LENJO Valery IS VERY ANGRY. WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM.

 



The more I get to look into issues of this our country erhh, the more my heart hurts.  I’ve decided not to look again.


Last week after my trip from Yaoundé, we arrived very late at midnight. 

Lucky enough i found a bito take me back home from Akwa to Bonaberi. 


I pleaded with him to take me for 1000frs but he refused and claimed I should pay 1500frs. While I was still thinking of what to do, a white man who also traveled with us stopped the same bike and proposed 300frs for rond point Deido which is just 250frs to my stop in Bonaberi.


 I was surprised this young man accepted him to climb without thinking. He shamefully called me back, took my 1000frs and asked  me to climb behind the white man. Since It was late and i didn’t have a choice, i climbed though fuming with anger. 


While on the bike, thé strange White man told me proudly “I’m lucky to climb on the same bike with him”. God oo!!! It was thanks to maturity I didn’t kill somebody that day. I looked at the person talking and I was just dumb struck. 


We are our problem in this country. The white men are just seizing the opportunity to exploit us more. Since we already hate ourselves.

A Stereotype About Cameroon: Africa-In-Miniature

  My country Cameroon, as well put on https://www.everyculture.com/Bo-Co/Cameroon.html, has diverse cultural, religious, and political traditions as well as ethnic variety. English and French are her official languages, a heritage of her colonial past as both a colony of the United Kingdom and France from 1916 to 1960. This means two of the most popular languages in the world are used in Cameroon. The above factors and many more, together with her location usually described as “The Armpit of Africa”, sparked a popular stereotype mainly by tourist literature, her being considered “Africa in miniature”. Asserting that she offers all the diversity of Africa, in climate, culture, and geography, within its borders. Some might question this, but based on my experiences and research, I think it might be safe to agree so. Well, let us find out.   In the context of language, not only do her inhabitants speak both English and French, regarded as some of the most popular languages in the worl

THE POWER OF YOUTHFULNESS

I am writing this article at the age of 27yrs old and in my youthful age.  I remember when I was traversing to this stage of my life (from adolescence to adult), I will dream of fancy things like, -          To one day fry a tray full of eggs and slice it into pieces like a cake. -          To play football and be a superstar like Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon. -          To become a well-known Genetic engineer and add value to humanity. -          To party every day and make merry with friends. -          Etc. Funny enough, as I am writing to you now, -          I am undergoing a transformation to become a vegetarian, -          I don’t have the patience to sit for 90 minutes and watch football talk less of playing it, -            I am a Computer scientist and Digital entrepreneur who practically spend 3/4 th of the day before the computer. -          I am an introvert and don’t find fun in joining gatherings, clubbing and listening to loud music with high bits or pitch. -
