Tanks for the input....funny enough I didn't even step into any cinema while I was there....yes I visited places like Marcory, koumassi, adjame,trechville and I stayed in an hotel in yopougon through my stay.

I walked around a lot and I must say its so much fun,beautiful, friendly and very very lively especially in yopougon as there is always something to keep you fun filled in the region.

I had to come back to Accra last night due to some unexpected business matters.

Now you are talking!
I am happy
....like we say, welcome
Happy you had fun
That yougoupon sounds like youngpeoples' land...apt name....
Cheers

Hi fellow Nairalanders,pls can someone help me out. I have a savings of 1.m and wished to leave Nigeria for another African country to start up a business. but does not know any place to go that would be favourable. Pls I will be grateful if someone can help me out. Pls no advice is a waste.
it is not restricted to only African countries

It would soon be time for my summer tour, and I am so excited.....
Because there is this excitement I get each time I am in that city.... Can't really explain it

i like this thread...

i visited that country about 2 months ago and i must tell you... that country sweet die...

they girls na die ( with both back and front weapon ) that will make any man think twice...

they girls are very very easily to mingle and the rest if you understand what i mean... unlike this our naija girls that are stingy with their toto and always forming big for nothing...

the type of girls i dated there within my short stay there... im 100% sure if it was in Nigeria i must show them my car or my father is either a senator or governor.. infact president

i have been to the happening places there in that city and i must tell you... you will enjoy it as a young man...

but if you are married...abeg wife no let your husband go there alone or else.. you know the rest

You need not marry a woman to get documentation

I actually stayed in Yopougon 3 weeks ago but i visited Koumassi where some igbo people stay and i made some enquiries...a single room self contain my friend stays is 40k cfa (about 25k naira) a month but it has no kitchen(just the room,toilet/bath)........the ones with kitchen cost 50k-70k cfa a month and due to the naira crash, that is about 30k naira or so a month.

@shysteve

Pls could u pps help get in touch with those ur guys to help make inquiry about monthly rent of a room and parlour or a room self contained with a decent price and area abeg. Make person no go crash for here oooo... Lol

U mean they don't have affordable houses less than 15j naira per month over there in Abidjan.

Its quite expensive to survive

Harzontorh:


The Officiak Exchange rate is currently 2.08
So 46,000 Nigeria Naira = 96,027 CFA Franc.

before it used to be @ d exchange rate of 3.1 now naira has fallen.

So, having almost a 100,00 cfa in a city like abidjan to spend with a family on monthly basis might be quite challenging, depending on your lifestyle. If you are living in a rich neighborhood like (cocody, 2 plateau, Marcory zone 4), then i can tell you half of that money would go for acomodation. but if its a middle-class area or average standard, like (yopougon, treichville, angré, koumassi ) then you will enjoy and even have more saves. so the trick is to get less accommodation budget plan. And cruise the city and start a cool fresh french life. Abidjan is the capital of Hospitality in Africa so you will never lack.

spot on but angre is not a middle class area.

oyek691:
@ayabahiper. I think your business will survive very well over here if you locate your shop to places like adjame( this is where i am living). And i will like it if you do your business on a very large scale, because they like big shops over here. God help you

where in adjame? Like to meet a fellow nairalander.I stay in St Michel temidire adjame

Pls house does any one have an idea where i can bus going to ivory coast from lagos and how much it cost plus how many days it will take by road cos am cutting cost been d first time.

Thanks

bully orelope transport leaves ejigbo to abidjan every Sundays so you can as well book through their booking office in ejigbo and you are picked at sango ota since they ply idi-iroko not seme and ticket fee isn't has high as that.08077586461for booking tickets.it's leaves on Sunday but get there on Tuesday due to the fact that abidjan is usually closed 10pm everyday.

Bro.....we got to the bus station in Abidjan around 6:30pm and I took a taxi to youpogon,mehn it took me almost an hour to get there from the bus station in trechville and I finally got a very nice hotel for 12k cefa per night.....Abidjan is a real beauty but the only problem is the language issue....it's so terrible that you will hardly come across someone that understands it....tank God for the lady that helped me talk to a taxi man but even after that I faced hell when I got to the hotel....at a point they had to go and look for someone who understood lil English before I was able to get a room.....I bought some spicy meat for 2kcfa and big bottle water for 500 cefa outside the hotel.......I doubt if I can stay for the budgeted 2 weeks dos of this language issue....meat seller, water seller, hotelier etc no understand nada for English but all in all.. It's a beautiful with some lovely,attractive buildings.....what about the very long beach....will give account tomorrow when I setup my laptop.

get a Google translator on your phone and it will assist you a bit.that what I do here if I don't go out and it's been fine.
