Oya! Move asap!

Escape Asap!

Be free Asap!

Go and live fresh life!

Based on logic:
Out of 100%

70% bussiness opportunities
15% Job opportunities for English Speakers
5% Freelance work
10% Idle (even if you are not doing anything the believe is you will still find something to eat and have access 24hr electricity and unlimited water )

Please make a space for your pen and Diary in your Bag so as to write as much as you can for others.

Once you integrate well I'll give you tips!

Thanks brother I really appreciate.

1year. French is not beans. Many people here don't speak good French. Unless you wanna learn a pidgin-like French in the street. Or you enrol in a school when you get here.

A big shoutout to all those who have contributed immensely to the growth of this thread. I have read through almost the whole 32 pages. I haven't seen anyone mislead or scam another person on this thread, it all been brotherhood and love. Even 2 page thread for Nairaland, them go still scam you.

I was looking to relocate to Osun state when I stumbled upon this thread. I have changed my mind; I think Abidjan will be ideal for me.

I have a few questions, some of which may have been directly or indirectly asked before. I just want to get current and specific answers on them.

1. Transportation

I was at Young Shall Grow ECOWAS park, Maza-Maza on Friday 15-09-2018 and below were the prices:
-N30,500 with passport
-N35,500 with virgin Passport
-N37,000 with ID card (voter's or national ID)
-N45,000 without ID
I was advised to have an extra N5,000 for Yellow card and other cross border stuffs.

My question is, are there any better alternatives (apart from Ejigbo)?

2. Cash Handling

Where will I change cash from naira to XOF?
How much is safe for me to carry in cash?
Can I use my ATM card in any bank along the border?


3. Housing and hotel

How much should I budget for a low cost hotel?
I intend to rent a furnished one-room apartment. How much should I budget?
Is it possible to get someone to host me (Flat share) or squatting pending the time I get a bigger apartment?

4. Jobs

I have a Freelance business that pays me about $100 (N30,000) weekly. I hope this income will be good enough to survive?


My entire travel budget is N150,000 and N50,000 is for transport. This leaves me with N100,000 naira to settle down. With this 100k and my weekly 30k, is it advisable to embark on this adventure?

Please advise me.
