Ivory coast, 24/7 light and water but you get to pay to urinate outside your room. And Adjame is like old rough oshodi, if you are not holding your phone very well, you may as well remove your sim card to reduce the pain of loosing because u will surely loose it. If you want to eat Nigerian food like garri(EBA), fufu, wheat make sure you have your 1,000cfa.

Member States

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is made up of fifteen member countries that are located in the Western African region. These countries have both cultural and geopolitical ties and shared common economic interest. The region of West Africa is located west of north-south axis lying close to 10° east longitude. The Atlantic Ocean forms the western as well as the southern borders of the West African region. The northern border is the Sahara Desert, with the Ranishanu Bend generally considered the northernmost part of the region. The eastern border lies between the Benue Trough, and a line running from Mount Cameroon to Lake Chad.

Colonial boundaries are still reflected in the modern boundaries between contemporary West African states, cutting across ethnic and cultural lines, often dividing single ethnic groups between two or more states. The Economic Community of West African States has defined the region of West Africa since 1999 as including the following 15 states:

• BENIN
• BURKINA FASO
• CABO VERDE
• CÔTE D'IVOIRE
• The GAMBIA
• GHANA
• GUINEA
• GUINEA BISSAU
• LIBERIA
• MALI
• NIGER
• NIGERIA
• SENEGAL
• SIERRA LEONE
• TOGO
And Mauritania

Most of our West Africans neighbours except Ghana speaks French. The are all steep in spiritism (juju). No sane Nigerian should bother visiting those countries. America, Italy, cananda, Australia, Singapore, China Malaysia sure pass!!

[quote author=seunny4lif post=64502390]Senegal ( 5 months) :
The best west Africa for me, 90% Muslims nation but you wouldn't even know. Slap a Soldier in Senegal no problem but do that to police officer and be ready for 4 months in Jail.
Apart from Dakar, the other areas are not much developed

Niger Rep (4 months):
Not much just like Northern Nigeria but Alcohol is legalized and the country own more than 4 brewery companies.
Friday's night na Club but the ladies are Nigerians girls.

Sierra Leone ( 3 weeks):
Are you looking for easy to fuvk girls?
Sierra leone are the cheapest girls to bleep and mehn those chicks get unbelievable ASS.
Dogg style


Benin Rep (All together 1 month)
Togo (2 days )
Ghana ( Just 2 days)
Burkina Faso( 1 day)
Guinea ( 4 days)
Mali ( 3 days)

[/quote
Salone��? I concur... Cheap girls every where in Salone ��. Niger, alcohol not legalize.. U get licensed to sell it. Operated mainly by Togolese and benenios. Burkina �� morsi girls are cool to go compare to d djulas. Mali, France too many naija babes there... Naija ti take over olosho quarters there. Guinea �� the fulla (fulani) girls rock. But Igbos making kpekus xpensive.
Apart from the 24/7 power supply they enjoy naija rock

Hello Op. I have been so some West African countries and when you talk of comparisons, I'm going to list a few things.
Overall, we have money than any other ECOWAS member and they sort of look up to us , only that we aren't exercising our influence because we can't still put our lives together.

In terms of security, Nigeria is nothing to write about ( You hardly hear of robberies in Ghana except the minor ones).

Ease of doing business is higher in Ghana and other places than in Nigeria.

Cost of living is higher. Petrol is sold for more than 300 naira per liter.

VAT is about 17.5. So that sort of make things expensive. But the peace is lasting and easy with basic amenities like water and power.


Other ECOWAS countries are more law abiding than Nigerians. I am using Ghana as an example because I live here more than any other ECOWAS countries, not including Nigeria. A Ghanaian driver obeys traffic laws and knows should stop at zebra crossing.

More stable democracy.

Employment is a no no. Most of other ecowas citizens are docile and nothing pushes them in life. They are very much contented and barely think outside the box.

They just want to be employed and earn what they can use to feed their families and nothing more.
no robberies in Ghana? u are delusional.

africangirl000:
Many Nigerians are seeking greener pastures these days and with the issue of visa denials and inability of everyone to use an agent, maybe some african countries could offer solutions.

So for those who have visited or live in ECOWAS member states, come in and share your experiences. How do those countries compare to our fatherland in terms of:

Living standards,
Security,
Employment opportunities,
Cost of living,
Business, etc.

For those who have experience with non-ECOWAS states as well, you can chip in your contributions. Thank you.




Nigeria is the worse run country in the world.

Respect yourself. The robberies are very low and not even high stake like you find in Nigeria. Very pretty way of stealing. You are the delusional one here.
