Citizenship. Which Should I Choose Between Nigeria Vs Cameroon by Elgorny(m): 4:25pm On Apr 17, 2021 |
Hi nairalanders. I'm about to do my international passport, and totaly i'm confuse, i spent much time searching on google for weeks i'm yet to decide what is best for my future, is not easy to make such decision. That's why am here to seek an advice from public, i'm in my early 20's with nigeria being my country of birth, and also eligible to be citizen of cameroon through my parents who are 100% cameroonians based in nigeria for almost 3 decades, we recently travel to cameroon, i love the place and the people are friendly, very organize country with law abiden citizen. What i noticed in my short visit to cameroon. One can't even buy bus ticket without cameroon national identity card, or lodge in a hotel, or rent a house without idendity card, for foreigners, they must provide all necessery document in order to be issued ticket, is very rare to hear the indigines discusing politics publicly no tribalism no religions sentiment, and its citizen has the equal right Irrespective of tribes, 151 Likes 12 Shares |

Elgorny:if you intend to travel very soon and have secured your travel funds and can elope in 2021,2022,2023 then get your Cameroon passport. It is easier to be granted American visa or other top world visas if you’re applying as a Cameroonian, than as a Nigerian. Later in life if you want to come down here and take up government position, appointment or job, you can obtain a Nigerian passport, identity and probably abandon/denounce your Cameroonian own, and enjoy the wealth that comes with such big government position you’ve landed in Nigeria. ![]() 210 Likes 7 Shares |

Elgorny:it can’t be too hard. Learn the basics in French. Though you should have acquired basic French before this application instead of applying before studying. But since it’s done, try find a Cameroonian lawyer who knows the process of Id acquisition, the likely questions and the correct answers in French language. Goodluck in doing that 13 Likes 1 Share |

You noticed all these in how many days? Have you asked those who are visiting Abuja or Lagos for the first time what they think about Nigeria? My point is, you were in a vacation mode and the feeling of newness is easily confused with being better. You were born in Nigeria and you grew up in Nigeria, so I see why you'd feel the pasture is greener on the other side. Anglophone countries only hear about fellow anglophone countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, etc). We don't read much about francophone countries (you probably do cause your parents are from there) so we don't really appreciate thier issues. I'm not saying Nigeria is better but you should know Cameroon has its own problems ranging from secessionism to corruption to not-so-good economy. The police as just as corrupt as they are in Nigeria. Which politics do you want to discuss when the same person has been ruling the country long before you were born? You think they have equal rights and some people want to create thier own country? Are you bilingual? Cameroon used to be a popular destination for Nigerians (mainly Igbos) cause it allowed them to tap into the francophone market which was non-existent in Nigeria. They also got along well with the business minded Douala people more than they did with the Hausas up North. While things have changed, it's still a relatively peaceful country or, at least, it seems to be. This means less stress and probably longer life span. On the other hand, Nigeria is a bigger country with a more viable and relatively more independent economy. This means more opportunities and more cash flow. With a corruption index of 27 and 25, I don't see any significant difference in that regards. Nigeria has the benefits and issues of bigger, more complex and more dynamic country while Cameroon has the benefits and issues of a smaller and more easy going country. I know I didn't give a definite answer but I hope I, at least, gave some insights. Whatever you do, know that your choice is not for you alone but for your unborn kids. Seeing that you are qualified for both passports, why not get them all? 232 Likes 18 Shares |

Elonmuskfan: Hhmm.... Just curious, is this difference really reason enough to decide one's nationality? In 2013, the B1 visa refusal rate in Cameroon was 37.3% and that of Nigeria was 35.1%. Though both have increased with Cameroon being almost 60% now and Nigeria chasing 70%, I think what Nigeria really has is higher number of applicants which makes this 10% difference to translate into a high number. This higher number of applicants stems from two facts: first, Nigeria is far more populated and second, Cameroonians apply for French visa more than they apply for the US visa (going by the available stats). I think the higher rejection rate in Nigeria is because of more people trying to game the system and getting caught while at it. The genuine ones who want to visit and go back home or those that want to study still get their Visa. The problem is when you want to use a visitor's Visa to migrate (which is mostly the case in Nigeria). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the difference rejection rate is insignificant but I believe it's just not enough to decide one's nationality. This is especially now that countries are moving towards the less subjective point based immigration system where nationality doesn't count (Nigerians are performing great here). Again, Cameroon's lack of recognition for dual citizenship is also a flag to consider. You'd likely find yourself denouncing the passport later and there's no telling how rosy that would be. I could be wrong though. 52 Likes 4 Shares |
