We need to come together as a people and work on our civic sense. Our civilization is nothing to write home about, yes, we aren't a particularly rich country and we are a third world nation for a reason, but that's no excuse for the amount of dirt we have in our towns. You can blame everyone for almost everything that happens to us as a people (which I personally disagree with as a mindset, by the way), but you can't blame anyone else for the amount of dirtiness we have in our communities. Yaounde, Douala, Buea, Limbe, Bamenda, Bafoussam, all of them have heaps of dirt on the roads.

Yes, the government and the councils have a part to play, and they are quite frankly doing a horrible job too, but we as people don't even dispose of our dirt properly in the first place.

Let's not even talk about eating groundnuts and throwing all the peels on the road as we eat, or roasted corn, or plums.

Let's not dive into how we dispose of dirt from moving cars, buses and bikes either, tossing wrappers and peels straight out the window like the road is a bin.

This is actually so perplexing because Cameroonians, in their houses, are for the most part clean. Even a lot of poor people whose houses might not always look the best still hold on to personal hygiene as something to stand on. But the moment we step out of our personal spaces, we turn into zombies of some sort, like the mess outside isn't our problem anymore.

I truly believe people underestimate how much a place (city, town, country) being clean plays a huge part in why they choose to live there. Yes, economic viability is at the top for most people, but cleanliness is high, very high, especially in this social media world. Do you know how many people travel abroad and their whole mindset is to take photos to show people their new, clean environments? Yes, I know it's also about infrastructure, but if you have dirty infrastructure, it's not attractive to anyone, no matter how modern it is underneath the grime.

We must consciously try to fix this problem. The older generation is horrible in this aspect, they have a negative civic sense, but we have to educate them anyway. Talk to your mothers, fathers, uncles, aunties, grandmothers, and so on, to do better and be conscious. Educate a fellow passenger when they throw something out the window, something they could just hold or put in their bag and dispose of properly once they reach their destination. It also starts with us: carry a small bag for your own trash when you're out, and don't be afraid to call it out gently when you see someone litter.

PS: if I were president, littering would be a fined offense. Maybe that incentive would flip the current behaviour. I'd also really vote for a Cameroonian candidate who puts this as a priority in their potential policies. It's that important to me.

I think it's getting worse, and our towns are getting dirtier by the day.

Let me know what you think, and what you've done in your own little way to fight this issue.

Hey everyone! ❤️
I’m a photographer currently developing a portrait series about queer culture and LGBTQ+ people in different countries around the world. I’m interested in sharing personal stories, identities, experiences, and perspectives through photography.
I’ll be in Douala, Cameroon, from December 22 to January 2, and I’d love to connect with queer people who might be interested in being part of this project or who could help me connect with others in the community.
My goal is to create honest, respectful portraits that give people the opportunity to express themselves and share their stories in their own way. Participation would be entirely voluntary, and I completely understand the importance of privacy and safety. Anonymous portraits or images that don’t reveal anyone’s identity are absolutely possible.
If this sounds interesting to you, or if you have any suggestions, feel free to comment or send me a private message. I’d love to connect and hear from you!
Thank you for reading ❤️

my instagram is @fxederic if you want to connect:)

For our tissue culture company we are looking for someone that can provide us with preferably life plant tissue or fresh seeds from the Iboga tabernanthe plant.

We are aware of the destruction of the habitat of this beautiful species and therefore our goal is to multiply the plant through plant tissue culture. This way the plant doesn't have to get harvested in the wild and nature hopefully can recover a bit.

If you can help us out we would love to get in contact with you. Looking forward to a DM!

Cameroonians living in America:
Do you feel American, Cameroonian, or both—or simply Cameroonian living in America?
Do you feel more connected to American politics and culture, Cameroonian politics and culture, or both?

I know it’s illegal but some people have access to it. Anyone know any plugs in Douala? Or places I can freely smoke? Asking for a friend.

About three years ago I built PidginPal, an English to Pidgin translator, and eventually stopped giving it much attention.

Then someone emailed saying it had never worked for them and asking, “Abeg you fix it okay???” Fair enough. It made me go back and rebuild it.

One part I'm trying to improve is how the app handles context. A translation might be understandable but still sound wrong for the person you're talking to or the situation you're in.

I've added regional options and explanations of wording and tone, but these use AI and can still get things wrong. I'm the developer, so this is a post about my own app. It's on iOS and Android, with free core translation and one new explanation per day, regional options, context, history and favourites are in Pro.

Would you find something like this useful for understanding messages, helping friends or family learn, or something else? I'd like to understand the real use cases rather than assume.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if any of you, particularly members of the diaspora, invest in African financial markets (shares or bonds), especially through the Central African Stock Exchange (BVMAC - Bourse des Valeurs Mobilières de l’Afrique Centrale).

I am myself an investor and work for a licensed stock brokerage firm (stockbroker) operating in this market.

I would be delighted to exchange views with you on investment opportunities, how the market works, the listed securities, and the prospects they offer.

I am also looking forward to discussing international investments, financial and funding mechanisms, and opportunities for portfolio diversification across African and global markets.

If you already invest or would like to learn more, feel free to send me a private message (inbox).

Looking forward to connecting and exchanging ideas with you.

EDIT: Investment opportunities are not limited to Cameroon; they extend across all six CEMAC member states and include both government securities and private companies

Bonjour r/Cameroon 🇨🇲

Je travaille actuellement avec l’artiste camerounais Eric Chimita pour faire découvrir sa musique. Nous venons de publier le visualizer officiel de « Love You », une chanson qui mélange rumba, amour et sonorités camerounaises.

Nous aimerions sincèrement avoir votre avis sur la chanson et le visualizer : qu’avez-vous aimé et que pourrions-nous améliorer ?

Merci pour votre écoute et votre soutien à la musique camerounaise. 🙏🏾🎶

Minister Alamine Ousmane Mey has signed a loan agreement with the Islamic Development Bank, in Bangkok, of 139.2 billion frs, for the rehabilitation of the Douala-Bafoussam Road. More loans being taken out… we will be in soooo much trouble not long from now

Quick update on my earlier post: the test sub is now ready at r/locable.

It’s a map where you can pin a photo by posting it in the sub with the map flair and the coordinates directly in the title.

Since I built it with r/Cameroon in mind, the map used to be centered on Cameroon, but it now adapts to where most of the posts come from.

There are some test posts on the sub that you can use as a reference. Feel free to post a few photos and try it out. Since it’s a test, I’d really like to hear what’s confusing or broken, especially when placing a pin on the map.

I’ll publish the app and the source code soon. Thanks to anyone who tries it.

I have many books about Roman, Greek, American, and Russian history. Living in America, it makes sense that I’ve learned a lot about the history here, but I also want to learn more about where I come from.
Where can I find good books about Cameroonian history and culture, or West and Central African history more broadly? Which books would you recommend?

Hi everyone, I just moved to Tilburg from Cameroon. I was wondering if there are any fellow Cameroonians or a Cameroonian community living here to connect with?

Currently in Limbe. Does anyone around here know a place that can repair?

Is it even possible to repair? I keep seeing online it's pointless, besides I have no money to even start with

Un client vous recommande à quelqu’un. La personne cherche votre entreprise sur Google pour voir vos produits, connaître vos services ou trouver votre contact. Est-ce qu’elle trouve facilement les bonnes informations ?

Quand on gère un commerce, un restaurant ou une petite entreprise, on ne peut pas toujours répondre aux mêmes questions toute la journée : « Vous êtes situés où ? », « Vous proposez quoi exactement ? », « Comment on fait pour commander ? »

Un site bien fait permet au client de se renseigner, même quand vous êtes occupé ou que vous avez déjà fermé.

À Douala, une boutique peut présenter ses articles et orienter les clients vers WhatsApp pour commander. À Yaoundé, un cabinet peut expliquer ses services et recevoir des demandes de rendez-vous. À Buea, un hôtel peut montrer ses chambres et permettre aux visiteurs de préparer leur séjour.

C’est là que le développement web devient utile pour nos entreprises : quand il facilite le travail et aide les clients à passer à l’action.

Encore faut-il que le site s’ouvre rapidement sur téléphone, que les informations soient à jour et que le contact soit facile à trouver. Si le client doit trop chercher, il risque de laisser tomber.

À qui confier son site au Cameroun ?

MboaGeek, TENET et BigTee font partie des agences à regarder. Pour choisir, demandez à voir leurs réalisations, expliquez votre besoin et vérifiez ce qui est prévu après la livraison.

Aujourd’hui, on met un accent particulier sur BigTee, une agence basée à Yaoundé et Buea.

BigTee propose la création de sites, de boutiques en ligne et d’applications adaptées aux besoins des entreprises. L’agence travaille aussi sur la présence des sites dans les résultats de recherche et leur entretien après la mise en ligne.

Parmi les projets présentés sur son site, on retrouve Ultimate Beauty Spa, Property237 et Smile Organization : des activités différentes, avec des besoins différents.

Avant de vous lancer, posez-vous une question simple : qu’est-ce que mes clients doivent pouvoir faire facilement sur mon site ?

Voir vos produits ? Demander un devis ? Réserver ? Vous contacter ?

La réponse vous aidera à investir dans quelque chose d’utile pour votre activité.

Pour découvrir les réalisations de BigTee ou parler de votre projet : bigtee.dev⁠.

Et vous, qu’est-ce qui vous freine encore pour créer le site de votre entreprise ?

The military court in Yaoundé has sentenced 66 people arrested during the 2025 post-election protests. Sentences range from six months suspended to 15 months in prison, for offenses including rebellion, spreading false news, and unlawful assembly.
According to lawyer Ndam, a member of the defense team, some detainees could be released soon. The defense intends to appeal. The team estimates that around one hundred people remain detained in connection with this crisis.
This is very upsetting and keeps happening without fail. Brings back very unpleasant memories!!

Do international fast food chains like McDonalds, burger king, wendys, taco bell, ect... exist in cameroon?

Bonjour,

Je serai en visite dans votre beau pays prochainement. Je viens de Suisse et je me demandais quel cadeau je pourrais apporter à mes connaissances sur place ?

Qu'est-ce que la Suisse vous inspire ?

Je pense à du chocolat, du vin et bière mais auriez-vous des idées qui vous donneraient envie quand vous pensez à la Suisse ?

Merci beaucoup!

Besides language, what are some other differences between these groups.

What are the most economical places to stay in limbe for international tourists from other countries? Tourists from china, japan, korea, brazil, argentina, ect... What kind of accomodations would be most economical?
