nwadikeokey11: Kigali is a brilliant city I enjoyed every bit of it last time I visited l think l should visit again in August or September by God's grace. The country is so peaceful you can imagine a country where the commercial banks close at 8pm. Most of their shopping malls work 24 hours round the clock the city is so magnificent. Please only go their for tourism, business or Education. 15 Likes |

Kigali is expensive, yeah i mean very expensive. I came in last week Saturday, arrived at the Manor hotel and later left for Ikaze B&B hotel. The room I lodged at the manor hotel with my friends is $150 per night. You can’t even compare it to a 4 star hotel in Nigeria. Very wack service. Housing is very expensive. Me and my guys rented a 4 bedroom semi detached duplex in Umucyo estate for $1,000 per month that’s like 1 million RWF, so we paid $2,000 total ( 1 month caution fee) I know d stress we went through b4 seeing a landlord willing to collect 1 month rent. Most houses here don’t even have AC, their taxi is expensive. Yegocars or so is like Uber. Very expensive, data is expensive 10,000 RWF for 12GB on 4G damnnn. What I only like is their ladies haha, big bummmmm � 13 Likes |

There is a restaurant owned by an Igbo guy in Gicimanti or so, It’s called JOLLOF KIGALI, a plate of rice and chicken is $10... 10,000 RWF, with goat meat $12, pounded yam with goat meat $17. Omo the guy is in big money. Went to d supermarket yesterday and wine they sell 2400 naira in Nigeria is 11K RWF, socket of 5 phase is 11k, even cream Nivea men is 5,500. Bottle water like 1000 RWF. In short, Kigali is very expensive. 7 Likes |

Agape123:I said same here and some one refuted my claims. I'm currently in Lagos, so going by at least Lagos standard of cost of living, Kigali is not just expensive, but very expensive. Every thing there, including food and water, accomodation are damn too expensive. For feeding alone here in Lagos, 30k should be okay for me for a month but even 60k wont be enough for me in Kigali for one month. But i love the city shia. 7 Likes |

nwadikeokey11: I love it too, but the presence of police everywhere makes me sick haha. Rwanda is just like UK in terms of policing. I mean it’s a Police country, everywhere u c police, maybe they’re trying to prevent another genocide who knows. Then Kigali is clean they don’t use nylon here. KIGALI IS NOT EXPENSIVE BUT VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE. RWANDA AT LARGE |

I went to a liquor store and ended up buying nothing. Hennessy VSOP is 130,000 RWF lol, even Heineken smallest bottle is like 1,200 to 1500. Even four cousins of 2k in Naija is 12,000 RWF here. They don’t even have AC in most houses same with their cars, even car here na die. So I wonder why things are expensive there and their citizens are poor, who de buy those things. An iPhone 12 pro max is 1.6M RWF lol 6 Likes |

Agape123:Yeah, police and soldiers at every junction is ok, it is to prevent another genocide and also the possiblity of uprising and overthrow of Paul Kegame who has refused to allow the citizens some breathing space, but perpetuating himself in office as a life president of the country. Honestly I love the city of Kigali and I'm coming back to settle down there pretty soon. 1 Like |

Agape123:You know is a landlock country and they import every thing, so the development u are seeing there comes from foreign donors and tax. Tax over there is the reason for the hike in just about every thing. You have a government provided machine that business people use there, and u dare not drop it. U must use it so as to assertain how much u are making and the tax u must pay at the end of every month. |

Agape123:Even wen u go to a supermarket or grocery stores to get something and u parked ur car outside, a sticker will be placed on ur car bonnet and u dare not remove it and drive out. U must pay to d person that placed the sticker there before driving out. It's tax and it goes to the government purse. 1 Like |

pseudonomer:If I include accomodation, yes, $1000 a month may not even be enough, but it depends on the area u live and the type of food u are eating there. For instance, houses in some good, not even too great areas in KIGALI could go as much as $500 per a month, and food could go for $10 and more per a mill. Electricity, water, transportation are also very expensive too. So calculate all this and u know wat I mean. |

nwadikeokey11: I totally understand you but even at that, I think they have a wicked government cos these people are poor and the government imposes so much tax on them. I was talking to a lady at the liquor store today and she said if she has money for ticket, she’ll relocate to Nigeria. She told me the reason why the wine is expensive is cos they imported them. I laughed and told her do they produce Moët, Hennessy, four cousins, white Martin or jack daniels in Nigeria? Of course not we shipped them as well. So why are they super expensive here? So a Rwandese told me the government imposes 100% tax on imported vehicle In d country, but in Naija, d custom duty is just 30%. So if I buy a car of $1000 and I ship to Rwanda I’ll be paying a total of $2000 minus shipping whereas in Nigeria it would be $1300. Everything is crazy here so a venza that sells for 5m in Nigeria would be around 12m naira here. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

I love this thread but trust me Rwanda is not expensive compared to Cairo or capetown I think Rwanda is cheap The only cheap thing in Cairo is rice ,cow meat bottle water ,I won’t talk of Cape Town with the fvcking very high monthly house rent Speaking from my little experience I hope to visit Rwanda one day ,with the way you guys have narrated I think it’s a very peaceful and lovely place 4 Likes 1 Share |

nwadikeokey11: One person said, you’d get a room for like $100 per month. If a studio apartment cost more than 500$ a month in Kigali, then it should be in categories of New York, Berlin, Paris, London. I don’t know why electricity and water should cost more 150$ a month in Kigali. If you’d not survive 1000$ per month in Kigali, how does their locals survive? What’s the minimum wage in Kigali. If what you’re saying is valid, then Rwanda should be considered a rich country. I was think of going to Kigali, like after lockdown with a budget of €1000 for like 3weeks. And I was hoping to go to clubs and bars sometimes. Thanks for the head-up, I will delete the city from my list. 4 Likes 1 Share |
