morzook: @henrimoto where abeg?

henrimoto: pls. Godson2013133 when did dey change d capital of republic of benin ?

Godson201333:

Port Novo was former capital but now its cotonou,Port Novo is egun language is called Ogbonu,Very nice city with serene enviroment.Of course good apartments.

Cotonou its self can be distractive and accommodations are a lil bit expensive unless ya wanna stay in the zongo(Ghetto)

zhukafa: Thanks

Naija_lastborn: Do you think 20000 naira can sustain me and my friend for 2 days in Rep. of Benin, can my Mtn Bis also work over there? Is their food n water at good standard and pls share more light to some tourism attraction we can visit during the 2 days.


Thanks

zhukafa:

20,000 naira is approximately 630,000 cefa. Wow, that's huge money to take you and your friend for even one week. Depending on the style you want to live over there.

sisifunmi: Oga, 20,000 Naira is 60,000 CFA or at most 63,000 . As at Sunday 14th day of July it was 60kCFA and not 630,000CFA

Godson201333:

@You might be able to get accommodation for 7,000CFA or below per month in Port novo,One thing about french people is that they prefer you paying them monthly,even Senegal or any francophone country.

Godson201333:

@zhukafa Please re-read the guy said 2 days...

what do you mean by 20,000 naira = 630,000cfa,you quoting wrong figure oo

Yes you can manage it but it depends on the kinda of lifestyle ya wanna live out there cos that money might also be too small,see my conversion and bead down.

1000 cfa = 320 naira.

10,000 cfa=3200 naira

63,000 cfa = 20,000 naira.


Hotel cheapest can be found in nice area like john k..

5,000 cfa = 1 night(tv ,fan inclusive)

Feeding =2000 cfa morning,afternoon and night making 6000 cfa cos ya gonna be craving for 9ja foods and they are quite expensive there.Their local foods is cheaper but im afraid you can eat.The cheapest is bread 200 CFA.


transportation cheap.

Visit Quidah,An ancient slave trade town.
Visit Plague (Beach very lovely)
Visit Port NOVO (former capital AND ANCIENT CITY)
Visit seaport.
Aeroport (Airport) Very close to the beach.
Dantokpa and misebo Marche (Market)


But to be sincere 20k wont be enough...

but by the time una wan start shopping my bro that money is gonna finish quick but you can manage it with your friend for weekend.



thanks bro... actuall we are going for 3 days, i think 35000 should cover for a expenses for 3 days

Godson201333:

Yeah 35000 is Okay,Just be on budget,Use my exchange rate at least so that you wont be at loss and be smart..Enjoy
