While coming, you will experience these things:
.
1. You will notice they still use mud huts. It's cultural. Their mud houses are round shaped and a bit dwarfy to normal house sizes.
.
2. They sell only roast yam along. You will find people selling roast yam along, they'd be pursuing you to buy it like tomorrow were history.
.
3. Garri market. I wonder if this is where they supply garri from to the world. They are good in garri production. You'd notice they sell it much.
.
4. A police check-point with a military personnel. If you are studious, you will notice almost all police check-points have a military personnel accompanied with them. Maybe, to curb disobedience. You know, the Nigerian police force are not respected here in Nigeria.
.
5. It looks deserted. The environs look like what Moses trekked in the Bible, no wonder he had to take off his shoes.
.
When you are in Markurdi, you must experience these:.
.

6. Pigs are domesticated. Pigs are domestic animals over there, they go around like pets.
.
7. You use pigs to pay dowry. Reliable sources confirmed that in parts of Markurdi, pigs are used as part of paying a woman's dowry.
.
8. You must meet sb who speaks your language. Yes, it's true. Markurdi is in central Nigeria, therefore, almost all tribes may be found there.
.
9. Admiration. Seriously, they admire new comers easily! Little wonder I made many friends!
.
10. Seems peaceful. The place is serene. Well, let's say the place I stayed.
.
11. Phantom Thieves. We were cautioned that they have spirit thieves who would deal your valueable; I mean, Mr Nobodies. Well, theft is everywhere.

DisGuy, justwise, lalasticlala

Weather situation is, sometimes, not taken to account. I took it to account when I figuratively said sth about Moses.

The sun there is really scorching, really, thanks.

Another thing you notice is that when you are in a restaurant ordering or eating food, you find guys milling around. Once you touch your 'washing water' as Igbos do midway into your eating, that's the end to your eating o. Those guys go just rush your food because as far as they are concerned, you don eat finish. Lol. Advice: don't touch your washing hand water until you have actually finished eating.

I forgot this part: timidity.

All states still have mud houses. So what's significant about that? Only 7 seems significant of all you mentioned.

+ markurdi seems to be closer to the sun than it ought to be. So hot!!!!!

Ok

You didn't mention poverty, squalor and pains in the eyes of people.

Highly misleading post.
My submission is that OP visited one of those villages close to makurdi town.

dr cheap girl nko....dey like kokomycin but hiv for dt place no be joke..

Interesting. What of the girls? I heard a lot about Benue girls.

One thing I notice outside Benue state is that the minority Idoma's speak badly about the more populous Tivs.

Yet the few Tivs I met are nothing but angels.

I would have dreaded marrying a Tiv if I hadn't met any first hand

OK

At home, idomas and tivs don't like each other. Outside, they are brothers.

At home

Where is makurdi located?
You have not been to Makurdi not even your family member that is why you say so. Food is not a problem here.and who will allow his children to do that? and who will allow that in his restaurant?
