As for me, I don't really believe that life is all about making money. I believe is all about happiness. that's why people from a more organized nations has a better average life expectancy than we from this part of the earth called Nigeria.
the average life expectancy of a Canadian is 85yrs, while the average life expectancy of a Nigerian is 45yrs.
Do you know why? because they're more happier and have more of a better living environment than we.
My greener pasture is my health and happiness... that's why I'm leaving this country to Abidjan.

25000cfa to 35000cfa per day? Hmmmm c'est pas vrai..es que je peux trouver une travail comme ça shocked
good4all40:
I doubt if anyone will be bored in Abidjan if not for Language or lack of money to maximize the enjoyment of the Country. For those that can teach, you will surely get teaching jobs in Abidjan there are more than 50 Nigerian schools scattered all over Abidjan alone, though many of these schools don't have great structures but you should be less concerned about that as long as your cash is rolling in. Most schools l know in Abidjan pay their teachers per day like 2500CFA to 3500CFA per day depending on the school, though the teacher can bargain with the school management to be the getting his or her money at the end of the month most schools if not all will agree to that.


As for the language barrier, be patient you will understand their local French very quickly Abidjan remains one of the the French cities in Africa to Quickly learn local French because virtually everyone in that country speaks French even people as old as 90 and people living in their villages Speak good French too.


As for their women please be careful otherwise l doubt if you will return to Nigeria with N5,000 their women are exceedingly stunning you may not realize what you are into until you get to Ivorian/Ghanaian boarder in NOE and ELUBO respectively and OYO is your name. Try to visit their Zoo they have lots of Animals the last time l visited with my Friend, and also see their beaches and the first Ivorian capital BASSAM you will love you did. If you visit their beach on Weekends you may want to decide to be living near the beach lol. Please stay away from their women except your intention is to marry one of them lol Abidjan has a nice weather all year round.

I call Abidjan the food basket city of West Africa, food is in Abundance here you will love it here, this city can make you become a glutton if care is not taken just eat moderately and save decently. Their Electricity sometimes you will ask yourself are you still in West Africa or Europe?? because many times you can have electricity for three months at stretch without blinking. You will hate Nigeria more if you live in this city for just few days especially if you have little cash.

I know many Nigerians in Abidjan that have spent 30 years or more in the city most of them have not even attempted to visit their home country, don't blame them because about 40% or more now have ivorian passports.


You will continue to ask yourself what has Nigeria achieved as a country since 1960 of her independence. I always want to slap anyone to calls Nigeria giant of Africa, Nigeria is not even ant of Africa a country with no light, no water from the government, no good roads these shortcomings from our government always increase depression and devastation for my country men. l have never heard any news that an ivorian commit suicide in Abidjan atleast their government provide light, water and good roads for everyone and there is a very little gap between the rich and the poor in the country. The Last time l visited Bamako the Capital city of Mali despite the country being poor there were constant light, water and good roads.


You will never know what we are taking for granted in Nigeria except you leave the country. You can ask any Question about Abidjan or about the country as a whole because l visited their political capital(YAMSOKRO) and few other towns and villages last time l visited.

Coincidentally, I am into this business. Still expecting my first order this week. I can't really answer your question now because this language barrier is treating me too bad. I am still thinking of how I will make sales but there is God sha.
But honestly, most products that people make use of here are imported. I wish to get an English conne, and this storm will be over. I searched all I could in the market today for English - French book but couldn't see. All I was seeing were French - English. Whoever knows where I can get a good book that teaches French very well should help me.

I feel your pains Bro. @ Roughdiamond , I've been learning French in advance now for a few days. I must confess it has been very very helpful. expecting to know at least 10% of the daily used words before my arrival next month.

U obviously have been cheated. I was in Cotonou just last weekend, n I exchanged #1000= CFA 1,550. I also changed Naira inside d city and even at the popular Misebo market at that rate.
