Business and pleasure are two different things.Don't combine business with pleasure or you may not go far.I believe you are matured.Define for yourself what you are going to cotounu for.if it is pleasure face it and if it is business my dear face it and forget pleasure.Take care. |

fuckerholic: # For tips on how to cross the boarder, read through the thread. # Have a little identity card with you to show that you are a Nigerian. eg. National id card. # They see Nigerians as rich people. # Life is good over there, only if you have money. if you don't have money, very difficult to survive. # There girls are exactly your spec of girls, na you go run. Just try visit , "John k" for night and you will be satisfied. # There girls regard Nigerians as rich people ready to spend cash. # There girls are okay. it depends on what you mean by greedy. # The language thing is a big problem here, some bikes and people hear english, but you might be duped if they see that you dont hear or understand little french. # Feeding is quite cheap, but Nigerian meals are on the average or above average. # Transport is quite cheaper compared to Nigeria. I hope i have exhausted you questions. 1 Like |

zhukafa:Thanks a lot bro But can I go with voters card or ordinary identity card ? I don't fancy hotel girls like you talked about John k I see them as prostitue which I detest,I only mean like their normal street and student girls that one can toast and befriend while he is there |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 10:29am On Mar 05, 2015 |
fuckerholic: if you have no National Id card, you can still go with your voters card as it stands to identify you as a Nigerian. there are also normal street girls, but how do you then know that she dont sneak out at night for runs. remember that its a french country and they love parties and life. 1 Like |

zhukafa: Hello bro, I just came across this post as I was actually intending to create a thread about the same topic. I noticed the thread is actually old and I have some questions about Cotonou that I'd really appreciate if you can help out. I am thinking of going to Cotonou to stay for 3 months with my wife just to change environment. I stayed in Cotonou in the past but I'm interested to know how things are now. 1) How much is rent per month? I remember that one can pay rent monthly as opposed to the 2years that is enforced on us here in Nigeria 2) What is the current exchange rate? 3) Are their data plans cheap and reliable? 4) What Nigerian banks are available ther? I run accounts with GTbank and Diamond bank and it will be nice to have access to money from over there. 5) If you stay there, I wouldn't mind keeping in touch till I'm ready Sorry for the epistle, your answers will be most appreciated. Thank you |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 11:23pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
hahn: 1) yes , you can rent monthly. but you also pay caution fee. 2) Current exchange rate 354. you should know that its not stable. 3) their data is okay. 4) Eco bank is the best , since its PAN african bank. 5) i dont stay there, i only go there for business. |
