You have to understand that the west African CFA which you are referring to is different from the CFA the poster is using which I believe is centra African CFA

With due respect let me enlighten you a little

There are two types of CFA in use in Africa:

1. The west African CFA with ISO code "XOF" and issuing authority being "BCEAO" which is in circulation in about eight African countries

2. The central African CFA with ISO code "XAF" issuing authority is "BEAC" which is in circulation in about 6countries.

You dare not spend Cameroon CFA in Benin Republic, it's practically impossible.

Hope this helps
Knowledge is like onyx, one digs deep to get it

EDGEof2MORO:
you do realise west african CFA (like one of you posted a screeshot of) is different from central african CFA? right? I mean the man that did the exchange physically is telling you what happened in front of him and you in your bedroom are doubting. c'mon now

FULL disclosure: I was also confused when OP shared how much CFA he got at the exchange. Someone's post here reminded me we are talking about Central african CFA. I expected the poster that "researched" to put up a screenshot to at least see that there is more than one CFA on the currency exchange rate table.

Me wey wan travel from Nasarawa to Adamawa d fear....come see dis one now

Angelfrost:
Used to enjoy traveling across Naija and neighboring countries during and after my Youth service.

Those that have never travelled would never understand the thrill, fun and education of embarking on such journeys.

Sadly, Insecurity and Terrorism severely damaged and dampened my love for travelling in this country... Such a shame!!!

I know friends that narrowly escaped death while on such "tourism"... Others were not quite fortunate.



...It's a real shame what the beautiful nation and even continent have become badly reduced to due to Politics of terrorism.


Growing up back then, traveling was a must for anyone serious about understanding and learning... It is a proper form of education.


Shocking to know there are a lot of men and women in Nigeria that have never visited or stayed in more than 2 cities in their country... Smh!


Some of you even brag about being local champions in Lagos, Abuja, Benin, etc... Una no just dey shame.

EDGEof2MORO:
so you are a prisoner in Lagos? poor you

One wrong move, being at the wrong place at the wrong time could changed his dream that he's living. He's taking too much risks. Over what exactly?

Onlinefarmstore:
Dear NL members it's been a while I wrote about my travels (my sincere apologies) been busy with life....Nysc etc and the devastating losses I encountered. To bring you people to speed i have travelled SA, Namibia, Ethiopia and other countries since I last posted. Today I will be starting a new journey to South Sundan from Maiduguri via Cameroon and chad.


Follow up as I will be posting my life updates gradually.

EDGEof2MORO:
you can not even estimate the number of people using mobile phone service subscriber count. Some people have more than 5 registered phone numbers. Some mobile numbers are registered to devices e.g. vehicle tracking software. Some of us have never owned a mobile device

Nigeria is not up to 200 million. That number is around 100 million or less

MeezPat:
Either the central African or West African Cefa are not up to this please. The XOF and the XAF are almost at par. Therefore, I still maintain that 2000XOF or XAF cannot be 25000 naira

ravensckar:
Nasarawa to Adamawa too far for me!

My grandma died, I didn't attend her funeral because of the fear of travelling. When my wife's grandma died afterwards, nobody bothered to stress me because they knew I wouldn't travel.

Even to travel home for Sallah, I no dey try am.

I used to enjoy travelling before, but insecurity and all the unpalatable stories have made me detest it. 7 years running, I never comot for Lagos.

Here's someone living his dream!

Kingsasian:
that no be journey na. Me wey dey travel from Warri to Taraba on a steady nko. I reside in Taraba for now

KingAzubuike:
See as north empty. Reminds me of my journey to so many northern states many years ago. Most part of the north is so empty, arid and large you just begin to wonder how these people became so power hungry and how they manage to have this born to rule mentality. Like you wonder where the hell they came from among those emptiness. Road travel is so much fun tho

Zinpat:
Currently there's genocide in Sudan. Try and be safe.

Kalulu44:
Lolz! Angelfrost be calming down. That's why I love my former job driving. It has taking me to almost all part of Naija except northern states.
And also our neighbouring West Africa countries of Togo, Benin and Ghana

Onlinefarmstore:

adeniyi65:
Are you a Chad citizen or Nigerian living there?

ThankUUJesus:
what's his Instagram name

Angelfrost:
I dey calm, Boss...!

Just no understand why graduates will be so comfy sticking around their 'Papa house'.

Some people have lived for years in states that they never visited at least 2 LGAs even close to their cities.

That's why a lot of Nigerian youths have little to no idea about the state or happenings in their country apart from the half-truths being dished out by their news media.

abeylevels:
Hi, @MeezPat, please I sent you a PM.
Thanks

ravensckar:
Yes, he's taking risks. Over what? His personal happiness.

If there's any one thing I've learnt about life; it's that it's unpredictable. No one can tell what will happen in a few hours time.

Better to live it to the fullest.

Make I burst your bubble, some people never travelled, never drank alcohol, never womanized, never smoked, always do exercise and the likes. Yet, they didn't live till old age. Wetin kill them?

I really envy the OP, I just wish I had the guts to do what he's presently doing. Fear no go let me try am.
