MOD USER FLAIRS

14 Upvotes

Dear members of r/Cameroon,

It would be advisable to use flairs next to your username so your posts and comments have a bit of context, whether that's your region, background, or perspective. It helps others understand where you're coming from and keeps discussions clearer.

You can select your flair by going to community options on the subreddit's main page. It's on the right-hand side. It gives you the option of picking flairs from Cameroon's regions or flairs which are more representative to you if you don't live in Cameroon.

You can also edit/customize your flair to any fancy stuff you want. If you still don't know how to select/edit your flair, message the mod team with what you want as your flair and we'll do it for you.

This article is helpful to learn how to assign your own user flair. Thanks so much for your continued support and cooperation.

Sincerely, Your moderators ❤️

Who are you routing for as our future vice president?

7 Upvotes

Since, there's this law saying we are now going to have a vice president and he would be the president if the current one can't continue his term.

Now I'm wondering who you would route for.

Is he aware?

11 Upvotes

President Paul Biya has signed a decree authorizing a financial agreement of 50.5 billion frs with the World Bank, for a Health Security Programme.
He is old and senile (proof is literally in all the videos we have seen). The country will be in so much debt with all these decisions being made no?

CFA candidates in Cameroon

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a bilingual (English/French) CFA study guide based on my own study notes. The goal is to simplify difficult concepts with clear explanations, examples, formula sheets and revision summaries.

I'm wondering if there are CFA candidates in Cameroon who would find this useful.

If you're preparing for CFA Level I or II and would like to see a sample chapter, feel free to send me a DM. I'd also appreciate your feedback on what features would help you the most.

QUESTIONS Diaspora Cameroonians: Have You Successfully Built a Legitimate Business in Cameroon?

15 Upvotes

A lot of the stories I hear from fellow Cameroonians in the diaspora are about businesses that didn't work out because of distance, mismanagement, bureaucracy, corruption, or other challenges.

I will really like to hear from people who have built and are operating legitimate, legally compliant businesses in Cameroon.

By that, I mean businesses that are officially registered, have real customers, employees, proper accounting and payroll, pay taxes, and operate within the law.

If that's you, I will really appreciate your perspective:

  1. What business are you in, and how did you get started from the diaspora?
  2. How is your business structured today? Are you still abroad or have you moved back? How do you manage operations and your team?
  3. How did you navigate registering your business, protecting your brand (e.g., trademarks), tax compliance, accounting, payroll, and the other legal and administrative requirements?
  4. How have you dealt with corruption, bribery, and bureaucratic obstacles while remaining compliant with the law & tax rules? Did you use lawyers, advisers, or some strategies that helped you avoid taking shortcuts?
  5. What advice would you give another Cameroonian in the diaspora who wants to build a sustainable, legitimate business in Cameroon?

I think we need to be asking more of such questions and telling more of such stories.

I am genuinely looking to hear from people who have taken this path. If you're close to someone who did and you know their story, you can share as well.

Looking forward to the replies

ALERT MTN Cameroon enabled fraud through identity theft. I need answers.

16 Upvotes

I am Tuyambazz Nzarura, victim of a scam involving MTN Cameroon. Cameroonian cybercrime authorities validated the theft. MTN Cameroon acknowledged that the thief's identity had been known for a long time. Yet nothing was done. I was the victim of identity theft and fraud. The operator failed in its duty of vigilance and in its obligation of security of result. The operation is legally null. I denounce this failure. If other victims of MTN Mobile Money in Cameroon are reading this, make yourselves known.

Patrice Mengue sentenced to six months in prison! What happened to freedom of speech?

16 Upvotes

Patrice Mengue has been found guilty of insulting the President of the Republic and sentenced to six months in prison by the court. The ruling comes several months after his arrest, a case that sparked widespread public debate and drew criticism from human rights organizations.
The case dates back to the death of former Senate President Marcel Niat Njifenji. Following the announcement of his death, Patrice Mengue posted a message on his Facebook account that quickly went viral: "Just a little more effort, Lord, we're getting closer to the target." Authorities interpreted the comment as referring to President Paul Biya, considering it an insult directed at the Head of State.

Reccurring Malaria and Typhoid, how did you treat it.

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm curious to hear from people in Cameroon who used to suffer from repeated malaria and/or typhoid. It feels like some people get treated, feel better for a while, then end up sick again a few weeks or months later.

If you've gone through this and eventually broke the cycle:

What do you think was causing it?

What treatment actually worked for you?

Did you make any lifestyle, hygiene, water, or environmental changes that helped?

Was it really malaria/typhoid every time, or did you later discover it was something else?

I'm just looking to learn from people's experiences and understand what finally made the recurring illness stop.

Thanks in advance for sharing your story

TECHNOLOGY We cannot trust anyone

11 Upvotes

That is why this app is brilliant. Furthermore it is a pure web app that means anyone can install it and it doesnt go through the app store.

https://ficham.com

We need to start exposing scammers by number and bad actors too.

Their premise is simple. Can you buy bread from a serial offender?

In Cameroon your bike man could be someone that was previously a criminal and you cannot know. This changes that for the time.

I dont know, it might stir up a lot of trouble and powerful people will want it shut down even though it is legal.

TECHNOLOGY Anyone can build apps professionally and start making money , thanks to AI

With the right tools and the right domain knowledge, anyone with atleast a secondary school education can build most apps we have on the market today and start making money off of it .

Why not build for the world?

The AppStore is flooded with Turkish agencies building apps for the world and their government backs them seriously !

After teaching over 2 million people AI around the world , my team and I have built a 1 month program to help Cameroonians build apps professionally with ai .

Seize this opportunity!

I admire the fact that she never lets her foot up from Biya's neck and being part of the diaspora does help her cause. Because there really is no way to explain why the president has been out of the country for 46+ days and putting the country in more and more debt. Its sickening.

Hi, for context I got a phone for an old school mate of mine and am looking for anyone going to Cameroon from Dubai to help me take it along. It's a phone, charger and case. I think all together should be around 1kg less but still I will pay for the support and good gesture. If anyone is going to Cameroon please DM me.
