“Lagos fried my brain, Jos feels like a different country” — says the man about the five-day experience

AND man shared an emotional story of his first few days in Jos, describing the city as a place of rare kindness, quiet life and unexpected affordability compared to Lagos.

He explained that the experience was unfamiliar to him after years of living in Lagos.

Warm reception and everyday kindness

He pointed out that almost everyone he encountered was polite to him, regardless of their role.

From food sellers and waiters in supermarkets to workers in restaurants, he said the level the respect shown to customers was impressive.

The passenger compared this to his experience in Lagos, where he claimed to have become accustomed to rude service and even associated it with quality.

He added that the general atmosphere made him feel safe and relaxed, including being comfortable using the phone openly without fear.

Lower cost of living and a more peaceful environment
