Hello, pls I will be traveling down to abidjan two months time... My problem is accomodations cos I don't want to waste money lodging in a hotel.. pls can I get a god studio room for 50k monthly, if I can get ur I will appreciate

i think you should,not sure though. I will ask people and get back to you.
When you come here,just Anglophones in Abidjan ( both Whatsapp and Facebook group),ask all your questions there. You will be guided.

Investmentfreak:


Please what’s your advice, I intend to visit and stay some time in Ivory Coast.

if you are capable,it's a nice country but very expensive. I call here a working Nigeria ( imagine Nigeria without chaos)

cutieme:

Abeg can you link one to a teaching job there and how much can one get a single room apartment there?

I'm just seeing your question now. Unfortunately i can't link you to a teaching job here. It's not that easy due to language barrier. If you a risk taker, you can come here with some money and rough it out.
One thing i have found out here,the Nigérians i have met are very helpful. an English speaking church.

Umegoejiofor:
please someone should reply me this question

let me attempt a response.
I think what you are currently selling in Naija sells here.Electronics generally sells here. I have no idea how much you need to start.
Maybe you come down here make inquiries,there are many Nigérians selling electronics in Adjame.

Kingsley1000:


No dey discourage people anyhow.
I don't see any difference between Lagos and Abidjan.If one can make it in Lagos, he/she can equally make it in Abidjan.

I have a friend that's teaching in a Nigerian school in Abidjan, He makes roughly 90k cfa plus free accommodation.He is living happily in Abidjan.

Are you sure he's telling you the truth? How can a teacher earn 90k CFA ,even with accomodation ? That's way too low.

uchman:


Brother,
Everybody's level is not the same, most people will use their 23-46kg airline baggage allowance to buy food stuffs.
Most of my friends then, dont even know how to cook in Nigeria, talk more of cooking, when not in Nija, most times, they call for food from restaurants which was money consuming.
You can see that the ones that used to bring food stuffs from Nigeria saved more than the ones that doesn't.

90k is much money for some people in Nigeria, I know of a teacher with Bachelor in Education from UNN but her startup salary was 30k by a Federal girls college after being retained from NYSC, if that person sees a job of 90k, do you know what it means?

My guy working with FCDA Abuja, as a Civil Engineer started with 100k salary...

So anybody that can not live happily with 90k salary, should calm down within sometime and little savings, things will start getting better...
No hurry in life... Nobody fit shoot sky catapult...

please don't compare life in Nigeria to that of Abidjan. Rent is monthly here and landlord no dey hear abeg.
Life is much more expensive compared to Nigeria. But life is easier, constant light , security is okay. There is peace of mind in Abidjan.

amuwo1980:

Na them , fear have gripped you right , return all stolen property that is with you QED

which stolen property? Whose property did i steal? Fear of what?
You must be a comedian. I just wasted my time responding to you.

amuwo1980:

You are a biased interloper , let’s hear the man’s side of the story , it cud be self defense or provocation and you are asking what is property and she held on to it and probably using to fund her runs , I know these women and can’t jump to a conclusion

No worries,when your close relative is killed in this manner, to wait for the killers side of the story.EOD.

Treadway:
I was shocked too when I saw the name. I don't know him but we are LinkedIn connections. The name is hard to miss, so immediately I saw the name in the thread I had to to LinkedIn to confirm with pics that it was the same person. Omo pple are unpredictable o. This is pure evil.

This is beyond shock to me.

amuwo1980:
Let’s hear the man’s side of story

Nothing Ben will say will justify what he did.How can he take lives that he didn't create. If he was tired of the marriage,he should have walked away.
What is property?

BRATISLAVA:


You are asking why, when it is obvious he is a jealous entitled bastard? Whether a chartered ant or not, he's clearly not doing well enough.

I don't want to say more than this.
Benjamin all your children are abroad,what do you need property for? It seems like a bad dream to me, that i will wake up from.
It's unbelievable, God have mercy.

Ybaby:


Avoid poor men. I always shout this but una no dey listen.. See the wretched husband !!!

I haven't been myself since i heard this news.
Benjamin , you see your life. What on earth could have pushed you to do this? How could you?
If you were tired of the marriage, you should have just walked away. Why why why
Please he isn't a lazy guy,He is a chartered ant,has a consulting firm in Lagos. He actually refused to the family in UK .
He is doing well for himself in Lagos.
He was to go visit them this Easter.

Hello @ Whyna,
Hope you are well? Pls i sent you a pm.
I need your help urgently.
Thanks.

Hahnemann:


I was surprised when I saw it too, from my research, it's always been around $250 to $300.

Pls can you help me with the ones that cost between $250 to $300,the ones Iam seeing like ITA is charging about $1000 upwards.

Bifwoli:
Not any updates since ?

i have left already.

DabuIIIT:

What are you into there?

. Sorry,i have no answer to this question.

graced21:
what would you advise me to venture in with 3lillion naira in Abidjan.??
I speak French

I really have no idea.
I see a lot of Nigerians doing so many businesses here. There is a place @ Adjame where Nigerians sell electronics, foodstuffs, second hand clothes etc. I don't know how lucrative they are because IAM not into business.
It may be advisable to come for a visit .

Labadi69:
I repeat if you don tire for Naija and wan go hustle outside with no money, enter better country for developed world. Worst case you go dey see food chop. Leaving Naija without money to enter poor African country is as good as suicide.

If you get money and fit speak French and get business sense and you dey consider Ivory Coast, I advise you to take a few trips to the country first. Look around, talk to people and do your own feasibility on whether your business go move. This will require a few trips sha before you reach conclusion on if to relocate.

If na job you dey find, search the jobs b4 coming. No come here come find job! There are international organizations here as well as Nigerian companies looking for French speakers to come and work for them in their branches here. I have friends who left Naija on transfer to come and work here and they are doing well. There are also many Nigerians working for World Bank, IFC, UN, ADB, etc that are based here and those ones dey chop correct salaries and living well here.

I don talk my own o. If you nor get money nor just near here o. He who has ears make he hear.

Abeg make I enter Cap Nord and Cap Sud go survey Ivorian women jare. I don waka

I hardly respond to people on naira land but you are not totally correct.
In as much as i won't advise someone to come here without a job offer,i have seen graduates who came here without a job offer but still got one especially teaching. The salary may not be fantastic but you can manage with it.The major barrier is the language,
What i won't advise is for someone to come without money and no certificate with the aim of hustling, that one is suicide mission.

EndNigeriaNoow:
have u relocated to Nairobi? how is life there in of security and clean environment and xenophobia if any?

I did relocate to Nairobi. It's a beautiful city.
I didn't experience any security challenge, the environment is clean. I didn't experience xenophobia attack either.
My advice is just to know that it's an expensive country compared to Nigeria. As a foreigner,obey their laws , you are good to go.

Stanbaba30:
Congratulations to Prof. My former dogged relentless Oga. Great Umudyk...! Great.

Yesoo,great Umudyk.,

Kaka77:
Just started reading this thread yesterday, and was able to finish it today. I once traveled to Ghana with the aim to start up a business, little did I know that the government were hostile to Nigeria businessmen at the time in 2016. I spent close to 2m setting up the business and things wasn't going well coupled with govt business registration and all that.

I want to ask a few questions.

1. I'm a trained and licensed Teacher here in Nigeria, what are my chances in CIV.

2. What are the pay for Teachers like in CIV.
3. How much would be enough for a head start like for Accommodation and all that.

Thanks

To answer your questions,if you can learn french,then you are good to go.
They pay bilingual teachers well from what I have seen.
Also they earn well from private lessons, speaking from experience,you can earn as high as 70000Cfa minimum in a month for two days in a week .
I can't say how much for a head start but bear in mind that the country is an expensive one.

These shoulders have murdered sleep. They will never know peace for killing an innocent young man They have made his young children fatherless and his wife a widow. .Arise oh Lord and avenge the death of Nzeribe.
