    Thanks for watching! Are you ready to visit Cameroon after watching this video? If you are an expat living in Cameroon what's been your experience there?

      Xavier, I closely follow, learn and enjoy your interviews. I notice a good number of Jamaicans are working with United Nations agencies. If the interviewees are willing, can you explore how they obtained employment with the UN. I think young Jamaicans would find it useful. To me, one of the most informative interview was the one you conducted with the Govt Official now Business Sector Entrepreneur in Malawi.

      Hello, it's no as we think darling. That's what I thought. Africans actually don't all see it that way. Ask any student here from Ja. I see for myself. Trust me, it's not so pretty. Jamaicans seem to intimidate Africans for what I don't know. Caribbean ppl look like them but we are really not the same as it is theoretically. U KNOW the cat run away with the cheese game. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    This is a well spoken Jamaican lady. She is restrained in discussing Cameroon. France has a stranglehold on the resources and economy of the Francophone regions of Africa. Africa is a source of wealth for France. Their money goes to France and the Africans have to borrow, their own money back. This holds back development. The Anglophone sections are under immense and deadly pressure. That is the reason for the UN to be in the region. This is not to contradict your guest, Patrich, just to educate the viewers. Notice how the imperialists (France & England) set up territories to be landlocked; example Central African Republic and Malawi.

    😂😂😂 The multiple greetings is indeed a positive Bantu trait so is the attest to oneness (unity ). We care and ask after the other several times in the day ( feelings, situation may change within the period ) much like a tacit nod of acknowledgment of your good presence. 😂😂😂, didn't know it was so widespread. Indeed we are one in Africa.

    Black diaspora outside Africa, should always give a try to countries like Cameroon, Ivory Coast,Senegal etc. I don’t understand why everyone is going to Ghana which has very little to offer. I guess is a language barrier. Ghana is not better than Cameroon,Ivory Coast,Senegal, Angola etc in terms of things to offer. Cameroon is a country of plenty of varieties. Cameroon cuisine cultures is better than Ghana.
