Thank you sir for this direction, i will even save this your comment for future reference. I don't think money will be a problem since I have good reasons for it, i will even add Cameroun to the list, so my goal has changed to 6 countries. I guess 200-250k suppose to accomplish it, that won't be a problem by His grace.

It depends on how long you want to spend in each country tho.....
250k is a good start trust me...
And by God's grace when Naira appreciate, !that 250k will have more value.

Please, do you have an idea of the market to get dried fish in Cotonou (Bulk purchase). It is to be used for fishmeal

Cfa 12,600. the Naira/Cfa is 790. Divide N10,000. by 790!
