As promised, Zachary received both his Ivorian passport and first-class air ticket to Abidjan within the next two days. He also met an official from the Ivory Coast Embassy in Italy, who explained issues concerning his citizenship switch to him.
The Ivorian Embassy official mentioned that Zachary would be entitled to several benefits, including match bonuses and travel allowances, among other perks, while playing for the Ivorian National Football team. As a true-blue Ivory Coast citizen, Zachary could also enjoy all the privileges that all Ivorians were entitled to. Whether it was buying land in Ivory Coast or voting, he could enjoy all those rights whenever he wished. And as a surprise, the official mentioned something about the Ivorian government offering Zachary some tax cuts and tax holidays if he ever decided to settle down in Ivory Coast and start businesses there.
