    Amazing video and well details, although so much stress but maybe it was met to be stressful on that day. You have a new subscriber here. Please I have some questions I need your clarity on; - Please what is the name of the camera or phone used to film without them noticing you were filming? - Which passport will be stamped and signed. Is it the International passport or the Ecowas passport? - Do you need to roam your line or does MTN from Nigeria works normally in Benin Republic? - How many days of entry where you giving at the border? - where can i get yellow card from?

    You can stay in the Country without a Resident Permit. But in long-term if you meant to do anything meaningful administratively, You will be requested to apply for it. Bcs it shows that you pay taxes in the Country. For example when applying for a Visa to travel abroad. Without their Resident Permit, You will not be legitimate to go to any Foreign Embassy in the Country.

He's never crossed the borders and this will be my second visit to the motherland. What advice would you give? Do you know if they have visa on arrivals? Husband already have ECOWAS passport, but I need visa for each country 😪 Please help 11.23.23

    New subscriber here I'm a nigerian living in cotonou and I can tell you for a fact that all those stupid questions dat man in blue was asking wasn't necessary. You are not even supposed to pay a kobo for documentation. Are you a 12 yr old for d man to be asking if you re financially buoyant. That was very rude. Next time, you come to these paths, once you highlight from the badagry roundabout cab, there are taxis/small cars by the road side going to seme border. Those bike guys are dangerous, they don't care for there lives. The cab fare cost 300 naira per person as of yesterday to the seme border. I enjoyed your vlog Be safe guys ✌
