Happy new month to everyone and I wish to thank God for his grace so far.

I have been a hustler for long trying to make ends meet and at a point I was able to save about 1.5million naira to travel to China but unfortunately I was duped and my hard earned money went to voicemail. I kept struggling and saving money to go to Europe but I was denied visa twice to two different countries and then I gave up.

I decided not to travel again but the stress and insecurity in Nigeria has been worrisome especially in my region so I decided to travel to any french speaking African country and just experience a whole new different life outside Nigeria. My initial plan was to go to Burkina Faso or Equitorial Guinea and I did some research that would guide me as I didn't know anyone in both countries and I was just determined to go on this adventure myself.

I saved up some money which got to almost 3 million naira and then I crossed my heart and made my trip. From Nigeria I crossed into Benin Republic and then to Togo where I was supposed to cross to Burkina Faso. On getting to Togo it was quite late so I had to pass the night in a cheap hotel of 2000cfa franc. In the hotel I met some Nigerians going to Ghana with some friends based in Togo. I was hearing their conversations as they drank at the bar while I sat alone with a bottle of their local beer Castle.

Being that in Togo I discovered they hardly speak English, I decided to introduce myself to those Nigerians so that I can make some enquiry from them and that was how we all got talking and gisting till late night. The guys based in Togo told me alot about Togo and how life is cheap if one has some capital to get accommodation and start a small business. I was made to understand there is steady light, water and security in the small country. The next day I was suppose to leave for Burkina Faso I decided to pay for the hotel room for a week and explore Togo a bit. The guys I met that were based in Togo already were really helpful and they took out time to show me around, know the prices of stuffs and where to buy cheap stuffs as well. I began to fall in love with the country except for the fact that most people don't understand English, though some try to understand and speak a little so you have to scatter the English for them to understand.

I decided to find a house and few days was enough for that. I got a room and parlor self contained house for 30,000cfa a month and paid a year which is 360,000cfa. They hold 6 months as deposit and after six months I start paying 30,000cfa monthly or anyhow I wish to stretch it based on my pocket. I just furnished it a little and I am just chilling with steady light on a brief. The house has a prepaid meter so I recharge and use according to my power.

After making some deep enquiry about what business to start at least for now, I bought a tricycle they call Apsonic here in Togo. It cost 1.4million cfa brand new plus the plate number registration and all. Then I found a driver who took it on hire purchase to balance 2.5million cfa at 25,000cfa per week.

My good people, I know I have not reached where I am going but I bless God for where I am coming from. Right now I just relax myself planning my next move while every Saturday I wait to receive my weekly salary. With life here if you are someone that knows how to manage, even 1000cfa can feed you a whole day so I am really doing my best to see how much I can save by the end of this year over here and know my next move.

Please you all pray for me as I also pray for you all. The journey of a thousand miles always start with a footstep.
please stay away from all kinds of girls if you want to save money. Back in the day, Togo used to be one of the countries I do my hustling from Kaduna to Lagos to Benin Republic and then Togo. Best of luck over there. Do not forget your Maker.

Nice one my brother but please be careful around those Abiriba guys at Aseye hedzranawoe and Togo ladies too.
Togo girls like Nigerians but their guys are jealous of us thus, always ready to attack at a slightest complain from their ladies. Lastly, French speaking Africans don't like English speaking Africans.

Woman na cheapest commodity for there but be careful and focused. Loads of Nigerians are already big fish over there via importation.

God bless you brother and I wish you best of luck.

What you guys don't understand is, Nigeria may be a better place to make more money than Togo but is your investment safe in Nigeria?

Many rich people have become poor overnight due to insecurities in Nigeria, look at end sars case, do you know some people are still trying to recover from their loss since that 2020, a case of burglary sef can happen n you can be killed without any trace.

I went to university in Benin Republic where I spent about 5 years( I started working after I was through with my studies). Life in Benin was really something great. If you're not the clubbing type, you will save a lot. Their economy is stable unlike ours here. French countries are really cool but I prefer my NAIJA anytime any day. NO PLACE LIKE HOME

I have tons of friends over there and they are really wonderful people. They are always happy to receive me to their homes whenever they hear I am around.

What I will just tell you OP is to be yourself and make friends with the Togolese ppl and you will enjoy your life to the fullest till you continue your journey to your desired destination

The guys I met that were based in Togo already were really helpful and they took out time to show me around, know the prices of stuffs and where to buy cheap stuffs as well. I began to fall in love with the country except for the fact that most people don't understand English, though some try to understand and speak a little so you have to scatter the English for them to understand.

I decided to find a house and few days was enough for that. I got a room and parlor self contained house for 30,000cfa a month and paid a year which is 360,000cfa. They hold 6 months as deposit and after six months I start paying 30,000cfa monthly or anyhow I wish to stretch it based on my pocket. I just furnished it a little and I am just chilling with steady light on a brief. The house has a prepaid meter so I recharge and use according to my power.

After making some deep enquiry about what business to start at least for now, I bought a tricycle they call Apsonic here in Togo. It cost 1.4million cfa brand new plus the plate number registration and all. Then I found a driver who took it on hire purchase to balance 2.5million cfa at 25,000cfa per week.

My good people, I know I have not reached where I am going but I bless God for where I am coming from. Right now I just relax myself planning my next move while every Saturday I wait to receive my weekly salary. With life here if you are someone that knows how to manage, even 1000cfa can feed you a whole day so I am really doing my best to see how much I can save by the end of this year over here and know my next move.

Please you all pray for me as I also pray for you all. The journey of a thousand miles always start with a footstep.
Mawu la kpo djiwo(ewe,LOME native language)God will protect you in english.

I see some people on here faulting this gentle man for making this move - a move to a safer country with better security, a country with constant electricity, a country with functioning amenities, such as water supply. Those three things alone are enough for most people to get out of Nigeria. However, it seems like some are contempt with Nigeria as it is. To me, this is a move in the right direction for OP. I certainly admire his bravery. Good luck man!
