@nairacountry, you really get mind. You mean u went through those stress with your kids and wife ? You were very lucky your bags weren't snatch by those tout at seme boarders. And with all the boarder to boarder transport you took u have even spend beyond what abc will collect from you. Am imagining those bus u took at tudu aren't even AC buses neither do they serve you any food in the bus, mean while ABC ticket is breakfast and lunch inclusive. Next time just go through ABC transport you will be glad u did.
Although ABC doesn't run faster but u won't have feeling cos there are movies and comedy to keep u laughing, and lucky you if u have to sit with someone that compliment you, then you will both laugh on each other shoulder till u get to your destination. Honestly I enjoy my trip to and fro Accra Ghana.

You are right on the stress issue, it didn't worth it at long run. It was my wife's idea so I never had strong complaint from her end. My kids were busy eating this & that all through.
As for the touts, even "the rock" wouldn't have been able to run with our luggage it was massive. Besides it was in d car booth all through, we only trekked crossing d border while driver bribed d customs them and drive through.
In all, it was fun filled

Pinshure?

... Ok u av added pishure. But I can only see a bus. Is Ghana inside d luxurious bus?

my traveling to ghana by road was nt stressful bt d problem is am at tudu and i cant even get a good food to eat..just confused no good food for two days now..need help jst stranded

[quote author=Otunba4eva post=41138859]

There are various immigration check point on the way. But the only place you come down is at Aflao boarder, that is the last boarder to enter Ghana and u bring down your luggage for inspection before proceeding on your journey to Accra. As u can see in the pics below [/quote




You will also be asked to come down from bus when you get to Togo boarder, you will be asked to cross the boarder with you leg and ur ticket in your hand. ]

Sorry about that, you can get a good food at circle, ask for Odo rice or EDĒ RIČĒ ( I don't know if I got the spelling right) and you can also get other type of Nigerian delicacy right in circle.

[quote author=ahmedonia4real post=41906219][/quote]

Yes, u are very right u will come down with your ticket to cross the Togo boader.

Did u mean u didn't have international passport? Your Student ID card is ok, but you will have to pay more for travel fare. And with just ID card you not permitted to travel by air only by road.

It's either you change on the way to Accra or u change your naira to cedis at tudu in Accra. It's very easy they will tell u the current exchange rate there. Ok?

OP

I'm puzzled by your travel time......... From 9.25am to 12am the next day?. That's some 15hours on the road.

That must have taken the shine off the pleasure of travelling by road for a trip of just 40mins by air. ...

I returned from Ghana to Nigeria once and we arrived Mile2 by 8pm having left Ghana 7am which l still found stressful considering that the distance is less than 350km. Should ordinarily take less than five hours if not for those overzealous immigration pests.

A lot needs to be done by ECOWAS leaders to boost regional cohesion and trade....

Ok, cool. But there is a duty u pay on that car to enter Ghana, then pls visit the road safety office to know the required docs to have driving in international routes. But I will advice u go first by road alone to understand the route before going with your car.

Can someone give me a clue as to where to change Naira to Cedi when travelling by road to Ghana. I'd also like to know the exchange rate from Naira to cedis. Thanks

Please I would like to board ABC transport to Ghana,and I have only my Voters card.
My questions are
1) can I make the trip with only my voters card

2)Won't the immigration officers asked for my passport even if Abc transport allows me to board with only my voters card?

On the contrary, don't believe the internet.
As at May, the rates were past 50 already, and right now, we are talking of more than 100 naira to a cedi.The Nigeeism currency is on a downward spiral.

Yes you can, the difference is that u will be paying more at the departure. Yes you will pay more money for the transport fare.
