I've experienced Katsina's firsthand and it was not funny. Abuja is cold every night. During my service year I was shivering on some nights. I look forward to a Jos visit but their constant crisis is not giving me hope.

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


That's how we know you've never been anywhere outside Nigeria before...

Twats like you litter NL always thinking ure too intelligent. One thing you and your ilk should always know is that, not everyone is in your class and some people are privileged to have better opportunities than you, the same way it applies to mostly everyone.

And if you want proof, you can send a dm, give me your whatsapp no if u have any. I will reply you with proof you need immediately, today, and we part, so you learn to become a better person and learn to respect people's opinions and input.

I dont wanna appear like Im bragging but bro, believe me, you need to calm down. Dont hastily jump to conclusions. Have a good day.

Taaaaaaa, kano and Sokoto?
Na lie

Out of the 8 states listed above, I've spent my entire life in 6 of them (Jos, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Abuja, Katsina) and I can confirm that the OP is right. You've probably never being to any of those states that's why you called it a lie.

Only place I don't agree with the OP is where he placed Kano before Kaduna. Kaduna is colder than Kano.

To some extent, you are right. Kaduna is colder than Kano even.

Funtua is colder than Zaria.

Zaria is the coldest in the whole of Kaduna State. While Funtua is the coldest in the whole of Katsina state.
