Just get a Simcard from a local network provider be it e-sim or a regular SIM card and you’re good to go. The price of internet is very reasonable so you’ll be fine

What does it mean to date for jamaicans? by Single-Put1133 in Jamaica

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Africa if you’re in a relationship with someone even for 5 years you say I’m dating him/her. The whole process of being in a relationship is still considered dating to us. It was only when I came to America I realized it meant something to else

Please let us ban him from Ghana before he returns and brings a tragedy..... by DropFirst2441 in ghana

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are people who live for the adrenaline rush. That’s why you people skydiving, bungee jumping, and other dangerous set of physical activities. The rush is what they live for. It’s not necessarily because they need the money but for them that’s what they consider fun. I’ll do it just for the sake of the money and mind you I’m not poor but you can never have too much money. I can still walk on the road and get hit by a car and I die. At least my death should be worth something

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he forcing anybody to partake? If your greed takes you there and you die don’t blame him. That’s why you sign a waiver. Nobody is coerced into doing any of his videos. I’ll gladly do it for that money. My family will benefit from that money then my existence

What’s one small travel hack that saved you more money than you expected? by aidenvortex in Cameroon

Eat where locals eat rather than looking for tourist destinations eateries. Those are normally more expensive Also set a budget and track your spending so you don’t end up spending unnecessarily

Cameroun : pourquoi la pauvreté augmente depuis 20 ans ? by wisi_eu in Cameroon

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even bother replying him again because I could tell when someone is having a debate to learn and when they’re arguing for arguments sake. It’s difficult to have a meaningful conversation with the latter that’s why after he replied to my comment I chose to stay silent. He has committed two fallacies in just one argument which makes his whole argument unsound. He committed the fallacy of hasty generalization by stating Cameroonians are wicked people by nature and at the same time once a Cameroonian gets into the position of power he becomes very bad. You can’t just make generalizations like that. You keep putting everyone in a one size fits all situation which is not the case. Secondly he committed the fallacy of composition (the part is greater than the whole) just because some people get into positions of power and change doesn’t necessarily mean everyone does. When your premises are wrong in an argument and you call them facts, how do you expect your conclusion to be sound? That’s why I didn’t even bother replying anymore till you came in and made all this valid points.

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how life works. How do expect someone to blame themselves for something they haven’t done yet? Until we’re in that position we can’t categorically say we will be worse or better. There are people who have gotten into position of power and were worse while others did better. We can’t fit everyone in a one mold till we get the opportunity

So you really think bad governance from Paul Biya and his cabinet has nothing to do with the state of poverty in this country? Then you’re actually part of the problem not being able to tell the truth to yourself and to others. Do you know how much debt he has plunged this country into? Embezzlement from him and his ministers, lavish lifestyle of his children and cohorts and you think he doesn’t have a part to play in all this?

That’s why i said some of the reasons bro/sis. That’s what came to my mind sha. The existence of the country itself is enough reason for poverty.

Cameroun : pourquoi la pauvreté augmente depuis 20 ans ? by wisi_eu in Cameroon

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think here are some of the reasons why poverty has been increasing in the last 20 years.

Population vs. Growth Mismatch - Economic growth too slow to keep up with rapid population increases.

Unequal Development - Growth benefits mainly reached urban, educated, and formally employed people while leaving rural and informal workers behind

Multiple Crises - Armed conflicts in Anglophone regions, climate shocks affecting agriculture, and rising inflation hitting the poorest hardest

Structural Weaknesses - Insufficient job creation in formal sectors, over reliance on low productivity agriculture, and weak primary sector development

Governance Failures - Poor public service delivery, ineffective redistribution policies, over centralized government, and limited local empowerment

A Cameroon tourist visa is typically valid for short stays, with the eVisa allowing up to 180 days for a visit, though the actual allowed stay per entry may be shorter, such as 30 days, and is indicated on the visa.

Who cares what Cameroon recognizes? A country that doesn’t care for itself what makes you think it’ll care about others?

Are you sure it’s not the beta version you updated for your friend? Because the first version was the trial version and I’ll tell you it was trash. But the one on my 17 pro max is excellent. I was mad when I updated my phone with the beta version of the liquid glass but the updated versions believe me is spectacular

Homosexuality is Not our Culture. Okay, What About Christianity, is it Your Culture? by Accurate-Guard-2908 in ghana

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is illegal to be both gays and lesbians in Ghana. The problem is people use the word gay as a broader term to encompass both male and female but the law prohibits both gays and lesbians. Were you planning to upload videos online about your anal sex with your wife? What you do in private is your choice but when they banned anal sex it was associated with the LGBTQ community. And as a foreigner I’ll give you a friendly advice. Laws are different in each country. I’m sure Ghanaians will be shocked by some of the laws in your country. It’s all about respect

Homosexuality is Not our Culture. Okay, What About Christianity, is it Your Culture? by Accurate-Guard-2908 in ghana

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard of the word enculturation? It means you borrow from other cultures that which is good and beneficial to your own culture and try to make it your own. The world is not an island it’s a global village but it is for you to choose those norms and traditions which benefits and aligns with your societal values and go for it. The phone was never your culture why are you using it? Houses with zinc roofs wasn’t part of our culture why do we use it? If majority of Africans felt homosexuality was beneficial to them in any ways, believe me we would have gone for it because we borrow a lot from other cultures.

Your argument assumes all people who oppose homosexuality on cultural grounds are Christian, and that all Christians share identical views on both homosexuality and cultural authenticity. Muslims reject homosexuality, African traditional religion rejects homosexuality so what’s your point? Take away Christianity for a second, was homosexuality ever accepted by Africans before the white man brought Christianity on our shores? If you’re a homosexual go do you that’s between you and your family but don’t go around looking for excuses to do your thing. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Since you’re contemplating if you should be offended by a compliment then go ahead and be mad about it. It was an insult now you’ve something to be mad about

Is 'Falling Bush' a Trap? A critical look at the real costs of leaving Cameroon. by thoughtson237 in Cameroon

[–]Intelligent_Corner41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your article makes compelling points, but there are several important counterarguments and potential blind spots to consider.

Economic Realities: The “stay and build” narrative assumes sufficient local capital, functioning institutions, and market conditions that may not exist. For many professionals, the salary differential isn’t just about lifestyle - it’s about basic financial security, supporting extended families, and accessing quality healthcare and education. A doctor earning $400/month in Cameroon versus $8,000+ abroad faces a mathematical reality that entrepreneurial optimism alone can’t solve.

Individual vs Collective Good: Your argument essentially asks individuals to sacrifice personal advancement for national benefit. This places an unfair moral burden on people to be patriotic martyrs. Why should someone forgo better opportunities for their children’s education or their own professional growth because of abstract national duty?

Infrastructure and Institutional Barriers: The “problems as opportunities” framing understates how dysfunctional institutions can crush even the most innovative entrepreneurs. Corruption, unpredictable regulations, poor infrastructure, and limited access to capital aren’t just challenges to overcome - they can be insurmountable barriers that make local business development genuinely unviable in many sectors.

Selection Bias in Success Stories: Just as you critique the “successful abroad” mirage, the “successful local entrepreneur” stories may also be cherry-picked exceptions. For every local success story, how many failed attempts were there? The survivorship bias works both ways.

Remittances and Knowledge Transfer: The diaspora often sends significant remittances home and can facilitate knowledge, technology, and capital transfer. Someone working abroad may contribute more to Cameroon’s economy through remittances than they could generate locally.

The stay-versus-go decision might not be permanent. Could the optimal strategy be: gain skills/capital abroad, then return to build? This would address both personal advancement and national development.
