I do not think the Cameroun dual citizen story here is true

Samuel Eto'o Fils, the football legend is a naturalized citizen of Spain since 2007 - How come he is still having a Camerounian Passport?
So is Carlos Kameni and Thomas N'kono - both former goalkeepers for Les Lions Indomptable are both Spanish Citizens by naturalization.
Eto'o 's son Etienne Pineda is a Spanish citizen and yet he plays for Cameroun's U-20 Lioneaux - and almost half of the players in the Indomitable Lions are birth or naturalized citizens of France. So is the law meant for the poor or what ? I beg clear me

Even the President of Cameroon along with a host of ministers do have dual citizen. However the law exempts people of extraordinary talents like Eto'o. It is just for the common man. I have friends living in the US who needs visas to get back to Cameroon cos the now have a green back.

Mrnairalandd:
If you listen to those who have never seen an airport talkless of travelling abroad, then you r doomed.

My Advice: I have lived in UK and US for over 20years.

If you r going to France only, then take your Cameroon passport.

But if your destination is one of these countries-USA, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and finally Republic of Ireland, please, stay away from that shit called Cameroon Passport.

Go to France and see how your brothers are suffering in Slums and Calais to Dover with Cameroon passport.

The only Cameroonian i ever met in USA was wasting away in Immigration Detention Centre while Nigerians usually get each other back

Don’t listen to ignorant Nigerians telling you to take Cameroon passport cos that shit won’t take you anywhere here compare to Nigerian passport.

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,

There is no tribalism in Cameroon?

You are a big empty yellow Jerry can.

The francophone and anglophone crisis which has dragged for so many years - what started it?


Friendship?

Brother, your parents are of Cameroonian descent, they are only naturalized in Nigeria. Go and get your Cameroonian heritage, you were born in Nigeria with a Nigerian birth certificate - that counts for something. If your parents pass now(may they live long and Well) you will have more hurdles to prove and possess your Cameroonian heritage.

Moreso, you just upped your opportunities. You can become bilingual, the Cameron reputation is not as terrible as the Nigerian rep both regionally and internationally, with a Cameroonian citizenship, you don't have to suffer the stigma of being a 'Nigerian' (fraudsters/tricksters/flashy/morally inept and so on) courtesy the bad egg Nigerians.

Go get your heritage abi Cameroun say e no want you?

Elonmuskfan:
if you intend to travel very soon and have secured your travel funds and can elope in 2021,2022,2023 then get your Cameroon passport.

It is easier to be granted American visa or other top world visas if you’re applying as a Cameroonian, than as a Nigerian.


Later in life if you want to come down here and take up government position, appointment or job, you can obtain a Nigerian passport, identity and probably abandon/denounce your Cameroonian own, and enjoy the wealth that comes with such big government position you’ve landed in Nigeria.

You noticed all these in how many days? Have you asked those who are visiting Abuja or Lagos for the first time what they think about Nigeria? My point is, you were in a vacation mode and the feeling of newness is easily confused with being better. You were born in Nigeria and you grew up in Nigeria, so I see why you'd feel the pasture is greener on the other side. Anglophone countries only hear about fellow anglophone countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, etc). We don't read much about francophone countries (you probably do cause your parents are from there) so we don't really appreciate thier issues. I'm not saying Nigeria is better but you should know Cameroon has its own problems ranging from secessionism to corruption to not-so-good economy. The police as just as corrupt as they are in Nigeria. Which politics do you want to discuss when the same person has been ruling the country long before you were born? You think they have equal rights and some people want to create thier own country? Are you bilingual?

Cameroon used to be a popular destination for Nigerians (mainly Igbos) cause it allowed them to tap into the francophone market which was non-existent in Nigeria. They also got along well with the business minded Douala people more than they did with the Hausas up North. While things have changed, it's still a relatively peaceful country or, at least, it seems to be. This means less stress and probably longer life span. On the other hand, Nigeria is a bigger country with a more viable and relatively more independent economy. This means more opportunities and more cash flow. With a corruption index of 27 and 25, I don't see any significant difference in that regards. Nigeria has the benefits and issues of bigger, more complex and more dynamic country while Cameroon has the benefits and issues of a smaller and more easy going country.

I know I didn't give a definite answer but I hope I, at least, gave some insights. Whatever you do, know that your choice is not for you alone but for your unborn kids. Seeing that you are qualified for both passports, why not get them all?

chris51:
Get both passports. Nigeria allows dual citizenship. If you are in Cameroon, keep your Nigerian passport under lock and key.
With this you have the best of both worlds
