Senegal ( 5 months) :
The best west Africa for me, 90% Muslims nation but you wouldn't even know. You can slap a Soldier in Senegal no problem but do that to police officer and be ready for 4 months in Jail.
Apart from Dakar, the other areas are not much developed
NB:
Dakar is so nice but Igbo boiz has made Senegalese police to be targeting Nigerians.
They believe all Nigerians are Scammers becos that what most Nigerians in Senegal do for living.
Churches have so many programs for Scammers and vigil to help them see Magas.
Don't be surprise when you see Europeans travelling with you inside the Bus o Oooh even within the city



Niger Rep (4 months):
Nothing much diff from Northern Nigeria but Alcohol is legalized and the country own more than 4 brewery companies.
Friday's night na Club but the ladies are Nigerians.
Igbos and Yorubas girls has Oloshos


Sierra Leone ( 3 weeks):
Are you looking for easy to fuvk girls?
Sierra leone are the cheapest girls to bleep cos just buy a plate of food for them and it is finish but mehn those chicks get unbelievable ASS and they will fuvk your soul out .
Dogg style
The only food in that country is Rice and Cassava.
Every soup is around Cassava leaves shocked shocked

Guinea ( 4 days)
Those chicks over there are the most beautiful ladies in the whole West Africa. They like Nigerian guys becos of what Igbo guys are doing over there.
Once the police see a Nigerian? Money don come.
They will hold you at every check point as a Nigerian and you must pay.
The road from Mali to Guinea and from Guinea to Senegal are the worst roads, I have ever seen in my life.
Worst currency in West Africa.
3K = 270K grin
I and my friend ate rice and full Chicken and everybody was looking at our plate.

Me : How much is our bills?
Seller: 26K (I will never forget)
We : Jeus Christ, wahala dey oooooh
Seller: Its even cheap self compare to other places
We: We thought, it's was Naira but it's was useless Guinea Franc
We: Ooh 26k Guinea Franc, that's less than #1200 grin grin
We order for more Chicken and beer joor




Benin Rep (All together 1 month)
Not much fun
Same like Nigeria

Togo (2 days )

Ghana ( Just 2 days)

Burkina Faso( 1 day)

Mali ( 3 days)
That's country is too big
Travelling within the country takes days
Haba


NB: About West Africa including Nigeria
If you have money to do business then no problem but if you don't
God is your strength cheesy cheesy
Planning to visit Cape Verde but my wife is coming with me angry angry angry
Can't check out those Cape Verde chicks



I will like to relocate to Senegal. Please, I need contacts of trusted people I can stay with pending the time I get myself familiarized with the environment.

I am a graduate. I am self employed. And I am comfortable financially. So, I would absolutely be responsible for my feeding and everything needed in terms of finance.

All I need is a place I can stay till I get my own rented apartment.


Thanks.

If you want to survive in Senegal, you have to learn French or Wolof. That is the very first step. If you do not speak conversational French, you will find it very hard. You will hardly find English speakers there. The only English I ever spoke there was at Blaise Diagne airport with the immigration guys. From then on, it was French all the way. I remember helping one Alhaji who lives in Abuja buy food at the airport. I had to translate for him because he knew not a word in French, and the girl serving food knew not a word in English.

Buying food: French. Buying Orange credit, French. Entering taxis and going to places, French. Heading to Ngor Islands or Goree Island? French. Of course, heavens help you if you cannot count in French. You will be dashing your money to sellers once they decode your language deficiency.

The only Nigerians I met in Senegal when I was there were young, brash Igbo guys with all their bling bling. While some are doing business, some are also into some shady stuff. So I really do not know where you will see the "trusted" guys you speak of.

I think the first step is for you to focus on acquiring some language proficiency before you step out. Air Peace now has a direct flight from MMAI via Accra and Banjul. So good luck in your quest. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Add Gabon to your next trip. Gabon remains one of the cool country u will meet lot of Nigerians working legally with lot of investments.

It's really cool to travel around and see things if one has the money. Travelling is interesting kiss


Nice experience, I look forward to visiting more African countries just as you highlighted.
Please as a Nigerian do you need VISA to cross the land boarders of Senegal, Guinea, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc
Re: What ECOWAS Countries Have You Visited? How Do They Compare To Nigeria? by Bullman(m): 10:50am On Jan 29, 2021
Many Nigerians are seeking greener pastures these days and with the issue of visa denials and inability of everyone to use an agent, maybe some african countries could offer solutions.

So for those who have visited or live in ECOWAS member states, come in and share your experiences. How do those countries compare to our fatherland in terms of:

Living standards,
Security,
Employment opportunities,
Cost of living,
Business, etc.

For those who have experience with non-ECOWAS states as well, you can chip in your contributions. Thank you.


I am a Nigerian but i grew up in the gambia
Truth is there's no country in the whole of africa with so much wealth as Nigeria
But money isnt everything
In the gambia living standard is quite okay you dont have to be earning six figures to be comfortable , food is really cheap housing is similar to lagos u pay monthly house rent no yearly , depends on your agreement with your landlord
Security is top notch far far better than d nonsense we have in Nigeria. Yes there r petty crimes but never heard or seen someone that was robbed n was injured in d process most thefts r probably pocket picking not at gun point.
Omor employment the gambia isnt measurable to Nigeria. If you wana start a business you will make it long as u understand d market d currency dalasi has more value than naira.
Easy to start a business but u must register it too best place to set up is serekunda its d most populated city in the gambia
But truth is you have more chances of becoming wealthy in Nigeria compared to any other african country. NIGERIA get this pressure that drives u out of your comfort zone because your comfort zone is where your dream dies..
I love my little gambia the smiling coast.
