Once inside Cameroom life took a different turn:
Let me explain 5800 naira is equals to 10k cefas but the real value of 10k cefas is 2k cefas (based of ppp), so the indigenes calls 10k cefas as 2k cefas which leaves you chasing from naira as a very disadvantage position because my 200k gave me slightly 35k cefas (based on the ppp), or you say 170k cefas based on tender value.

From Fotokol in Cameroon, based on we that had passport I joined a vehicle to Kousseri (a border town with Chad ), and its a 5hr journey largely due to bad road (and following jungles).

The cost was 3k cefs (based on ppp) or 15k cefas based on tender figure or 9k plus in naira come see flood for Cameroon and bad road.

To stamp passport in Fotokol its supposed to be 8h cefas based on ppp but I paid 2k cefas based on ppp- story for another day.

I noticed that their headers are friendlier, everyone is willing to help, asin even in forest they park their cars to help one another and move without fear.

Though their road network is nothing to write about.

Bribery is very rampant.

I say fox animal and elephant (giwa).

naira is now useless. but op, your value of exchange is correct. you said 5800 naira is equivalent to 10k. and same time 200k naira is equivalent to 170k cfa. what is the real value?

Onlinefarmstore:


10k cefa is 2k cefa based on purchasing power

Example is guy borrow me 2k I will give you 10k cefa note.

okeysoninv:
I'm talking about the exchange rate not purchasing power

Onlinefarmstore:
Once I had left Fotokol in Cameroon we travel to Kousséri a border between Cameroon and Chad, and the journey lasted 5hr or six hrs.

It was quite late I couldn't move so I had to look for a hotel what I saw was wow Holly Wood Hotel and 1k cefas a night (based on ppp).

In preparation for travel to Chad.

I bought food they call water fufu (couldn't eat it, too much oil, strong etc), bought for 1k cefas (based on legal tender and water for 5h),

The next thing was I bathed and prepared to move out to chad.

Couldn't get a clear pic of the food, and had to take Mill because it trigger a health attack.

One naira is one point fifty kobo

Onlinefarmstore:
After the hotel I prepared to cross into chad, mehn I got a transport guy 1k cefas (ppp) to the order side Ngueli.

Ngueli isn't far from my hotel 10mins drive and the capital of chad isn't far from the border 15mins drive. Or not farm from Kousséri

Did my visa and stamping for 3k cefas (ppp or 30k cefas) I was told I was cheated......


Now let me tell you,

Amongst all the countries chad border is the most secured, armed escorts heavily militaries, soldiers cctv, they scan your fingers ask you how long you are to stay, check you search you.

If they see you will NIN slip you are finished, only passport

Onlinefarmstore:
From the border I got a hotel in Chad capital close to the Chinese embassy, and close to EU office for chadian cooperation (am giving this example so you can know how cheap the hotel is --- 3k cefas per night based on ppp or say 30k cefas or 18k naira per night), the area is likened to central business district in Abuja.

Then also took a little tour
How much is CFA to Naira now?

Now eating will soon tell you how I was almost arrested for lack of passport till I saw my passport
