Maybe that's the reason people who go to rice assume all of houston is bad.
I guess one can't always rely on homogeneous sources.

Abidjan isn't the best city in West Africa it was the best city in the whole of Africa in the 70s butta  corruption and lack od developments have stunted it's growth. I reckon the best city in West Africa is Dakar followed by Abuja and then Accra. Abuja is technically better than Dakar but the city aint complete yet all those pics of Abidjan are old pics long before the war.

Don´t go to Abidjan it is a ruined city!!!

Don´t start with Lagos if you are a fist-time traveller to Nigeria

Go to Dakar, Cape Town, Accra, Abuja, Maputo, Windhoek (Namibia), Libreville (Gabon) etc.

Abidjan, before the war was regarded as the "Paris of West Africa". The city is considered the most beautiful in W. Africa.

Another city worth looking into is Dakar, Senegal.

Has anybody ever visited Conakry?

Conakry, are you kidding?  A stupid dictator has ruined the country, no running water , no food and no electricity for weeks on end! Please not Conakry Tongue

Abidjan ws by far the best city in Africa  to live in the the 70´s and 80´s but it already faded in the 90´s and crashed after the military coup in 1999 (first in its history) ! Côte d´ivoire is a sad example of a once beautiful and proud african country. Cry

Ever since I read "The African Child", I have always wanted to visit Conakry. Dakar is another spot that I would like to visit. Accra/Ghana is experiencing a renaissance, thanks to tourism and their recently concluded golden anniversary. To be honest, I don't think that I can comfortably live in any other part of Africa, apart from Nigeria.

My husband and I are becoming increasingly concerned with the economic and geopolitical standing of the United States, and for a while have been considering "repatriating" if you can call it that after so many hundreds of years. We have been researching for the last several years where in West Africa would be a good place to raise a family. The best information though, most always comes from the source. With that said, please tell me if you were raising three young children and were skilled in the field of Information Technology (10 years experience), where in West Africa would you move? Thanks in advance.

@mamagirl
Repatriation has to do with restoring someone to his homeland. I take it you are African American. And if you are increasingly concerned with the economic and geopolitical standing of the United States -does that mean you aren't concerned about the country you will finally move to ?

Now i'm not trying to discourage you and all, there are beautiful cities and towns in west africa to raise a good family.
Can't really say much about them, but Abuja, Calabar, etc are good to reside in.

if you had not travel through west African cities by road all the way to Abidjan from badagry,might not really ve the idea of the best city in Africa i lived in Abidjan for 5yrs and in Accra 2yrs and all the while i do visit Lome and its environs.I came back to Lagos before I moved to the UK and ve as well visited south Africa.


The best city to live in west Africa is Abidjan, in terms of structure,neatness.modern infrastructure,transportation,good roads.In my 5yrs of being in Abidjan I witnessed lightout only thrice and non last for more than one hour am talking about 1996t o 2001.Its easier to think Accra is better ,am sure those that voted Accra should try and take a step forward and visit Abidjan.

Abidjan is thebest place to live in west Africa.

Most do not ve the idea of the war in cote d ivoire,This is not a war where they re blowing cities the rebels ve the idea of the structure and facilities they ve on ground in abidjan.Most of the war is happening outside Abidjan somewhere in the middle belt Yamoussoukro the government soilders ve always being in control of the southern part.Do not ve the idea of blowing cities.My last visit to Abidjan was in 2006, had a stop over to see Friends while travelling to Lagos from London the city still looks calm and tidy.

Abidjan was undoubtedly the best place in West Africa, in terms of infrastructure, beauty. While browsing on its pictures, I reluctantly, or should I say, refused to believe that the place was nicer than Lagos. Chalk it up to Nigerian loyalty in me. I'd like to think that France had a hand in transforming the country, economically. But with tension and instability that has rocked the city, not so long ago, can it really live upto its reputation as Africa's best city to live in?

The city in my opinion that has remained relatively peaceful is Dakar. I have never been there, but I heard it is a beautiful place.


PS: You don visit Cocody, a suburb of Abidjan?
