Oh my J- town miss you so much.
Long live University of Jos. Long live Jos, Nigeria. Long live Plateau state!!

Reference:


I think every part of Nigeria has its security challenges but it all depends an individuals threshold for violence and negativity because they take all shapes and intensity. If you are a hausa muslim living in the city of Kano you will regard the place as absolutely safe ut not if you are a christian missionary or evangelist. Similarly if you were a fulani herdsman, crossing the middlebelt is fraught with grave danger and when you eventually get south you have to be picky on where you can and cannot go.

If you are kind of person that forgets instantaneous pain and danger like a woman who gives birth then certainly places like Jos might appeal to you because they are generally tranquil for long periods but have these occasional explosions of violence and insecurity. Some with short memory can live with that. On the other hand places like Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Abia, etc may not have the danger of communal or religious or sectarian violence but have the elevated danger of crime which suits some but other cannot live with.

It has to do with ones personality. Some fear short sharp pain while others abhor a throbbing, numbing headache. I for one cannot live in a place of constant insecurity no matter how mild that is, even if it is pickpocketing that has to keep me awake or at watch 24-7, that is why I find it difficult to stay in Lagos for instance but being a sort of risk taker I will rather live by a volcano knowing it won't erupt everyday and I might just have traveĺed out the day it actually does. I will chose Jos over most cities anyday, but like I said the lack of a virile economy on the eastern flank of Nigeria is a big let down....but hey if the economy becomes like that of Lagos, surely the hassle will be too.

you've said it all..it annoys me though when I see people painting other regions bad..eery region has its own problem
Just as you said it all boils down to ones personality
BTW are you a psychologist ?

J- Town..Home of Tourism...
A place that almost claim my life..(2014)
A place where the people of Jos South can't go to Jos North and Vice Versa..
Home of religion war.

just dey hype jos as if say na heaven.
there is nothing sweet about jos. there is no state that is not expensive in this administration.
infact every state got their own uniqeness
if i write about Edo state ehhnn! you go fear
fear and you go read tire
you wan try the unique valley when surround benin city
the only city that is boldly written on Nigeria map. BENIN CITY!
for those who attend catholic church, the first mass in the whole of africa was said in the ancient city of BENIN

and after the mass you people now said "let the juju begin!".

There is nothing special about Jos.

The so-called "Millionaires' Quarters" is just "one eyed among the blind" establishment.

The weather is very cold around Christmas. The hills have beautiful lowers.

Every other thing looks like a typical Northern city.

The city is stagnant.

You are asking is jos be like heaven. but u know what, there is a place in Jos that is called Rock haven, u go like the place bro

Nice 1

Jos is the best place for vacations in Nigeria, I did my Nysc there In 2014 and it was a nice one with the chilling temperature which I loved so much and the natural beauty but one can't predict when there will be crisis or bombing there;I experienced one though @terminus,it was awful...

that's a lie. the Portuguese came to Bini in the 1500s but in Egypt, there were Catholics long before the 1500s before the encroachment by the Ottoman empire.

Its not competition guy...

jay city all the way....ah rep JOS

Beautiful place to visit, but?

NO. I Lived for 8 years in Benin. If not now that oshomole constructed /beautified ring road and other areas. Benin has been like a big village. 78% of buildings in Benin are mud buildings.. Benin is not a neat /clean town at all

I have to be insane to choose any southern city over jos. In fact shoot me if I do that. Southerners just have a way of hyping their cities but most towns there are over crowded and smelly. Lagos is unlivable these days. Everything bad about a city is found in lagos.
They usually talk about security issues as if the South is any more secured. Ritual killing, kidnapping, cult killing, armed robbery etc are all very rampant in Southern Nigeria.
I will choose jos, Kaduna, Kano, abj, etc over any southern city.
Yeah, I have been to most Nigerian cities so I know what I am saying.

Buh Op....u sef. That first picture is not Jos na. That's the birds view of the flyover along Itam in akwa ibom state.

still more livable than whatever town it is you hail from in Nigeria. Won't swap it with any town in Nigeria

Jos trumps all your smelly South Western towns by a mile. Anyone who has lived in the South west and jos can never chose the former over the latter.
But just keep telling yourself what you want to believe

Pls Try Your Best To Tour Jos, You Will Testify Yourself, Ibadan That Lacks Drainages, You Cant See A Street In Jos With Water Covering The Road, Mbanu, Its Not Possible, I Respect Ib City As One Of The Major City In Nigeria, But Recently, It Seriously Cant Be Compared To Jos.

Exactly my broda. Thia is why i love my state so much
Am currently in the south-south, and most times when it rains, we must swim home. Stagnant water will just be all over the streets, covering everywhere. And as usual, mosquitoes breed everywhere. Jos is just seriously unique.
God bless our beloved city and state

no offense bro, but it's better for you not to comment than to comment on what you don't know, the Bolden ed above just gave you away, you have never been to Jos, how can you say Jos North and South don't pally? Jos North is full of beromites, anaguta, etc and Jos South is full of beromites, so how will beromites not settle just because they are from different LGA? The only local government that you can say all the 16 lgas in Jos can't visit freely, is wase lga, because it mainly consist of Muslims, even at that, Christians are very much in wase
