can you please help me register a betpawa account. It’s a betting account. I’m not in Benin so I don’t have the sim to register for it.
If I do, how can u withdraw your money? Cos I will still be the one to withdraw it via San MoMo number(mobile money). So I feel it can't work like that

It depends on your course of study. But you have to start the Preparatory degree programme in Russian Language and Literature.
Sure but which is the cheapest school with good flexible payment plan currently?

Okay thanks. Pls how much is transport from idiroko border to port novo?

And Please, what is the difference between the Idiroko border and the Owode border?
Sorry I didn't take not of this message. Just saw it. Current I don't know the cost of from idiroko to Port Novo but I know it will be between 2000 to 2500 cefa.

Then for the difference between owode and idiroko, I can't tell cos I have not passed via owode but I know it easier to snuggle things via owode and it's closer to cotonou and Port Novo than idiroko

Good day guys, I am thinking we create a WhatsApp group for those who are interested in relocating or doing business in Benin republic and some nearby African countries. Where we can get your questions answered not just by me but by some other experienced people. Meanwhile be careful before involving yourself with people. We may sound nice when talking but our hearts may not be so.
If you interested with the WhatsApp link, join via this WhatsApp link: https:///EbXnOIjD9kOFdJEsRwwLiG

@Gatess... thanks for the update so far,
Please i would like to ask if Benin Rep. Is a good place for a tailor (specialized on Suits and other Formal wears).. and how easy can one establish his business there (necessary documentation and cost implications) ?
Sincerely if your main focus is on suits and cooperate wears, Cotonou main town should be your utmost consideration and that makes u have high budget. Tailoring work is lucrative and getting the right documentations to enable u function properly isn't wat I will discuss here for now... That doesn't mean u can't operate at all but....

Fluctuate though but those changing 490 are wicked. It fluctuates between 500-530 for #1000

[quote author=Nas1 post=127233300]Op, please how is fuel business still going over there?, I mean I want to be buying fuel from Nigeria and sell on the street as they use to do there on norms, hope it's still allowed and I think those stupid customs will not be disturbing again since subsidy has been removed
I'm just thinking of taking advantage of the little difference in our currency to make myself money small small maybe I can make it from there cos this Nigeria do not favour me at all



Sorry this s coming a little bit late. Fuel biz is a dangerous biz but it pays. don't need to be buying it yourself. It's gonna be stressful. There are a lot of suppliers available and u can make up to 1k cefa after selling each gallon of 25litres. And u can sell up to 4 or more per day. It's fast selling and your location matters too

Teaching jobs pays better here compare to what I know in naija and it depends on what you teach too. Home lessons here pays well too. A smart teacher will surely cash out at Benin republic

I beg am planning to migrate to Benin Rep, what kind of job can I do, or what type of business can I go into, I show ball, play station, sport bet, pos, can this move market there ?

Or is agric business moving well there ?

Can 500k do me to migrate and start all over
If u are considering agricultural biz, go to the northern part sir. Meanwhile with as for job, delete it from ur mind except u understand french. As for biz, depend on what u have interest on but #500 currently is about 400k cefa. Remember house rent is there, shop may be there depending on your kind of biz, so practically it won't do much but if it's something like restaurant biz, it may be manageable especially when u don't require a shop to operate or have a very cheap shop to operate from. U can actually survive from it but u need a sincere sharp smart person to guide u through cos if u miss it, u gonna chew stone before finding ur feet again. But believe me, here is good to live and cost of living is still much better than many states in naija. Best of luck
