is confirmed not based on hear say. All this is largely because of poverty. Poverty is so much in the land that people are still greatly influenced by all this things. We in africa are still living in dark ages. The white folks went through this phase long long time ago but somehow they were able to grow above it. I mean why would a water goddess get angry because they want to build a bridge across. The same thing happened for 3 Rd mainland bridge. The story for that bridge is long but also very true. When I was in lag. If u go to the lagoon front. U see some of this ilaje people who own boats. Sometimes they take u for a ride. I don't no if it is still allowed now. U need to hear the stories they say...... I just laugh at people who say there is no God or try to use logical explanation to describe a spiritual phenomenon. People that believe in God but do not believe in the spiritual are even the most stupid of them all. 1 Like |
