See Gembu visible cold

justifyme:
pankshin is highest!! Mangu is cold but i think jos is colder!!! Kanke,langtang and d rest re very hot

They told us that wase is very very hot. If u commit for camp, NYSC officials will threaten you with Wase lga.

Splendblex:


True,no need for freezer in Pankshin o your soup go freeze for pot.

When I was in bassa, we use to cook egwusi soup and keep for 1week without it getting sour. Egwusi soup is known for getting easily soured but in plateau, na different story. During January, we don't fetch water and keep it overnight. The water go turn to ice.

taiwiki:
but Kebbi can be very hot too :

Yea, but freezing cold once it comes to that time of the year

liver123:
Hmm, plateau state, mangu camp during my NYSC , You dare not bath with cold water even in the afternoon. That place weather na die.

Lol. When soldiers go blow trumpet by 5am, u go see boys wey no bath but them go dey rub Vaseline for body, come wear sweater join before leaving the hostel.

Xavi2019:

Nsukka is damn cold, took me a while to adjust to the place.

I can relate. If u no get sweater,coat,cardigan,socks, etc, then OYO na ur case. That was hw I told a friend coming for post-utme to come prepared. He took it for granted. Well, just one night, im body tell am. Sharp sharp he called home & they sent him one big coat & socks via way bill.
I laff him tire dat day

Plus the weather can be so hot in the afternoon. From 10am the sun can be so hot dat u start to dey greet ''good afternoon'' I wear face-cap well we'll dat yr, still e no help. Took like 6 months after graduation 4 me to return to my natural fair complexion cos I almost turn blackie

Are u serious?a plateau resident shld confirm.

The thing whey harmattan cold show me for Zaria eeh..

abdulskulboy:
But the coldest place in nigeria is funtuwa, area in katsina state.

Actually, Funtua is not the coldest place as the other places in Plateau state mentioned by some other people on this thread is colder.

I served in Funtua and experienced the cold.

It wasn't a funny experience at all.

keryj:


Yea, but freezing cold once it comes to that time of the year

yeah and from the weather these days, it seems we are approaching that period now

Back then in Jos.. During harmattan we used to boil water for washing plates in the morning... So imagine water wey you go use bath

To5man:
Visit Gembu, Mambilla Plateau, Taraba (Nguroje, Na there I serve). You go know say Jos dey learn

This is Jos for you. Gembu lol

bizzibodi:

Are u serious?a plateau resident shld confirm.

Lol. Not ice throughout ooo, a thin layer of ice go cover the water, especially if u use iron bucket to fetch the water,

Gembu
Pankshin
Mangu
Vom
Riyom
Jos
If you know you know.

My love for cold weather is beyond measure. God bless me, I will build a house in pankshin and go der to unwind during the harmattan.

@T05man, Nguroje, Sardauna local government, Taraba state is the coldest and highest peak in Nigeria. Gembu just over shadow it being the capital of the LG.
Even though, Jos people whom we served together cannot debate which is the coldest between the two places... I actually enjoyed my stay there.... Batch C, 2010/2011

heskeyw:
Jos is not even cold when compared to other towns in plateau. The cold in jos na only BSc him get. If u visit pankshin or mangu, na there u go see where cold dey offer PhD education to the residents.

Which particular period of the year?

Nairaland can be fun and educating if the thread is not inducing tribal or gender war. I can't believe I spent more than 3hrs reading and rereading comments.
From what I learnt gembu, pankshin and mangu are the coldest in the country.
God bless the op and the commenters.
God bless Nairaland.
God bless Nigeria.

Abuja is not cold at all.

taiwiki:

Yea it's been all rainy these days but not exactly that kind of cold

In the year 1933 in Enugu Ibagwa there was a temperature of 3° Celsius

christejames:
And you didn't add Adamawa and Taraba states where the highest peak is located, also include Nsukka cause it's special place in Enugu state when it comes to temperature

My brother you're right. The cold there is die.
Especially Alvan hostel 400 series in UNN that year.
Man do suffer for this country.

When I was serving and visited Jos, I felt dirty and went to bath. I swear, I ran out of the bathroom screaming, because of the chilled water. Those folks there strong o.

iPopAlomo:

kenzysmith:

when cold comes, it's out of this world.

Perceptor:
In Bokkos Plateau State, you will wear jeans, wear socks ,wear gloves, wear headwarmer, wear hooded cardigan yet cold will be threatening you. I can count the number of times I had my bath throughout my service year .

I served at daffo bokkos. Bokkos isn't as cold as stated

We there (in Jos) use electric blankets (its normally plugged in the wall) to warm ourselves cos a normal blanket one feel like he's sleeping outside...
Room heaters are everywhere. ACs don't sell there...Though there are other LGs that are damn hot e.g Wase, Langtang, Shendam etc. But taking the overall average temperature of a whole state, then Plateau is by far the coldest..
NB: We are talking about temperature as a state not selected locations.
