Most of people in Nigerian thank that Cotonou Bénin is village country not develop yet not ever visit ... thanks you for you people to show them ..and welcome to my country ❤❤❤
Thank youuuuuu 🥳🥳💃💃
And, what does THAT say about “most of the people in Nigeria(n)!” 😂😢😊
@@dwolemurrayifeignorant and shallow
Please how much is the cheapest house rent in Cotonou?
@@sharonwilson176 it depends your budget ..if ur u want room self containe ,
Bénin 🇧🇯 Cotonou is beautiful, safe, clean and well organised 👍🏾 i have been there last year
We agree!🥰
It really is!
Well done Benin,much love from kenya 🇰🇪
Awww, thank you for sharing 🥳💃
So Glad to have you here❤️
The country is way cleaner than Nigeria bigtime 👍👍I love it
This comparison would make some violent persons come for you very soon😂
Bénin republic has an Active president, young and vibrant.
I'm living in the country so I'm taking with experience.
If they have the type of resources we have, they will beat us hands down in terms of development.
Wow 😯
Absolutely true
You're right
You don't need natural resources if that is what you mean, to develop
Francophone West Africa is known to be organized, and beautiful, look at Abijan, Dakar, Yamousukro, Cotonou etc, they're ahead of chaotic anglophone cities.
Wow I didn’t know about this 🤔
Majority of francophone countries in Africa are failed states
Oga! Rest... Is Chad & Niger not francophone. Development is the pple's efforts
@@sundayinawo3433 thank u
Bravo et merci au Benin de permettre au peuple de vivre dans des conditions humaines c'est aussi cela les droits de l'homme. Vive le Benin! et vive l'Afrique!
Long live Benin, long live Africa 🥳
Thanks for sharing
Bravo to president Talon. IN 7YEARS he has changed the face of Benin.Kudos to you mr president.its day and night between kerekou, Soglo , yayi and president talon. Very efficient leader and a vision for building.
It is so good to know that we still have African leaders who are deeply invested in bettering the country they lead, God bless him
I hope Nigerians watch and learn.
This is how roads should be built. With road markings each side. With underground drainage systems and with sidewalks.
Most Nigerian roads are with opened gutters, full of trash. No sidewalks. Half of the roads, unpaved. Even the paved ones are full of cracks and dust on the corners with no markings, no road signs or traffic lights. The roads are never maintained due to money pocketing corruption by political leaders.
We hope and pray for a change soon
Please count Abuja out of your description.
@@favour_oparahchange won't just come if we don't request for it
I'm relocating soon... this place is better than lagos cool n calm safer than Nigeria.. I never heard bad news about this beautiful country with lesser population of 2m.. so beautiful n organised .. relocating with my family soon ..
Wow I guess you’ve done lots of research and I totally agree with you too, God’s grace as you start up your new journey 🥰❤️
Wow
13 millions not 2 M
Benin republic na 13 millions people
This country cannot have less than 2 million
African American here.. and this looks really really dope... Looooooooooooooove it.. and yes lived in Naija for over 10 years
Wow you’re a pure Naija breed oh🤭 yes it looks good, thank you for sharing your thoughts, glad to have you here🥳🥳
😂 lol oga you are Nigerian
I'm proud of myself l live in Nigeria but l grew up at Benin republic my mom from there Benin is one of the best country you will love to live in
Aww thanks for sharing 🥰❤️❤️
I'm a Nigerian and I'm planning to move to Cotonou. Please can you tell me the cost of house rent there?
It has changed so much since I lived there in 79. Best of luck and fortune Benin.
Wow 😯 that’s a really long time
More growth to Benin republic
Massive, serene and very clean. Not d chaotic scene that is Nigeria
Thank you sir for sharing your sharing your honest observations 🙏
In LAGOS you mean?
I left my country 20 years ago, and I am amazed to see how much it has changed thanks to u fav_ op
Keep the good work going and thumbs up to u 👍🏼
Oh wow that’s a really long time!
I’m grateful you found this video helpful 🥳🥳 thanks for sharing!
As a Ghanaian this is an eye opener for me, I've been to togo I must admit was so incredibly beautiful, now I see Benin. Sad that gh and naija are often heard of because of the anglophone but these francophone countries have been far developed as well but we hardly hear because of language difference. Ivory Coast same.
All you said is so true
The language barrier stops a lot of persons who speak English from exploring this African francophone countries most times I think we kinda underestimate their worth and rate of development
Do you know all the English speaking West Africa government are looters of Treasury , highly corrupt founds meet for capital development are diverted into personal banks
I'm beninese in Ghana right now 😅 if you want go to benin 🇧🇯 let me know
Like you appreciate benin Republic me too I like Ghana 😅
You are absolutely right, English speakers underestimate the development of French-speaking countries, especially in West Africa. You can take a trip to Calavi to visit the largest industrial area in West Africa under construction with an integrated power plant, modern roads, fiber optics and all the equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the area. Benin is the leading cotton producer in Africa, but the president has decided to no longer export raw cotton but to process everything here on site before exporting it. This will bring added value and it is not only cotton, this measure also concerns cashew, soy, pineapple... Benin exported a first order of 12 tons only 2 weeks ago. of T-shirts, Pullovers and others to the United States for a children's clothing company. Benin has been classified as a middle-income country by the IMF and is no longer considered a poor country with annual growth between 7 and 8%
Kutonu has changed quite a lot. That's very good. This is what we want to see across Afrika
I totally agree with you too!😊
i actually love this country, everything about them is nice and lovely and delicious foods as well. i studied there 13years ago. i was happy to see my school Nigeria international school 'NIS' in this video. the real estate and beach areas and aroud the airport is a great memory
Wow I’m so glad to have brought back beautiful memories for you 🥳 thanks for sharing
That is amazing. I'm proud of my country.❤
Awww you should!☺️
Proud of Beninese. I love you. From an Ivorian. For this content creator you’re welcome in Abidjan(Ivory Coast)
Aww🤭 thank you so much
I really can’t wait to visit Ivory Coast💃 love one Africa!🥰❤️
We just need good leaders in Africa and the world will be shock❤❤❤❤❤ i will good there by God grace i have a Benin we promised to visit each country ❤❤❤❤❤
That is exactly what I always say too!
The rate at which development would take place would be so rapid and shocking
Beautiful city of Cotonou, Bénin republic. Good job my people.
Indeed a really beautiful country, thank you for watching and dropping your comment 🥰❤️
Welldone to the leaders of Benin Republic, the city is beautiful. While Nigerian leaders are busy sharing money amongst themselves other countries are busy developing their country. Look at 8 lane road in cotonou, onitsha to enugu with more money and people, oyo to llorin has 2 lane road. 😂 All other African countries are way ahead of Nigeria now due to government corruption in Nigeria....
I still don’t how the nigerian government is comfortable seeing other countries developing far better than their country and still plays I don’t care 🤷♀️…the nonchalance effect is getting too much🥹
Ijebu Ode - Ore - Benin - Asaba should be a 6-8 lane expressway with the amount of traffic it gets.
Same for Lagos - Ibadan. I’m not sure what our leaders are thinking with those silly 2 lane expressways.
Completely agree that the Nigerian government is much more corrupt than any other government in the continent, having said that, it is a common observation that smaller countries are most of the time better organised than bigger ones but that does not make them better in the real sense. For me, you have to be self employed to relocate from a large city like lagos to a tiny city like cotonou with little or no chance of getting a job. America has the biggest economy in the world but it isn't as organised as the small north countries of Europe, like Finland ( my place of resident for the past 4 decades.), Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland. However, in terms of job opportunities you can never compare these countries to the almighty America. So, don't be fooled by what you see after all lagos economy is larger than that of several countries in Africa including Ghana.
Is this better than Abuja or is this city more developed than Lagos?. You only wide roads and making noise. Do they have downtowns or sky scrappers?
@@Danorous Good infrastructures is what makes a city not high rise buildings.Beautiful,good roads,clean and green is more important than skyscrapers. You can have all the skyscrapers in the world and still be living in junks and dump yard, rat infested city.Look at contonou and compared it to some cities in Nigeria, onitsha,Aba,lbadan,osun,etc Imagine if all our cities look like this,good roads, clean and green?Nigeria will be regarded as a first world nation overnight.
Visited Cotonou also and was impressed by the orderliness of that part of the city.
Like The organization and cleanness was truly amazing to see 😊
Great video! Cotonou is underrated indeed. Btw, Thanks for showing my uncle’s villa 😀.
Awww thank you so much for watching ❤️🥰
@@favour_oparah no, thank You for sharing this video with us ☺️
Fier d'être béninois. A land of peace and beauty. We Beninese have no hostility toward foreigners. We have plenty Nigerians living here.
Yes I also confirmed that too
You guys are so welcoming, one of the reasons I enjoyed my stay
Hi Favour, hope you are doing fine..once again thanks for taking us around Cotonou,such a lovely beautiful place, The graffiti wall it's the World not in Africa,the longest is found on the former OCBN wall near Zongo...A lot of interesting places to visit and yet to visit ... Indeed WE are in Africa 🇧🇯❤️
Wow you’re very right, I just confirmed that it’s the longest graffiti wall in the world…and I also agree with you that there are a lot of interesting places to visit in Benin republic
@@favour_oparah, it's rather the largest in Africa and the second largest in the world after the one in Dubai
Jonas, the wall she filmed is the longest in the world, that of the ONCB in Zongo is now the 3rd longest after Dubaï.Benin was second when the wall she filmed was not yet painted. Henceforth Benin has two walls in the ranking that see
1-Benin(Autonomous Port of Cotonou)
2-UAE (Dubai)
3-Benin (OCBN Cotonou)
4-Brasil
What a beautiful city, this is a clear example that when public resources are used well, many works can be achieved, congratulations.
I agree with you too
The wall you filmed is the longest in the world, that of the ONCB in Zongo is now the 3rd longest after Dubaï.Benin was second when the wall she filmed was not yet painted. Henceforth Benin has two walls in the ranking that see

This is so cool to know 🥳
It's quite interesting.... I'm in Benin already got a job there, almost a year now....peaceful, security wise, good infrastructure, well mannered people... Electricity 💯... Honestly i pitied my Nigeria, when our leader refused to do the needful...God will deliver us one day....Now CFA is bigger than Naira😮🥹🥹🥹
Yes and it’s so sad that our currency keeps depreciating, I’m glad you’re loving your stay in Benin 🇧🇯
@@favour_oparah 👍 thanks...I love it here sis.
Hello, please can I have your contact? I’m planning on moving to Cotonou and I need someone to put up with for a while before I get a place
This is way much ahead of some western countries. Africa the cradle of mankind. Wonderful place to visit👌👍
Exactly my thoughts too!
Thanks for being honest 🥰
What delete your comment.. have u seen Abuja Nigeria... Abuja Nigeria is way better and richer and developed aesthetically pleasing than the whole benin

I can’t believe my country so beautiful today 🇺🇸🇧🇯
Aww it is actually really beautiful 😍
I get emotional when I see video like this. Thank you guys
Thank you for also sharing your thoughts and feelings 🥰❤️
This is 0.000005% of Benin Republic. Although there has been an improvement in the past 6 years, we haven't accomplished 0.5% of what is supposed to be considered development.
Wow 😮…Then Benin republic is about to explode in development, this is really so good to hear🥰
Ce que j'aime chez les autorités Béninois c'est le faite de faire et de construire le pays avec une quantité et une intelligence vraiment super qu'on doit féliciter, ils font le mélange entre la modernité et le style africain c'est tout un mélange qui rend encore plus beau et donne envie de visiter ce pays, les infrastructures de qualité chose à ne pas négliger c'est que le bénis est l'un des pays africains qui avait une école d'architecture poussée en Afrique maintenant je ne sais pas si c'est toujours le cas mais ils font vraiment du bon boulot, en t'en que ivoiriens je félicite mes frères et sœurs du Bénin merci aussi à mes frères et sœurs qui ont quitté le Nigeria pour réaliser cette belle vidéos l'Afrique sera bientôt une El dorado ❤
Thank you so much for sharing, Africa will be an Eldorado 👍
Benin is Good Country, I was spent three months in cotonou, it is nice city.
Yeah indeed it is☺️
Damn...Lagos has A LOT to learn.
Please I don’t think this comparison is necessary 🥹🙏
@@favour_oparah it's okay. I actually meant it as a sign of respect. There's nothing wrong with us Nigerians learning a thing or two from Benin Republic. Cotonou looks amazing!
Oh yeah true, I get your point now
I am here and I feel safe and fine
Aww🤭 I’m happy that you’re happy with your stay❤️
Glad you appreciate our country

Anglophone west Africa should watch
Come back in 15 months and you will see this whole beach will be developed
Wow just wow 😯
You are right . They have just started tourism development work along the beach . The end is early 2025
Thanks for promoting my city.

Keep up under estimating francophone countries. Many of those countries are still under French system that always stopping them to progress. Event though many of those countries dnt have resources like Nigeria but they are trying. Try to visit Ivory Coast and you will appreciate it as well.
Please This was not to underestimate francophone countries at all🙏 we were just amazed at how developed the country looked like after the false narrative we’ve heard
I’m definitely going to visit Ivory Coast and other francophone countries soon so I get a better understanding 😊
Thanks for this video people underrates this country 🥰 its my second country I go there every year

Apart from Abuja i don't think we any beautiful state like this in Nigeria
Crossrivers, Lagos, portharcourt is also as fine as this
You have got to be kidding me? Apart from Abuja???? Lagos isn't a city that should be compared with Contonuo, right? 🤣🤣🤣
Some part of Lagos not the everywhere in Lagos is as beautiful as this and apart from infrastructural development the neatness Lagos is not match@@okesegun2118

It is sad we have been divided between Anglophone and Francophone, and we are bent out of shape to think that one is more exceptional than the other. The West African countries are seventeen only three countries adopted English as their official language, the rest are all French. Thanks for your correction, there are five English-speaking countries in West- Africa.
It’s actually bringing division instead of oneness
They are up to five not three.Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, liberia and serrie Leone.
You guys are funny, what did you see that isn't in Nigeria?
Please say the truth when you see it. Show me any road network in Lagos as smooth, clean and organized like this with amazingly greenery.

Nice. But useless when people are suffering under bad government, no affordable healthare, jobs and poverty reeks all over the place..the same story in all African Countries.
Please go and recorrect your thoughts on African countries
There’s nowhere in the world where you won’t find low income people so don’t talk like it’s an African plaque
@@favour_oparah If you don't agree with me then Hy are you thinking of relocating....lol... Anyway that most people are poor is not a thought that needs to be recorrected. It's reality that we see everyday whenever most of us come into the country...most people. If you re-read my comment with zero emotion you'd understand that beautiful buildings is not a measurement index in governments that have refused to invest in people....which is why everyone is turning to private sector for education, quality healthcare, even jobs...I come to Nigeria every year, and also do business in other parts of Africa... Reality is what we see and feel.
Well I understand your stance which is why there is no solution, because some people think all is well. Anyway Jah bless!
I also visit African countries for work and volunteer charity do understand your point. The difference between USA and African countries is the country investing in its people and creating profitable business environment, then the people happily developing the country.
I build Lagos
As per what exactly please 😂
I respect Patrice Talon stepping down in 2026 but I hope to God he does what Luis De Silva did in Brazil meaning step aside for a term or two and then run again. He has done in 8 years what former presidents could not do in 20 years. When you find a winning formula stick to it. Look at the Asians and Arabs.
come to Kenya Nairobi and see
I’m definitely taking this trip this year, can’t wait to visit 💃💃
