32?!! We've never had temperature that high this winter. we're talking about <10°C here!

temperatures dropped as low as 8° yesterday. at 32° we'll be moving with our t-shirts and 3 quarter shorts.

sonnel:
What about mad men n women that patrol the environment without the above mentioned,does it mean they will freeze to death beofre morning?

. mad people here are not as mad as u think... but honestly its rear to see them left out of home care... they are shown much love most especially by family members and friends... Jos no be Aba or Onitsha...lol...

Larrylarex:
Correct! that's true my brother . I heard snow/ice falls freely while raining in especially Pankshin. Camped in mangu and it was officially announced that you can wear anything as long as it's under your white. Come see how people dey dress like hunters !

I also camped in Mangu. I no follow do one single parade. The cold was too damn much

zimoni:
In my own opinion, cold in Jos is overrated.

The coldest town in Nigeria is called Gembu at Taraba State.

Lobatan.

I've never been to Gembu but I know that there is a plateau in taraba state too, so you can expect it to b cold . My point is that Jos is the coldest CITY in Nigeria , we have other towns that are colder. EG Pankshin

i don't really blame them, this harmattan is evil!. the other day i woke up, it was as if my legs were placed on a semovita powder, not cool!

KenSaroWiwa:
Zaria has crazy temperatures as well. When its hot, you'll think ur in the kalahari desert and when its cold, its like being in Alaska.

......

u mean u re staying Zaria....
mehn! this cold no be here o....

really cold....,!

Larrylarex:
The Jos Plateau is the largest plateau in Nigeria and owing to its elevation, Jos is the coldest city in Nigeria (about the temperature of California, USA) for example, the temperature here now us about 15°C and it has gone south of 10°C at a point in this winter (Yes it is better referred to as winter, this one don pass ordinary harmattan) Because of this cold weather, people usually does some things that would be considered wild by Lagos standards. I present to you below, a few of
them.

1. Boiling water to brush teeth or do dishes:

Some people actually boil the water they wanted to use for brushing Their teeth or do their dishes because ordinary water will be freezing cold and coupled with the freezing breeze is a no no

2. Ladies wearing socks on ANYTHING they wore:

It is not uncommon seeing 'Big girls' wearing socks on office suits and skirts, even after dressing for an owanbe party, socks and gloves were freely worn on the Ankara and lace attires. In short, their is no dressing that's weird here, anything goes
PS: Weird dressing doesn't exclude men too o! I saw a man yesterday that wore a sweater over his shirt before putting on the suit jacket

3. Purposely Staying under the sun:

You'll see people intentionally staying under the sun as soon as it comes out just to feel the warmth of the greatest source of energy.

4. Bathing with boiled water:

I dare say that there is nobody I mean NOBODY in this Jos that has the effrontery to bath with ordinary water as history has it that some people actually froze to their death when they tried it in times past.

5. Putting on electric stove in the bedroom:

because of the unusual cold, some people will put on the electric stove at night just so they can be warm throughout the night.

6. Sleeping with more than two pieces of clothing on:

Its a common thing if people slept dressing like an astronaut, I mean with two trousers, two shirts, one Cardigan, head warmer and hear muffs, Hand gloves and socks all under a cover cloth/duvet! Lil!

If you're staying on the Jos or Taraba plateau please add yours

Jos girls have grown used to it... now, runs girls charge extra: Take it or leave it... which ofcourse leaves you no choice.

A woman will surrender her body to be abused by strangers for a price... but will surrender her soul for love:- King Nebu.Uka.D.N'Eze 700bc

Can imagine how jos is ...when I was in kaduna, I had all sorts ...sweater, head warmer, muffler, thick footballer socks...having a bath was achieving a task..."heey tessy you don bath.eyaaah...
