Aloha🌺 does anyone know what flights from USA mainland to Cameroon (southwest region) cost? When is the least expensive to fly? Or tips and tricks for getting the best price?

Hi country pipo,

I’ve developed a work culture and wellbeing diagnostics tool to inform inclusive workplaces and environments. Most diagnostics tool lacks diversity in their sample.

I would love my home country Cameroon to be represented. So if you have 8 minute to spare please consider completing it.

It’s totally anonymous. You can complete it HERE

If you have any questions just DM me. Thanks :)

Hello everyone! I’m currently living in Cameroon but will be meeting some family in Paris. I figure since this is Reddit there’s got to be more than enough people here who live abroad, especially in France.

Does anyone know of any good Cameroonian restaurants? I tried searching online and most restaurants either have little online presence or seem to be generic African restaurants. Also if possible I would like to go to a restaurant that has Cameroonian and more western friendly options in case my family wants to order a variety of things.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I am an American that’s looking at to travel to Cameroon in March and I wanted to ask you guys about taking the yellow fever shot? Do they really have a vaccine for us at the airport ? I seen some Reddit comments about how it wasn’t at the airport and then I see some people say it was at the airport. I don’t want to pay for the vaccine in the unites states I know it would be cheaper in Cameroon.

Can anyone clarify if you I can get the vaccine at the airport and also how exactly would I get a visa without the vaccine documentation?

I’m a black African woman. I’m from Kenya but I was raised in America so I am pretty westernized. I am marrying a Cameroonian man who came to America a year ago. Not a greencard situation but what boundaries and things should I prepare for when it comes to his family? Most of them are in Cameroon including his parents. Also I don’t want kids. I’m child free, should I tell his family that when they start asking about kids? Having kids is a deal breaker for me.

Hello everyone! I’m planning to visit Yaoundé next month for a 9-day trip by myself. My mother is originally from Cameroon, but I lost contact with her at an early age, so I don’t know much about my heritage. What I do know is that my tribe is Beti, and we speak Ewondo.

Given my background, I’d love to learn more about my roots during my time in Yaoundé. What are the must-see places or cultural landmarks I should visit while I’m there? Also, could anyone recommend reliable apps for transportation or finding a local guide to help me navigate the city?

Je m'appelle Idriss, et aujourd'hui, je suis un homme brisé, errant dans les rues de cette ville Douala qui me semble désormais étrangère. Il y a quelques années, j'étais plein d'espoir, amoureux d'une femme qui, à mes yeux, était la lumière de ma vie. Elvira, une jeune femme orpheline, élevée par sa grand-mère dans un village du Sud Ouest Cameroun, était tout pour moi. J'ai défié ma famille pour elle, convaincu que notre amour pouvait surmonter tous les obstacles.

Mais cet amour s'est transformé en trahison. Un jour, Amina m'a demandé 3 millions de FCFA pour un projet qu'elle prétendait être la clé de notre avenir. Éperdument amoureux, j'ai ignoré les mises en garde de ma famille et lui ai confié cet argent, persuadé que je bâtissais notre bonheur. Quelques semaines plus tard, elle a disparu, emportant avec elle non seulement l'argent, mais aussi mes rêves.

La douleur de sa trahison fut insupportable. Ma famille, déjà méfiante à mon égard, m'a rejeté. J'avais tout perdu : l'amour, la confiance et le soutien de ceux qui m'étaient chers. Je me suis retrouvé seul, accablé par une dette de plus de 7 millions de FCFA. Les créanciers ont commencé à me harceler, et chaque jour était une lutte pour échapper à leurs menaces.

J'ai frôlé la prison pour dettes impayées. Dans ce lieu sombre et froid, j'ai vécu l'horreur. J'ai été victime d'une tentative de viol, mais j'ai été sauvé in extremis par un autre détenu. Cet événement m'a laissé des cicatrices indélébiles, tant sur le corps que sur l'esprit. La peur de retourner derrière les barreaux me hantait jour et nuit.

Aujourd'hui, je suis à la rue. Je ravale ma fierté et mon orgueil, mendier auprès d'inconnus pour essayer de rassembler une petite somme d'argent afin de rembourser mes créanciers. Chaque pièce que je reçois est un rappel cruel de ma déchéance. Les regards pleins de mépris des passants me transpercent comme des flèches. Je suis devenu un fantôme dans ma propre vie.

Ma famille refuse de m'aider. Ils m'ont dit que je méritais ce qui m'arrivait, que j'avais choisi de suivre Elvira plutôt que de les écouter. La honte me ronge, et je me demande si je vais un jour retrouver un semblant de dignité.

Je suis à bout de nerfs. L'idée de mourir commence à me sembler plus douce que cette existence misérable. Mais je sais qu'il me reste une dernière tentative à faire : réunir une petite quantité d'argent pour apaiser mes créanciers et peut-être retrouver un peu de respect.

Je n'attends pas des miracles, juste une main tendue dans cette obscurité. Alors que je m'assois sur un banc public, je regarde passer les gens, espérant croiser un regard compatissant. Je ne veux pas que mon histoire se termine ici. Je veux croire qu'il existe encore des personnes prêtes à tendre la main à ceux qui ont chuté.

Si vous lisez ces mots, sachez que derrière ces mots se cache un homme qui a fait des erreurs, mais qui aspire à se relever. Je ne demande pas la charité ; je demande une chance de réparer mes erreurs et de retrouver ma dignité. Peut-être qu'un jour, je pourrai raconter cette histoire non pas comme celle d'un homme brisé, mais comme celle d'un homme qui a su se relever après avoir tout perdu.

I am going to attempt to make Poulet DG. I am Canadian, and a friend of mine from Cameroon told me about this dish. One question I have is : Are the vegetables usually crunchy when you eat it? For instance the carrots. I notice on YouTube that the people add the carrots later in the process, and they don't seem to cook them very long. So I am thinking they must be still quite crunchy.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm in Douala for a couple of weeks and need to change USD to local currency. I've been told there are changers in Akwa, wanted to know how reliable/safe they are and what is a good exchange rate at this time?

I was in a serious car accident (in Canada) and the only witness to the accident only speaks Cameroonian French - I have a voice recording of his witness statement. While French is the second language in Canada, I am having a hard time translating some of it because of the difference in pronunciation of certain words. I am hoping that someone from this subreddit may be able to help me translate it! Thanks in advance.

I’m a white woman living in Cameroon. I live in a tiny city, so it’s hard to befriend people as it is in every tiny city in the world. An additional problem that I’ve encountered is that people really only want to befriend me because I’m white. Most people I’ve sort of made friends with only look for me when they need money or only talk to me about their problems, hinting at the fact that me being white I could help them. Most people I met here don’t really give a shit about anything about me, they were never curious about who I am as a person but still they parade me as if I was their best friend. Even if I’m a white European who’s a 1000 times more privileged than most people here I’m not rich, nor I can actually help people coming to Europe in any way but suggesting them routes I think might help them get a visa. Moreover, even if I were rich, I just feel like these relationships are completely based off of my privilege and the prestige that having a white friend seems to bring into people’s lives here, and I am just not able to pretend like this is clearly not the main reason why these people like me. It’s just not nice.

Is it me or is this something that makes sense? I feel like shit realising this, I know that I’m very privileged and shit but this is just not a nice behaviour and I can’t seem to escape it here.

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ll be traveling from Germany to Cameroon in February next year with a close friend who’s originally from there but hasn’t been back in a while. We’re both super eager to experience all that Cameroon has to offer—its culture, food, and especially the people!

Since I’d love to connect with locals and possibly make new friends (or more than friends), I’d be thrilled if anyone could recommend the best spots to meet people, both online and offline. Are there specific dating apps or websites that are popular in Cameroon? Or maybe local forums, communities, or events where I could meet open-minded folks interested in meeting up?

Also, if you have any tips for cool hangouts, vibrant communities, or even must-see places in Cameroon, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and feel free to DM me if you want to connect before I arrive!

Will be visiting Yaoundé for two weeks and looking for any good restaurants, bars, or other spots to check out! Also looking to pick up some souvenirs. Thanks :)

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Cameroon. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Cameroon play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

I am dating a Cameroonian man and it is very likely I may marry him. I am Congolese canadian but culturally speaking very Canadian and he is from Cameroon. We are both 27. Recently I made a friendly call to his father and his father has been having eye pain and during the call he kept on going on on about how he does not have the means to have surgery. I was very uncomfortable with the call because my family is all here and my parents are financially stable, my parents have very rarely asked me for money. He kept saying you’re good over there but here I’m suffering. I can’t afford this surgery. Out of curiosity I asked him, how much is it and he said I’ll find out and tell you tomorrow. I feel awkward because I feel like he expects me to send money. I only asked cause he kept on bringing it up over and over again. I don’t want to find myself in scenario where his father feels comfortable doing this. It is my fault that I asked but I felt that he was guilt tripping me. I am not selfish but I worked very hard to set up a good life for myself and I don’t want to find myself in a scenario where his family, particularly his Dad is comfortable doing this, especially at this point because me and my bf are not even married yet. I also feel uncomfortable because his Dad was not a very present man, cheated on his mom and mis-managed his money when he made a lot of it. I have never stepped foot in Africa and I maybe I also don’t understand how hard life can be.

Update! Talked to boyfriend and he said he would talk to his father about this. Also has a really good conversation about establishing boundaries with money now and after when we get married. Thank you all for the advice 🙏🏾☺️

Greetings,

I found this hauntingly beautiful song by Blick Bassy titled Aké on spotify, it is apparently about the importance of family and kinship.

And yet, I havent found the meaning of the word itself, which i'm really curious to know.

Thanks and much love from Egypt!

Hello to All I met a lady online and she’s from Cameroon shes been telling me the shes BETI I wanted to ask you guys what are some tips I should know about Cameroonian women and the Beti tribes ? She’s been good with me so far but honestly, I am having some doubts because I have been hearing the worst about Cameroon folks, I was hoping and wondering would it be a good idea to bring her back to the USA 🇺🇸 or if I’m just a crazy American boy that’s in love. Anyone married to a lady from Cameroon and brought her back to Europe, the uk, Canada or the USA?

Also another thing is what’s the BEST dishes that you guys have and how can I Learn more about your culture? I’m flying out next year to meet up with her so I’m trying to learn a lot.

Hey folks. I was looking for authorized retailers of Nike or Adidas in the country but to my surprise, there isn’t one yet! My questions are - where do you buy your branded active wear from? And why aren’t there any authorized retailers of such brands yet?

I am 37 my soon to be husband is 41 he isfrom Cameroon. I am from the USA. We met online. Nine months at the meeting him Online,I went to Cypress to visit him for three months within those three months I became pregnant with our son. He was living in Cypress now he has to return home to Cameroon I am very nervous about applying for a visa for him because of all the stories that I hear about, when I was there with him for the three months, he gave me no reason to question him about anything. He was a complete gentleman always nice always polite. He bought me things he took care of me like a queen yes we have had so the relationship is very normal . I still question, because I have been in a relationship where I have been taken advantage of before I am just looking for input on the situation. I have talked to his family over the phone. I am supposed to go in three months to meet his family in person they know about me they know about my son , my future husband post me on social media and our son but I don't wanna be one of those people that is with someone and find out they have a wife two or three years from now what should I do?

I’ve been seeing a lot of 33 export being consumed but not so much Kadji. Is it still available? Is it still a choice of beer?

Foreigner living in a village in the francophone regions. Used to see the beautiful beer of Manyan and was often told it was the national beer of Cameroon. I almost never see it anymore and if I do it’s just a canned version in a city. Does anyone know what happened to my go to beer?
