IGNORAMUS. THE USA HAS NO STATES THAT ARE ''BIGGER THAN NIGERIA AND MORE POPULATED''.

THE US POPULATION IS JUST 330 MILLION.

IT IS ALSO STUPID AND DUMB TO COMPARE A COUNTRY THAT'S BEEN INDEPENDENT FOR 400 YEARS+ WITH AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF 8 TRILLION DOLLARS, WITH A DEVELOPING NATION LIKE NIGERIA THAT'S BARELY BEE

N INDEPENDENT 60 YEARS, AND HAS AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF 50 BILLION DOLLARS.

And secondly what is the cost of getting accommodation there as a first visit and planning to base in the country.

Also I go in educational work such project and thesis for undergraduates and postgraduates respectively and general academic paperwork.

Harassment by the security agencies is on the high side. When you are a foreigner and get to know, they extort you by demanding a lots of documents from you. Nigerians are their target at Tokpa market

I vowed to leave Nigeria if the drug lord is announced winner of the presidential election and obviously it has com to past. Since my money never reach enter yankee, I'm looking towards an African country hence, seeing the good words and ratings about this country, I just might consider it..

Relocating to these countries aren't my problem really buh the language barrier of them not predominantly speaking English but french is the challenge.

The poster has really tried enough to capture the key features of Cotonou. Last year, I spent 10 days exploring 3 African countries; Benin, Togo & Ghana.

I felt ashamed travelling around with my powerbank then, because the availability of electricity is highly remarkable in those countries.

I can confirm those business opportunities listed by the poster.

panpan:
Are private boreholes, for water, permitted in Benin Republic?

baabzz:

nwauwa:
Please what is the current exchange rate ie naira to cefa and usd to cefa?
For someone going to Togo for a short trip, where do u advise they exchange their money?

yourshopkwikguy:
Cotonou Benin republic is actually a lovely place to be with security, quality of living nd great road network, I was there last year July.
I enjoyed my stay tho but there's high cost of Living especially the rent, imagine paying 30k CFA monthly for a room self apartment but the currency issue is due to how weak naira became. As of 2019 10,000 naira was 35,000 naira CFA so now it's the same thing, you will need 30,000 naira to pay for 35,000 CFA Also
it's always a hard task for Nigerians to see house here especially students because most of this landlords don't want to rent house to Nigerians. the language barrier is issues at times, just pray you aren't caught up between 2 beninese they can Bleep you up.
They really respect their police there, they take the most little case to police station lolll..
Bikes is most common mode of transport here, you have to understand little french to communicate with locals thoo although most of them understand Yoruba.
I really miss atasi, this guys eat anything eatable with soko bread. Their English universities here are kinda sub standard tho, they spend 3 years..
Generally benin is a great place to be if you have money or great business idea to exploit.

Euphoria19:
Visited Benin in January and it was absolutely amazing, the people were friendly even with the language barrier cause I don't know french and most don't know English, I regretted why I didn't take french seriously in my primary and secondary education.

It's a very peaceful and quiet place, traveled to ouidah and visited different places, it's a good place to retire to or relocate entirely.

Op please what are the various job opportunities that one can find there if you don't want to go into business.

Peledonomy:
I'm looking for a country to just migrate to and hustle. I don't have money for western nations yet.

I was thinking Cameroon, Benin, Kenya or Rwanda.

How much their education dey cost? How much can a million do for me as regards a degree

pocohantas:
No one believes the aim of everyone is to get rich, but everyone knows Nigerians are first economic immigrants. I don’t know why they love to dance around this, then go ahead to start converting their earnings to Naira to feel better.

All this talk of lawlessness and corruption is your own postulation and it is definitely not in contest here. Everyone knows Nigeria is lawless.

My point remains, there is no milk and honey flowing in these countries and anyone going there should know that. Go there and enjoy light to charge your phone and be contented. Get ready to keep your certificate aside and hustle like you are in Yaba market. Don’t think you will be wiring back money home. Simple!!
