I am planning to migrate to Benin Republic next year. I am on a monthly pension of 46k per month. Can I survive on this money in terms of feeding and accommodation? How much will a descent accommodation cost me and how long will it take me to find one? I am migrating there to live and see if there is any business I can start up as time goes on having tried out here in Nigeria without success. Thanks

I hope you speak french fluently & you understand Egun. Since you are not moving now, you can take time to go do a little survey yourself.

I don't speak french but I hope to cope up when I get there.

Depend on the town u are going, If you are a Yoruba speaking person and not fluent in French still cool. 7 out of 10 Beninoise speak and understand Yoruba i mean the traditional Oyo ascent.

Like much will a descent accommodation cost me in Cotonou? How do they pay for rent there? Do they pay monthly or yearly whe you are renting a new apartment?

In Cotonou, the rent is paid monthly. You can try Ekpe, it is off PK10, ie coming fron Seme border and and just after the Toll Gate. It is close to many Universities eg Houndegbe North American University, King Amachree African University etc. This area is booming with activities. I am quite certain you will be able to sort yourself out in this vicinity and most of the students speak English, Majority of them are Nigerians and other African Countries.

Good luck.
