You too much my brother

felixzo1:
were you able to visit the northern part of the country, what is Life outside Abidjan like

Yes just once outside Abidjan and i can tell u is more peaceful and cheap food and houses are the advantages in those areas.

The only advantage in Abidjan is just that city life and to make money or "chasing the bag"

HELLO GUYS.....

Like as i promise too update today from the continuation of my MISTAKES /FUNNY THINGS i did in ivory coast.

i just need to quickly ship in this mistake story from one my 3 Nigeria friends in ivory coast.

Am saying this to let you people know how ur former environment and the country u lived before can affect ur way reasoning ( mentality)

We all have this mentality that every woman in Nigeria wants money, and this believe got stock into our brains... And despite we moved to another place, environment or country, we are still carrying this MENTALITY that grew with us.

His name is bobby, and came into ivory coast before me. although i had not gone too ivory coast when he met the girl but i was there at the closing hour of their relationship. Am very sure, he never knew this Ivorian girl was an accountant if not he would not have ask her for dating.

I remember how this my friend called bobby was telling me how passionate this Ivorian girl loved him and how he started suspecting this kind of love he has never seen.... even in Nigeria, despite the lady was an MTN accountant with good educational qualification and also very pretty. He also told me how this Ivorian girl called him immediately she closed from work for him to join her at her house. He even confessed that the lady was really doing well for her self.

Now lets get too why your mentality sometimes determined how far u go in life and how oppurtuned you will be. Am saying this because i remember how this my friend keep lamenting on how he lost this sweet and good Ivorian lady just because of the way he view all women.

And When he was planing to leave this girl, by then i just came into ivory coast and any time this same girl called him at night too meet at her place.... My guy will start complaining for no reason and Bobby's complains goes this way in pidgin

" this girl think say i get money because i be Nigeria guy... She just dey show me love make i for enter trap then from there she go they bill me ooooo "

Then the remain 2 guys go say " she no know say u be Nigeria guy" ( ignorance is really a disease )

I had no choice than to keep shot because by then i was just knowing them....

That is how he continue to play this girl and not answering her call at night, and this made the girl really fed up with him and everything they say is history . he lament all the time about this mistake. and he tried to visit the girl in her house but he was told this girl has moved to a new house

Why is this painful..... is that, this girl would have still help him get a job when he has non. This my friend is also a graduate and i know what that girl would have done for him. She may even help him into MTN in ivory coast.

Sorry for this long story about my friend...

Now back to mine, and i will start with the funny things i did over there in " ivory coast "

i remember when i newly came to ivory coast and later moved to the Ivorian family house.

Due to the power ( light) issue in Nigeria and how i was so used with carrying my charger into any where i am going too in Nigeria. it took me some time to realise am not in Nigeria any more because most times before i leave home in ivory coast i put my charger in my pocket and on my way going... i remember there was no need for such

Dnt blame me i was only a product of Nigeria.....

Dnt laugh at me, am not the only victim of this stupidity... My friends are also involved infact they want too quickly go home when they know their phone was about to die, but when they remember the light over there is" 247" they just smiled and calm down. We all start bursting into laughter

Oh my father, i remember when i first got there and how i wrote my number with names on it in different pieces of papers and i carry it all over like my card, because i know am very sure of approaching Ivorian ladies
, and the hardest point and very sad moment u will regret as a foreigner is when this sweet Ivorian damsel will say too u in French language " NUMERO"

meaning - (give me YOUR NUMBER)

If an Ivorian girl ask after ur number be sure of a call at night or before u even get home

i had lost so many damsel this way because i dnt know numbers in french by then...

So, i decided to be stubborn and think creative about getting the solution this way. I have no choice to duplicate my numbers in so many "hand take" papers when they ask and i bring out does pieces of papers... They always smiled for being so creative

Atleast have giving some people EXPO, i bet u..... U will not find this in any "relationship books"

Again, i remember how i was becoming a prophet, thinking that the light must go off anytime the rain is falling so heavily

Dnt blame me! where i came from is normal thing for light too go off when it rain's....

after all, they said we are giant of africa... And if giant light can go off when it rained, what do u expect from other smaller countries to us?

Infact, all my time there that rain fell so heavily.... their light was so stable and strong like the " WALL OF JERICO"

I have no choice than to start thinking differently and my mentality start changing.

Listen people, u dnt find " high tension wires" over there like in Nigeria. All their "light cable and high tension" passes through the ground. (What a county)!


I have to go guys... It will take some little time to update again because i want people reading this too meet up easily and digest it....., I dnt want them to feel they still have like 20 pages to go. That can be discouraging .

So, stay safe and God bless u all for ur time.

The reason why u should not listen or believe everything u see.. The through event of things is to go there and come back to prepare.

Or if u have closed friend or family members there. Not just anybody

HELLO GUYS!

Happy to be here once again......

I was try to bring my friends for them to continue from where i stopped but they are not ready for now

So today i will be writing on my "MISTAKES / FUNNY THINGS" i did in ivory coast.

I will be starting with this flirty story between me and a girl called Mariam in ivory coast, when i was homeless and i newly came there...

So let's start....

Her name is Mariam a Muslim by religion. She is fair and average in height and with seductive eyes that tells u to come and kiss me( guys knows what am talking about) and also with a sexy behind... Oh my God am sorry forgive me

And to any woman i will be getting married too in future that is seeing this now or later in future... Am sorry! ( for describing a woman this way)

I remember when i first came into ivory coast and straight to the street of Abidjan.... This girl was the first eyes opener to me. Have never seen a seductive woman who talk with a man with his eyes..... And what made it so sweet was that am a good match for her and i was able too blend with her easily. the understanding was there like " supporting striker and striker" in a soccer match.

both of us had some secret affair and no body knows about our affair in that area.

Less i forget this girl mum own a big shop in a "shopping plaza" and are mum goes too Dubai to get jewelries and some clothes that she sales and also very popular in Abidjan, and all this made it hard for that girl to be free. she is the only girl at home and so useful and busy!

But all this things did not stop us from meeting " time to time" and i never knew she was planing something big for both of us

Mind u, i just came into the country and i knew nothing in French. i was just smart enough to communicate in any form i can and some times i use my phone on "google translation " it was rough and rugged for me but i was stubborn to cope and blend with this Ivorians ( i had no choice and not with what am seeing then)

On this faithful day, i was in my popular hangout spot close to this girl mother "shopping plaza" this is where we always fixed our date. We most times communicate through eyes and hand language ( i told u people both of us understand each so well)

So..., she brought food for her mother this faithful afternoon, and as she was about going, and she gave me a sign to follow her... Then i did.

We met at the usual spot approaching her parent house, and i was expecting same gist and flirt we normally do but not knowing that it was a day of craziness, if not that i spoiled my own show ( am crying as am writing this and i dnt want to remember it again)

Then she told me " emeka Alon" this is French language ways of saying LET'S GO ( i dnt think i got the spelling correctly though...) i was surprised and wondering where is this girl taking me too. and when we got too their house gate, she told me "emeka vien" French language way of saying COME. At this time i knew is a good day and my joy stick was already responding to stimulus and the smile she was giving me when she was telling me to come in....

everything was working perfect and is like she had this plan forever.. i was just working through the compound like a "land lord" and so free as she is taken me into her parent house..... Then we met a man, as we were about to enter the house ( that is her step dad).... then her step dad ask her who i was in (French language) then she told her step dad that i am her brother from another state, that i came too visit her. My brethren, everything was perfect and at that moment i know this girl was "executional "

The man even welcomed me with a nice smiles.... and as i was about to enter the house with this girl, i dnt know if someone was watching me with mirror in NIGERIA, and the next thing i said to the man was "WELDON GOOD AFTERNOON SIR"

The next thing this man said was to asked the girl to stop and ask her again where is this boy from, at that level it was clear to me i already lost....

Then this man later find out am from NIGERIA, which will even make him to suspect us because the girl already lied to him.

I have no choice than to leave immediately and i look at the eyes of this sweet Ivorian girl and it shows i really disapointed her

let me say her intentions for bringing me in to her parent house....

Her intention was to take me to her room and bleep the hell out of me and still keep me for weeks while we have sweet fun.

I would have stayed for some time, because the house is really big and u can be in her room for months nobody will find out.

The painful thing is that by then i had no place to rest my head and i was only sleeping at night clubs..

Chai ! It is well.......

stay tuned for the Continuation's of my MISTAKE/ FUNNYTHINGS in ivory coast by 8pm today or by 12pm tomorrow...

Thanks too u all

Ecobank is there...

And yes naira master card work there, also ATM

TreasureTayo:
Alright bro, 15k shud take me der na either from naija direct or from Benin republic?

That amount too small... From Nigeria is from 30k that was 2 Years back ooo....

And u know say things done change for nigeria

felixzo1:
hello, you are doing a great job.do you have any idea how much a shop will cost (plaza,mall or market) how much does a car cost,why are things generally expensive, is it because of the tax rate.how in agric business generally, poultry, pigs, cattle.

it has been two years since i left there and i dnt want to be too sure of something i left for 2 years.

Aslo, It depend on the location of the plaza or shop. But my advice is just hold some reasonable amount of money....

And again, not all things are expensive ... What i believe is that u got qualities of the money u paid

Agric business is lucrative over there... But u should be thinking of staying another state and not Abidjan..

[quote author=Fuhrerfran6 post=89557982][/quote]My brother on my own the only negative i saw there is that jobs are not easy to come by. That is the only thing but if u are in business then u are on ur way of hitting a jackpot.

derealj:
Emekusboy, you are doing well. You have painted a vivid picture of what Life in Cote d'ivoire is like. However the way you described the clubs there is in contrast to what is obtainable here in Nigeria. Does it mean you can enter the club over there without much cash and still have a swell time? Secondly how does the men there see your relationships with their ladies?

You dnt need to break the bank to have swell time.

For their men dey dnt have that time to monitor who date their women or not... Too much pretty girls/ladies they everywhere. Their men no send ooo

TreasureTayo:
Na wah o. O boy I go like such cruise o. Well, someday, I fit visit. From Lagos how much be bus down to Ivory coast?

It depend on how u want to go there, either from Nigeria or from Benin Republic

TreasureTayo:

Spec7:
Welcome back Emekus, we are patiently waiting for your update my bro

Yes my brother am preparing for update..

encryptjay:
Lovely thread! Travel section is always lit with such threads. I believe it's pertinent to travel out and see other countries instead of being caged up here with our mentalities, once you get to certain countries and you're open minded, there's this revampment your mind will experience.
Côte d'Ivoire seems to be a cool country.
OP is a flexing guy, he can write 100 pages on Samedi Sua
Like someone said, the poster respects time to the core, if he says 1PM, expect to see his post 12:55PM or thereabout, that's cool.
Well done Emekusboy9.
