Thanks so much for sharing, I was there years ago and the vibe is just awesome, their food is also tasty, very friendly and lively people and you are right about security, that was the first time I will go out in the middle of the night without worrying, the people were very honest too, hope to travel again someday.

@@christabeldorgu1836 Don't go, exchange rate is crazy now, when I was there we were changing N1000 to 1600cfa 😂 and we were complaining, now 700cfa is N1000. Few things you should note: House rent is paid in cfa, School Fees is paid in cfa 99% of the money you will spend will be in cfa, when you convert N500,000 to cfa you'll get 350,000cfa that's not close to what you'll need for your first section. A lot of schools in Benin Republic are out to take money from Nigerians for a degree and sell you NYSC as if it's the end goal, when you get to the Job market you'll find out there's a lot of stigma about people who graduated from benin republic because of the few bad eggs who go there to buy certificate. My advise is go to a private university in Nigeria if you're not ready to fight extra hard just to defend the fact that your school is genuine and you actually paid attention during classes.. Hit me up if you still need more information, cos I'm sure you'll need more. Next episode: Border issues. 🙂

@donkpeganmodeste417
@donkpeganmodeste417 Год назад
until 2015, the naira was three times higher than the CFA. It was the various devaluations of the naira undertaken by the Republic of Nigeria that pushed the cfa above the naira. The CFA has not changed in value since 1994
@TheGbizaille
@TheGbizaille Год назад
Fcfa is pegged to the Euro. So when the Euro goes down Fcfa goes down, if it goes up, it will go up too. The last time Fcfa had a devaluation was in 1994 but back then it was against the French Franc. I hope this helps. Hello from Cote d'ivoire.
