Am already processing my international passport and by the special grace of god am leaving Nigeria for either ghana or ivory coast before the year runs out, I have two friends based in ghana and ivory coast and both of them are doing very well business wise, I started my business with a higher capital compared to theirs but today, I have not achieved half of the things they've achieved, the reason is because Naira has no value, image using 4 years savings to build 4 bedroom flat
Ghana and Ivory Coast would be good for Bedroom Operated Bureau De Change via Banks in any of those Nations.

Do you know about what I am talking about?

What do you mean by your last paragraph?
EDUECO:
I'm against relocating to countries that are just like Nigeria!

If you're tired of your current state or city in Nigeria,just relocate to a better one!!

English/Pidgin English and Population advantage is lacking in Benin Republic,Togo and Ivory Coast.

Re: Relocating To Benin, Togo Or Ivory Coast? by Love800(m): 11:02am On May 08
So, do you still stay in ivory coast?
APOSTLECHUMA:
Abidjan is the most beautiful city in west Africa but the country is too expensive to live in. If you enter Abidjan. With 10,000 USA dollars, before you know it, you will be begging for taxi money to go out and Hussle for what to eat. Whites from different parts of Europe are there as if it is their country and they make things expensive. Lebanese people are also there operating retail shops as if they are in Beirut. Due to the high cost of living there, 95% of Nigerians there are either into cocaine business or fraud. If you are going for business, think Cotonou, or Togo. I lived in Cotonou a year and half before moving up to Ivory coast where I lived 5 years and was frequenting south America from there, before I was arrested by God.

Meti99:

Ghana
Kenya
Mozambique
South Africa
Zambia
Rwanda
Egypt.

But as you wan relocate go these countries, forget any social service works, forget private or public institution works, just prepare your money to run businesses or have a good hand work you can take survive
Re: Relocating To Benin, Togo Or Ivory Coast? by Love800(m): 11:13am On May 08
Is like the cost of living is high in togo?
Macdeey:
First of all , just know that the Naira is really down now , if you have 1 Million Naira, you can not get 500k CFA .
A Simple single room ( NOT self-contained ) in a good area is more than 10 k per month. ( Togo )
Business wise Togo is like any other African country.
But if you have enough money to rent a shop and do motor cycle spare parts business , you will make it.
There are many Igbos doing the spear part business.
Clothing is a bit slow now but you can still check it out with the Igbos at the Assiyeye Market.
Generally Togo is a peaceful country.
I didn't mention some other business because the Zarma people from Niger Republic control most of the business in Togo !
If you are an Igbo man , you can go into Nigeria Igbo food business.
I was in Togo before relocating to Ghana .
Even Ghana is not easy !
NOTE . Some landlord don't like renting house to Nigerians especially young guys. Just like in Accra . Because they always complain that if you rent a room to one person, the person will now bring many friends to stay together.😎😎😎

Can i start a snacks business(meat-pie, fishpie, sausage roll, doughnuts, eggroll, chin-chin), if i relocate there?
Macdeey:
You can get a small shop in a very good location for 15 to 20 k monthly for one year RENT.
For the capital. If you work with the Igbo dealers, you can start with 200 to 300 k .

. I don't know of Tanzania but Ghana is not that easy , especially if you are a Nigerian . House rent is something else, even the Ghanaian are not immune to the house rent wahala.
Ivory coast is a very expensive city to live in . House rent is very expensive. Benin House rent is all most the same with Togo.
But in all Togo is more foreigner friendly ! Peaceful and Free of stress being a foreigner.

Just want to know why you are against someone going to those countries.
My reasons why I am against migrating to those 3 countries are:
1.Economy: Ivory coast has the biggest economy out of the 3 countries. Nigeria has bigger economic opportunity than Ivory Coast
2.Language Barrier: The language used in the 3 countries is French.
3.Migration To A Developing Country: The 3 countries are developing countries. It always better to migrate to a developed country like USA or Canada
Re: Relocating To Benin, Togo Or Ivory Coast? by bull67: 6:14pm On May 08
I don't know why Nigerians are not talking about Cameroon here. Its visa free for 90 days. There are lots of opportunities in business too. They speak both French and English has official language. Its much bigger country than benin and togo combined. It nearly has a population to Ghana. It also has two great cities with a population of over 2 million in 2 cities..
