Brief History Of My Country

My Country is Cameroon and it has a great history which I'm going to tell you guys. That says, Cameroon is headed by our beloved president, his Excellency President Paul Biya and Joseph Diongote as Prime minister who is also regarded as head the government. The capital of Cameroon is Yaounde which is located at the center. This means it will be extremely difficult for an external enermy to penetrate and reach our home capital successfully because it's heavily guarded

WHY I LOVE MY COUNTRY CAMEROON

My love for my Country is because of the following reasons

VAST BIODIVERSITY

It's quit interesting to know that Cameroon has over 300 species of animals and over 900 species of birds which are one of the richest biodiversity in the whole of West Africa. It also has a lot of wild life and home trained animals and birds which are loving, caring and friendly

THE BYGMIES OF BAKA

The pygmies of BAKA are the first people to live in Cameroon and they continue to maintain their old living stand till date and they have a very strong and adorable culture. They are also one of the highest ethnic groups in Cameroon that produces traditional medicine that work perfectly which makes our country to be an attractive site to foreigners. This pygmies also have special skills in hunting, fishing and gatherings hence making their lifestyle unique and simple.

Mount Cameroon has one of the largest volcanoes in Africa and it's having a height of 4023m and it's a good touristic site that always attract visitors. Cameroon also have very nice beaches such as the beach in Limbe and the other one in Kribi. This two Beaches are extremely beautiful because of its clear crystal waters and sparkling black or white sand with an absolute beautiful fabulous. This two Beaches are one of the most beautiful and attractive Beaches in the whole of West Africa and a place where I can recommend everyone to visit

As of 2022, it has been said that Cameroon has over 500 Hotels well equipped and furnished which visitors will like to visit and the best thing is that this hotels are not costly in terms of renting though they are of high quality. This is why I love my country so much because life here is very easy and less costly

THREE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE MY COUNTRY TO FROM

POOR INFRASTRUCTURER DEVELOPMENT

You can see how some parts in Cameroon are suffering from poor roads infrastructure despite the fact that about 85% of Cameroon roads networking system of transportation are done using road transport. But it's unfortunate that this roads are surffering from potholes, cracks, no cycles, most don't have sidewalk roads, they don't have marking and also poor running drainage of running water. I hope the government sees into this and act because this has cause a lot of road accidents

High Level Of Bribery and Corruption

Cameroon is classified as one of the most corrupt Country in the world because corruption has highly affected practically all government sectors in Cameroon even including some churches and basically even private sectors. Now In Cameroon, it's only the rich people that have great opportunities to secure what ever the want even if its exams and concourse. In most concourse in Cameroon, about 70 to 80% of the candidates that succeed are people that have money and have bribe. It's hard to see intelligent people make it in concourse when they write together with rich people

I'm praying and hoping this problem should stop so that only deserving and hardworking people take their rightfull positions

I PRAY THIS UN-GOING ANGLOPHONE WAR SHOULD COME TO AN END

Ambazonia crises began in 2016 and it all started as the English speaking lawyers and teachers started protesting in the streets peacefully by demanding a reformation of linguistics which then had to caused the military to start brutalizing them them until it later escalated into heavy war between the government and Ambazonia leaders. This caused schools to be officially banned by Ambazonia leaders and fighters. Till present date since 2016, going to school in the English speaking region is really risky because Ambazonia Fighter's are against it. This civil war have lead to killing of thousands of people, both Military, Ambazonia Fighter's and civilians causing people to lost their relatives, properties because of constant burning of houses, hospitals and schools

Presently, we have over 1 million internally displaced human beings that are victim of this crises. As I speak now, we are living under God's protection because it hasn't been easy with us all along. You can even see this my recent post about how we were caught up in a middle of an encounter between the military and the Ambazonia Fighter's. I pray to almighty God that he intervent so that the government can resolve this problem for peace to reign once more in this our beloved country
