In the video, Favour said she got her Nigerian passport stamped at the Nigerian-Benin border after she paid N5,000.
Favour said she needed to convert naira to CFA which is the currency used in Togo. She said she converted N200,000, which amounted to 80,000 CFA.
According to currency.me.uk, 1 West African CFA is worth N2.8157 as of October 1, 2024.
Her words:
“A few months ago, I applied for several volunteering opportunities and was accepted to volunteer with a sports NGO in Atakpamé, Togo.
“I’d been to Togo once before, but my trip was mostly within Lomé. Travelling farther felt a bit scary, but I was fortunate to find company along the way who helped me navigate the journey to a reasonable extent. I eventually made it to Atakpamé, albeit late, but the experience was well worth it! I’m so glad I took the leap.”
