A Nigerian travel enthusiast named Toke had an incredible experience in the Republic of Guinea, where she became a millionaire through a currency conversion. Toke shared her exciting story on TikTok, revealing that she converted a mere N150,000 Nigerian Naira into the Guinean Franc (GNF). To her astonishment, she ended up with a whopping 1.5 million GNF after the exchange, highlighting the significant difference in value between the two currencies. Toke playfully remarked on the weak value of the Guinean Franc compared to the Nigerian Naira, stating that even a simple purchase like a bottle of water could cost as much as 4000 GNF in Guinea.

As a Nigerian spending in thousands is giving me anxiety. Felt like I’m spending so much but not really. Guinea 🇬🇳 used to be part of the franc zone of former French colonies, using the CFA franc as its official currency until its independence. Other Former French Colonies which are 12 countries in West Africa still spend the “colonies françaises d’Afrique” known as CFA. This is not the first currency being used by the currency but this is the most recent. Rumor has it that due to Guinea Conakry bowing out from spending CFA, France, by all means, devalued this currency. ✨ Now with the new power CFA is holding even over Naira, it’s fair to say they are fast becoming the strongest currency in West Africa. Want to travel across West Africa as a Nigerian you either travel with a lot of dollars or pounds or get yourself some CFA… 😉Now who is joining me here in Guinea? #thattokelady #guineaconakry🇬🇳 #westafricatravel #10countries50days
