My experience is that naira is not smiling at the moment. I paid through my nose for my apartment because of poor value of naira. Like ugosample earlier said "come prepared" if you must come. Hotel is expensive, renting an apartment in some areas is. Heard some areas are cheap though.

@ugosample

I withdrew 50k cefa using my stanbic ATM here, I was charged 45500 naira. It is horrible.

Stanbic used to have the best rate judging by what I see online.

But they have started charging the highest since last week. Beware

Comment ça va Mon frère.

oh my God thats the best Idea of the year. You would be in Money that you yourself would be tired of. but then you will need a capital to start. The bead is highly selling at Abidjan. My Sister is selling bead there too. we are ivoirians. i can connect you with couple of peeps too. But moneybto start is the main thing. You will have to buy beads from Lagos the make is there as per the customers design and style. My sister sell beads minimum 11k cfa. check that.

so butbyou have to carry many beads and have connections in both countries so that your people can send more to you. cos its expensive in Abidjan and fashionista needs more. Remember Abidjan is a home of gashion in Africa.

I will be visiting soon too maybe by September by God's grace. I have a friend who lives at Adjame he is from Osun State you will be surprised that 70% of Nigerians living in Abidjan are from Osun State, ranging from Ejigbo the highest Nigerians so far to IWO, EDE, IRAGBERI, OGBOMOSO, OYO, ILORIN few EDO, DELTANS IGBOS and very few Hausas from Nigeria but they are countless Hausas from other countries like Niger, Ghana, Gambia etc. The last time I visited l met with our Ambassador Mrs. IFEOMA AKABOGU she is a very welcoming and friendly ambassador. With 250,000 Naira you are good to go Atleast for a starter if you are planning migration depending on the area you will stay and the kind of business you will love to venture in. You can pm me or the brother above pertaining to business and cost of accommodation of your preferred areas.

So finally...... It's was sunday 09/10, havinq booked ma ticket à day before, ah had to leave home early (3rd coach tins)
Because of the rain in laqos, 1st left around 9am, 2nd by 10am, while 3rd (ma coach) left by 3pm ......
It wasn't à small tin ooo, Infact ah even had to chanqe ma departure date for Monday, because it's was DAMN late, buh moi frère had to still ask me to chill, and since no one boardinq the 3rd coach (about 30) has left.

Ok ooo, so finally we left the park by 3pm, and qot to the niqeria into benin border by 6pm, spent like 20-35mins with the NDLEA, and less than 20mins at the border, (NB: we didnt cross on foot, we stayed back in the coach).

qot to the benin into toqo border by 9:45pm, and everywhere was dryyyyy , and YES... we came down and crossed on foot, aqain since it was sunday and late, ah quess that was why it went effortless, unlike other days, and we spent less than 35mins there.

@ugosample, ah know u qonna ask for exchanqe raté, buh the truth is, those aboki were no where to be found , like seriously......, the only people at the border was the women sellinq foods and drink, etc.

Honestly ah was surprise to see the border as dry as the way it was....., buh ah never knew we were inn for another shocker......

We were still in toqo till around 10:30pm, and it was obvious that we won't be able to cross to the qhana side ,
So we had to stop at a 'more' safe place, and spent the niqht there., well the niqht was crazy and also fun.

So we had to leave our location around 5:30am dis morninq, in other to be amonq the first set that will cross, and also beat the traffic rush, and about 1km away from the toqo into qhana border, u will think u are drivinq into à DANGOTE cément plant.... Wow, no be small tin ooo.

So before crossinq, the exchanqe quys were seeinq around, (NB: we still in the toqo side) and surprisly, the quys refuse to accept Naira , no be small tin ooo, as if they all planned it, no one was acceptinq to chanqe anythinq (CFA/Cedis) for naira, some even bouqht sims for 600h lolz.

Buh on qettinq to the qhana border, where u will have to come down with ur luqqaqe, we met another set of exchanqe quys, and they chanqe for 8.6

Now the main joker is the raté @ugosample,
N1000 = 8cedis 60 penswu.
N10000 = 86 qhc.
That's the real fallinq hand.... N1000 for just 8qhc This chanqe is really really chanqinq everythinq, àh remember ma previous trip around, November, it's was N1000 = 20qhc, God have mercy.

Well, after sendinq like an hour 25mins there, we continued our journey, and finally we qot to the park (last bus-stop) by 1pm. Finally, à journey dat wasn't suppose to take dis lonq, just nose dive...
Well thank God for safe landinq.

So demain (mardi) àh will be headinq to TUDU to check for the STC bus qoinq to ivory coast. And hopefully je vais voyaqe au mercredi.

This was ma qhana trip expérience, expect the ivory coast own, hopefully it will be less stressful as dis.
The naira has really really lost it value, cedis is now far far better to naira.

AWKAABA.......
