Where are you based, maybe we can plan together

Let me ask Sunday Igboho...

I visited Benin enroute ... last year December 2023.

They had cheap. Flight tickets and I speak average French. Well what I can say is that they are very reserved.
The best hotel in the capital city still looked like a 30k hotel in Lagos. I say it's a backward place, at the time, 500 cefa was N1000, I used a taxi and every trip was 2000cefa . Knowing I was travelling I can say they extorted me sha.

Nigeria food was 2000cefa per plate. Most of the joints and bars are Nigerian owned. Prostitutes were igbo girls. I only met em at the joints oo

No make up or weave on for th e ladies...u will hardly even see a lady in trousers...very reserved.

Then motorbike is more than cars. Despite having good roods, u wil hardly see traffic...very few vehicular movements.

I live in PH.
Years back I used to pass through Benin by road on my way to Ghana. It's seems nice

I stayed a weekend and caught a Monday morning early flight to my destination.
Used ABC transport from Lagos...ikeja.
The immigration was part of the bus fare and the driver handled the stamping we did not need to come down from the bus..merely gave the driver our passports

I stay at Ota which is very close to Cotonu, i don't know if my passport can be stamped if I go alone because ABC transport is 48k. Meanwhile, I can actually cut that cost by going from Ota which is close to the border.

It should be. I was travelling and basically looking for a cheap ticket.

But I warn u..ain't nothing worth seeing that side of the border.
Cotonou will feeli like going back to 1995 ton199i Nigeria.

If you don't hear any French, ur best bet is that u atleast speak some yoruba. You will be hard pressed to find anyone that speaks even broken English well

I am looking at going to Cotonou for holiday sometime next year, but the reviews here made it look like it doesn't worth it.

Nice place, I stay in abomey and most naija girls into prostitution here are Yoruba girls, 85% of them that I met.
