[@olufemiosanife3261]

Thanks for the video, really appreciate it. I met my wife on the plateau (Pankshin), NYSC camp in 1986. We both served in Jos, and had great times. I served with the Nigerian Army, 3 Armoured Division, Rayfield (Legal Dept). WOW! your video brought pleasant memories.

[@oliviaobi1697]

I was also at that camp in 1986.. great memories...it was very cold.

[@oliviaobi1697]

I served with Public Complaints Commission, Federal Secretariat Complex.

[@comforttemilara9828]

Pankshin is one of the coldest, we left three years ago. What a lovely place to live in.

[@aremufataigbedesre245]

I have been to this Place during my NYSC..

I served in Jos in 2019/2020. Jos is a city made beautiful by nature.

The Rayfield Golf Course built in 1913 is one of the oldest if not the oldest Golf Course in Nigeria...

[@davetv4705]

Wow, thanks for featuring my state. At least this will eliminate some misconceptions that the Southerners have about us. Most Southerners mistake all of us for Hausas or Muslims - No disrespect to Hausas or Muslims - but we have our own languages and cultures and 97% of us are Christians. Hausa was adopted as a common language due to language diversity. Plateau State has the highest number of tribes in Nigeria.

[@UTIBE5]

Plateau doesn't have the most tribes in Nigeria

[@kbboy101]

I am not sure where you got those statistics from but definitely not 97% are Christians in Jos or even across Plateau state. I think it is around 60-40 divide, with an error margin of 5 percent.

Is people like u that make me call and insult u people, just bkos of Jos u are now saying Nigeria is truly Giant of Africa, what is the best thing Nigeria can do best in African, the worst country and is the reason why most of other countries in Africa as been going down bkos they give useless people chance to come and steal from us and u call a country that can't behave is they call it, Giant but can't carry Africa along instead they scatter Africa

[@ellenclerk5874]

What having a large country a population of crooks doesn't make you a giant. Giants come in different form but none of the qualities previously mentioned so shut up. The world is tired of your vain talk and your loud mouth and empty head. Use whatever left in you to repair that country of yours. No animal can destroy the elephant but guess the ant can I hope you from this. Peace .

[@adepojufrancis3357]

Yes people in and around Plateau state bear names similar to Chinese names and look fairly similar, except in color. Thank you David for showing the rest of the world the real Nigeria; how big, vast, diverse it is. This is why it's so very annoying to me when this one small country around Nigeria begins to compare itself with Nigeria. Even if Nigeria is only Lagos and Abuja as the often presume, they are still nowhere close to be compared with Nigeria. Keep it up brother.

[@ellenclerk5874]

There you go again with nonsense talk, no matter how small the place is, whether the size of Abuja or Lagos they are paving the way and known all over the world as the way opener. Eat your filthy heart out. I am waiting to a speech given by your first president. I need a large tablet as big as your country to correct his grammar. In this case I will let a preschool kid from the country you hate so much do the honors

[@joewlaschin6970]

[@davetv4705]

Yeah, we have beautiful places in Plateau State.

[@paulitodo2855]

If not that you mentioned "city", I would have argued it that Jos is not the coldest. The coldest location is the Mambilla plateaus (Gembu).

[@kbboy101]

I have fond memories of this place from the 80s and 90s. The Jos main market was the biggest covered market in West Africa. I see some parts of the city have deteriorated. Ahmadu Bello Way used to be quite good and full of big stores. It looks crowded and dusty now. The area from CBN all the way to Nasco looked like some place in Europe for its cleanliness, greenery, and design. I do not see that in videos now.

[@FullSpiritProduction]

I left Jos some hours ago after spending just four days there in a long while. I was actually born and bred in Jos and I am so proud to be part of that town. This documentary lives me with a lot memories.

[@doofenshmitz8174]

⁠​⁠@@PolicebodycamdailyI can imagine. As someone who served in Jos in 2021/22 and stayed back after, I’d say it is a great town. Just as the other person said, things are cheaper there. Food, transportation, housing. Even with the current state of things in Nigeria, it’s still a lot better than other places. The people are also generally warm and friendly in my opinion and to top it all off, the weather is awesomeeee lol.

I was opportune to stay in Jos for few years and what I have to say about plateau state entirely is nothing short of an amazing experience, the weather is always cold, the people are lovely and welcoming, the features around the state is eye catching, the rocks, the culture and so many beautiful things made it one of my favorite state in the country , Nigeria is indeed blessed. The Government need get things right to make this beautiful country one of the best in the world because everything needed to make life meaningful is just right here in Nigeria.

You are doing a great job. Plateau State has a huge potential Tourism Industry that could fetch Billions of naira but the insecurity in the state is messing up things. Thanks for making me remember where I served in 2007. May your work grow wide!

[@kbboy101]

The tourism potential is there but isn't developed at all. The state needs to invest using public-private partnerships.

Great job. My first time seeing Jos and you did a very excellent job showing us around. Next time when I visit Nigeria, I will surely visit Jos. Kudos.

Peace family! Very interesting video indeed! Intersecting the etymology with the names. I've been researching the link between Africa, China &Japan, and have found pictures of Black chinese and Japanese people from the early 1900's... i think the truth of Our story is far better than His story. Thanks again!❤️🖤💚

[@DavidNkwa]

Interesting

[@kayzz1614]

The Ancient Chinese Empires were founded by Black People who were the occupants of the Asia region before the massive migration to the Americas through the Bering Strait. There are still Black People today in China who are remnant descendants. They constructed the Pyramids and Stone Monuments of Ancient China.

[@alvanalvino]

Also shows you that Nigerians are the largest bunch of the oldest people in Africa besides the sans of which those of us from ancient kemet share genes with ass we have intermarried into their clans for over 50,000 years at least. We also have the DNA data to back up our claims is Nigerians. All over 500 district groups of people with their unique catfishes and cultures that make up Nigeria. As diverse as ancient Kemet was in the age of the gods over 100,000 years ago.

It is colder than Jos and sometimes than Ôbudu Cattle ranch ( Cross River State)! These two places are colder than Jos! To me, as Taraba hosted 2003 and 2004 World Tourism day, it over merits to be picked for such as it has lots of beautiful places of tourist attractions!
