Best west Africa city
Dakar is so nice but Igbo boiz has made Senegalese police to be target Nigerians.
They believe all Nigerians are Scammers becos that what most Nigerians in Senegal do for living.
Churches have so many programs for Scammers

I've only visited periodically but i made a promise to myself to learn french in order to move to Dakar permanently. Too bad that resolution flew away with the wind. lol.

So many Nigerians everywhere just doing stupid shit...its embarrassing.

None can be compared to Nigeria.

Nigeria is more complex and populated than these countries....politically, socio-economically, culturally....just name it. We have our problems...they surely have theirs. So therefore, no comparison.

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.

Yep, PMS sells for 4.49GHS (which is $1 or N360 per litre) in Ghana but you can hardly find anyone using generators. So your fuel is for your car alone. Also their traffic etiquette is second to none.

But their consumption tax is high (17.5%) so cost of things is relatively higher.

Do you know that Nigeria have more than 30 big cities and more than 15 airports?
There are only few countries ( if any )in sub sahara Africa that have more than 2 airports. And many of them don't have the number of cities that we have.
Our greatest problem is power. Once the electricity issue is solved , a lot of things will fall into place. Small small countries around us have all solved this problem.

(When I say sub sahara Africa, I am excluding south Africa)

no robberies in Ghana? u are delusional.

Mr man, go to the Osu area and see how white guys and women walk the streets carefree with all the casinos there. You can hardly even see police on the road. I bet you, no foreigner can walk any street in Naija like that. Not in Lagos, and definitely not in Pitakwa!

Honestly. There's no point comparing or contrasting life in west African/ECOWAS countries. Sure, Sure you might say some are better than Nigeria cos of their electricity and slightly better methods of organization. But IMHO,You'd more or less still feel like you're in a slightly alternate version of Nigeria.
Speaking from experience,The only way you get to have fun is if you've got lots of cash. Only with tons of money can you actually stay in WA countries and not complain.
You want to compare? Check out other African counties like Eritrea,Morocco, South Africa, Mauritius and even Kenya. These are countries I wish Nigeria would strive to be in league with. As for European countries... well...talk about having a slice of heaven on Earth.
