Thank you sir for this direction, i will even save this your comment for future reference. I don't think money will be a problem since I have good reasons for it, i will even add Cameroun to the list, so my goal has changed to 6 countries. I guess 200-250k suppose to accomplish it, that won't be a problem by His grace.

It depends on how long you want to spend in each country tho.....
250k is a good start trust me...
And by God's grace when Naira appreciate, !that 250k will have more value.

Chriswazo:

okay, i thought as much, thanks bro.

Exactly, and you are welcome.

Cfa 12,600. the Naira/Cfa is 790. Divide N10,000. by 790!

I am really sad about the currency situation and the hardship people are going thru. May god help us.
