See the way the Op is hyping taraba, that state is dry, the only good thing about the state is the low cost of living, there's no 3star hotel there, I looked for prawn crackers in taraba for a whole year I didn't find, only one ice cream vending machine in taraba, just one whack eatery, another good thing is that there's no traffic. Well the state is surrounded by mountains, the harmattan is very crazy, and its very far by land
