At seme,firstly you need to be very careful as construction work is on going at the border so both coming in and out is on the same lane,a lot of hoodlums disguising as officials abound...... you pay 200 naira in Nigeria side and 500 in Benin.at hilakondji. its still 300cfa each on both Benin and Togo side.

I can just use a bike guy I used the last time right?


Bike guys when well tipped direct people well... Or that was my experience

caprini1:
I feel your pain bro.....especially when you are been harrased to pay and you see French speaking ECOWAS citizens just brandishing that their yellow laminated national ID cards ,and walk thru majestically.

But Nigerian immigration also deals ruthlessly with these Francophones too.

I still remember what those immigration guys did to the Beninoise and Niger people. I cringe when I think of it

allthingsgood:
Hmm...not to the government. more like individuals in the govt. All the same they must be exposed. Govt can not act on rumour or NL post. Someone has to be brave enough to expose the thieves

But when the government officials are benefiting from it......

You expect them to act?
These borders here are even nice, when you get to Elubo )Border between Ghana and CIV) Nigerian passports are opened with 10000CFA we pay the highest.

The border between Ghana and Burkina is another one

Anyways lemme not start talking much before painful memories start coming into my head.

caprini1:
old passports-Seme 500 naira,new passports- almost 3000 naira,....hila kondji,old passports - 600 CFA,new passports 2000 naira.....Aflao Togo side,old passports about 4000cfa,new passport about 5000cfa...AFLAO Ghana side. old passport,10 CEDI's,new passport about 30 CEDI's(varies).

Thank you very much.


When I used my passport to cross last year, they called it virgin passport even with the airport stamps and visa in it.


I protested and it was of no use. So I paid 3200 at two ends of the border plus health whatever (those guys that check immunisation cards) and passport control.

It was crazy.

So pls, is N500 and 600CFA for both sides of the border and Seme and Hillakondji?

caprini1:
Na bro....am always on that route even to Ghana,at hila konji (benin togo border) u only pay 100 bucks equivalent with your passport,but Seme is unbearable....same with Aflao(togo ghana border)the togolese immigrations will take equivalent of 1k from u.

Do you have an idea on current prices at the border?

Thanks

Solitin40:
Same question i wanted to ask i hope you are not planning to migrate to Spain or Italy through the sea if yes i rest here

Well.... You have a point.That journey can be hard if you don't have enough money, or you don't speak French

ArchiPelago1:
C'est la vie

C'est vrai, mais C'est triste.

tivta:
The frustration in the country is really making the less fortunate to hate the rich, sorry folks that won't stop the rich from being rich, I just wonder how the frustrated people here will feel if the follow Floyd Mayweather on instagram. Hate not your fellow human but celebrate with him so that the same spirit of success will reach you, too many people have PhD (pull him down)...

You get sense..... Thumbs up

charlesucheh:

donk552:

*sips dogonyaro and aki awusa

Are you serious

MrKontrovErsy:
with this comment i can now tell that u are a yoruba
i am hundred percent sure!..and dont ask me how i found out

Yoruba in your dreams. So the Ugo in my moniker is a Yoruba name, and I have been on nairaland with this moniker for close to 5 years,


Pls don't assume what you don't know

Etern:
You should be aware that the average age of these kids commenting here is 17 years. They know very little without good home training. Imagine insulting someone you cannot see. You cannot throw a stone into the market it could hit your mother!!

I agree

Krismart:
There is oil in the west especially Lagos and Ondo state and exploration is ongoing in the North (chad basin). Why not leave the south south and south east to drink their oil since the west and north oil can sustain d country

Which kind of talk is this one?

Marlbron:
What kind of stupid news from yellow journalist is this? Is it by force to devalue the naira? Even as it is the naira has been devalued from 150 to 199. What has happened? What has devaluation done for Nigeria other than to increase inflation? Once you devalue, fuel cost and everything goes up!

We have a two tier forex system. That system has limited inflation so far. It will be worse if we devalue further.


The only thing I oppose is allowing Dangote to buy forex for his refinery and factories abroad at government rates. Large investments like refinery should be net forex inflows not drains on our pockets. Why should Nigeria cough out scarce forex for one man to build his factories in different parts of Africa? Are we all working for Dangote?

I appreciate your point; and I understand you.. But you have to understand that this two tiered system does not work very well And as for Dangote, I agree 100% with your submission

emi14:
The oil in Niger Delta is for one Nigeria but the new exploration in Lagos is for Lagos alone. People have started hate and tribal issues because crude oil is found in Lagos. Good for development. I don't really believe that conscience still exists. Am not Deltan, but how do you actually want them to feel, are they fools? Let's stop these feud. Nigeria is one sovereign state and every crude is for one Nigeria.

By law; the oil pumped from Lagos is going straight to Abuja for sharing, and they would get 13% derivation from it.


Na one Nigeria we be, let us share the money

MrKontrovErsy:
what concerns igbo with this?
did i mention that i'm igbo?
pls shut up ur mouth and dont drag me into ur yoruba igbo madness.
i just made my comment based on hat i noticed as som1 who has spent a lot of time in yorubaland and u
bt if u are really igbo then u no get sense with this kinda comment...thats why they keep cheating u guys in everything.
no unity....

Oga, I grew up in Lagos, and was born in Lagos too, so don't tell that trash.

Maybe you are not Igbo, and I made a wrong assumption of your tribe, but the truth must be told. People cheat not because of their tribe, but by their choice.

Why do black men always ascribe behaviours to tribe?

MrKontrovErsy:
Whether he took drugs or not, the truth still remians that 90% of yorubas marriages are bad.
bcoz their marriage involves cheat and home voilence....... unfortunately everybody heard abt tiwa and tbillz own bcoz they are celebs.
i aint hating but i'm talking from experience of relatives and non relatives who married yoruba.

not all of them though but MAJORITY of them cheat...i dont know why.

And you think they cheat because they are Yoruba?

I'm an Igbo guy, and I dare say that from what I have seen, Judging by your logic, Igbo marriages are not any better.


The moment you realise that cheating is due to personal choice, not because of tribe, the better

manmind:
That's my beautiful city...... Ipod yoot and haters will soon full here

Nothing concern IPOB yoot for this thread na

WeNigerDelta:
To those saying the militants are further degrading our environment...Over 10,000 oil spills has happened in the Niger Delta, how many was cause by militants? And those profiting from it have they bothered to clean up jack?
To those asking what our governors have done with 13%, we know they are thieves and don't hide it. What have y'all done with our 87% you share to yourselves...We have been to places like Texas and seen what have been done with less than what we have.
To those saying the regular Niger Deltan don't support this. The attacks have taken place so far in Warri Southwest, have you heard anything from the Olu of Warri or Pere of Gbaramatu?
Have you been to our villages and creeks to even see the rot of the place that has fed y'all for decades now. You ingrates....As long as your brothers get cushy offshore jobs and are flown in with choppers you could care less...
To those saying they should shut oil production down and find other means of revenue...Please God in heaven should make that happen, that's our prayers. We will wait for our allocation and give y'all 13% since you think that's good enough...
We have fed the nation for long enough, give us full resource control. It is our God given right...

But you know in addition to 13% the SS still gets revenue from the remaining 87%.; making the Niger Delta the region that collects the highest allocation in the country.

Just letting you know.

scholes0:
Please, evacuate every multinational from their land.
Close down the oil companies, let every part of Naija go back to Agriculture and solid minerals, let us see who will beg.

Oga nobody will beg.


All regions in this countty is blessed with abundant potentials. Exploiting them will even pay each regionord than the present arrangement

oduastates:
yep.
Just to show how useless the country is.
People do not pay taxes.
Most do not pay utility bills
Nigeria does not make anything significant for export even though, she has everything to make it happen
( kaduna state has only 540, 000 people paying for electricity in spite of a 8 million population claim).
This is replicated through out the country.

Very true

oduastates:
Buhari should Just shutdown the entire industry and completely write off oil as a source of revenues.
Ambode and all SW governors should ban okada,street trading and shutdown all non tax-paying business.
Only this attitude will move the country forward.
Too many people are engaged in unproductive activities and I consider oil as an unproductive activity because the only thing it does is to distort the economy.
A few are feeding fat while rest suffers.it has bred complacency and a lack of initiative.
Leaders who keep running after foreign investment while there are local youth already showing the initiatives.
Make it difficult so as to make people to start returning to their farm and rural areas.
No benefit of that industry to anybody.
Send the military over to the Creek for Sambisa training.
They now have a live fire range to practice before deployment to sambisa.
No decent Niger-deltan (emphasis on decent)that I know can tolerate these criminals.
Why?
because they more than anyone,are the major victims of the criminals masquerading militants and leaders.

For the first time I agree with you

7lives:
Get your facts right, when Europe was in recession your country was selling crude oil at high price, believing that the party will not stop.

That is wrong... .. Stop talking about what you don't know.

Oui prices hit rock bottom during the recession. Get your facts right

bulldoza:
USELESS CLUELESS BUFFON


SELFISH. GOAT.

HE ONLY SENT ND PEOPLE


THANK GOD HE WAS KICKED OUT.


SAI BUHARI.

Didn't Hausa people favour their own people for more than 30 years they were in power?

ItzChinnex:
which of your people are you talking about? some people sha better change your name to what you are.... mistakenly go to KANU and let one igbo man kill a single Hausa man, they won't matter if you are a Yoruba or igbo, as far as they sight you as not been one of them, they will slaughter you. keep supporting them. patriotic citizen. rubbish.

So tell me what you mean by changing my name to who (not what) I am?

Somebody cannot express his opinion again.

nightmile:
Dont mind your people! Its because they are comfortable in Yoruba land and when they start to run from the north 90% will still rundown to Yoruba land. How can a wise man hate someone without whom you can't survive.

I appreciate your comment, but to say that the Igbo people cannot survive on its own is a pure FALLACY.

The Nigerian state is interdependent, and one region cannot boast of standing in its own WITHOUT being worse off.

Any region can survive on its own, but it will be worse off.....

The Nigerian state is a perfect match, it's just ethnic and religious differences that is the headache here.

When tribalism ends, and that feeling of superiority among certain ethnic groups that others cannot do without them, then this country will9ve forward.

Thank you

DjValency:
this my cousins acct of the ideal, he was there


the clash started when an
Hausa cattle rearer allegedly
stabbed an Igbo man after
some slight quarrel, this led
to anger among the Igbo
people who saw what
happened.
They killed two Hausa men
at the spot, others
scampered to the nearest
police station, as the
slaughter boys chased them
with machetes and
cutlasses.
The young Igbo man who
was stabbed by the Hausa
man, was reported to have
died some moments later as
he was stabbed frm back to heart,
the news of his death made
the slaughter boys to
organize and head to
Mosque street Aba,the Hausa community
in Aba has been deserted
over what they feared as
bigger reprisals by Ogbor Hill
slaughter boys.There is chaos
everywhere, from St.
Michael's Aba we didnt know
what happened, all we saw
were group of people, some
on foot and inside bus
heading towards Mosque,
with dangerous weapons, I
have to run very far because
even the security men could
not stop them and there were
gun shots everywhere

My only problem is...... Why kill the other Hausa guy that had nothing to do with the stabbing. It is one person that was stabbed, why were two people killed?


My people cheering this don't know the repercussions of this

feyisan:
I will implore you youths of nowadays to listen to your parents and never be fooled by western culture (if they have one) and negative civilisation. Parents were not born yesterdays. You gain experience with time. Many parents have gone through life in the hardest way. If you intend to learn through your own personal experience, fine, but you might need a life time to be as wise as most elderly ones. Please be cautious and respectful and make use of the wisdom of your parents. A word they say is enough for the wise.

What do you mean by western culture, and what do you also mean by if they have one?

Pls explain before I give my opinion

Nigerians just tire me.....

What does violence solve? SMH
