Sobre esta Tip
Two northern drinks are easy to find in Jos. Kunu is a lightly sour millet drink, a good match for a chilly harmattan morning. Fura da nono mixes mashed millet balls with fermented milk and is served cold, so save it for midday. Look for busy stalls around the Terminus market area, where street food vendors gather, and ask for a taste before you order a full cup.
