        An error of judicial justices in Cameroon. why should they agree to sworn in biya and what did they use? How can he serve 7 terms in presidency? What makes him eligible? These African leader or non leader? Who is he leading? This is a collection of shame, awful, unacceptable.

        The irascible tyrant visits the impoverished country only for his swearing in charade, as a guided tourist, and it's quite possible he doesn't have a clue where, in the name of everything mysterious, the country is. This, while the populace continue to wallow in neck deep poverty

        Lol. You Cameroonians don't have problems in your lives everything seems to be working out fine for you guys😅. Buhari has not even spent 4 full years and we're dragging him in the mud already.

        His swearing in as president is fake. He rigged the election. Why are Cameroonians instead of jubilating are rather protesting both nationally and internationally??
