What is this dish?

I had an amazing dish that was brought out as a side or salad or gravy for my meal. I did not order it.

The dish was warm and had onions, tomatoes, cucumbers (?), peppers (?), and maybe some other veggies. I would love to know what the dish is so that I can try to recreate it back home.

I had this in Cotonou, Benin at Maquis du port.

Thank you!

Youtube in Benin!

Bonjour, j'enquête pour une série Youtube sur les concours les plus insolites et les plus bizarres du monde !

Par exemple, en France il y a un concours pour la meilleure imitation d'un cochon et en Finlande il existe un championnat pour manger des orties !

Il peut s'agir de n'importe quoi ! Peu importe que ce soit petit ou grand. Le Bénin a-t-il des compétitions amusantes et folles ? N'hésitez pas à me le faire savoir si vous en connaissez ! Nous serions ravis de venir y participer et de le filmer pour Youtube !

Merci!! :)

Can anyone help out with a Ewe or a Fon translation?

I am working on a project where we are attempting to create a comparative catalogue of languages, normally when you go onto Wikipedia or glosbe for a language sample text you get an almost robotic read of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are hoping to provide a better alternative to that by collecting interpretive translations for a surrealist text, to provide beginners a better feel of a language sample, eventually I hope to put them on a website as a free resource. Thus far we have 211 languages, but we are still missing Ewe and Fon.

Link to the project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V0NPV9KorlHVDIQXJkjEfRKZbKy6tGRvIvcPegcVGYs/

What nicknames have you heard/used for places in Benin? Quels surnoms y-a t'il pour les villes de Benin?

Like 'Cotonson', or short forms, like how people can say 'Nati' for Natitingou...

Geography teacher here with questions from my students for people living outside the U.S.

Hello everyone. I am an AP Human Geography teacher, the class is basically why things are where they are. I prompted my students to ask questions to people in other countries as that is a big part of our next unit on Culture and am now trying to find people to answer said questions. If you are outside of the U.S. and interested in this brief survey, any response is wonderful.

The link is here in a Google Form. No names or email addresses are collected.

Thank you!

Has anyone had problems buying the Benin Visa online due to 3DS security credit card issues?

I have been having problems purchasing a visa online due to the fact that Ecobank implement 3DS security authentication on the e-visa.bj website. The problem is that most USA credit or debit cards are not fully upgraded to work with the 3DS authentication protocol. I tried 14 different credit/debit cards. Even friends have tried to help. The Benin embassy in the USA says they are aware of the problem, which has been ongoing for at least 50 days. They literally told me to keep trying until I get lucky(Yes!). Has anyone else experienced this, or better yet, figured out a solution? Please share. Thank you.

Study Abroad Academy for Africans

Africans have the lowest enrollment in higher ed abroad so I created a virtual academy for them (us).

 All students in Africa welcome. The academy is to prepare students 12-21 years old for opportunities like scholarships, etc.

It's a highly interactive program with mentors and other services. Lesson topics include college prep, ACT/SAT, funding, etc. Www.ugscholar.org

How safe is Benin for foreigners?

My friend and I are looking forward to visiting a mutual friend in Benin. He has been living there for several years working for an international organisation. He lives around Natitingou. When reading up on travel advise from our government the north of Benin is advised against all travel. He says its perfectly fine to visit as he has been living there for years and never had any problems. What are your thoughts on that? Would you recommend the visit or rather advise not to go, because or security concerns?

Macron visite le Bénin et qualifie la Russie de la dernières "puissances coloniales impérialistes".

Depuis le Bénin, Emmanuel Macron a continué d'attaquer la "guerre territoriale" lancée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine.

Lors d'une conférence de presse avec son homologue béninois Patrice Talon à Cotonou, Macron a déclaré : «La Russie a lancé une offensive contre l'Ukraine, c'est une guerre territoriale qu'on pensait disparue du sol européen, c'est une guerre du début du XXe, voire du XIXe siècle. Je parle sur un continent qui a subi les impérialismes coloniaux. Il a déclaré : «une des dernières puissances impériales coloniales" après avoir lancé "une guerre territoriale » avec sa décision d'envahir un pays voisin pour y défendre ses intérêts.

Italienne déménagée au Bénin

Bonjour ! J'ai déménagé à Lokossa (Département de Mono) de l'Italie pour travailler dans un orphelinat pour garçons jusqu'à mai 2023. Je ne vais pas travailler tous les jours donc je vais avoir beaucoup de temps livre- et je voudrais m'en profiter pour visiter tous les endroits qui méritent d'être visité soit au Bénin (pas le Nord) soit dans le Togo de l'Est. J'ai besoin de conseils à propos de ça ! Aussi si vous êtes au Bénin on peut se rencontrer !
