First, why does everyone think the entire Plateau State is Jos? Plateau is almost 9 times the size of Lagos. Its about the same same distance from Jos to Abuja as it is to my humble abode. Anyone travelling from Ibadan to Lagos and turned back to pick something halfway will probably arrive Lagos the same time as I'm dropping my bag. Provided its not on a first Friday.
I might be responsible to a large extent. I simply tell everyone I'm going to Jos. That saves me a lot of explanation. Its really hard to explain, pronounce and spell a name like Garkawa knowing fully well you'll ask "hows jos?" again in our next conversation. But when it comes to weather issues, I try to be explicit in my description. When it comes to weather, they are two worlds apart.
First few days into year was similar, cold. Even with that, Jos was extreme. I learnt Jos experienced a temperature of 9 degrees. The least we had would be 16 or a little less. I'm not sure anyone here remember what a thermometer is. Right now, I'm almost sleeping in my birthday suit while my people in jos are shutting windows and wearing sweaters. It isn't as cold but is still cold. Interestingly, there places cooler than Jos and places hotter than Mikang. Isn't God great?
I'm loving my hairstyle. I can't imagine what it would feel like if I had "the Rock shave." The sun would have made a hole in my head. I'm seriouslly considering facecaps and goggles. This is more about need than fashion.
This weather is helping me plan well. No one in his right senses wants to go in twice. Plan the whole day, take off and then retire till the sun sets.
It would be great if we had thermopiles up here. This heat is wasting.
