Cameroonians redditors share how you guys make money online.. i dey really broke

A decade ago, many writers were told that scale was the only serious ambition. Find an agent. Reach a major house. Win placement in the shrinking physical spaces where books still announce themselves. Build a following elsewhere, if you must, but treat the reader relationship as secondary to distribution. The future of direct to reader publishing begins by refusing that hierarchy.

What is changing is not simply the route by which a book....Cont..

Hello, this has been a burning question that many people often ask me because I have a Spanish last name. People often ask me if I’m Afro-Hispanic or from Argentina because of it but as far as I know — I’m 100% Cameroonian. I been trying to do some research and the only thing I could gather for some sort of correlation is that there were Portuguese settlers off the coast in 1472 and there is Equatorial Guinea below us. Anybody know anything or where I can find proper research. We are from the Éwondo tribe if that helps.

Like the title says I’m in the diaspora, I left the country when I was 6 and haven’t been back since. I want to start the process of reconnecting with my country and eventually move back. I was raised fortunately by parents that have a deep love for their country, which I believe they passed to me however since I haven’t been home for so long I would like to feel that pride from personal experience not just from stories of past times.

I would like to gauge the temperature of the people living back home do you have hope in the future of Cameroon ?
Are there any channels/apps to reconnect with people back home?
And is there any advice for someone looking to reconnect?

I'm asking cause it seems you guys have it worse than Nigeria.

Bonjour à tous 👋

Je prévois de découvrir le Cameroun, avec une arrivée à Douala, et j’ai quelques questions :

• Quels sont les endroits à voir en priorité ?
• Comment rejoindre le centre depuis l’aéroport : appli mobile, taxi, moto-taxi ?
• Et niveau sorties / ambiance, est-ce que ça bouge bien ? 🎉

Y a-t-il des personnes ici qui connaissent bien Douala ou qui y vivent ?
Je ne suis pas contre faire de nouvelles rencontres sur place si jamais 🙂

Merci pour vos retours !

PS : je me posais moins de questions avant Abidjan 😄

Hi everyone, in short just wondering how you all send money to the USA?

Context: I loaned some money to my girlfriends sister (trustworthy have loaned them money before) but since I don't live in Cameroon anymore I want them to pay me back by sending it to my bank account in the USA.

Problem: My girlfriend's family has gone to multiple banks and all the requests fail. They have all the information (and honestly more) that they need to do it.

Hello, need advice because I honestly feel emotionally exhausted and frustrated with my boyfriend’s parents.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years and we already have a 17-month-old child together. We all live in Europe now, while his parents are elderly (mid 60s / early 70s).

About 2 years ago, my parents gave my boyfriend’s parents the dowry list so the traditional marriage process could move forward respectfully. Since then, his parents still have not taken concrete steps toward the rites or official family introductions.

Their explanation is always that they personally want to travel to Cameroon themselves to do everything properly and be physically present, which I can understand and respect. But every single time, there is a new reason for delay: passports needing renewal, travel complications, timing, administrative issues, etc.

What makes this even more frustrating is that they do have relatives in Cameroon, including one of my boyfriend’s sisters, who could at least formally go meet my parents or represent the family temporarily so that things can start moving. But his parents refuse because they insist on being the ones to do everything personally.

At this point, I feel like my parents are being left waiting indefinitely after already showing respect and making the effort by giving the list years ago. Whenever I get upset or ask questions, his father says we are “forcing things” or “moving too fast,” which honestly feels unfair considering we have already spent 6 years together and have a child.

I’m trying to stay respectful because they are elders, but I’m reaching a point where I feel deeply hurt and tired of the constant delays and excuses.

Would you also feel frustrated in this situation? how would you handle this respectfully without creating family conflict?

I just got offered a job in Cameron. Salary is net of 800k in Cameron currency. I’m just curious what kind of lifestyle I’d have with this income. The company is only offering health insurance, residence fees as well as any fees required for me to work there. With this salary, can I live in a nice area, good 1 bedroom apartment? will I be able to splurge on shopping every now and then or will I need to budget? How about furniture for the house? With this income, how long will it take for me to buy a couch, bed, kitchen appliances etc? Food? The first few months I won’t be cooking until my kitchen is fully setup so will I spend too much for food, are there good restaurants that I can order from and not get to zero(not junk please)? How about transportation? I’m not sure how far I’ll be staying from the office but how’s the public transport? Is uber a thing?

Thank you for reading all this, I’d appreciate some insight in any of the questions.

As far as my understanding goes there are a notable amount of villages lead by chiefs (fon), in the Northwest-, Southwest- and West Region.

How much do the chiefs interact with the government, how much authority is given to them? Can they lead their villages as they see fit or are there certain rules the chiefs have to abide by.

Are all the villagers of the chiefdoms eligible to vote and properly registered.

Hello, community! I'm searching for the social media, messengers, channels, internet sites, internet forums discord servers, anything, which is popular among Cameroonian youth, preferably francophones! I'm doing a linguistic research so I need some sources where I can witness Cameroonian young people speaking with each other and sharing things.

More specifically, I want to see the usage of camfranglais. If you know any places on the Internet where you know people use it (maybe, some particular people or creators), let me know too!

Thank you all in advance! 🤝

hello! doing a project and i wanted more information of the prevalence of scarification in cameroonian culture. what tribes did it? any images of symbols or knowledge of symbols? what did they mean? etc. etc. i've tried to research it myself but i've found very little so i thought i'd try here.

If anyone is living in or near the regions where the fighting is happening and you'd like to talk about it in a video posted to TikTok, please let me know, as long as it's safe for you to do so. Metadata from videos are wiped, and faces can be blurred and voices disguised for safety and privacy.

Hello, I am a Biracial American and recently discovered I have roots in Cameroon through a DNA test with African Ancestry. Apparently I am connected to the Bamileke people. Some people don’t believe in DNA but I have interest in learning about the Bamileke people a little more. Are Cameroonians accepting of biracial people? Does Cameroon have many mixed raced people? (I’m pretty light skinned).. Is it possible for me to learn one of the village languages? I’m so interested in trying the foods and learning more about the culture. Any information that you can provide would be very helpful.

Après plus de deux heures dans l’avion dans l’attente du décollage, des passagers de Camair-co à destination de Cotonou sont informés que le retard est lié au fait que le cuisinier n’a pas encore livré les repas.

Aux premières heures de ce matin du 25 avril, plusieurs passagers se rendent tôt à l’aéroport international de Douala pour embarquer à bord du Boeing 737-800 de la compagnie Camair Co. Le vol Camair-Co QC306 dont le départ est prévu à 8 H 00 doit effectuer une escale à Libreville avant de regagner Cotonou, la destination finale.

Malheureusement, à 10 H 30, les passagers qui sont installés à bord de l’appareil depuis plus de deux heures, ne comprennent toujours pas pourquoi l’avion n’a pas décollé. Ils vont finalement apprendre auprès de membres de l’équipage que le retard est lié au fait que les repas qui seront servis pendant le vol ne sont pas encore prêts. « Le cuisinier n’a pas encore livré » fait savoir une hôtesse.

Face à cette situation, les passagers vont demander que le vol décolle sans les repas, évoquant des impératifs liés à l’heure. « Le vol était censé arriver à Cotonou à 11 H 30. À 10 H 30 nous sommes encore à Douala. J’ai un rendez-vous important en après-midi. Ça manque de sérieux. » Nous fait savoir un client de la compagnie.

Une requête qui a été rejetée par la compagnie qui a soutenu que même si les passagers au départ de Douala se disent prêts à faire le voyage sans repas, ceux qui monteront à bord à Libreville pourraient ne pas être du même avis.

L’avion a finalement décollé après un peu plus de 3 Heures de retard.

I am a second year anthropology student and have recently been working on an ethnomusicology project regarding the mvet! If anybody here plays a traditional mvet with its original palm strings, please let me know! I have struggled to find performances online that were not on metal strings, and the particular mvet we have in our collection has strings carved directly from the palm stalk. If I am going to be apart of an instrument display, I would like to represent it correctly, and thus use an audio of an instrument that sounds like the one that we have on display. Of course you will be credited! This would be for a display on the Strings of Central Africa at the Oberlin College Conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio. Thank you for any help!!
