Thanks so much. But concerning your budget, I will say, its low. let's just look at a little break down below.

Transport from Lagos (mile 2) to seme -#300×2= #600
Transport from across the border to cotonue town -- 1000cefa×2=2000 cefa × 335 =670 naira
Hotel accommodation per night --- 6000cefa ×4days = 24,000 cefa × 335 = 8,040 naira


From the above calculation, the cost of your transportation to and fro, including hotel bills sums up to 9,310 naira. So you can see that feeding and other fun activities wouldn't take place.

thanks

Please would it cost me anything to cross the border with my Ecowas passport?

Don't really know but there is a place a Liberian took me too where there is a lot of Nigerians maybe if you can get there they can answer your questions or even take you there, but I don't remember what the place is called.

Please who know of hotels that are cheap around Airport Road.. I used one along that side before but I don't remembered what the place is called all I could remembered is that there's a Catholic Church in that vicinity that is famous the church is called St. Michel.

Zhukafa and others come to aide.

Grateful, merry Xmas to u.
U said 15,000 cefa, for wat quantity of d oil, pls?
Also, I got stuff from tops but I believe I cud get a beta deal if I located d importers/wholesalers, I hope u get my drift.

Okay, since you are buying in large quantity, its should be cheaper than 15000 cefa. Maybe you might see for 14,000cefa. there is an importer that stays at that road beside tokpa market. just ask when you reach tokpa market, you will be directed. Merry Xmas to you too.

I do buy that 30 liters yellow rubber ( just one for 15,000cefa). What I meant is, when you reach tokpa market, just ask any body that deals on food stocks, he/ she might direct you properly.
