@youngsahito,life in Cotonou is OK.If u wanna migrate here ,u got to have a plan of what u are coming to do because there is no job for most of their people let alone a foreigner.you have to know what u want. Why u are coming and as such be financially capable.Also,u have to understand a little Yoruba which u can use in communication as they understand a little,then as time goes on u got to learn French which is the official language.In terms of living standard,life here is cheap ,Accomodation is considerably affordable depending on your pocket.There is better light and water supply as oppose to what is obtainable at home naija.The place is peaceful and secured,no kidnapping,major stealing or robbery attack or assault of any kind unless u fall into their trouble .Business wise, there are a lot of things to do here to make money.If u have your pali ,u can make a descent living here and be happy.I think I have answered your question.
