Please let's rub minds, which is more economical, with this harsh economy and weather conditions, one cannot do without bathing with boiling point water, And cost of everything has skyrocketed, a bag of charcoal is above 5k, 1kg of gas is above a thousand naira and kerosene is also nothing to write home about, so please, I'd like to know how you cope with your families this season, which do you use and why?

1. A charcoal 2. Gas 3. Kerosene 4. All or none ?
Thanks for your input.
In Lagos, the weather is not really cold enough so I do bath with water coming directly from the tap

How can you be wasting your gas just to boil water to take bath?

It's not just an economic waste but it will also subject you to be catching cold the more after you must have left the bathroom.

Come to Kano this period and bathe with cold water, you will know the difference between fufu and garri.

Please try to adapt to bathing with ordinary water. It will not kill you; in fact it will make your body stronger. I haven't used warm/hot water for bathing in over 10 years. You will not die.

It's the weather my brother, I have not seen or heard of anyone bathing with normal temperature water here in Jos.
You are right brother. Jos and some part of Northern Nigeria is not a joke during harmattan season. You will even see people in group or in family units making camp fire in their compound and seating around it just to feel warmth.

I am using;
1. Gas
2. Hotplate (when there's light)
3. Charcoal
In short I'm just mixing things but the light has been my saving grace lately. I didn't see u mention hotplate maybe u sud look in that angle too...

it is direct suicide bathing with normal temperature water in Jos. it usually freezing cold during this season.

Jos or no jos snow is not falling there sha....Bath when the temperature is mild like in the afternoons or alternate days if you must bath in the morning after all with your jos cold you wouldn't be sweating to warrant constant bathing or you do D-Wash jk style grin

buy a slow burner gas top & 12 -30kg cylinder. Whenever you're boiling water set a timer @ 5-10 minutes, gas will last like kilode

Do kerosene still exist ? It's been so long I smelled one. Charcoal is the order of the day. And if there's light, you can use electric hotplate or electric boiling kettle
