	EXPRESSO data yield richer understanding of African atmosphere
		The contrast in vegetation is mirrored by a contrast between two low-level air masses: warm, moist Atlantic breezes (the monsoon) from the south and hot, dry Saharan winds (the harmattan) from the north.
		The harmattan's north winds typically override the monsoon at a height of several kilometers, so the mixing is both horizontal and vertical.
		As the harmattan flows across the burning savanna and overrides the monsoon, its ozone levels appear to increase.

		But they said that perhaps once in four or five decades, the harmattan winds bear their cargo of fine dust as far south as Gabon, as is the case during the current winter season in Africa north of the equator.
		The fury of the harmattan was confirmed by reports we received of its impact in Cote d'Ivoire, which we visited directly from Gabon.
		Like the tsunami waves, the harmattan dust made the firm statement that respect for, and a healthy interaction with nature, are of direct and immediate interest to the poor of the world, whose poverty means that they do not have the means to protect themselves from the destructive fury of angry nature.

		Harmattan is, indeed, “messy”, covering cars with “fine grit” and “bare tile floors are dusted with a layer of North African sand.” Except that this time, Ghana meteorologists claim they came from Eastern Europe.

		Laced with autobiographical short stories which also mirror the wider Nigerian society, it is evident from the book that unlike the not-so- pleasant harmattan season which lasts for a short period, Nigerians continue to face social, political and economic challenges.
		This book is a worthy companion to other autobiographical essays on Nigeria, but goes a step further in its wit, humour and daring which are the hallmarks of the author's writings.
		Readers may vilify and sympathise with the many characters in the stories but would also agree that Nigerians deserve a break from their long harmattan season.
