- COTONOU More Developed Than LAGOS (ROAD TRIP: NIGERIA TO SENEGAL) Is a video where i traveled to Cotonou and found that Cotonou has surpassed Nigeria in so many ways.
They are more developed than Lagos Nigeria, they have cleaner roads than Lagos and even better city view than Lagos

My roots are from Benin (but born and raised in France but i visit Benin every year) so i want to be honest: that is stupid cause these 2 cities can’t be compared they’re not in the same category!!! Lagos is close to a global city and it’s fare more bigger and develloped, you can found everything you found in the western world :Metro/Train/Highways/Big malls:you have nothing like that in Cotonou (and Benin) but Cotonou is cleaner, well built and much more pleasant to live !!!
Hi my brother, hope you are doing fine, thank you for taking us around Cotonou,indeed Cotonou is a clean city and beautiful and organised, this graffiti wall is the longest in the World not only in Africa... The Amazon statue is so beautiful 30m tall. They are prepaing for independant day on August 1st 64th anniversary day... another statue is being built in Porto Novo the Toffa statue a former king...🇧🇯....hope we see more of your incoming vlogs soon on the Republic of Benin enjoy your stay,a bientôt
Yes thumbs up to Cotonou Benin Republic, cos I've been there few years ago, but it is only common sense that with very less population, less diversity and language, they would be better organized and less chaotic. Most of their development as a country is concentrated in Cotonou and Porto Novo the capital city, which are just 2million and 264,000 population respectively, when Alimosho local govt in Lagos state alone is about 1.9million population. One thing to note is that France has s stronghold and influence on most of those infrastructure you see and French businessmen and french government owns many of the organisations and investments there. Thousands if not millions of Beninioise are employed here in Nigeria or doing business especially skilled jobs like.. Tilers, plummers, carpentry, builders, bricklayers, electrical etc but many Nigerians confuse them as Yoruba's. If you dont respect Nigeria, at least respect your fellow citizens who respect their country cos we won't watch you talk trash our country🇳🇬 on an international and global platform without any responses okay. If you go to your rich friends father's house, would you begin to tell them how ugly and poor your father's house is? You only succeeded in talking down yourself as Nigerian cos President will go, bad government may change, Governor will go but this video remains for life
@@jptv4482 incredibly fascinating! These days, don't mind TH-camrs; they have such a strong proclivities to degrade their nation in order to gain more subscribers.
Stop embarrasing yourself, here in Abuja metropolis, there's traffic light for pedestrians okay. Benin no even get metro system cos its a very small country. Oga did you visit the entire country of Benin Republic before coming to conclusion that it is better than the entire Nigeria? You haven't even visited the entire Cotonou or their other cities, neither have you visited the entire Nigeria. Abuja is more developed than Cotonou please, and i challenge anyone to a debate. Did you say Nigeria doesn't have ONE tourist attraction at all?😅😅 A city doesn't make up an entire country. Lagos is not Nigeria, Cotonou is not the whole Benin, Nairobi is not the whole Kenya, Accra is not the whole Ghana etc You can acknowledge other countries especially on certain developments without undermining or putting down your country. That is what sets other African citizens far apart from Nigerians, they have better Nationhood mindset and patriotism no matter how poor their country maybe.
Try visit Bénin republic ok
@@JulesMonnou-ro4hc I have been to Cotonou several times. The entire Cotonou isn't as big as two local government in Lagos. But President Talon really did a good job.
@@mrnaija101 well said. We Nigerians are the architect of our own downfall. If someone from another country sees this video, he or she will believe this falsehood and use it to demonize our country.
@@JulesMonnou-ro4hcAre you okay. He is saying anything wrong Here is it he addressing issues and you say Cotonou. Cotonou is beautify and all that we acknowledge do not compared it with Nigeria period.
I am Nigerian American 🇺🇸. 🇧🇯 Benin is beautiful 😻
You are showing ignorance when you say that Benin Republic surpasses Nigeria. You need more educational guidance on how to speak on social media as a youtuber. I can't really know precisely what you would say upon entering Senegal? I knew about your channel from Kenneth, and you'd better learn from him. If the goal of your channel is to bring down Nigeria, you will fail. Although your videos are amazing, but you need to control your tongue. Good luck!
Thanks for your creative criticism. I'm sure it's not his intention to bring down Nigeria. Unfortunately, our Nigerian leaders are doing that quite efficiently on their own. I believe the point he's making, that you perhaps failed to see is that over there is way more evolved than Nigeria. I rep Nigeria but I'm also pragmatic. Even Kenneth explicitly said Nigeria isn't better than cotonou, the advancement of their country makes it difficult for one to misbehaving which is something Nigeria can learn from. 😊 ✌️
Nigeria is a mess. We can even keep our electricity constant nor the electric poles underground as we are seeing in this Benin Republic place. It is people like you that is the problems we have in this country praising mediocre, poor development and bad leaders
@@kesinaohure9419If Kenneth says that, it could be a slip of the tongue or a verbal mistake on his part. Even the blind will never say that Republic of Benin is more developed than Nigeria.
@@emperor1681 What is development to you sir. I am 79 year old Nigerian, living in North America, but I have travelled coastal west africa severally, and all the their main cities are generally cleaner than ours. That's what the kid is talking about. Quality of lives in most coastal West Africa is generally better than ours, even though they are poorer.
What are your indices of development? Are they not infrastructure? All the poorer coastal West African countries generally have better infrastructure than ours. Corruption is crippling us. They are corrupt in all those places too, but our Nigerian corruption is on another leve.
@idowumohammed4689
Thank you, sir/ma, my point exactly. Nigeria may be bigger, but it only shows in her name alone. Countries that should be looking up to us are doing far better than us.
Travel opens up your mind. Thanks for showing us the Benin Republic.
Did you just say outright that Lagos is less developed than Contonuo😱😱😱? What does a developed city look like?
TH-camrs like you, have proclivities to exaggerate in order to get in viewers. It's like saying that Cape Town is more developed and lovely than New York City just because there are lesser people living in the former.
Before Contonuo is compared to Lagos, it must first transit via Accra. Lagos's economy and population numbers alone exceeded those of Benin, not to include Contonuo. If the population of Contonuo is the same as that of Lagos, then a comparison with Lagos makes more sense.
I won't be surprised if your next video titled would be "is Dakar developed than Lagos", just for the viewership 😂😂😂
He is only exposing his ignorance and obscure mindset and he doesn't even realise it. An average Nigeria doesn't know or understand the indices used a s yardstick for a country's development. There is difference between being organised, cleanliness, neatness etc and development. For example Economic development is different from Social development etc
I am Nigerian American 🇺🇸. Benin 🇧🇯 is beautiful.😻
Such a nice way to know more about other countries 😌. We learn every day. Keep it up. Expecting more videos.
Cotonou definitely exceeded my expectation.
They said the President is doing Amazing Job with his team. ,, The population to is favouring them ,the Roads to are not with dust at the edges beautiful
My dear u talking trash. Tell me any place have u visited in Nigeria that is not beautiful.
He's a village boy.
For the fact that he said Nigeria has no single tourist attractions 😅😅 bad as e bad we get some if not many
They guy is a big fool
He is very uncultured.
Bro the way you're speaking so loud in public 😅 I'll follow you cuz of that. Don't mind the negative comments, most of them have never left Nigeria but yet they have so much to say
I live in cotonou
All of una just need to add the name Nigeria to help traffic your level. I am not really mad at you na marketing strategy for the benenise. At least the conversation has been between Nigeria and other countries so maybe its time for Benin and Togo to flex too.
Wanna be TH-camrs seeking attention and subscriptions. Mind you we are not all ignorant and uninformed. I habe travelled to cotonou more than 20 times and cant fantom why yoy are so ignorant to say that cotonou is more developed than lagos. Very bad way to start ur West Africa road tour. Shameful indeed...must everybody be a content creator?
Nawawo!!!
Some TH-camrs sef 🤦🏿🤦🏿
Wetin happen?
Thank you for sharing this enlightening video.
I use to think the human king was a south African story. Tnks for the insight bro.
The woman king is a true story that happened in the 19th century a regiments of women army in the Dahomey kingdom now the Republic of Benin 🇧🇯 not south Africa as you think
@@kojobriceamoussouvi683 mehn, good to kw🥂
I just unfollowed you because of the disrespect you showed to Nigeria. You can talk of Benin Republic but you can’t compare Benin Republic with Nigeria. What a shame..
The "leaders" in Nigeria disrespect it more
He deserved to be unfollowed.
If you have to unfollow someone for being excited about what he didn’t expect of a country we Nigerians call village, then the issue is on you. We should all be open minded when watching contents. Some of the points he made are legit.
1. Cleanliness
2. Orderliness and intentionality
3. Corruption.
4. Obedient to the law and more
We should all strive to emulate good things others are doing and holding ourselves accountable. If we don’t our case would be like that of the told and the boiling water.
@@emmanuelokonta1241 What do you expect from a country of 13 million inhabitants and a country of 230 million inhabitants? Let me ask you, how many pedestrians do you see on their sidewalks and how many vehicles you see on the road? The whole population of Cotonou is less than that of Lagos, that's why the country is clean.
Lagos population = 16,000,000
Cotonou population = 2,000,000
The beauty of Cotonou lies specifically in the route that they showed us. If one enter the residential and commercial streets of Cotonou, you cannot even compare it to Port Harcourt. Although President Talon deserved applause.
@@emperor1681 oga what have Nigeria done for you???
How much do you buy fuel, food items, your basic need, or pay school fees???
The leaders of Nigeria do not care about you whatsoever, so when you see somewhere better, appreciate it.
Look how flooded the island is right now... abegi...
I just unfollowed
Let me try to educate people here, All these countries you are describing or mentioning that their currency has surpass that of Nigeria. Please correct yourselves. Nigeria currency devalued it is not as if the countries' currencies rise above Naira, NOPE. There's also devalued but Nigeria economy is still stronger and bigger.
Benefiting from going down of Nigeria and from Nigeria market
I am 79 years old, and Benin Republic has always been cleaner and better organized than Nigeria, The same applies to all other coastal West Africa. you will be able to verify my claim since you are still travelling 8 other countries all the way to Senegal. Nigeria is better than all of them in that we are richer and very big. Nigeria alone is more than half of ECOWAS. The combined population of the other 14 Ecowas is less than Nigeria's. Up till 1970, we all looked the same, but all the others started pulling away from Nigeria in esthetic since then.
U talk like a fool..is Cotonou cleaner than uyo? Una go just dey over hype something. Mumu
Bro you just went to a tourist center and you concluded that cotonu is better to than Nigeria that's a shame cause Nigeria is way better than cotonu both in tourist attractions and infrastructure , you would have gone into their cities and show us how the environs look , besides you can't expect a tourist center to be left unattended to cause a lot of people will most definitely come there
Thank you my brother
❤❤❤❤❤
What's the Gdp of Cotonou campare to Lagos ?😁
Port Harcourt graffiti wall that is unkept 😂... The flag is everywhere because independence is on Thursday
You're sick to compare Benin 🇧🇯 to Lagos.
I need your confidence 😅 the way you walked up to the white woman
My friend, it is the longest grafitti painting in the Word
Why is it that in most of your videos you always compare other countries to Nigeria or make Nigeria look bad it seems you are looking for engagement
Stop screaming please
It is unfortunate that you people visiting his page that 7s making him spurt out nonsense! Please do unsubscribe from this nonsense😢
Don't compare benin😢with Nigeria,,,
Guy be careful ooh
Y'all are forgetting Nigeria economy is going down the drain 😅 cfa had more value than your currency. Just be honest with yourselves , cotonou is better
Your people in Nigeria say you are the smartest people in Africa. How does it reflect on the situation in Nigeria? In terms of neatness, decency, and safety,how do you find Benin,Ghana,as compared to your your own place giant of Africa?
Mind you the credit MUST go to the current president H.E Patrice Talon For the rapid developments in Benin republic.
How well do u understand that word "development"?....
Or abi you're seeking attention?
He's a village guy, he's the category of Nigerian youtubers in Ghana who are destroying our image to get subscribers.
@@emperor1681oga... what have Nigeria done for you???
How much do you buy fuel or pay school fees??? What's the cost of living in your area abi e nor touch you???
@@kesinaohure9419Then, it shouldn't propelled the TH-camr to make inflammatory remarks about Nigeria, bcuz of the daunting challenges in the country. We Nigerians are just very Unpatriotic, always quick to paint dirty image to the country.
@@kesinaohure9419Work on your mindset, those are not the indicies, maybe you aren't educated enough. Have you asked for find out how much they buy fuel in Benin Republic? Nigeria's fuel for that matter cos without Nigeria them go struggle, what about gas? How much is school fees in Benin? in fact cost of living in Nigeria is cheaper in Nigeria than in Benin but you're here shooting yourself in the foot.
@@kesinaohure9419 failure finding fault!
Do you know that Nigerian is cheaper than all west Africa countries and beyond??
This how people like you goes about saying trash u no nothing about!!
The country is hard but still 'very very' cheap to be compare to other African countries and beyond!!!...
I'm still wondering ur personal effect/contribution in the country that prompt ur bitterness!!!
Like your video, nice job, but abeg what is hype about statute so much that you are saying Benin is far more beautiful than Lagos is it in dream or your reality, do you know what it takes to develop a city of 15million inhabitants to a mere 1.5million city, then the road are they better than Abuja, Port Harcourt and Uyo. Promote your videos without disrespect guy.
Buy big bread or petrol in cotonou,and conpare it with Nigeria one, you're exaggerating things too much.. anyway most big houses in cotonou belongs to Nigerians😂😂😂😂
Where did you get that information, did Benin people sleep under bridge.Just drop your pride
@@codjohounguevi5254I'm sure you have not been to Benin the cost of living is high over there than Nigeria
You are dull bro. 😂
No offense but you are so dull 😂
Imagine the comparison, i was gonna follow you, but it's not gonna happen
Cotonou is better than Accra Ghana 😊
You guys in the comment defending Nigeria but it's still the same you guys that were shaming nigeria when prices of things started increasing, hypocrites. I'm pretty sure each and every one of you have shamed Nigeria but when it comes to someone's video, you turn to nigeria worshiper
Shut up you are a fool which other countries have you seen their citizens downgrading their country in public even in Benin the cost of living is higher than that in Nigeria
You have no security and you want to invest in tourism.start let see na 😅 dey play
Guy do you know that the economy of contonu is mostly from Nigeria? Know this and know peace ok, but nevertheless benin is trying ok.
How can you say Cotonou is “more developed” than Lagos? Do you know what “developed” means? How many people are in Cotonou? Or they “developed” an empty land? It’s like saying your village is more developed than Lagos because you have some mansions and tarred roads in your village.
So do you want to tell me that development is based on popularity or what 😅.Indien and Bangladesh.
@@codjohounguevi5254 YES. Population matters. Otherwise you could go to a small nice town in Canada with 5,000 people, and say it is more developed than India or even China. Which would make absolutely NO sense. Because there is obviously FAR MORE of everything in India and China - from freeways to railways to seaports to airports, to heavy industries, than in that small nice town of 5,000 people in Canada.
People saying nigeria is better , they should try and cross the seme border 😂 only that will let you know how backwards nigeria is.. you'll pass like 20 checkpoints in nigeria and they'll be asking unnecessary questions
Meanwhile when you cross to Bènin,
You're saying trash okay
@@TopViewServices coming from someone that has not left their village
Our tourists will be kidnapped in Nigeria.
By your father? There are much richer tourists and foreigners living in Nigeria u fool
Nigeria is dirty and poor. God bless Yorubas for developing Cotonou
Stop saying that rubbish, what do you know about cotonou Yoruba, you think we are fighting about ethnic or religious war in our country,we don't discriminate our brothers here oo Don't bring that your bath behavior in my country.
Its ok to have loyalty to your country for those of you trying to defend Nigeria, but does your country have loyalty to you??? Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and you're defending her? A country were our leaders syphon revenues generated for the development of the country and her people into their personal pockets because of greed.
Compare dollar/naira, or that of Cotonou to naira. It now takes about 40m to japa, yet alot of Nigerians rather leave than stay here.
Lets not mention police corruption/brutality.
So you guys should get your priorities and facts right, our Nigerian leaders has failed us in development, infrastructure, education, tourist attractions site, agriculture, even in the oil we boast of having, how much is fuel now???
Abeg...😒
Your take is senseless! Such low-level thinking. Tueh
Even when Trump was shot at a rally, you hear his supporters chanting USA USA USA
Until you know when to differentiate between country and rulers, you will be living in ignominy.
You can hate your President but NOT your country.
Nigeria is the only country in the world where you can not be deported. Even if you have dual citizenship, it can still be revoked and you deported. 👌👌👌
@@triedstoneSportsafter commenting, you should go and find something to eat before the economy finish you
@@sasorah6414why are you on every comments are you pained😂
@@Oemma680 why are you looking for all my comments? Are you jobless? Just like the rest of the people leaving in Nigeria
What then would you do when you visit Dakar and Abidjan? Also, when you say development, there are so many angles to it. Cotonou is more organised than Lagos but hell no, not more developed in general in terms of the scope of Industries, Banks, Real Estates, etc. In terms of organization and tourist attractions yes but Lagos is way bigger city with more economic mobility. Also, the idea that Nigeria is giant of Africa is laughable. Maybe in terms of population and economic potential.
Keep crying
