The local approach to global publicity.... more than just a website.[Josaddress.com]

Jos city and most parts of Plateau State is purely irresistible even if you are coming from Europe or America (not that I have been to Europe or America before). Taking a road trip to Plateau State and especially Jos from any part of Nigeria is what I recommend to you to really experience the difference in temperature compared to where ever you might be coming from in Nigeria. Driving into Jos from any part of the country is always a wonderful experience. Apart from the evidently beautiful rocky scenery and terrain, the entrance to Jos is always characterized by a drive up hill and the feel of a sweet change in temperature. The unique weather of the state also drives me to talk about the next thing I love about this place and that is the assorted vegetables being cultivated locally.

Before I go further into talking about vegetables, I’d like to point out the fact that I am not a vegetarian (even though I wish I were one). I like grilled beef, chicken, and fresh water fish and I also get them in abundance here. Amidst the variety of tasty Nigerian, and Western cuisine easily accessible in Jos, nothing makes my mouth water like the sight of salad stuffed with so many vegetables with a whole bottle of cream all at my passionate disposal. You need to visit the popular Building materials and vegetable market located between Bukuru and Jos on any Tuesday or Wednesday to really see for your self. I am sure you will see assorted vegetables, a lot of them you have never seen or heard about before. They are being brought to the market by local farmers from remote villages in Plateau State, all for sale in the market. Other popular vegetable markets are the Farin-gada tomato market and the Gangare Irish potato market. These are the names of some of the tasty vegetables and fruits found in the Jos-Plateau, all of which are cultivated for local consumption and export to other parts of Nigeria and West Africa. They are; Radish, Celery, Irish potatoes, Parsley, Zobo, Cucumber, Spring onion (Green onions), Sweet Melon, Broad beans, Kidney beans, Runner beans, Bean sprout, Bet fruit, Strawberry, Turnips, Artichoke, Apples, Green Beans, Aubergine (Egg plant) Scent Leaves (Curry), Green and Red pepper, Carrots, Apricots, Lettuce, Cabbage, Green Peas, Tomatoes, Cranberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Onions, Moringa (Zogale) leaves, Chinese cabbage, White and green marrow, Water melon, and Leek.

Plateau State is my home. There is no place on earth that can compare or replace this home in my heart. No mater where I go, I will always long to come back to the place of serene weather and assorted vegetables to enjoy among other activities and things. I take an evening stroll down the quiet, peaceful and serene neighborhoods of Naraguta Avenue, Plateau Club, Apollo Crescent, Plateau Hotel, Ray filed, Wase Road, Liberty Boulevard, etc and also make a stop to eat grilled chicken, beef and fresh water fish; knowing that the mouth watery vegetables in salads is never far from my reach. There is truly no place like home, no place like Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.
