Cost of feeding and accommodation varies by individual. where are you coming from, so that i can give a concise cost if am to be the one to make the trip.

OK, I'm coming from Lagos, want to come by road, have a Nigerian passport and I would like an affordable hotel, not too cheap, but reasonable and quality for a weekend. Thanks.

Breakdown

Transportation from mile2 to seme = Bus is #300, taxi is #600
Since you are new, crossing the boarder = #1000
from across the boarder to cotonue = 1000 cefa ( which is #335 , note, cefa varies)
Hotel accomodation = 10,000 cefa ( #3350 ) * 2 nights =#7700
feeding = according to your budget.

Hope it helps

its either international passport or national id. international passport most preferably. But since i started travelling to cotonue, i don't use any. so for those that do stamp there passport at the boarder, would educate you more. For me, i enter without any. read my earlier post, i wrote on how to cross the boarder easily without stress.

you didnt tell me where you are coming from, and secondly 20k naira can take you if you cut down your expenses (flexing). Thirdly, the main issue is crossing the boarder thats it.
