Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 7:04pm On Jan 28, 2016 |
unclephilio123:From seme boarder, enter taxi that is shouting "LOME", its #4000 cefa, and its 4hrs drive from seme boarder. when you are getting to the boarder between cotonue and togo, the name is Alaconji boarder, the taxi would stop before the boarder and all passengers would come down and walk pass the boarder for checking. when you reach the boarder, give then 500cefa , then cross and walk straight across the boarder, because your taxi would be waiting for you people after the boarder. then you walk and join your taxi which would now drive straight to togo. 1 Like |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 7:06pm On Jan 28, 2016 |
unclephilio123: For getting your passport stamped at Alaconji boarder, you pay like 5000cefa |

Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 12:36pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
unclephilio123: Yes, when you reach seme boarder, go to their office, tell them you want to open you passport or you say stamp your passport. But from idi iroko would have been the best option. for the transportation to togo boarder, from across seme boarder, cotonue side, you will see cabs going to Lome, join those cabs. |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by unclephilio123(m): 11:19pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
zhukafa:Sir,I dnt mind getting d descriptn of travelling via idi iroko to Togo as u said it is d best option..How can I get to idi iroko frm lagos?I nid d descriptn sir 1 Like |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 9:37am On Feb 04, 2016 |
unclephilio123: From oshodi under bridge, get a bus going to "Sango". when you reach sango under bridge, cross to the other hand side , ask for buses or taxi's going to "Owode idiroko". they would stop you at the boarder. Then you can now go to the custom office and get you passport stamped, since you want to stamp your passport. 3 Likes |

doyinisaac: do you know how to read and write french, if yes, then you will be needing some documents which you also have to get from you school. But i would prefer you use the Nigerian bank at seme boarder. no need for the stress of opening an account. |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by doyinisaac(m): 11:44pm On Feb 04, 2016 |
zhukafa:so whenever I need money directly from my bank I will just have to cross the seme border?? |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by zhukafa(m): 9:00am On Feb 05, 2016 |
