Lol. You got me laughing with a lot of things you said. This looks like a senate grilling and I will do my best to answer.

Yes we di talk pidgin. We own pidgin get small difference with wuna own. Orginally na
anglophones them di talk pidgin, but now so the whole country donc di learnam.

We do practice democracy but like every democracy in the world it has its flaws. Paul Biya became president in 1982 after Ahidjo resigned for health reasons. It is said Biya who had risen to Prime Minister planned with Ahidjo's doctor to deceive him to resign for health reasons..Lol

In 1984 Ahidjo having been sidelined by Biya orchestrated a failed coup etat that saw him self exiled. Ahidjo himself was a dictator for 22 years. He suceeded in killing lots of freedon fighters and silencing political oponents to form a one party state before Biya took over. Not to mention it was under his presidency that the Federal Republic of Cameroon fraudulently became a Republic of Cameroon.

When Biya took power he followed with the one party system that was akin to much of Africa. By 1990 economic crisis brought about discontent that led to popular uprising. Multi party politics was born and a first real competitive election organised in 1992. It is alleged the opposition won but was cheated giving Biya 40% and the closest opposition canditate 36%. After the election, the anglophone stronghold of the opposition fell into chaos that lasted for a year.

A constitution in 1992 had put the presidential term for five years and a two times maximum mandate. In 1997 the main opposition rooted in the English speaking region boycoytted the election asking for electoral reforms. Biya won easily this time around. During his 1997 mandate Biya was able to pass through the rubber stamp parliament an amendment to the presidential term from 5 years to seven years and a maximum two term mandate.

By 2004 elections he had amassed some opposition parties to his side...Lol. The main opposition which had its roots in the English speaking area had become weak. Another opposition with roots in the Muslim North had alligned with Biya. So despite cries of rigging by the opposition he won easily in 2004. During that tenure he had the rubber stamp assembly with his party lead scrap the presidential limit term from two term to indefinite..Democracy for you. Again in 2011 he won easily.

By 2018 the anglophone crisis had displaced and compromisd the position of the anglophone rooted party as the main opposition. However it gave rise to a new opposition rooted in the francophone area led by an international lawyer. Despite the opposotion candidate claiming victory before elections results were revealed in the 2018 Elections Biya ended up getting 72% of the vote. Such is the story of Cameroon democracy with an 87 years old legitimate president in the eyes of the laws. If Trump had his way he will do exactly like Biya.

You sound as though countries colonised by France live in suffering while those by Britain are doing so well headed by Nigeria. Lol Nigeria might be the biggest economy in Africa and the most populous but its very far from being the most prosperous with regards to living conditions , human development index and GDP per capital.

Unlike what you might have heard most citizens of Former French colonised countries live way better than most Nigerians. LOL Of the 54 countries in Africa Nigeria is the 25th in term of human development index. Countries like Gabon which were French colonies have minimum wages four times higher than that of Nigeria.

Cameroon is the biggest country in the CEMAC sub region in terms of GDP and population. The CFA francs has been the currency after independence. The CFA has its disadvantages as well as its advantages. For good reason it has remained the currency of choice for some Former French colonised countries.

Now lets look at the economies of other Former French Economies that arn't using the francs CFA. Burundi, Rwanda, DRC, Guinea. These countries aren't doing any better. Most countries using the CFA are better than several African countries using their own currencies and Central Banks. Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon have stronger economies and hdi than Malawi, Zambia, Uganda etc.

Though I will like to see the CFA francs go as other not to be seen as a French puppet I do undestand it has to be handled with care lest it becomes frying pan to fire. A free fall currency for an oil dependent econony like Nigeria is a big risk. That's why the Naira falls and climbs at will. There is no certainty. I read someone complaining sardine now sells for 350N cos of inflation.

There is an advantage when the curency of a developing country or a volatile commodity dependent country is pegged to a stable currency. That's why the Ivorians couldn't afford to let the Eco be exposed to thesame troubles affecting the Naira. As much as French Africa wants to see the CFA francs go the know the stability enjoyed during he CFA has to be the hallmark of the new currency. Even the Saudi Arabian Riyal is pegged to the US dollars.

By the way I don't see why ECO has to be the name of the Ecowas currency. Eco stands for Economy. In a bid to copy the EURO the picked a geographically odd name. AFRIWAS should have made sense na

Most Nigerians always think lowly of their French speaking neighbours..Lol However those who travel to these countries soon understand the meaning to the adage The child who never goes out thinks the mother is the best cook Lol

Like I explained in the write-up Kamerun was seized from the Germans and spilt into two after world war 1. The bigger part was given to France (East Cameroon) and a small part to Britain(West Cameroon). East Cameroon learned to speak French from France and West Cameroon took English from Britain. Britain administered West Cameroon from Nigeria with West Cameroon being represented in the Nigerian house of chiefs and assembly before independence.

In 1960 East Cameroon gained independence from France and became La Republic du Cameroon. West Cameroon was deemed as too small to gain self independence and governance thus the UN gave them two options to Independence. Either the join their brothers of East Cameroon and become Federal Republic of Cameroon or join Nigeria from where Britain administered them. The voted by 74% to 26% to join East Cameroon in 1961.

In most countries the area of common borders always have people of related cultures and origin. In the South West of Cameroon the prople share a common heritage with Nigerians speaking variants of same dialect. You have got the Ejagham or Ekoi which cover the Ekok - Ikom area. Sharing common names like Ayuk, Agbor, Bessem, Obi etc.

President Paul Biya has been in power for 38 years. I can't really say for certain when he is in Cameroon or Switzerland. However the media does get to blow the situation out of propotion.

The war to secede by the English speaking regions will bring some changes in the end like reversing to a federal system but splitting into two Coutries will never happen.

No, I am not relocating to Nigeria. I had thought of moving a few years back but the wahala in Nigeria is not for me. Life is too fast paced. How did I know of nairaland?Lol This guy na SARS you be? LOL. I had my first account in nairaland sometime around 2006. Forgot the password and created this one around 2011.

We have our problems like most African countries. A country of 25 million for a land mass exactly half the size of Nigeria (475.000sqm), life for the most part is stable. A very peaceful and safe country untill much recently. The minority English speaking Region which makes up one fifth of the country has been fighting to secede.

An ideology sponsored by some of its elite living abroad, it has brought much of the English speaking regions to its knees. Armed secessionist fighters of the English Speaking region the most part stark illiterates, have targeted school children and other English speaking Cameroonians with opposing views. The end results has been horror on those living in the English speaking regions, from both an over zealous and callous army and the brutal seccesionist fighters. Scary right? Lol

That said only parts of the English speaking region has been affected. The main towns are somewhat secured. Still the area has become a shadow of it's once vibrant self. If you had asked me to tell you about Cameroon before 2016 October you would have been so impressed at all fronts.

The French speaking area which makes up the most part of the country is relatively stable and safe at this point. I live in Douala, a town of about 3.5 million people. It is the economic capital of Cameroon. A fast paced town but nothing compared to Lagos. The traffic in lagos is mind freezing. Lol

The town of Douala like most towns in Cameroon has a sizable expatriate population of Nigerians, most involved in different busines activities. The rule the vehicle spare part business. The are also heavily involved in electronics and house hold items. Same is true for Yaounde the political capital.

In English speaking towns like Bamenda Nigerians own three quaters of the stores in the main market. Heavily involved in the sales of cosmetics, shoes, and clothing. In Kumba another English speaking town that has been heavily affected by the secessionist crisis Nigerians own the market.Lol Involved in almost every aspect from cosmetics , building materials to food stuff.

Same is true for other English speaking towns like Tiko and Limbe with a huge Naija population. The majority of these merchants are of Igbo origin often betrayed by their accent. It has been rumoured that when immigration officers come checking for residence permit, unable to tell who is a Nigerian the will ask each suspect what is the sum of 15+15. Whoeversays THARTY instead of THIRTY is a Naija...Lol

In many riverine communities you will find Nigerians from Oron, Ifik and Ibiobio involved in fishing. In other areas like Muyuka they are involved in farming. Generally most French speaking Cameroonians refer to every Nigerian as Biafrans..Lol Interestingly I have never seen a Yoruba man in Cameroon. I have met just one Hausa; a tailor.

Cameroon has stable electricity. Infact very stable electricity. Hydro electricity the main source is generated from a dam in the river Sanaga. Recently another hydro power was built. Let me put it this way, for over a year and more I have had non stop electricity 24/24 from ENEO the electricity company.

While still heavily involved in Business I visited Lagos a few years back with the hope of locating my car Business there.I opened a thread to that effect on Nairaland that made front page. How people survive in Lagos gives credit to evolution. Life is so fast paced, so insecured, generators fighting with each other. I dont think my kids have seen a generator. That's to let you know how stable electricity is in Cameroon. We have our problems but electricity aint one of them nor is hunger.

Cameroon is known as Africa in miniature and that is for good reason. The country is so varied and diverse. French and English as official languages. Divided into ten regions the anglophones make up two of the ten. A twisted tale of how the country was seized fom Germany after World war one and given to both France and Britain to administer as trusteeship.

The smaller English West Cameroon region was administered as part lf Nigeria by the English and East Cameroon by the French. However by 1961 a plebescite by the UN for independence gave West Cameroon the option of joining Nigeria or East Cameroon which had obtained independence in 1960 from France. The overwhelmingly voted to join East Cameroon to form the Federal Republuc of Cameroon.

That Federal Republic has since becone Republic the root cause of the present crisis and infigting.The English speaking region now claims the rights and freedom to their legal system and learning enshrined in the original federal act has been compromised since becoming a Republic in 1972.. The anglophones argue they have been marginilised for too long and need to form.their own country Ambazonia.

Cameroon is made up of 250 different tribes and local dialects, whilst some areas are so cold others are a burning furnace. The North is made up of millions of Muslims and the South Christians; in same proportion. Despite this diversity we dont have the kind of ethnic enemity and Religious hatred I see on nairaland. In my 41 years I have never heard of a religious killing in Cameroon. Mosques and churches line thesame street. That is the glory of being a Cameroonian.

Not a nice thing to say

onyechez:

That population thing annoys me to my bone marrow, even one single refinery is not working.
We can't point to any sector in Nigeria and say it is working. The Volta lake dam built by Kwame nkrumah of Ghana is being properly managed by the past and present Ghanaian government to produce electricity but in Nigeria nothing is being managed to work.

Just wanted to point out something.

If you look at the back of your iPhone (if you own one), you'd see Designed in California and Assembled in China.

Apple is responsible for the design of their devices. In recent times; Apple has also started designing the chips in their devices (the lastest MacBooks that launched last week/two weeks ago launched with the M1 chip which was designed by Apple.

Long story short; after designing, specs are sent to their Chinese manufacturer partners (Foxcon and co) who then manufacture and assemble the devices.

Don't get it twisted...

banmee:




No. Not good advice. And it does not make any sense. Policies like these never work in a corrupt countries like Nigeria. The bureaucratic ineptitude and corruption of Nigerians will be it's down fall.

thebosstrevor1:
This does not make sense.

This same man calling to tax the super rich also have hiden offshore accounts outside Nigeria.

The same man use loopholes in the tax laws to pay very little tax.

So i don't understand what he is talking about
