All these external loans should stop. It appears as if there are a few people in the federal government and the lending institutions who get commissions from these loans. When the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, and excessive inflation. |

Meanwhile, these are coming against the backdrop of FG’s plan to finance the 2025 budget deficit with domestic and external borrowings amounting to N9.22 trillion, 18 % higher than the N7.808 trillion for 2024. The federal government should stop external or foreign borrowing. When the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through naira devaluation, and excessive inflation. |

Travel › Re: I Just Got To The Gambia by panpan(m): 4:33pm On Dec 02, 2024 |
AntiNigerian: To go to the Gambia by road, this is how it goes;
If you're coming from Abuja, either you move to Sokoto and connect Niger Republic or you move to Lagos and connect with Cotonou.
If you connect Niger Republic from Sokoto, Follow this route;
From Very close to Agadez in South western Niger, Tell then you're going to Mali (Bamako) to be precise, it should take almost a day or 2 to reach Bamako , Máli. Make sure you've converted most of your ₦₦₦ to XOF (you'll need it for paying bribes on the road). Hold your international passport as well. You'll pay bribes at Burkina Faso and Bamako Mali as well. It doesn't just end there. At Bamako, Mali, tell them you're going towards the Senegal border, hold some XOF for bribes as well, if you can speak French, it's a plus for you. Once they take you close to the Senegal border, you'll enter a cab there that will take you inside Senegal, now board another cab or bus that will either take you to Dakar or if you wanna use the shortest route, then take a cab towards the Amdou Adjali Border (Senegambia border, border between Senegal and Gambia at the Eastern part of the Gambia) and enter, but at best, it's much better to use the Dakar→Banjul route (of which they go by sea) , so in Senegal, you'll pay bribes too, maybe XOF 7000 OR XOF 10000 before you'll be allowed to cross over to the Gambia by Ferry/Boat. At the Banjul port entry, you'll pay an equivalent of $20, which is about D1440 or thereabouts as the immigration will need to register you and from there, you can take a cab to go to where you want. Always use the yellow cabs, they are the general preferred ones that citizens use, the green cabs are a bunch of ripoffs who like to exploit tourists and foreigners.
Now, enough said, if you're going through Lagos route, use this information ;
From Lagos(depending on where you are, find a way and get to Ketu and enter from Ketu to Cotonou) , once in Cotonou, tell them you're going to Mali, they should charge at most XOF 22,000 now, so yes, keep your money converted to FCFA (XOF) because you'll need it to "settle men" on the road. From Benin Republic, they'll move you guys to Burkina Faso and if you're fast enough, you'll get to Bamako by midnight. If you didn't get to Bamako that day, then you'll sleep over at Ouagadougou or any other place in Burkina Faso. Observe that the time on your phones will be changing from time to time dynamically. Once at Bamako, you'll settle both Burkina Faso and Malian immigration as well, then at Bamako, take a bus to carry you to the border close to Senegal, at that border, you'll use a cab to enter Senegal. Make sure you hold your passport and bribe money (e get why) , once you get to the Senegal border with Mali, you'll be asked to identify your nationalities and each nationality has how much bribe they'll pay. Nigerians will usually pay the highest, followed by Ghanaians. If you can speak French, it's a plus. Once you guys have been cleared at the border, you'll need to find a cab there to take you guys inside Senegal, if possible, either towards the Amdou Adjali Border (at the supposed Senegambia border) or you connect with Dakar and go to Banjul from there. If you use the Amdou Adjali Border, then you'll need to find a cab/bus and pay for them to take you to Banjul, Bijilo or Serrekunda. But if that's not the case, then you'll need to get to Dakar and use a ferry to enter Banjul. Like I said, you'll pay bribes in Senegal (about 2 times, and one in the Gambia upon entry)
The amount you'll pay in Senegal at the first border and at Dakar will vary between XOF 7000- XOF 12,000 (If you can speak French, then you can price with them). At the Gambia, make sure you've converted some XOF to D, because you'll need it. You will need to hold like D4000 or more before entering the country. So from Banjul, take a cab and tell them the hotel or place you're going to. Make sure it's the yellow cabs. Green cabs are mostly a rip off.
And also in the Gambia, shine your eyes properly. Activate your street adaptive OS, e get why. No go Mezebu, make dem no carry your passport run, because some fake people who will want to claim they are immigration and they want to see your passport will end up running away with it. If they ask for it, request to see their badge and details and everything about them and don't hand over your passport easily to them, until you go to their office and see for yourself. Na so people dey take loss their passport for Gambia. Whether you're coming from the sea or by air, guide your passport, because even fake immigration dey airport(but you fit no know).
So yes, this is how to get to the Gambia by land. It takes approximately 3-5 days to reach the Gambia by land from Nigeria. Thank you. Hmm! A lot of settlement! Thanks for the information. |
