70K From Jibowu To Cotonou? by ibinaboonline: 5:35pm On Feb 04
I just sent a message to a certain transport company inquiring about the bus fare from Jibowu to Cotonou? They replied with 70K with passport. I'm dumbfounded. Like, really? For a 3-hr trip. I've never been to Cotonou, but I didn't expect the fare to be this high. Any tips?

Oh dear. In that case, I suppose the airline refers to the broomstick or something.

From mile 2 enter badagry 1k
From badagry enter Cotonou which I’m very sure won’t be more than 10k.

I'm doing it right now. So far so good, but the prices are higher than you estimated. From Oshodi to Mike 2 is 400 naira. I'm currently in a bus headed for Badagary; the price is 1,500 naira. I'll keep you updated with the trip. πŸ™‚

Re: 70K From Jibowu To Cotonou? by ibinaboonline: 5:42pm On Feb 06
I really really really messed up for not taking photos. Cotonou is beautiful. At least, the areas I hung around. I especially took notice of the quality of most of the cars on the roads. Impressive. There's no Toyota worship going on there like in Nigeria. You have your modern Suzukis, Hyundai, Kia (especially Kia. Loved the EV6s I saw), MINI, etc. I know, I know, everything is not all about cars, but I'm a car guyπŸ™‚. So, I had a safe and interesting trip. Barring the language barrier, it's really nice.

Hi
Did the officials charge you to pass the border?


Planning a weekend next month

How much is Cotonou to Togo? I plan visiting Ivorycoast actually.
Re: 70K From Jibowu To Cotonou? by ibinaboonline: 10:14pm On Feb 07
Nope. Not even a stamp on my passport. I guess I'm being naive here. From Badagary to seme via taxi. From seme across the border via bike. Not even a question from an officer.

How much long does it take from Seme to Cotonou

Are there taxis or just bikes
Re: 70K From Jibowu To Cotonou? by ibinaboonline: 8:07pm On Feb 08
Well, entering Cotonou proper from seme is around an hour. Typically less.
