CAMEROONPRIDE: Cameroonian police is +10000 come on it's not everybody or all the police who treat your friends bad..maybe they were are the wrong place and met the wrong guys...you shouldn't generalize by saying nigerian are treated bad someone can read it and think it's true and start treating Cameroonian bad ...come on i know they told you better stories about Cameroon

it does not mean cameroon is completely bad. ya all are taking things too personal

The Nigerian government is currently engaging the government of Ghana on the issue of a $300,000 fee demanded as capital base for Nigerian people wishing to do business in Ghana. that does not mean we think Ghanaians are all bad
there's nothing wrong criticizing something we Nigerians don't like

Nigerians are outspoken. .who will always speak out

I have nothing against cameroon. I love your football team and yea great music.
I just don't like how they handled the bakassi issue

that because Paul Biya have made it a way that only him can rule. he disorganizes other presidential candidates
lIBYA, EGYPT these were peaceful countries years ago but look at them now

Gabonese people are fighting against Bongo's family and dictatorship. Gabon might be a peaceful country but many of them are still poor

Iz it peace we Africans are going 2 eat

not fighting against paul biya and Cameroonian's corrupt government in the name of peace is a JOKE! thats why Africans can never move forward
many cameroonians lack jobs and many don't have access to health care and your here talking abt peace

the peace in cameroon is only for the rich and paul biya's government!
Peace means more about social cohabitation than managing....Nigeria is a federation and not a "dictatorship" as you said but you and I know what's happening out there. Plus, dictator is not a bad thing especially for Africans, look at Rawlings in Ghana and look Ghana right now you'll get everything! Your vision of policy is biaised by those of the westerners, we're African and our political and social realities ARE COMPLETELY different and have been messed by these Westerners, so whatever you call Biya, Cameroon is still a very peaceful country with about 300 tribes who live together, fact.

pls don't ever compare rawlings 2 that clown paul biya grin. .rawlings chased away all the corrupt officials in Ghana. Yet paul biya is still riding with his corrupt officials and going to france to enjoy with his drag queen wife

fighting again paul biya does not mean your country is going to turn to a war zone. Cameroon is a very poor country where many cameroonians are running 2 france grin looking for jobs

Africans gained independence years ago yet still, dictators are the best ways @ the moment to change the country. we are supposed 2 be moving forward like ghana. who have forgotten abt dictatorship @ 2012.

I don't compare them I argue about your statement about dicatatorship...I don't like Biya for personal reasons but please you have many President in West Africa who are more than worst. I truly prefer Biya to any Ouattara or Wade or even Goodluck who have completely failed in this Ivoirian case, sorry but again you're searching some excuses to put some on TOP compared to others while they're the same! and some are worst. Facts are there: Biya is not the BEST AFRICAN PRESIDENT but Cameroon remains a great and peaceful country.

this is what i don't like this topic it makes us do some indecent comparison lol all are worst and bad for our countries ....Biya is not the one who puts peace or maintains peace in Cameroon. cameroonian are enough mature....Biya must go it's a fact ...now we have to find someone not much rotten and trust me it's not that easy.. so nayah do not compare worst president there is no value or pride to be the richer among the poorest

not peaceful when a dictator is ruling the country, fake peace!
THE WORST DEMOCRACY IS BETTER THAN DICTATORSHIP!
example of peaceful countries is Ghana, botswana, tanzania. .countries that the citizens are able to vote at least for there leaders . .these are the true examples of peaceful countries in Africa

criticizing cameroon does not mean your country is crap. check the several Ghanaians threads made by Nigerians abt Ghanaian trade policies
that's not true

I agree Biya is NOT the reason why we're peaceful, but sorry we need to be objective he contributes to that, just check how he shares the power and you'll understand. I don't compare anybody I don't like it but let's face the truth and objectivity. None African country is better than its counterparts and this is typically African, useless comparison. Africa is facing the same problem

fake peace. .poor cameroonians faced with a corrupt, wicked government in the name of peace
Ivory coast, senegal are all french puppets. all the french puppet family. no difference, ouattara was put there by the french

a great country but not peaceful. the peace is only enjoyed by the govt and few rich. .while the rest wallow in poverty
theres nothing 2 be proud of when many Cameroonians are suffering in a potentially rich country the case for Nigeria too

the only pple that can be arrogant in west and central Africa like smoothcrim grin are the Ghanaians

Re read my statement African countries facing the same problems: Corruption ( ask Somalia), bad governance, bad wealth spreading
Biya maintains this peaceful atmosphere, why do you think every single ethnic group in Cameroon is in power. Being disagree with a governance regime doesn't mean hidding or not taking some things in count

what do you mean by every single Ethnic group is in power? we got 300Ethnic group are they all in power ...what is the definition of power...furthermore i'm not an Ethnocentric so i don't care about which Ethnic group manage the country...Biya failed(too slow) to establish a good decentralization some Cameroonians have to still come in Yaounde Douala to have some papers and that's a shame .....the power is too centralized on Biya and Yaounde ..i was not talking about an Ethnic group i don't want Cameroon to become like Nigerian with ethnic rotation

LMAO! I don't want to but to maintain a peaceful country with about 300 ethnic groups you have to do some sacrifices, it"s not easy you know! as for me Biya has completely failed in terms of domestic affairs ( laxism, corruption...) but objectively he has contributed to social coordination.
Re: The Great Songhai Empire by onila(f): 4:21pm On Jul 24, 2012
I would rather have elections in which a new leader is elected every four years (eight year max for relections) than have one person rule me for life. At least you stand a better chance at electing a good leader and someone with new ideas than have some grandfather with old ideas rule you since 1982, as in Cameroon, or since 1969, as in Libya.

Ghana has shown us the way. If Ghanaians and botswana can do it why cant we Nigerians be like them
