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

Hello Zkuhafa,
I intend coming to cotonou with my family for weekend. We have our valid international passport. Is there any implication of stamping or not stamping the passports because I noticed that some people are avoiding stamping their passpost. Kindly reply cos we don't want to make any mistake of stamping of passport.

ciwi:


Thank u so much zhukafa.

I want to buy like 10 dresses, 5 pairs of shoe and 3 handbags for myself. I'm just thinking if it'd worth it. Thanks

ciwi:

@ zhukafa Thank you very much for your insightful response and reply. However, i will like to suggest a joint traveling arrangement for those of us that will be traveling to cotonou for the first time so as to get it right because i learnt that most of the people there don't understand engish.

I am planning a 3 days relaxation trip to cotonou and i will appreciate going in group atleast for the first time.

Please house, whats your take on my sugestion.

Zhukafa well done for keeping the thread alive. I always read but cant comment as i'm no longer updated. Meanwhile, i'm curious to know if they have finished those constructions going on at seme border?

zhukafa:
NO

Hi Zhukafa. Thanks for the nice job you've been doing. God is ur strength. Pls i have read this trend from A to Z but still have some questions, and will appreciate it if you can help me with the answers. My questions are:

1. Cotonou and Togo, which one do you think will be more profitable to buy used male shoes from.

2. Since I intend to buy abt 500,000 cfa on just male used shoes, Is it possible to get them at 3000 cfa/ pair?

3. Ppl tell me to use company services to bring the shoes to lagos, but i read here that the safest method is tru idioroko axis. Which do you suggest i go for?

Ur immediate answer to these questions would be highly appreciated. Thanks
