Where are Cameroon’s Youth?
Where is the youth day in the Banana Republic of CameRUIN?ย When will this nation be taken over by youths? 93-year-olds are still running in the corridors of power and celebrating Youth Day. What an insult to the people….
Anglophone CPDM Elites parading the corridors of Power in Yaounde, listen to your daughters and sons. Act Now. Your very own children will render you a pariah, an outcast in his own home, a Dima bola of sought. Take some time out to do your own introspection. Your children are telling you THE UNION WITH La Republique du Cameroun IS NOT WORKING, CAUSED BY ANGLOPHONE BOOTLICKING PARENTS LIKE YOU

Youth Day should not be reduced to ceremonies, slogans, or parades. It must be a moment of national reflectionโa moment of truth.
Cameroon is a young nation. More than sixty percent of our population is under the age of thirty-five. Yet millions of young people feel excluded, unemployed, unheard, and increasingly disconnected from the promise of their country.
This contradiction is dangerous.
Youth Day should not only be about what the nation expects from its youth. It must also be about what the youth legitimately expect from the nation.
Young Cameroonians are not lazy, incapable, or unpatriotic. They are frustrated by a system that often rewards connections over competence, silence over ideas, and loyalty over innovation.
Many are graduates without jobs. Entrepreneurs without access to finance. Creatives without platforms. Citizens without a meaningful voice. Some risk their lives crossing deserts and seas. Others are trapped in violence, drugs, or despair. Too many have simply lost hope.
A country that wastes its youth mortgages its future.
Yet, despite these challenges, Cameroonian youths remain resilient, innovative, and courageous. Across farms, classrooms, markets, studios, and digital spaces, young people continue to create, survive, and contributeโoften without institutional support.
They are not the problem.
They are the solution.
Youth empowerment must go beyond rhetoric. It must be structural. This requires quality education that prepares young people for real opportunities; decent jobs and fair wages; access to finance for young entrepreneurs; digital inclusion and innovation; peace, justice, and respect for the rule of law; and an open political space where young voices matter beyond election periods.
Young people must move from spectators to stakeholders in shaping the future of Cameroon.
To the youth, I say this: do not surrender your future. Do not sell your voice cheaply. Nation-building, leadership, and politics are your business. Organize. Register. Vote. Innovate. Question. Build.
Change will not come because others are generous. It will come because young people are informed, organized, and determined.
Cameroon does not need to fear its youth. It must trust them, invest in them, and listen to them.
On this Youth Day, let us replace despair with hope, exclusion with opportunity, violence with dialogue, and slogans with action.
The future of Cameroon is not tomorrow.
The future of Cameroon is the youthโnow
