My people, anytime we dey talk Côte d'Ivoire, make we shine our eyes well-well o! Na high caution we dey advise for this beautiful country, especially with all the wahala wey dey ground.
As e be, crime level high for some area dem and even civil unrest fit show face any time. Make you dey alert to wetin dey happen around your area and mind your personal security. Local authorities dey fit change security level any time dem like, so make you no slack.
Plus, e get Mpox wey don begin dey spread for some region of Africa including Côte d’Ivoire. So if you wan travel go there, better protect yourself well-well. Limbs dey well met, no dey play with your health!
For those wey wan trek go the regions wey dey border Liberia, like Cavally and San Pedro, abeg make you dey very cautious. Dem locations dey see crime and serious insecurity. If you no want wahala, just avoid all those risky journey.
And as dem sabi how to spoil person day, dem get terrorist threat too, especially for the borders wey dey share with Mali and Burkina Faso. Serious level of wahala dey for places like Folon and Tchologo; dem fit attack you anytime if you no dey careful.
We dey see political tensions wey don dey turn into fights and protests. Any gathering fit scatter at any time, even if dem start am peacefully. No forget say, if police give you any order, make you just obey…
Meanwhile, if you dey plan to enter Côte d’Ivoire, make sure say your yellow fever vaccination dey intact, because dem go ask for am at the entry point. E go better you do am before you land.
No be only medical mata! You fit also fall victim to financial scams. Those internet friends fit cut your pocket quick-quick if you no watch yourself. Better make sure say you no send money to anybody based on story wey dem go tell you online.
When it come to driving for Côte d’Ivoire, na still wahala. Road conditions fit be something else outside Abidjan, and armed robbers dey carry out their show for highways. Be very careful, and only use registered taxis; avoid any local transport wey seems shady.
If bad thing happen, no say the emergency numbers be: 170 for police, 185 for medical help, and 180 for firefighters. Get your phone ready! Call the Australian consulate if you need urgent help too, as dem dey try their best even with their limited capacity.
