My brother, dual citizenship neither recognized nor allowed in cameroon

It does not matter. It's the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. When entering Cameroon, use her passport ditto for Nigeria. Don't show any Nigerian official your Cameroonian passport or vice versa.

P.S. For this kind of act, don't aspire to run for an elected position or accept a public appointment if not you would be required to let go of one passport (presumably the Cameroonian).

Well, I will just advise you to follow your mind. I was born and bred in Benin Republic. But my dad is Nigerian. Today, I'm carrying a Nigerian passport. I'm eligible for both. But I will choose Nigeria any day any time. If not for bad leadership we shouldn't be comparing Nigeria with any country in Africa. I have a lot of Beninese friends who would do anything to get a Nigerian passport.

Nigerians don't tend to appreciate Nigeria because they grew up here. But growing up in a francophone country I know Nigeria is far better.

Francophone Africa is a shithole na. ALL are horrible places to live.

It's even a more pronounced version of a shithole considering her size and natural resources. One aspect to show you ALL are shitholes is the size of their economies - no francophone country's economy is amongst the top five Sub-Saharan African economies.

Bro, you’ve answered the question yourself.
Cameroon doesn’t recognise Dual Nationality.
Nigeria does.

You want to go to America, a country that recognises dual Nationality which means that with a Nigerian Passport and fulfilling all obligations, you can also become an American Citizen while still a Nigerian Citizen.
Cameroonian passport wouldn’t let you become American.

Forget all the nonsenses you hear. In the comity of Nations, Nigerians as a people and not as a government are known more for their achievements rather than their short fallings. You can tap into that.

Corruption wise, Nigeria and Cameroon are basically same. Both countries are fantastically corrupt according to corruption indexes. So?

One thing you should know is that majority of the landlocked countries in Africa are francophone especially in west Africa, hence their condition. Also note that Gabon is better than majority of Anglophone Africa including Nigeria even with a small economy.

Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone are abut to the Atlantic ocean.

Mali, Benin Republic, Togo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritania, Guinea Conakry. If I add Cameroon, that makes it eight.

If you must lie, please do so intelligently.


Second bold, Gabon is presumably doing well because she's smaller. It doesn't change the fact that it's a shithole. Assessing countries' economies on per capita basis is quite mischievous esp when the governance systems are dysfunctional.

Again, I reiterate, the vast vast majority of Sub-Saharan Africa is a shithole but francophone Sub-Saharan Africa is a bigger shithole. These are facts and they don't care about your feelings.

Well let me educate you. Besides Southern and Eastern African countries like Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and South Sudan how many Anglophone African countries that are landlocked and bereaved of natural resources like Niger, Mali, Chad, Central African Republic, Burundi and Rwanda?

Even the ones with access to the sea how many Anglophone countries are doing better than Francophone?
Note that France colonised the largest part of Africa, but were not strategic in choosing colonies unlike the British and Portuguese.

Do both. Nigeria is messed up already and no solution in sight except break-up or restructure.

You can always run into cameroon when trouble starts in Nigeria. I pity those trouble makers in Nigeria who don't have a place to run to.

Do both passports and identify with cameroonians in Nigeria and cameroon.

Hi nairalanders. I'm about to do my international passport, and totaly i'm confuse, i spent much time searching on google for weeks i'm yet to decide what is best for my future, is not easy to make such decision. That's why am here to seek an advice from public, i'm in my early 20's with nigeria being my country of birth, and also eligible to be citizen of cameroon through my parents who are 100% cameroonians based in nigeria for almost 3 decades, we recently travel to cameroon, i love the place and the people are friendly, very organize country with law abiden citizen. What i noticed in my short visit to cameroon. One can't even buy bus ticket without
cameroon national identity card, or lodge in a hotel, or rent a house without idendity card, for foreigners, they must provide all necessery document in order to be issued ticket, is very rare to hear the indigines discusing politics publicly no tribalism no religions sentiment, and its citizen has the equal right Irrespective of tribes,

I have been to Cameroon in recent time, and I can tell you that with all its problems and warts, Nigeria is still light years ahead of Cameroon. Cameroonians are docile, intimidated, and caged, so much so that they can not stand up against the misrule of emperor Paul Biya aka the force of experience that has kept Cameroon underdeveloped for the past 40years and more.

Simple things as bank transfer on mobile which is taken for granted in Nigeria is rocket science in Cameroon. In terms of infrastructure, Cameroon is still in 1970s compared to Nigeria. If you are forward-looking, go for Nigeria Passport, it is not the best in Africa but it is by far better than the Cameroonian passport except of course if France is your eldorado and ultimate, then you may go for the Cameroon Passport.

Bro you're 100% correct. I experienced just a little when my vessel was there I couldn't believe a country that we share border with will not permit me free access into their country from the ship. As soon as myself and the Ghanaian crew got to the jetty gate show our passport they call police and took us to somewhere and they only English the police lady spoke was "you all are under arrest" and the rest she was speaking French of which we don't don't understand. So not until after keeping us for some hours she then ask for 60k cfa equivalent of $100 then, so we contributed 50k cfa and gave her , she then called me and started speaking strong pidgin I was like so money don enter pocket na now you remember say we share border and we be sisters I told her madam I'm going back to my ship enjoy your country. Since then I never step my foot on their soil.

There are some places you will travel to and you will know that Nija is far better.

As for the guy that wants to know about which citizen to adopt weigh your options by comparing which country has economic relevance and relationships globally with other nations cos nija has relevance in most countries and are accepted . Green passport don carry me enter different places and I tell you I still like Nija even though things are not okay.

Op, that you were born in Nigeria does not qualify you for Nigerian citizenship if your both parents are Cameroonians. Therefore, you are a Cameroonian by nationality but not a Nigerian. Read the Nigerian citizenship act...


I think that guy should be watch out for and make sure he isn't issued the Nigerian passport. cool

Sure when they came Cameroon was not that good, but right now its better.

They are now more Nigerian than Cameroonians and are probably used to Nigeria now than there own country. Afterall there are Nigerians living in Afghanistan.
