There are no jobs in Namibia o. You need to read Namibians wailing on Reddit. Namibia was top three in the number of unemployed citizens globally before Covid. Nigerian youths have more economic opportunities to than the average Namibian youth. If the country was relatively peaceful, people would have moved to LCOL states especially in the north and middle belt. Tensa20 is right, only South Africa should be compared to Nigeria. As for others esp those island states, it is an orange-to-apple comparison. Those countries are good to live safely, but not for economic opportunities. Ivory Coast is not even in the top five economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Ghana, upon her perennial IMF begi-begi, has a bigger economy than Ivory Coast.

That was how someone said Sudan is better than Nigeria because Ireland does not subject doctors trained there to qualifying exams. Sudan better than Nigeria? _{Maybe to groom terrorists}.

I visited Abidjan and their country capital Yamoussoukro for Two Months.

Na run I take comot from there. Ashi too full there die!!!

My preek nearly break

Please no one should take this guy serious or this post serious.

Those guys na proper Omila, Ole, Barawo, On-yoshi.

Before their Civil war it was OK but after their civil war or na crisis.

I can list 30 states out of the 36 states minus Abuja that is far far better than Ivory Coast.

VIKTO83:
U were probably in the city or capital city but that's doesn't negate most of your assertions anyways.
Ivory coast is a well organised country just as every other or most of the Francophone countries.

tensazangetsu20:
LoL ivory coast. The same one I know. Continue to cap. As horrible as Nigeria is, the only African country better than Nigeria is south Africa.

tensazangetsu20:


True there's no job in Nigeria but other African countries are worst. In a lot of these countries once you leave university you just go back to your father's house and farm. In Cameroon just here doctors hawk drugs as there are no jobs for doctors. You can imagine for other professions. South Africa has the most job openings but the unemployment rate in south Africa is around 70 percent

I'll go first...

1. Cooking gas: Cooking gas is very cheap in ivory Coast. It costs an average of #330/kg of gas. So refilling a 12.5 kg cylinder should cost you #4125 at most.

2. Kerosene: kerosene costs relatively about #650/ litre in the fuel station, where the black market sells for #800/ litre.

Note : This country's oil production is very poor o. They're not even anywhere close to Naija's production.

3. Organisation: Ivory coast is very well organized that you can barely run into unorganized environment. Many areas are safely guarded by their local police officers stationed almost everywhere. You can as well make friends with the officers easily without any form of threat from them. They're very welcoming.

4. Very low violent place: People can move around as late as 10pm till dawn without the fear of harassment or violence. In fact, children play in the tarred road as late as 10pm. They have already come to terms about how safe they are in the country. People can stay up late wherever they went to without rushing back home due to nightfall. Night movements was my best !

5. Good Road network: I spent close to 7 months in ivory Coast and could barely see a road untarred. Almost every road I used was smoothly done and stretched to various cities and States. The only place my leg touched Sandy soil was in my compound because the landlord was still constructing more buildings in the site. So our compound was sandy at the moment.
Tarred road stretched into all compounds in ivory Coast. It's not the responsibility of the government to do your compound, it's yours. I was marvelled by such development though I spent most of my time in the rural area.

6. Security: Police is your friend is the Moto in ivory Coast. Really nice people. I guess I've said it somewhere before now.

6a. Theft is ALMOST uncertainty. The prepaid meter of every individual house is stationed outside the main building without burglary or iron shield. Anybody can touch it. It wasn't even stationed very high from the ground level. It went only as far as 3-4 feets high. A child of 10 can touch it too.

Our apartment is in a 2 storey building comprising of almost 33 units of one bedroom apartments. The building was built like a shopping complex. All of the prepaid meters used in this apartments are stationed outside where everyone can see and feel it. But no one steals it, likewise every other houses there.

6b. Once there was a particular theft in my ivorian friend's shop that I know of. There were 5 boys who was involved in burgling his computer and phone shop one night. But before 5am, the boys were all caught with the complete stolen items retrieved. Funny enough, my friend didn't know. He was woken up by the police to come to his shop and see the guys. And he didn't have to SETTLE THE POLICE FOR DOING THEIR JOBS .

7. There is constant electricity in that country. CONSTANT.
I only observed a few nightouts and those periods were understandable. They all know when the lights would go off in the week or month and have come to terms with it. Light doesn't go off intermittently as obtained in Nigeria. And throughout my stay there, I didn't pay for light bill or water. My caretaker didn't mention it to me too. I was surprised. Steady light

8. Economy: Their economy is very good. It's almost equaling to the Naira at the time I left. So, if you hear 500 CFA there, it's almost equivalent to 500 Naira. So don't do too much calculation.

8a. Minimum wage is very much respected and applied. A POS attendant over their is living a good standard life. A bar attendant earns about 20,000 CFA weekly... WEEKLY o. I mean a local bar attendant. How much more a corporate hotel or bar attendant or waiter.

8b. The money you earn can fetch you a standard living. Their money is easily made and spent too.

9. FOOD : Our area of specialty.

Food is over cheap compared to what's obtained in Naija. You can see someone who earns little but could afford chicken or any frozen food. Food is not part of their problems for now. Banana can go as low as 50 CFA or 50 Naira and it is not the small quantity we're talking about.

A bunch of Bananas that you can get from a roadside vendor in Naija for 800 could be gotten for 150 CFA. So you see it. Once I bought 2 Bunches of banana for 50 each, I couldn't finish them for 3 days.

9a. So sorry, vegetables can be scarcely found there my dear. I made most of my soup without vegetables. That part I didn't enjoy

That's for now. Anybody can add.

aboyaji:


Gambia is a very good place to be. If you have the cash.

Going to ivory Coast should take up to 80k. But you must factor hotel bills and normal itinerary too

I think countries colonized by the French are far better than those colonized by Britain.

The British people are so self centered. They are also exploitative.

They handed over the country to corrupt politicians who are still controlling things.

LoL. All french countries are miserably poor. The Brits and the Spaniards were the best colonisers. We just refused to have brain in Nigeria and Africa but even at that the best countries In Africa are those colonised by the UK. Countries colonised by the UK in other continents are all doing very well. Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, Australia, US. Spanish colonised countries are also doing well too and Spain allows them to claim Spanish citizenship after living in Spain for two years provided they are from a former colony but poverty and France are synonymous to each other.

seguno2:


If the French are not so self centred and exploitative of their fellow humans who fail to work sacrificially as they do, they why do francophone countries have CFA tied to the French/European currency?

The colonial masters left us 63 years ago. What will you do to a 63 years old man who blames everything about his current situation, on the circumstances of his birth? Pat him on the back, or slap him on the face to reset his brain

Ken4Christ:


Give examples of English colonized countries in Africa that are better than their French counterparts.

Comparing Nigeria to ivory coast is an insult in itself. Ghana is 100 times better than ivory coast. Ivory coast has been designated over and over again as a failed state. Cameroon, Gabon, Burundi, Niger, Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, guinea and more are all french countries which are poverty stricken shitholes. FYI UK visa is the easiest for a Nigerian to get at the moment. We didn't even need a visa to the UK till your darling daddy buhari tried to kidnap umaru dikko and that ended the relationship we had with the UK with regards to visa free travel.
