Do u mean 100k monthly or 100k for 6months?
back to ur question.
cost of an apartment varies from d area u can get a room selfcontain withing range of 20k-30kcfa, mini flat with 50k-55kcfa and a single room around 9k cfa. internet is little bit expensive compare to naija. but ur airtel sim will work on roaming but more expensive. as for security mind ur own business and u are safe.

as at today 250$- 146250fca

as for apartment some agent accept 6month and above + 2 or 3 months caution fee.
my 2 cent.

You don't need to know anyone. Just get to the border and pick a bike to cross you to the other side (they charged #500 the last time I went). Once you are in, nobody will disturb you.

If you are looking for an easier way to transport your weekly shopping groceries you may like to consider buying a shopping trolley bag with wheels. There are many benefits shopping trolleys and they are no longer seen as items that are made solely for senior citizens.

Any Aboki place where they change money is fine
