Everyone is aware of you scammers ....nobody will call u..

Why did you have to call him that? Is 800k too cheap for 2004 Naija used camry or have you personally done business with him in the past and got scammed?
I am just curious

Mine was never issued. According to my school, results for my set never came. Headmaster referred me to the local government, went to the local government but the man I was referred to was never around in the office several times that I visited. I wish there will be a way I can go about it as I really need it

Something is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria and most African countries. Resignation is the best approach any leader needs whenever the masses don't want him/her again. But here, they cling to power like it was glued them from birth.

Proposals and unnecessary wastes in the name of marriage is for simps. Impregnate her and settle the necessary culturally then enjoy your home. Though personally, I am not against whatever anyone does as it suits one but imposing it on another man should be a crime

Such a beautiful lovely family with young parents. Imagine hanging out in the evening with such parents, happiest moments

Are borders open at the moment for human movement, I planned on bringing my daughter over there after the school session, sadly Covid-19 happened..

No, borders are still closed

Thanks for this,I have googled and actually like international demonstration school of Abidjan, sometimes what you see online is different from real life.
Do you mind if I send a pm?

Go ahead

MERCHANDISER:
Are you going there for business or job.
what are the opportunities prevalent there?

Going neither for business nor job. Just want to visit more African countries

LazyFolk:
Thank you.
I know I’m asking many questions oh, lol
But have and idea or an estimate on how much Abidjan to Dakar will cost?
I tried checking online to no avail

I will call Rimbo to get their charges. Quote me on Monday for an update

LazyFolk:
These are very valuable information, I’m deeply appreciative.
I’ll check out rimbo, and I still need more info on Abidjan to Dakar.
My trip is for early august, there’s still time oh.lol
Do you think I should open an Ecobank account or I can use another MasterCard and Visa card ?

You can make use of your Naira Master cards, though charges and exchange rates are always discouraging. If not for security, having cash would have been the best

LazyFolk:
Thank you so much for this information my brother, More Blessings for you!!!
I’ll take everything into consideration.
My other question will be towards transportation.
Do you know of any notable transport company (like our abc) that runs from Abidjan through to Dakar? It’s very important.
Plus it’ll be amazing if we could go to Dakar together.

From Abidjan to Darkar; I only know about Rimbo Transport located at Nouveau Gare Adjame. Honestly, I really wish we can go together. Since the day a friend here told me about his trips to Darkar, my mind has been there. He promised to give me some contacts to make things easier and I have a customer there too. But time is just my only problem because of business

MERCHANDISER:
what about yours

Feel free to ask me anything here. But if you feel that it's too private, send me a pm but I will not give my number(I have only business lines)

MERCHANDISER:
Are you still in Abidjan?can you help me with contacts of your friends in Abidjan preferably those into business

Yes, I am still in Abidjan. Contacts ; I am very sorry, can't get any

dep07:
Thanks, sorry I didn't specify,I was asking for primary schools .

Morning Glory, International demonstration school of Abidjan etc. Try do Google English schools in Abidjan. They are many but unfortunately, I can only remember the two up there

MERCHANDISER:
How is Automobile spare parts business in Abidjan.Do you know how much one can use to rent a house(cheapest single room in Abidjan)
What about shop rent,do you have an idea

Auto spare parts is a great business here.
House rent is highly expensive in Abidjan. Budget 35000Cfa- 100,000Cfa for a room depending on the area. Shop rent is the problem as shops are extremely expensive. Though depending on the area. You can get shops of 150k to 400k per month depending on the area. But most times, caution ranges from 1 million - 45million.

dep07:
Good morning @ roughdiamond.
Please can you help me with names of international schools within the range of 3 - 4k dollars per annum, English speaking.Also price of 3 bedroom where expats/ foreigners live.
Thanks and God bless.

I know of University of Abidjan, International University of Grand Bassam. Though that of Bassam exceeds $4k. Do Google both schools for more information. 3 bedrooms where expats live costs 400k-1.5mil Cfa. It largely depends on the area

willsonzzy:
Lagos to Abuja 8500 it's my first time oh can't wait to set my foot on my own capital, where nobody will be shouting kwasia on head Biko

This seems to be the major reason you want to relocate. All these Africans are pure racists against their own blacks. Too bad. Unfortunately, you have to face tribalism in Nigeria too.

LazyFolk:
Hey guys,
In August;
I’m planning to take a trip From Lagos to Abidjan, en route to Sénégal and then Cape Verde for a west African tour.
In Abidjan, I plan on spending 3-4 days in Abidjan, before moving to Sénégal with the same idea then Cape Verde.
My total budget so far for the trip is at 200 Naira. And the idea is to enter as much West African countries as I can (getting stamps) before I’m back.
Now my questions are:
1. I want to carry 100k cefa on my person from the 200 through the trip for miscellaneous (is that advisable) or should I leave all of it in the bank?
2. I plan on using Airbnb for my stay, is that okay or should I just go for a hotel?
3. Is there anyone planning on taking that route, we can go together?
4. Can I use an mtn sim from Nigeria throughout the trip(Abidjan and Dakar) or what do y’all think?
5. Lastly, is there anything I should know or any advice y’all can give me? I’ll be more than grateful.
I await your favorable response.

1. Have the 100k cfa with you (even possible, have all the money in your wallet. 200k Naira is just about few notes of 10k Cfa. But Bros, your budget is very small to cover the countries in mind. May not exceed Abidjan alone.
2. I don't know about Airbnb in Abidjan. But whatever type of accommodation you plan to use, try to book around 2plateau, Cocody or Assinie (Though Assinie is outside Abidjan but a great tourist destination).
3. Would have loved to visit Darkar with you but no one to look after my business.
4. You can make use of your MTN but very expensive. (100 Naira per minute).
5.Beware of microbes in Abidjan (Abobo&Yopougon mostly). Be conscious of pick pockets at most crouded places.
Feel free to ask more questions if you have. Quote me should you want me to contribute. Bon voyage

Though even Facebook and many other Apps have security issues too. But I don't trust anything Chinese with security. What am I even saying when I make use of a Chinese phone. Chinko unfortunately is taking over. Too bad

Congratulation on your graduation and service. Very sorry to digress, drop your certificates and hustle. Look for whatever legal you can do to feed yourself. It's highly unfortunate that our system doesn't support our dreams. If you interview 100 Nigerians, chances are that 70 are not practicing according to their dreams. Don't wait or waste your time applying for a job (unless you have someone to feed you), start anything legal that can feed you immediately.

Highly commendable. Nigeria is a great Nation with great people. Nobody should allow these racists talk us down.

Highly commendable.

"I want a new home"

sent you a Pm.

Engine picture please. Serious buyer

While in school 2012 precisely, a friend got connected to an admission seeker by his close friend. So he pleaded with me to help the girl process her admission. I was still on the process when he called one day that the girl is on her way coming to school and he would like she stays with me. I was confused and disappointed but just accepted. My room faces that of my landlady's directly and she hates visitors like mad. The girl spent the first week and the landlady instructed me to send her away as she can't accept a visitor. I tried all I could begging her but she refused. I refused to let the girl go too as according to her, she was tired of staying at home doing nothing. One day, I returned from morning mass and the landlady started shouting that I go to morning masses everyday but live with a girl in my room. Her voice went far reaching neighboring houses. It was highly embarrassing but I just laughed all through. The worst was when my friends searching for an accommodation came to stay with me while they continue with their search. The woman confronted them in my absence to leave her house but one told her that we were all brothers and they will be staying with me. I returned home and found the woman crying and calling her ancestors to help fight for her that I want to chase her out from her house. I met her and she quickly gave me back my rent to leave her house. I had to calm her down and talk to her. The drama continued till my graduation as I got many visitors (mainly female friends and sisters ) who attracted her attention. I never blamed her though, because she was limited to her environment. Still love her (Mama as I fondly called her) and must visit whenever I visit the school.

Lols. Water don pass garri. Am waiting for the new law on marriage in Anambra state lemme go and marry my Amaka.

Someone told me about Aguleri abi Umuleri in Anambra where marriage costs less than 100k. Was planning to visit for appropriate enquiry before Coro came. Maybe we work together Bro

Great welcome development. Unnecessary show off and excesses of the Igbos is just too much

The way Nigerians form "rich" online always make me wonder the citizenship of all these beggers littered all over the cyber space.
