If you are still in Abidjan, I can give you CFA cash and you will see the naira equivalent to my nigeria acct. If still interested kindly respond to this message.

Hello house, I plan to come probably by March next year after my Youth Service. I have read this topic from page one to this current page. Honestly, I must commend your efforts. My plan is to come and establish a business, though my budget is low (500-800k Naira). What businesses can I start with this amount and which areas should I look forward to? Can I get a flat sharing there (I would like to start with a low life)? Lastly, owing to CBN's ban on Naira card abroad, what can be my possible means of transferring my money. By cash seems at risk to me. Please I would like to have your opinions on this as I want to intensify my plans. Need to leave immediately after my passing out. (May not withstand seeing my CV used in rapping Akara)
Thanks

You're so right. It literally makes my head hurt but I just can't stop calculating. Internet that we pay 3.5 gig for 2,000 naira (MTN) is 10,300 CFA here for 3gig. Coke that is 100ngn is 400cfa. Bodyspray is even the worst! We buy it in Nigeria for between 700-900ngn now because of recession o,here it's between 2500-3000cfa. I don't even want to talk about house rent cause what we pay in a year is their monthly rate. What about when you make an effort to learn French? It's 110,000CFA a month at Institut Français. That's about 100k. Even with the recession it's still 10 times cheaper to live in Nigeria jor.

[b]The French government really tried but one thing I have noticed about here is that the real estate here are not organized.

They love enjoyment pass their future.
If you want to know. I was in a bar at Alade market along Riveria around 8:00 pm then a police man came and instructed the bar man to reduce the volume of the music.

Girls here are dope # If u are married problem if you are not married bigger one.

I like Yopougon ... I cll the area Young people .. If you have money I won't advice you to patronise Abuja 50k for what ? Haba ! That is Kworroption and BUBU must look into it.

No job angry

Awesome. Let me have your email address for a chat. I'll speak with my friend if it still interests her. I had held back cos most of the people in here are trying to be middle men which will hike retail cost and make it a worthless venture. Rovk-bottom price is key.

Je suis a l'attente. Merci en avance.
