illicit:
I once got a teaching offer there

The pay is 80k cefa per month

I learnt accommodation is about 30k cefa a month

Other utilities like water, gas and data will take another significant chunk, u buy water there it's not free

Are you talking about bottled water? If yes then please tell me where in this world is bottled water free. And if you’re talking about tap water then that’s not free neither cos water bills need to be paid. Anyway just let me know what you meant.

In Cotonou

I declined

Simdyofficial:
Still better than Nigeria.. At least there's security,light, water,good roads and a no nonsense land.. BTW. Cefa don rape naira


Modified: To y'all telling me to relocate to Benin and another person saying they see Lagos as there Dubai lmao..
Its easier to manage a small country than a big country like Nigeria that very large and still allow a dullard to head it. How will it work? I have lived in Benin republic for some years so I no why I said so. You will hardly see anything checkpoints. At a time when crime rate wanted to get high,the president gave a harsh punishment to offenders, boys ran away self. No long talks. Na my own opinion

judedwriter:


Nic place to live in. The only problem is financial opportunities are limited unless you get much money for investing.

TayoAinaFilms:
Why is Nobody Traveling to the Benin Republic is a video where I share my honest review about Lagos Nigeria's neighboring country in West Africa. I spent a week here and this is an honest breakdown of my experience.

We visit Cotonou ,Ouidah Python Temple, Casa Del Papa, Ganvier and a lot more. I also explore some of the best things to do if you are visiting the Benin Republic. Do like, watch and enjoy.

False; Nigeria runs laps around Benin Republic. Nigeria has better light, water, and roads. Nigeria has a far superior hdi rating, economy, and gdp PER CAPITA.

Nigeria is Middle Income developing Nation.

Benin is a low income least developed nation.

Federal Republic of Nigeria > Benin Republic(French puppet state).

Fahrenhite:

Inferior19:

Una go just carry una mouth dey talk rubbish

Presido95:


See this one spitting lies with confidence. Both Benin and Nigeria are lower-income countries. You should have at least done a little research.

Brooke60:
Yeah, 4 of my friends won't be able to get their passport before our planned date. I heard that we can't get into BR without our passports. So, we might be rethinking to Whispering Palms.

Or any Info on passport entry?

Going with my friends too from Lag with the intent to touch Togo and Ghana.

If you guys' goals align with ours, we could all draft our plans and fun together. Look forward to your response.

Lastbornbuns:


Benin republic has a slightly higher HDI than Nigeria

Hannania:
If the HDI of subregions like Lagos Abuja, Kano, Enugu, Kaduna, Kogi port Harcourt are taken, you'd see that Benin is nowhere close to Nigeria.

Our overpopulation and inequality of distributed wealth is the major reason why our HDI is low. But Nigeria is still a middle-income country.

Lastbornbuns:


Yes, but we are doing a country by country comparison...

Trippleblessing:


When are you looking at? Any estimated cost yet

GreatCracker:

myfantasies:
Do you need someone that can carry your luggage for you

illicit:


A room self con


Rent is paid monthly

And the landlord will still collect times three or four of that as caution fee

Biafrarep:


Are you kidding me?!
A teaching job that pays 80k cfa which is roughly 80k naira monthly, yet house rent for a self contained room is 30k monthly which amounts to 360k annually worse still, the skyline I saw looks no different like that of Ibadan

That's crazy and not worth the trouble. Little wonder the country ranks so low on HDI.
