Hello boss, can I get laborer job there? Or farm work job.. how much is the pay range?

Maybe you think Abidjan is first world country
Bring it low, it’s nothing more like Nigeria, just that security and light is okay here and you can manage to start business with any amount you have
That’s the difference
Thinking about job, they have job scarcity just like Naija
Never forget it’s still the same African leaders
Bonne chance

Man, I'm a plumber and water treatment specialist.

Any chance I might get employment given that they have a functional public water infrastructure?

Are there private water companies there?

Yeah a lot of them, talking about getting a job, I won’t tell ya that you won’t get a job neither will I tell ya that there are jobs waiting for ya
The only thing I can say is that there’s job scarcity here also just the way it is in Naija, there citizens full street searching for job too
We all have differ destiny, you can succeed where others couldn’t so why not try if your mind is telling ya to try

[b][/b]Most people coming to Abidjan, Ivory Coast find it very difficult settling into the country. Issues of traveling, accommodation and business come into play.
I reside in Abidjan, so ask me anything from transportation, housing, business and the life generally here.
Please no insults and unnecessary arguments here. God bless you all.

Depends on your budget.

Your best bet is to get into the country and do due diligence. Plumbing is good business here. Just follow a plumber for 3 months. Each day of work you get something within the range of 2.5 to 3k CFA. As you follow you get to know places. You learn the language faster also and a good understanding of the plumbing profession here. Plumbing is lucrative I must say but you need the 3 to 6 months sacrifice of following someone. God bless you.

In Abidjan the Keke business is lucrative, you do not need to give them out on hire purchase. Here you make you money daily after signing a contract with the driver for the first six months. The daily pay is 8 to 10 k CFA. Management is not a problem. The business is a straightforward one. Merci

Yes. Your business will do well here. Here is the take. Do not close the one in Onitsha. Since you are already into the business. Get 2 to 5 Keke here and start. You see the business is sweet here. Management is not a problem whether you are here or not. You will see your money. No stories. Hope this helps

CFA is bigger than naira now. That aside accommodation is one thing that is expensive here. It is because our money is bastardized that is why you see it as expensive. When Yaradua was in power that money is equivalent to 6 k naira. That 25k is even in the so called ghettos or outskirts. At the main areas in the capital it is more expensive. But be rest assured that even in the ghettos there are street lights, security, electricity and water. Once you have something doing the money is peanut. This is my 2 cents. Hope it helps

You see even if you are doing petty trading you will still pay your rent. Compare exchange rate now with that of naira. That is why you see it as expensive. That aside, once you are hard working and creative the money is small. What is the point living in a flat in Nigeria and you do not have a job.
