Hello bro, I just came across this post as I was actually intending to create a thread about the same topic. I noticed the thread is actually old and I have some questions about Cotonou that I'd really appreciate if you can help out. I am thinking of going to Cotonou to stay for 3 months with my wife just to change environment. I stayed in Cotonou in the past but I'm interested to know how things are now.

1) How much is rent per month? I remember that one can pay rent monthly as opposed to the 2years that is enforced on us here in Nigeria

2) What is the current exchange rate?

3) Are their data plans cheap and reliable?

4) What Nigerian banks are available ther? I run accounts with GTbank and Diamond bank and it will be nice to have access to money from over there.

5) If you stay there, I wouldn't mind keeping in touch till I'm ready

Sorry for the epistle, your answers will be most appreciated.

Thank you

Dear Ma,

How are you and how was your holidays? Is good to see you back in office and kudos for your assistance and support to perspective students.

My ink may sink so deep but am to inform you on the current situations on ground ranging from visa process to arriving and studying in IPB.

No doubt about IPB being among the top ranking schools in Portugal making more application to flood in day in day out but it is worrisome when perspective student dream become nightmare.

I’m overwhelmed with emotions of the experience some students coming to IPB Braganca were currently facing at the Portuguese Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria.

Nigeria Government decided to kick against the practice, where its citizens are treated without any dignity over visa applications in their own country.

IPB as a learning and training institute needs more friends than enemies these days, they need talent and genius. If in the final analysis Nigerians are made to be maltreated when it comes to visa issuance without IPB interceding on their behalf, then we watch out for race difference and biasness.

It is necessary for IPB to call Portugal Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria in to order to ensure the dignifying treatment of all applicants irrespective of their nationalities.

The respect Nigerians have for Portugal will be a thing of the past if they realize that Portuguese Immigration Office (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria; only say the word and ignore the doing of the word of not treating applicants equally irrespective of race and religion. Nigerians have gone through enough at Portugal Embassy in Abuja that my opinion of Portugal seems to be changing substantially.

A Nigerian perspective student to IPB was denied visa which he has watertight cases, adequate documents and enough funds than you will find in the bank account of an average Portuguese, but still he was denied with no reason.

I am not oblivious of the fact that the conduct of some visa applicants at home and abroad has greatly contributed in making the Portugal Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja to be harsh on Nigerian visa applicants.

Moreover, neighborhood Cameroonians applicant applying through Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria also contributed to the harsh on visa applicants by absconding against the purpose of their travel visa once they get to Portugal. These should not be an avenue for making someone sin to be someone punishment. Remember, we cannot compromise the fact that people are not sinner but we can be sin-less.

Perhaps, these can be brought to the bearest minimum by introducing a systematic method in which applicants will be subjected to paying part payment of their tuition fee or full tuition fee prior before getting visa. No sane one will pay such amount of fee and abscond from the purpose of his/her studying when he/she travel to Portugal.

I am making plea to IPB to stand on their feet and save us from the trauma applicants coming to IPB were facing at Portuguese Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Nigeria.

We recognize your effort as the International Relation Officer and IPB in all but notwithstanding; we need your coalition this time around.

Thank you.
