Yoruba is actually one of Benin's ethnic groups. they make up more than 10% of the population. It used to be under the administration of the Oyo empire before its fall, However they have a different dialect

Thanks for revealing the state of that idiroko road.


That should be a lesson to the partisan bigots.... That no state or party is that good.

Obasanjo to Buhari to atiku to Jonathan to Sambo are all the same.

They are all tribal criminals. All of them.

Fact! cool

Nigeria is really backward in everything. So Benin has a seperate road 4 bike.
it has always been there bro. There is nothing to hail about the country, suffer dey there. Serious suffer . The countrys economy is dependent on nigeria and nigerians. The good thing about the place is, there is partial light. The electricity supply to residential homes are very OK. Any other thing na suffer.

I am very much surprised seeing the road in its present state, the last I passed through the border was in 2005 when I went buying a car there. still shocked seeing it in that state. Nigeria my beloved country has ....

its a low income country where majority of the people are into subsistence farming. The country makes money from its ports and cotton!! Nigerians are more dominant in the retail sector, does not make them so dependent on nigeria as u assume

I laugh when I see people comparing nigeria economy with benin republic or any other economy in west africa. People won't really value what they have until they lose it .

honestly, instead of them disturbing you, it's the driver that will bear the wahala.. and alas, you're in without passport nor proper means of identification

With moronic posts like this, I think its time Seun starts to screen out all this teenagers from commenting on nairaland. Maybe a section should be created for this small boys.

Yes I like Benin Republic. I Have an anticipated girlfriend there.
Could you kindly ask me how? This is what happen; earlier this year my Mum I mean my Sweat-Queen-Mum (Best mama) Traven to Benin. And spent couples of day or even weeks there. He told me of their Life, told me alot of them, but the only one that i got a surge of adrenaline (positively) was a girl called Bella my Mum told me how responsible she was, to the fact of helping my Mummy in her chores, Like cooking, fetching water, to mention few. And to save time from long narating, She told my Mum That she would like to live with my Mum! My Mum Would have took her along but she is scaring, as she can't say what could happen to her. And I asked her why cant she take her along, my sharp Mama get me and ask me do you want to marry her? But I just got shy from the question!
AND SINCE THEM HER LOVE IS SWIMMING IN MY HEART! Anyway I got Another anticipated girlfriend who is still in Primary 6 and her name Is Mary!

lol! Do you know what "subsistence farming" is ? the white sees Africa has a jungle, which is not literally true. But coming from an african man like you,you are thinking liking them. I do not think its all about subsistence farming. Besides , the benin rep I saw has some sense of civilisation.
