So, I have been in Jos for the past two days, and I am immediately reminded why this land was such an experience the last time.
So, I took a Bolt here in Jos, and it was N3,500.
The distance was like heaven. But it was just N3,500.
Then, it’s almost as though the government has told the keke guys not to charge above N500.
You can take a keke across the Atlantic in Jos, and it would be N500.
Then, the hotel where I am lodged. I am not even ashamed to say I am paying N15k per night.
But the room is big, the water is heated, and I have free Wi-Fi powered by Starlink. It is heavenly.
That’s not the highlight.
It is the courtesy of the service. Everyone calls me “sir.”
For breakfast, the lady was preparing my tea and bread.
I got uncomfortable because such courtesy is alien to me as someone from Lagos.
Like I have said before, I know good street food by how rude the woman is.
The other day at Ikeja Under Bridge, I bought rice from this woman.
The setup looked great. But when I engaged her and she was very warm and respectful, my heart sank.
I knew the food would not be good.
I was right.
But here in Jos? I feel human warmth.
Guys, God has to do something for us in Lagos.
You would hardly feel any human collective joy and community here.
The atmosphere is hard, tense, fast, and strained.
You won’t find that here in Jos. It is indeed peaceful.
Oh, people are respectful here. So, so respectful.
Finally, there’s a guy who sells suya around Lamingo Road.
Honestly, I think God called that guy to the ministry of suya.
I don’t think you can make suya like that if God is not with you.
No. That has to be a gift from above.
The meat listens to him.
They are so soft you feel like heaven makes contact with your teeth and tongue.
I shall go draw from his ministry tomorrow night. I must eat it before I leave.
Lastly, lastly, the Chinese rice here costs just N5,000.
My God, it does taste like China’s beautiful skyscrapers.
I shall draw from that ministry tomorrow too.
So, that’s been my experience so far in Jos.
It has been a delight.
The first sign of COLON CANCER shows up in your TOILET, not in your blood report. And most ignore it as piles for 6 months.
Here are 5 SIGNS I never ignore:
