Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News

Breaking

Cameroon will become an emergent nation by 2035. That is the utopian nation of Paul Biya, who will be over a hundred years old by then, if...
Cameroon will certainly attain emergence but not thanks to words like Biya's.
Concrete actions are the only vehicle to transport such transformation.
Until we understand who we are and what we have, we will continue to make noise while others fly quietly.
By no means will Cameroon shake from this position if the gap between the  taxpayers and "taxconsumers" widens every day.
You can't expect a country to make money from taxpayers when white collar-job persons ride in air-conditioned cars..., with drivers; live in luxurious houses, eat   extravagant meals... when the taxpayers are jumping from left to right under the control of hunger.
No country will develop when the public sector is in a constant, disastrous competition with the private sector.
"[...]Most of the richest businessmen in Cameroon are civil servants," Honorable Joshua Osih observed on Cameroon Calling,CRTV, on Sunday.
To back up this assertion, we can turn back to the story of the civil servant whose multimillion castle raised eyebrows in the country and beyond about two months ago.
When the public had got too interested in and critical about the story, some voices came up to justify the sources of the wealth.
They claimed that besides being a 'hard-working' civil servant, Mr Felix Samba is a farmer.
There is certainly nothing wrong in being hardworking and having a farm.
But we need to adapt to our situation.
If Cameroon is not very 'rich', let our ministers ride the vehicles that suit their country.
Let our administrators dress, eat and live like the leaders of a country struggling to grow.
