czarina:
just wait, I'll find the screenshot, I just hope I haven't deleted it.

This was Dec 2017 or so. Not sure.

Modified:

Couldn't find it, I remember sharing the screenshot on my status then. You don't have to believe me though but I see no reason why I'd lie about a temperature.

Also, the week I spent time recording those, the highest I saw was 8 degrees. People have recorded lower.
Where is that...
I sure say your thermometer dey function...

Abeokuta drops to 24 degrees during the rainy season in the day and lowers to 22-23 degrees at night. It is much colder during the rainy season than during the harmattan,

Bloggers are indeed going hungry this day. Who in their right mind would believe Kano and Sokoto of all places will be cold. These are hot areas. Jos yes, Taraba yes, definitely not kano katsina or the worse Sokoto.

Some people are quoting me talking about kano harmattan cold. Is other regions harmattan hot?

Seeing nairalanders comments about Jos, then I can say that the cold I witnessed in Kaduna is nothing compared to Jos.
For the first time in my life, I saw harmattan shaking our gate as if it was going to pull it down.

BTW: Kose is akara and not beans as written by the OP.

Nigeria has no cold state. 15C na moin moin.


Even UK is not cold, even in its winter. -5C na moin moin.


America not so cold but they think so.


Only quote if you've experienced -20C before. That is when you're now talking. Cold that makes blood run from ur nose. Cold that gives you frostbites even when wearing gloves. Cold that layers snow on ice on walkways.

Thats Canada. wink

I was wondering why Taraba wasn't listed there. The weather today is cooler than that of London. Just checked accuweather.com. Simply type in Gembu in the search bar and next check London
