I mean a self contained. It seems accommodation is more expensive there. But I think the minimum wage should be far better.
yes accomodation is very expensive there.

Self con is called a studio and you could get for 35k and above in the rural area. Not basically village. But around the borders of rural and urban areas.

I have been there and you need to check stats.
Same thing can be said about south African and Botswana.

Just tell me why you think Nigeria the poverty capital of the world is better than a working Namibia country?
I have been to Namibia have you? Why not just use Google and compare both counties.

South Africa's economy is the second biggest in sub-Saharan Africa, so SA should be omitted. The issue you are having is akin to those who praise the infrastructure in Akwa Ibom and say because of that, she is better than Lagos. However, the unemployment rate in Akwa Ibom is more than four times that of Lagos. That is how Nigeria is to Namibia.

why should SA be omitted, their whites makes up majority of the wealthy class. infrastructure aside what is the unemployment rate in Nigeria compared to Namibia, it is almost doubled. You haven't given me a reason why you feel Nigeria is better, especially for the common man.

Please is this inclusive of electric and water bills?
What about waste disposal and house security bills?

How is the internet when doing live streaming and video call like?
And how much CFA does it go for?
Sorry for too many questions.

E remain make I answer na grin

1. My rent was inclusive of the light Bill and water. Don't know for other places.

2. They have an organised waste disposal system. You drop your waste well packed in a black nylon and drop it outside where others do.

3. Their network is very good.

4. With 500 CFA, you can get 500 mb. Tuesday, Saturday is double Data. 500 gives you 1gb on those days.

I think countries colonized by the French are far better than those colonized by Britain.

The British people are so self centered. They are also exploitative.

They handed over the country to corrupt politicians who are still controlling things.

We will get there when we have the right leaders at the top.

stop blamibg he colonial masters

they handed over the country to Tarawa balewa, awolowo and zik of Africa , ransom kuti, etc

dey at the best hand as at dat tym
we at the ones dat killed those ppl ourselves

dey hand over a working institution, na we kill am

dey hand over a functioning railway and port system nah we kill am ourselves

dey hand over a progressive agriculture export system, na we turn am to importation country our sef


so all years of coup and counter coup dat waste Lyk 40years......at the British to blame


nah the same system dey gave Indonesia and Malaysia we were given .....how come those country at progressing ??

Nigeria population is not an excuse for her poverty. Is Nigeria bigger than US?
Make your objective comments on the experience of the Nigeria in Ivory Coast.
If this is what you describe as poverty, I think I like that poverty.
population can also be an excuse

america 300 million. over 9million square meter land mass Nigeria 200 million ....less than 1 million sqaure meter land mass
america 11million barrel of oil produce for 300m ppl Nigeria 2million barrel of oil produce for 200m ppl

Imagine a self con for 35k in a month in a rural area not even urban, that is like 420k a year.
420k u will use to rent a self con for Three years in naija or three bed room flat for two years in a rural area in naija
It means accomodations or rents is far expensive over there in Ivory coast than naija

Yes. Really something to consider before migrating. A big factor.

You are better off getting the information you need watching videos so you can visually compare also.
Search Bizclime on YouTube, the channel has good information on Bénin Republic.

By bus, roughy 50k max, with refreshments even if you know how to go in a ´cut and join´ manner. Take a bus to the border, then another bus to Aflao, then from Aflao to Accra, then from Accra to the border Takoradi, then from Takoradi to the border, then from Border to Abidjan. Or if you take a direct bus, then it's a full day, as in, 24 hours trip even at night.


Please can we chat about this on WhatsApp?
This is my number 07031170410
Thanks
