Teetomania:

Thank you so much for this. I intend to travel to Benin Republic before the end of next month or in June. I will be following your guide this time. I went there last year November and did a month. Came back before Christmas, but I used the bike men style via Owode-idiroko border. Seme border was closed then.

The serenity there and calmness of the people blew my mind. Compared to what is obtainable in Nigeria. I might do more than a month this time around. I plan to get my yellow fever vaccine soon. I still have about 11,000Cfa with me from the last time. Just glad that I can do it legit this time without fearing anything.

CaptainChaox:
Is it still possible to enter through bike from the idiroko border?

Teetomania:

Yes. But sometimes their police and officers are on the road when you board a cab from the border checking people. I was lucky they didn't stop my cab when I was going. They were too engaged. But I think you should be able to pay your way through though I can't tell for sure.

Fruit01:
