My Experience At The Jos Wildlife Park (photos) by nereushouse(m): 3:40am On Jun 20, 2019
I came to Jos for a short Business trip, so I have decided to sojourn in the City for a couple of days to have a good tourism visits to the beautiful sites of the City.

My first escapade was to the Jos Wildlife Park. I have never been to a Park nor a Zoo hithertho. I decided to visit the Jos Wildlife Park due to its closeness to where I was staying.

I went to the Park excitedly hoping for a beautiful adventure. I paid the compulsory fee sum of N200 for Adults entering to the Park.

Then, I walked straight down to where the animals were caged. Going in, the areas looked so unkept and bushy. Getting to the cages of the animals I discovered most of the cages were either empty or you find skinny animals in the shadow of it selves.
The first animals were two very hungry Ostriches then, l saw an animal looking like a little Tiger looking so hungry, very close to it was a Jackal, it looked so skinny that I wondered the kind of creature it was.
Moving forward, I saw an Elephant being fed by some tourists.

When I got to the cages of Apes, Oh my God. They were so hungry that they were begging for food and edible items from visitors. I saw people throwing all manner of food items at them as food, there were three gorrilas there. The monkeys too looked so hungry and unkept that I thought they were pussy cats. Damn!!
I went to other areas of the Park, I found more empty cages and hungry looking animals.
I felt so disappointed, not even a Staff around the cages to guide people around the Park. Apart form the staff I met at the Entrance gate, I didn't see any other staff inside the Park.

I hereby call on Plateau state Government to do something about the Park or better still convert it to something else.

Looking at them caged and still breathing, you might think they are lucky to have at least escaped premature death from the hands of hungry humans, unlike their free-range counterparts.

But believe me, theirs is even worse because they'd be made a show of, extorted, not well tended to, and would eventually succumb or even get killed by the same humans.

A very cruel way to be an animal in a zoo.

Didn't you see a lion, the size of an ekuke begging visitors for bread?

Visited Jos early this year so I had to stop by Jos wildlife park, I had extreme pity on the Lion(which of course my German Shepard is healthier than) and also the Elephant; take a good look at the elephant's skull in the pic and be sympathetic at how it has shrunk. Mbok God save those animals from the cruelty of humans

shocked The animals are also suffering the aftermath of the next level effect.Who don chop bellyfull to even remember to feed these poor animals?

Even the zookeepers themselves may have been corruptly enriching themselves with feeds meant for the animals.

Why waste that precious N200. Something you would have used to buy suya. Going to any kind of site seeing anywhere in Nigeria is like going to the evil forest to fetch firewood. Next time advice yourself well.

All they do is wait for oil money to be shared..

Any youth who doesnt believe and protest for the dissolution of this country is an enemy of the country itself.

If we had a system where states dont get any money from central govt, no one would go into government except he or she has something proper to offer and generate money for the state.

Nigeria is more useless than uselessness.

Wildlife is meant to be bushy, why it's like that because they want to make the animals feel at home. Tho u don't support caging them for a long time.
