Ur info ve been really helpful. Wat I want to ask is where at d boarder will ur passport be stamped and how much do dey pay. Pls gurus in d house help |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by unclephilio123(m): 11:56pm On Nov 28, 2016 |
peptual:So sorry for answering you a bit late Madam.Immediatly u drop or align frm d vechincle that brought you frm Lagos(Mile 2)to Seme boarder....you wil see d Nigeria/seme boarder,just go straight dnt enter Okada or vesper so far u want ur passport stamped.U wil see some Nigeria immigratn officers in uniforms inside a kiosk,they wil even call u,on ur way going.Don't panic,coz they can't do u anything.Atmost settle them wit #600 to stamp exit on ur passport if it is 1st time of travelling. Thereafter,u move to contonu side.u wil give their immigratn like #500,so to stamp u in.U wil pay such like 2 places before u enter seme benin rep side where d money bereau changers are. Note:Don't listen to those touts who wil surely approach u after Nigeria side of d boarder, all in d name they want to cross u or help u.They wil extort u.Betterstil,I knw how u can get it done witout any stress atall,even til Ghana |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by Ugosample(m): 12:16am On Nov 29, 2016 |
unclephilio123: This is very good advice y'all. The only thing is that I am not sure about that 600 naira you wrote for the first exit stamp at the Nigerian side. But assuming that is true bros, for one with an exit stamp or two already, how much will the person now pay? #200? |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by unclephilio123(m): 12:50am On Nov 29, 2016 |
Ugosample:Sir,there is sumthing we call" POWER OF NEGOTIATION/BARGAINING"some may fall mugu while others may smart for them. I could remember sumtimes Sept dis year when I went,a younger brother to my frnd who went wit me pay them 600naira on a virgin passport,though they charge him 1500naira,but he insisted dat he is a student on an excursion to sogham farm in portNovo. Sir,wit all due respect there is no fixed amount to be collected by d officers..........Bt its a pity our officers had even colonized d Benin rep officers wit Koruption(my lips sealed). Sir,stamping of passport. For d first timers alwayz difficult and hectic bt person like me na 100naira I dey give dem,coz na regular customer I be(customer daada) |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by Ugosample(m): 7:44am On Nov 29, 2016 |
unclephilio123: You are a sure man then.... N100-N200 is what you should pay for stamp at the Naija side. At Hillakondjo, others pass free (bemonoise and togolese) while Nigerians pay 600CFA for the two parts. I don't know who seme is like that, pay for stamp to leave it enter my country? Rubbish |
Re: Need Traveling Advice To Cotonou by unclephilio123(m): 9:25am On Nov 29, 2016 |
Ugosample:like I hav said,stamping of passport only difficult a bit for d first timers.......cox those officers are ready to disvirgin ur pockets to d nearest minimal,if u are nt smart.As for me,anytime I'm passing through those boarders its only naija side that alwayz difficult.I do pay 100naira or 250cfa @Hilla-conji(Boarder btw Benin Rep and Togo)and. Samething applicable @ Aflao Boarder(Togo and Ghana boarder) |
