I live in Ivory Coast since 2015 since my retirement.Some costs and prices in your databank are absolutely exagerated in relation to rent and cost of utilities like water and electricity.Electricity bills include garbadge removal. and local TV taxes.Water os billet per trimestre, average 1500/ month/person.Elec billed 2 monthly .All dépends on cooling system.With fans max 20.000 monthly, with airco 40.000.Never the 125000 you suggest. The rental prices you have représented are the top location of city centre.I mention the average locations in and out of city centre.
