Lady rates Benin Republic above Nigeria

According to @faith.vlog.cotonou, they enjoy a steady power supply in Benin Republic, and do not have to use a generator, unlike in Nigeria.

"This is why I am still in Benin Republic, and I am not even thinking of going back to Nigeria.

"We have steady light here. No power failure. No generator noise. I honestly can't remember the last time they took light here in Benin Republic..."

She added that there is no kidnapping or robbery incidents she has heard of since moving to Benin Republic, describing the country as safe and organised.

"And guess what? No kidnapping here. I have never heard of robbery or kidnapping since I came here. The country is safe and organised..."

She continued:

"...Number three reason, you can't fight anyhow in this country. If you injure someone and blood comes out, you will pay all the hospital bills. You can even go to jail for that. So, no violence in this country.

"If you are having issues with anybody, go to police and report it. Before you enter bike in this country, you must wear helmet. It is the law. Even the bike riders wear their own. It helps to protect your life in case of an accident.

"Lastly, the money we use here is CFA Franc (XOF), not naira. Like CFA 2,000 is almost N4,000. So, if you are thinking of relocating or visiting any of the African countries, Benin Republic is calm, safe and full of life. Come and see for yourself."
