Talking about a state blessed in natural resources and I think of Plateau. This is me being unbiased. The state is beautiful. Not with man made structures, but in geography. I saw one of the most beautiful topography there. The flat grasslands that covers large areas. The majestic rocks that stand firm and proud. I'm no scientist, but I understood geography better looking at them. I remember how I try to locate the different types of rocks I was thought in secondary school geography (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic). I was imagined the minerals trapped in those rocks that are been ignored. I learnt from people around that the rocks grow. I always imagine the rock spitting out lava which cools off, thereby increasing it's size...I don't know sha. Whenever you stand close to these rocks, you'd here rushing water inside. This water is one of the cleanest and purest there is. These rocks are also breeding ground for so many animals. Especially snakes. In Langtang North, some serves as their shrines or places where they carry out different sacrifices. And from the rocks, there are some very beautiful fountains. The rocks are mostly cold, especially those very smooth ones. And sometimes houses are built on these rocks. These houses are always very cold. Pankshin the birth place of former head of state; general Yakubu Gowon is the coldest place on the Plateau. It is also the location for a federal college of education. As you move away from Pankshin, heading towards jos. It becomes hotter. From Pankshin to Mangu, Bokos, Barkin Landi and Jos. But all of these places are cold and will at least give you the Europe feel. From Pankshin heading towards Shendam. It also becomes hotter. From Pankshin to Kanke, Langtang North, Langtang south, Mikang, Quan pan, and Shendam. Now the only feel you'd get from these places is the Sahara feel.

Plateau state is blessed with food.They are the highest producers of Irish potatoes not just in Nigeria but in west Africa. There's an abundance of both sweet and Irish potatoes, tomatoes, beans, pepper, oranges, mangoes, guavas, yams, rice, groundnut, cassava, dates, tiger nuts, tangerine, sugar cane, bambara nut, soya beans, maize, wheat, millet, sorghum, guinea corn and even strawberries. Food is cheap there, especially in it's season. There are beautiful beds of wild flowers along the road during august and September. These flowers comes in different shades of red and yellow beautifying the roads and releasing sweet smell for travelers.

There's a lot of illegal mining activities going on in the state...I don't blame them though. With so many neglected minerals yet to be tapped. And a government that couldn't care less. Tin is the major mineral there. There's an abundance of sand. They have these little bridges as you travel from local government to local government with shallow streams of water flowing through. During the dry seasons these streams dry off, leaving lots of sand behind.
There are so many artificial lakes and dams at different places in the state. And I can promise you, on the Plateau, you don't need too much money to see nature in it's finest.

There's zoo and a wildlife park in Jos. Both comes with amazing variety of animals. From huge pythons ...for the Slytherin lovers to Elephants, Lions, Foxes, different types of primates(monkies, chimps, gorillas, baboons etc), Camels, Hyenas, Crocodiles, Tortoises, exotic birds etc. There's a polo club and a museum.
Just in case you are planning your next vacation spot. There's one in Nigeria.
