Many Nigerians are seeking greener pastures these days and with the issue of visa denials and inability of everyone to use an agent, maybe some african countries could offer solutions.

So for those who have visited or live in ECOWAS member states, come in and share your experiences. How do those countries compare to our fatherland in terms of:

Living standards,
Security,
Employment opportunities,
Cost of living,
Business, etc.

For those who have experience with non-ECOWAS states as well, you can chip in your contributions. Thank you.

Member States

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is made up of fifteen member countries that are located in the Western African region. These countries have both cultural and geopolitical ties and shared common economic interest. The region of West Africa is located west of north-south axis lying close to 10° east longitude. The Atlantic Ocean forms the western as well as the southern borders of the West African region. The northern border is the Sahara Desert, with the Ranishanu Bend generally considered the northernmost part of the region. The eastern border lies between the Benue Trough, and a line running from Mount Cameroon to Lake Chad.

Colonial boundaries are still reflected in the modern boundaries between contemporary West African states, cutting across ethnic and cultural lines, often dividing single ethnic groups between two or more states. The Economic Community of West African States has defined the region of West Africa since 1999 as including the following 15 states:

• BENIN
• BURKINA FASO
• CABO VERDE
• CÔTE D'IVOIRE
• The GAMBIA
• GHANA
• GUINEA
• GUINEA BISSAU
• LIBERIA
• MALI

• NIGERIA
• SENEGAL
• SIERRA LEONE

Senegal ( 5 months) :
The best west Africa for me, 90% Muslims nation but you wouldn't even know. You can slap a Soldier in Senegal no problem but do that to police officer and be ready for 4 months in Jail.
Apart from Dakar, the other areas are not much developed
NB:
Dakar is so nice but Igbo boiz has made Senegalese police to be targeting Nigerians.
They believe all Nigerians are Scammers becos that what most Nigerians in Senegal do for living.
Churches have so many programs for Scammers and vigil to help them see Magas.
Don't be surprise when you see Europeans travelling with you inside the Bus o Oooh even within the city



Niger Rep (4 months):
Nothing much diff from Northern Nigeria but Alcohol is legalized and the country own more than 4 brewery companies.
Friday's night na Club but the ladies are Nigerians.
Igbos and Yorubas girls has Oloshos


Sierra Leone ( 3 weeks):
Are you looking for easy to fuvk girls?
Sierra leone are the cheapest girls to bleep cos just buy a plate of food for them and it is finish but mehn those chicks get unbelievable ASS and they will fuvk your soul out .
Dogg style
The only food in that country is Rice and Cassava.
Every soup is around Cassava leaf shocked shocked

Guinea ( 4 days)
Those chicks over there are the most beautiful ladies in the whole West Africa. They like Nigerian guys becos of what Igbo guys are doing over there.
Once the police see a Nigerian? Money don come.
They will hold you at every check point as a Nigerian and you must pay.
The road from Mali to Guinea and from Guinea to Senegal are the worst roads, I have ever seen in my life.
Worst currency in West Africa.
3K = 270K grin
I and my friend ate rice and full Chicken and everybody was looking at our plate.

Me : How much is our bills?
Seller: 26K (I will never forget)
We : Jeus Christ, wahala dey oooooh
Seller: Its even cheap self compare to other places
We: We thought, it's was Naira but it's was useless Guinea Franc
We: Ooh 26k Guinea Franc, that's less than #1200 grin grin
We order for more Chicken and beer joor




Benin Rep (All together 1 month)
Not much fun
Same like Nigeria

Togo (2 days )

Ghana ( Just 2 days)

Burkina Faso( 1 day)

Mali ( 3 days)
That's country is too big
Travelling within the country takes days
Haba


NB: About West Africa including Nigeria
If you have money to do business then no problem but if you don't
God is your strength cheesy cheesy

Liberia

24hours electricity

Your hardly find menial job here

Security is zero.some of our brothers that have business center sleep in their shop

Their ladies are quite cheap

They respect the Nigerians so much especially the educated ones
I visit one town called kakata during their election process.you won't believe me.the only doctor that conduct surgery and operation in that county is a Yoruba man

Their education sector is write off

The country is calm,liveable,peaceful and low in crime

Their officers are so corrupt

No good food here,everyday rice

Thanks to our igbo women that have restaurant here

This place is good for business and white collar jobs

A Liberian will prefer to work with foreigner than his brother

They very lazy and pompous

Majority of them live in slum

If you don't have money or connection don't come to Liberia

You will regret it

So many of our brothers are stranded in Nigeria embassy here

Thanks to helpful igbo brothers that always try to fix their brother in one or two thing to do

Liberians are always proud of Nigeria

Hello Op. I have been so some West African countries and when you talk of comparisons, I'm going to list a few things.
Overall, we have money than any other ECOWAS member and they sort of look up to us , only that we aren't exercising our influence because we can't still put our lives together.

In terms of security, Nigeria is nothing to write about ( You hardly hear of robberies in Ghana except the minor ones).

Ease of doing business is higher in Ghana and other places than in Nigeria.

Cost of living is higher. Petrol is sold for more than 300 naira per liter.

VAT is about 17.5. So that sort of make things expensive. But the peace is lasting and easy with basic amenities like water and power.


Other ECOWAS countries are more law abiding than Nigerians. I am using Ghana as an example because I live here more than any other ECOWAS countries, not including Nigeria. A Ghanaian driver obeys traffic laws and knows should stop at zebra crossing.

More stable democracy.

Employment is a no no. Most of other ecowas citizens are docile and nothing pushes them in life. They are very much contented and barely think outside the box.

They just want to be employed and earn what they can use to feed their families and nothing more.
