Advantages Nigeria has over Cameroon:

1) Bigger market

2) Variety in several brands and options

3) Variety of eatable foods and better home cooking

4)Bigger, better money market eg stocks, bonds, Treasury bills, fixed deposit

5) Many financial apps to solve different problems

6) More African food spices and ingredients

7) More popular eg in Entertainment etc

8 ) That Nigerian people's feeling and being with people of familiar backgrounds

But u can be in Cameroon and still gain from Nigeria especially when u have linked NINS, BVNs, Sim cards, web links, bank apps, in touch with your bankers and stock brokers via email etc

However:

1) Electric meters are VERY expensive.... Why discriminate with band levels, does it mean only rich people live in areas with such bands?

2) Food is expensive ( food is cheaper in Benin Republic if u buy in bags eg 1/4, 1/2, full bags.... Cameroon even cheaper with my beloved glass cup( lol)

3) Insecurity

Note that in Cameroon their National ID card is IMPORTANT to them due to security measures, the equivalent is RP. So, your National ID Card too is important.

U can send and receive easily Western Union and the offices are in several places with NIN Card, RP, International passport.

Food for thought:

They 'envy' us that we have choice of democracy to choose our leaders but my people pray and fast tooooo much but won't do the right thing including voting rightly and later begin to gnash their teeth even more than those who we look at as not having the choice to choose their leaders(lol).

They feel bobo is too old, but SEBI his brains and legs to move to office aren't tired yet @91yrs?(Lol) Besides, he is performing better than what we have. I hope ( like us) they won't be expecting a political messiah only to be deceived with fake chg.....

Cos he be like say when person too dey enjoy, e go dey find how to taste suffer small

Addendum: One can fly into Yola( Adamawa) since we don't know how safe the road is and drive into Garaou( we need Northerners to confirm this road for us if safe too ie 6hrs+ journey).....

Anything inside Cameroon eg Garaou is SAFE, night buses too within Cameroon SAFE.

Recently, buses now move from Garaou to Ngaoundere, 6hrs+ journey for 5,000frs and Train from Ngaoundere to Yaounde which is 13hrs+ journey is now 10,000frs instead of 25,000frs..... Which magic are they performing please ( lol)?

Cameroon Update:

When u think u aren't enjoying enough only to see weepable conditions in Nigeria

We have agreed there aren't enough jobs in Africa, but at least give constant, non negotiable almost 24hrs light, so we can at least generate our own incomes and pay PHCN from it, give affordable food, affordable transportation, imagine Bamenda to Limbe which is like Lagos to Onitsha or almost Owerri being 6000-7000frs.

U see massive food sacks, buckets of Irish potatoes in Cameroon, yellow Garri, carrots, green peas, easily buyable bunches of plantains, rice, beans, cabbages, sweet yam( not sweet as such and looks like sweet potatoes), sweet potatoes, palm oil, groundnut oil( which they prefer), garden eggs( red specie is common), mushrooms, bread.

At Sens Interdit, u easily buy sim cards( MTN, ORANGE, CAMTEL, NEXTTEL), clothes/ gloves/ socks/ head warmers, dry fish, excess pepper. If u're slim, get ready to be fatter or at least fresher.

Good, affordable RETIREMENT haven... Infact, if u plan to just build one mighty house in Nigeria, u may consider, using part of the money to buy even if it's half plot of land in Cameroon and building even if it's a small bungalow.

It was in Cameroon my Power banks stopped working because I forgot to charge them.

Note that u don't gain less when in their Francophone areas compared to Anglophone areas as it's bilingual and LESS FRENCH than Ivory Coast.

Though, traveling abroad is cheaper via ECOWAS countries than through Cameroon.... And traveling through Douala is cheaper compared to Yaounde airport.

In Cameroon there is less fear of robbers, kidnappers, bandits, no constant light can be very depressing ( how do Nigerians cope?.... Not easy being a Nigerian at all), more hope of long life as they live longer Between Benin Republic and Cameroon, Benin Republic has more organized democracy( one of the best in Africa), organized generally, neater however, when u need more value for money and life, Cameroon is it, also getting kpali in Cameroon is less complicated unlike Benin Republic.

FREELANCER HAVEN:

Cameroon is a Freelancer's secret haven without spending so much and u can live there even without kpali till u have the money to do one eg Student kpali..... If u travel through land borders in and out of Cameroon, just tip them.... But if by Air/ airport, it may show u have overstayed.

Ikom- Ekok border through Bamenda is more accessible now and Peace Mass Transit bus can take u from any state they operate to Ikom-( pmtdotng).

Make sure u hold: International passport( useful later for kpali), Yellow Fever Card, and Ego.... When u have MTN and Orange sims mobile money, u can later move in and out of Cameroon with lesser cash.

Minimum wage earner is the baseline we are using for comparison. In Nigeria, minimum wage earner is exempted from tax. All those things you listed do not fall within the affordability of a minimum wage earner in Nigeria.

Who employed them in the 1st place to qualify for minimum wage, unless mostly from self sweat.

BabaRamota1980:


Going back to your samples for North Dakota and Texas, compared with Nigeria, how much money is left in pocket after deducting taxes and bills from the monthly minimum wage income?

Use the following as guide

Who pays Federal Tax on minimum wage?
North Dakota, Texas.

Nigerians on minimum wage of N30,000 or less are exempt on PAYE tax.

Who pays State Tax on minimum wage?

North Dakota.

There is no individual state tax for minimum wage in Nigeria and Texas.

Who pays Local Govt Tax on minimum wage?
North Dakota, Texas.
Nigerians are exempted.

Who contributes into Social Welfare Security?
Same as above.

Who pays deduction for health insurance?
Same as above.

Who pays retail and sales tax?
Same as above.

Who pays mortgage/renters insurance on minimum wage?
North Dakota, Texas
Nigerians do not pay mortgage/renters insurance.

Auto insurance is discretionary for all three.

Who pays utility bills - water, sewage, electricity/gas, waste disposal?
North Dakota, Texas.


...long story short, at end of month, after all deductions, a minimum wage earner in North Dakota and Texas are no better in quality of living than a minimum wage earner in Nigeria. If I complete the list of monthly debts hanging on the neck of a Dakotan, a Texan and a Nigerian, you will understand that the Nigerian minimum wager has far less pressure and comes out better than others. The comparative advantage in Dakota and Texas is safety and security, and even that one sef get k-leg, considering gun laws and rate of ownership amongst psychotic patients in the two NRA leaning states.

Make i drop pen here.

Who says Nigerians don't pay taxes?

We are pushed on every side as Nigerians.

Tax is paid directly and indirectly that is why many companies are folding up rather than thriving and many Nigerians 'caving' in and shouting 'ebinpawa'

Taxes: VAT, Deposits& Transfers 'tax', Fixed deposits tax, Stocks tax, Mutual fund tax, FGN bond tax, Treasury bill tax, shop taxes, agbero@ Motor parks and road taxes, land use charges/ 'ground rent', income tax, property sale tax, letter of administration tax etc.

Sometimes they come even in more than one way at once.

I see no reason for this.

Why are the meters still expensive in a country with so much population? N83500 is damn too much....Why can't meters be portable and affordable @ from 4000 Naira? Let people be allowed to regulate what they consume..... This is just an excuse , 24 hrs light is non negotiable

I recently travelled to the Yutucan axis of Mexico on vacation, and I am making this thread for anyone looking to take a trip to Mexico.

Visa: I did not apply for a visa as I had a valid Schengen visa. You can use your Schengen Visa as long as your stay falls within your validity. Please also check the official government website to see other visas you could use (UK, USA etc.).

Cost and General experience: I stayed in Tulum, and I found it to be expensive, and the costs are comparable to America and other major European locations. Friends that have visited Mexico City say it's cheap, though. Tulum is in the Quintana Roo state and is very touristy, with many beach clubs and activities to do. Also, the tipping culture is HUGE, and I found it to be much more than in the USA. For example, it was common to see a tip jar in the bathrooms or for your driver to expect a tip after a trip.

The food is spicy, and there's a wide menu to try and drink. Many people speak English too, but it helps if you speak a little Spanish too. It's advisable not to drink tap water in Mexico or Tulum. Though it is primarily cash-based, many places accept card payments but might charge a commission.

Advise: If travelling with your family, check out the beach club you want to visit and ensure the environment is family-friendly. Mexico is really a lovely country but has some security challenges, so keep that in mind and try to keep safe.

Happy to answer any specific questions anyone might have.




Hi, Question please:

If someone is travelling to Aruba(Carribean) and gets the Netherlands visitor's visa, can this person with this visa travel to Mexico first and connect flight onwards to Aruba to avoid USA transit visa which is usually needed if travelling to Aruba since it connects via USA? Also, when returning, can the person stop at Mexico to do some things since the person already has return ticket from Africa to Mexico previously within the limit of their visa length? How would you plan this journey please if it were you?

When their oga was busy borrowing money, sebi one 1st class oga in same party advised that instead of borrowing they shld print more money.....

And since the Finance Minister left and the Asst was more of figure head, it seemed Emefiele had to double as both CBN gov and Minister of Finance, such that sometimes even his policies were not even to the knowledge of the Min of Finance who shld be one that know her office very well and to also advise where necessary. When the chips were down, they all pointed accusing fingers on Emefiele who was trying to save APC from public shame of not knowing how to manage Nigeria well into prosperity.

APC is still the problem in Nigeria. Remove the problem and see some gleam of hope.

Politics / Re: Hardship Will End Soon, FG Tells Aggrieved Nigerians by sharone21(f): 8:01am On Mar 01
No talk of creating job again for everyone, rather how to balance unstable Naira caused by them, how to increase electricity tariff and ensure more power supply etc, things that other African countries have already achieved.

If this govt is confused about what to do, let's regionalise Nigeria and let the regions get their leaders eg South West-Tinubu, SE-Obi...SS-Goodluck &Okonjo Iweala or even Donald Duke.....North-Atiku....Let each run their CBN and do as they want concerning the borders...SS&SE will open to Cameroon and go into alliance in certain areas with them.

APC has the most heartless leaders.

OKAY, even if we agreed that there are no jobs in Africa, at least we should get some things right for the people eg affordable food, transport, constant power supply so people can generate income for themselves, let Naira to cfa be 1 to 1, freer economy eg allowing us to send WU, MG outside Nigeria not only receiving dollars from them.......

This is why it is not good to steal what belongs to others as God is a God of justice and doesnt sleep on wicked acts---Cursed mandate.
Politics / Re: PMS Price Per Litre In Nigeria & Some African Countries - StatiSense by sharone21(f): 7:07am On Mar 01
The Naira seems cheaper because Naira is grossly devalued when compared to the dollar.

What is the use of this statistics when in reality eg Intra city transport fare in Cameroon is same as Nigeria's while Inter State transport fare is cheaper.... Imagine distance from Bafoussam to Yaounde, same as Lagos to Asaba or Onitsha is 3500frs on non peak days eg Tue, Wed and Thurs and 5000frs on peak days.

Also more power supply, u hear Cameroonians shouting they dont have light even with 18hrs light on days probably maintenance or Amba boys are striking(eg 10 hrs light) in Anglophone areas and these are rare. While we thank God in Nigeria when PHCN flashes light and meter is N83500 unlike 4000-8000frs in Cameroon which is sold in any electrical store.

APC and propanganda. Pls Nigerians boot them out in the next election.

Cameroon Vs Nigeria....

The Minister of Finance in Cameroon, Mr Motaze seems to be a genius when compared to both our Minister of Finance, Wale Edun and CBN Governor.. He is both Minister of Finance and Coordinator of the economy, he will be rich for life... For here, Minister of Finance will pass his job to CBN Governor and vice versa, nobody wants to take responsibility for failure in our economy. There is global economic inflation but how each Minister handles theirs matters.... Mr. Motaze cushions it in Cameroon, our own dual partners, CBN and Minister of Finance +their oga expose Nigerians to the harsh realities of this inflation because they aren't humane politicians and not good/trained Managers of the economy.
Transport cost eg from Bafoussam to Yaounde, same distance from Lagos to Asaba or Onitsha is still 3,500 FRS on days which aren't weekends and 5000frs on weekend till date unlike Nigeria.

If u hear,EBIN PAWA in Cameroon where food is the cheapest thing u can get, know say rapture wan begin.

APC Nigerians say fuel is cheaper in Nigeria than in other African countries and this can only be true due to the devalued Naira.

They say they want to increase electricity tarrif.... If so, why not team up with Cameroon's ENEO( France helps on this) and supply portable meters between 4000-8000 FRS( maximum 5000-9000frs Single phase) where every tenant has his and can remove when going and u pay only for light used? But here, Single phase is N83,500 and Nigerians don't see anything wrong.... Seems we are becoming docile. Please, let everyone start telling the other the truth.

Food / Re: Hardship: FG Moves To Regulate Food Prices by sharone21(f): 4:11am On Feb 15
Cameroon has abundance of food.... Nigerian government should drop pride and partner with their government so they task their farmers to produce more to meet our own food needs too especially local rice( they have more than one white type of rice), cabbages, peas, groundnuts, beans, fruits ( oranges are same price with ours), pears etc

Government should release free trailers and employ drivers to take it to states as Cameroon borders us at the Northern and Southern regions and sell directly to traders.

When sufficient food floods the market, it will force down the price of products.

We can also supply them with pharmaceutical products and footwear etc.

This doesn't need rocket science.

Peg the Naira not only doing price control of market items.

Partner with Power company, ENEO in Cameroon to give us cheap, portable meters which even students can afford( it's not more than 5,000-9000frs), we are even more in population to still make profit, also to help boost power supply..... No time to be doing big brother when nothing is working in Nigeria.

Cameroon's food crops and fruits are now FAR cheaper than that of Nigeria as their farmers are hard working, less greedy and no Boko Haram issues.

Besides, there are variety of stuffs, not until the Hausas bring carrots, spinach, cabbage etc to the South before we( Southerners) see such, in Cameroon, sooooo may and varieties eg purple, green, white cabbages.... black, red, brown beans sold in sacks.....

U can also use apps like Chipper cash( can also send through it to your dollar account@$2 fee), Klasha etc.... U can go to play store to see their individual email to write them.
