    The insensitive increase of prices by the Cameroonian government, has left so many families confused and frustrated.

    Cameroonians think that life is becoming more and more difficult for them. Prices of all articles have increased. Even bread which some middle class people could resort to, has become unreasonably unaffordable, as the price has just been pushed up from 150 to 200CFA Francs.

    Young people are even getting confused, they don`t think it would be wise to make kids. Because they don`t know how they shall be able to feed them, educate them or cloth them to ensure them a bright future.

    “ This country has no development or economic plan, infact, we don`t know where we are heading to” says Cameroonians.
    There are problems at all levels of the society, (economical, social, health, etc). The population is even grumbling,they think there is serious crisis which the government doesn`t seem to bother about. They feel all that the government is preoccupied with, is reshuffling and making changes amongst his ministers which don`t make any significant changes in the state of affairs in the country.

    The population of Cameroon are seeing the future to be dark inspite of their optimism and hard work. They think, they could be more at ease and comfortable if they could foresee their lives in the next five years. Unfortunately not. Like that, they could even afford planning for the next 10 years inspite of all odds.\n\n
