Thanks to social media, a lot of people are discovering that Cameroon actually has an English speaking part. (formerly part of Nigeria) . The mainstream media has always portrayed Cameroon as an entirely francophone country. Each time I express myself, my Nigerian folks here in the UK are marveled that I am Cameroonian. They say I sound totally Nigerian. We are so much alike in almost everything. We are always together and love each other so much. Forget the artificial borders. We are cousins.
Exactly, UK and other foreign countries are referring to Nigeria as Muslim countries. This is so far from the truth. Nigeria is a Christian, Muslim, traditionalist, and atheist country. Do not pin Nigeria to Muslims only.

English speaking Cameroon was part of Nigerian Eastern region. We are same people both physically and otherwise. They voted to join the French Cameroon and that is why they wind up in Cameroon.
Fast food is different from restaurant. Fast food is on the go, you go and collect the food yourself, you can decide to eat there or take home. Restaurant is a more cosy environment that pays more attention to your convenience. You're given a menu and served by a waiter in your seat. Genesis, Kilimajairo, these are fast food while jevenik, cactus, circus are restaurants
Wow!!! Ok nau , any real Nigerian can clearly see a sister in you . Your accent is more Nigerian than Nigerians, now it's clear that Africans are related. Thank you for sharing beautiful sister 🥰
@iyke333 I laugh when ignorant people correct others online without doing a little bit of research. For your information, Nigeria is over 300 countries in one! The countries were merged to form two countries by British and later the two countries were merged to form one. Read and learn.
I was shocked you were not Nigerian “ yet “. Your accent and diction sounds so Nigerian and the charisma and vibe is so beautifully Nigerian. I guess God missed this one - you. You have a new subscriber. Cheers love you.
Most English speaking Cameroonians have similar accent like Nigerians, not much difference, You can't differentiate like the Ghanaian accent thats easily different, to way Nigerians Speak.
Tbh, Cameroonian’s and Nigerians are almost the same in terms of physical appearance, especially those in the English speaking region and we have common food too. I feel like we a lot more in common with Cameroonian than with Ghana but I don’t know why we are always put in the same comment with Ghanaians
@@TheNaijaGosiperThe south of Cameroon would have been part of Nigeria but I learnt the Cameroonians then had a referendum to stay in Cameroon instead of Nigeria back then. Remember the national council of Nigeria and Cameroon a political party led by Nnamdi Azikiwe? I am from Ikom in Nigeria and my Cameroonian friends in the US are all from the south of Cameroon and most of them pass for Nigerians easily

Haven discovered Darling Lyonga last year, then Kocee, Old Pancho etc, i now so much love Anglophone Cameroonians and their similarity to Naija.. Well done Carol
I want to believe this is your normal accent, and I hope it's the same for other Cameroonians. You sound so much like a Nigerian that I was shocked when you mentioned that you're a Cameroonian. The accent is literally the same and I honestly can't pick out a difference. I can easily spot a Ghanian speaking English, so if we are being classified as sisters then I'll say to the Cameroonians "twin, where have you been?"
English speaking Cameroonians called the anglophones and Nigerians sound the same. She sounds like a normal anglophone Cameroonian to me , I was astonished by the way Nigerians are surprised we sound the same lol, this says a lot about the fact you guys know little about Cameroon. We sound the same when we speak English but our pidgin have a lot of differences but we can 100% understand ourselves.
@@folahdirane6193the first day I heard Cameroonains talked, I swear they were Nigerians, I wish we're being compared to Anglophone Cameroon, cause we sound alike, look alike, cook alike and even dress alike. Instead of the force comparison with Ghana

Oga, she is Cameroonian , I dnt know many of you r so naive , many anglofones sounds a bit similar to Nigerian accents, you guys shud know all these ..
when it comes to speaking local languages, Nigeria is a good example If you travel to the Northern part (Maiduguri, Yola, Kano..) most people speak Hausa or Fulani Similarly, when you travel to rhe East (Onitsha, Aba, Enugu..) people will speak Igbo to you And when you are in the South West part of Nigeria, the dominant language is Yoruba In Cameroon people have been brainwashed excessively; that is why Cameroonians tend to speak English or French instead of their loxal languages
Oh thank you. This could not have been said any better. I honestly wish we were so culture inclined like Nigerians. It's sad how some of us born in Cameroon and living here do not know how to speak our local languages so well. But Nigerians born even in the western world still speak their local language very fluently. I love this particular aspect of theirs. They teach their children from tender ages, that's how it is handed down from generation to generation. I'm still to see a Nigeria who can't speak his local language. I love that spirit wunna no gree for the colonial languages to over take yours.
Erm we have other minority tribes which you didn't mention. I am from Akwa Ibom and my ancestors originally are from Cameroon border towns. Cross River people can trace their ancestry to Cameroon as well. Remember before the British came we were one until they divided us. Some of the soups in the border towns are very similar to Akwa Ibom and Cross River
@BoskiM not only the soups are similar, the cultural dressing style, mannerism and accent of Calabar and Akwa Ibom people are so similar with ours. If not really for the whites we would have still been together.
@@BoskiMThe British did not divide us,It was the English speaking Eastern Cameroon that foolishly voted to be part of Cameroon and no longer to be part of Nigeria. As our people say: "Today nko?". Just take a listen to the presenter, she's a lady who has obviously been learned and indoctrinated the Nigerian way. If you tell me she's Cameroonian i could doubt you because she's got the Naija accent.😂😂😂😂😂
Weh😂 pity our forefathers, they did not willingly do the foolish thing. It was the French side of Cameroon that decieved us to sign that document by putting Yes or Yes there in french and so our fore fathers could not understand what they were signing. We love Nigeria, we actually wanted to be joined with you guys. All thesame we are still together. Nigeria still has alot of impact on us today.
My Beautiful Sister we are one people, especially the English speaking part of Cameroon. The soup that you called Ero in Cameroon we call it Afang in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States of Nigeria. I'm super excited to watch your first ever visit to our dear country Nigeria and I'm also glad that you did enjoyed your stay. Please when next you visit try and pay a visit to Akwa Ibom State, then you'll realized that we are the same people.
We are so much alike. Even a dish we call here Ekwang, you guys from Akwa Ibom call it Ekpang nkukwo, something like that. But it's basucally thesame thing. Alot of similarities sister.
English speaking Cameroonians are so much like people from Akwa Ibom and Cross River. Same food, very close culture. Their pidgin English is the variance spoken in former Eastern region. They were separated from Nigeria and added to Cameroon.
I love you for your undiluted and transparent analysis of your experiences in Nigeria. I was spellbound while listening to you. I suspended everything I was doing to watch you out. You must be a very honest person. I score you 💯. I wish you a Nigerian husband because you will make a wonderful wife and will raise good children. You have just got another subscriber.❤🇳🇬
Glad you had that enriching experience. We say if you studied in Nigeria you can easily live any where in the world with ease. Looking forward to more of your experiences of other African countries. I recommend you visit Mauritius, a little Africa country on the Indian Ocean.
Good to listen to you. I have friends from Cameroon I met in South Africa and Italy. They are wonderful people. It seems you are from Limbe. You will be surprised we have Nembe in Nigeria, specifically in Bayelsa State.
Paying for bags when traveling is not same for every part of Nigeria. In the northern part of Nigeria they only charge for extra load, not for your bags.
Yes. You don't pay for luggage separately in the Western part of Nigeria except when you have several and the Driver will request you to pay extra fare on the excess.
Talking of taking advantage of modern telephony, Lagos denizens in particular and Nigerians in general are early adopters relative to Cameroon whose adoption of technology is slowed down by the kind of economy where the public sector is more preponderant than the private sector.
Hi Carol, It is with great joy and excitement that I listened to the very informative and interesting account of your very lively excursion into Lagos, Nigeria. It certainly sounds as though the inhabitants of Lagos are just as business-savvy as they dare religious. It also appears as though their community leaders pay a non-negligible attention to the development of road infrastructure, which in turn fosters development! It is most certainly exhilarating to have you back home safely, and I look forward to the next episode of your inexhaustible delivery of pleasant surprises, in terms of vlog quality, content and a little bit of history. Thank 😅you my friend, for all that you do. Stay blessed, awesome 😎 Carol! Sunday M.
🙈🙈🙈 my friend, thank you so much. I'm very happy for myself for coming back in one piece even.😂 Too many scary stories of how they might kidnap me and sell my body parts to one big Nigerian politician.
Alot of people portray so many bad things about Nigeria of how so many ills happen there. But going there, it's actually the opposite. I experienced nothing but extremely kind Nigerians and the country was so welcoming.
Lol the eateries mentioned are fast food restaurants. You have to go to the counter, stand and place your order. It is like that all over the world. It means there are no fast food restaurants in Limbe or something?!?
😂😂😂If you have traveled to Togo and Cotonou, you will see those white garment churches especially celestial. The founder of the Celestial church of Christ is a bennoise from Port Novo but he was chased out from the country by the then president in the 1948 because he preached against idol worshipping, but Nigeria (Yorubas) accepted him and he turned to a Nigerian. He was buried in Nigeria. The founder was so powerful and gifted with healing powers to extent that millions of Nigerians became a member Celestial church. My mum was a twins, when she was 8 years her twin sister died. This man, I mean the founder of celestial church woke her from death on the second day and she grew to 86 years b4 she later died. The man healed a lot of people. Celestial church can never die. My mum and were Celestians. Read more on the man on Google. His name was Samuel Bilewu Oshoffa. A true man of God.
Hello. Nigeria is not a perfect just like every country in the world. We are getting better. Our government is building a road from Lagos to calabar over 700k it would be easy for southern Cameroonian to access Nigeria. We are your families. You speak like us and have similar cultures like us. If your formal leaders voted right you’ll would’ve been part of Nigeria. But we are so much in love 🥰 with you’ll and wants to bring you’ll back to your rightful place by connecting Nigeria with southern Cameroon. Note you where part of Nigeria before you option out. Thank you for your visit. You are Nigerian try to connect tell your parents that. Tell them history.
By reading your comment, i can tell you are well read and updated. So many Nigeria do not know this history. If only our former leaders actually voted right we would be with you guys now. Regardless of bad decision or nor, blood is thicker than water, we are still connected and share alot in common.
@@elomocaroltvyes you are literally my sister I am from Akwa Ibom (a sister state to Cross River) and ancestry can be traced to the border towns of Cameroon
@@charlesugochukwu9283bro, I prefer we associate with Cameroonians more than Ghanaians who see us as competition, laden with envy and jealousy. Listen to her accent and you can't tell she is not Nigerian unlike the GH ones who pronounce words in a funny way and still claim they speak better.
We the Popular brands of Petrol stations like Total Mobil etc. those are called Major marketers, and we have independent Marketers they are over 1000 brands all over the nation, petroleum business in Nigeria is open and less monopolistic
What brought me here dear….You look & your English sounds like tha of Nigerians …Interesting….you’re not sounding like those ghanians,Kenyans or Ugandas people 😂You Just got a new subscriber….Much love &
@@elomocaroltvMany Cameroonians from the western parts speak like Nigerians. I guess colonial history and language connections have much to do with it
I am so shocked Elomo that you admired Nigeria Police to the point that you want Cameroon Police to emulate. Be careful for what you ask for. Honestly, you are lovely.
😂 not so entirely. I just love the fact that they don't over stress the drivers averagely and they collect a smaller amount that what they collect here. But we love our police regardless.
It is normal. She was not in Nigeria for long. If she stays long, she will taste the ugly side of the police. The Cameroon police collect bribe from people who violate the law.
We fought for our police to do normal ooo, it wasn't EASY o carol, and one of them is the #endsars protests and others. But we believe things are changing and the country will be better for it.👍
I'm sorry to say this but we must be honest with ourselves, the Nigerian police are corrupt and incompetent ...... some of that blame does go to them being underfunded, the lack of good training and monitoring.
@@elomocaroltvthere are over 25 banks in Nigeria, and I can tell u I have 23 accts aside Polaris bank and keystone 😂😂 couple with the fact that am a banker, have previously work with abt 6 different banks
What I like about this video is just the fact that it says LOGOS Nigeria,..on like my experience In Nigeria as if once you get to Lagos that’s the whole of Nigeria. Because every part of Nigeria is not 100% the same.
Talking of the existence of ambulant medication sellers too on transport busses it Nigeria, that practice emigrated from Nigeria to Cameroon. Cameroon only copied from Nigeria when we started operating luxury transport busses like Garantee Express in 1987. Luxury bus services had been in Nigeria long before Cameroon. In fact, many things we do in Cameroon came from Nigeria especially when Southern Cameroons was administered by the governor (a British)of Eastern Nigeria. Then Yoruba words like akara (acra or puffpuff, bouba, shimi, and dodo came).
You sound 100% Nigerian. I think Nigerians and Anglophone Cameroonians are one people. I wonder why we keep forcing Ghanaians on ourselves when we obviously have more affinity with Cameroonians. Not saying Ghanaians shouldn't be close to us though.
That closeness with Ghana was a colonial mistake, that was continued by our early leaders, that has to be corrected. One can't ignore his cousin and jump far off looking for adopted friends Cameroon is one of only country that border Nigeria from North to South, with direct cultural, genetic, and ancestral links. Allowing the colonial languages and colonial borders to make us good far away looking for buddies is really wrong. Nigeria and Cameroon are one people, they must overcome whatever barrier the colonial rubbish caused and rebuild from where are ancestors left it. Globalization has taught us that we can survive and succeed in any land irrespective of language, so nobody should be drawing any boundaries based such matter.
@@agass2576 I totally agree. We are one people with Cameroon and they should be closer. I dont see any similarities with Ghana that we try to force friendship with.
The only misunderstanding here is, that at Eatry, you don't need to go for your food by yourself. You sit first and they come straight to ask for the order. I am Nigerian but live here in Sweden. I love Nigeria. Nigeria is like the world.
Nigeria and Southern Cameroun is about the closest nations in culture, mother tongue, etc we are just so alike, I used to think it's Ghana. I would like to be in Cameroun.
I didn't say i know Nigeria so well. I mean a country with over 37 states. Ofcourse i cannot know it so well by visiting only about 2 states. I just spoke from the little i experienced. I will definately try to visit other parts when next i come.
I live in Lagos but can't speak Yoruba. Same with my cousins who were born in Lagos too. So it depends on part of Lagos you stay. There are dominant Yoruba speaking areas and vice versa.
I watched some of your videos you girls didn't visit the lagos island to see places like lkoyi vi & lekki you only stay in mainland next time if you come try to visit those places you will know lagos is something else 😅
Your accent sounds like people from ikom in cross river state Nigeria, but still am not surprised we are Neighbors. Even your pigin sounds like crossiverians too. Welcome dear
I like your authenticity and genuineness.Your ascent is at par with Nigerians.I am not surprised about your ascent and look because I studied with Cameroonians in UNILAG and worked with English Camerouninans in the UK.

when it comes to speaking local languages, Nigeria is a good example
If you travel to the Northern part (Maiduguri, Yola, Kano..) most people speak Hausa or Fulani
Similarly, when you travel to rhe East (Onitsha, Aba, Enugu..) people will speak Igbo to you
And when you are in the South West part of Nigeria, the dominant language is Yoruba
In Cameroon people have been brainwashed excessively; that is why Cameroonians tend to speak English or French instead of their loxal languages
Oh thank you. This could not have been said any better. I honestly wish we were so culture inclined like Nigerians. It's sad how some of us born in Cameroon and living here do not know how to speak our local languages so well. But Nigerians born even in the western world still speak their local language very fluently.
I love this particular aspect of theirs. They teach their children from tender ages, that's how it is handed down from generation to generation.
I'm still to see a Nigeria who can't speak his local language.
I love that spirit wunna no gree for the colonial languages to over take yours.
Erm we have other minority tribes which you didn't mention. I am from Akwa Ibom and my ancestors originally are from Cameroon border towns. Cross River people can trace their ancestry to Cameroon as well. Remember before the British came we were one until they divided us. Some of the soups in the border towns are very similar to Akwa Ibom and Cross River
@BoskiM not only the soups are similar, the cultural dressing style, mannerism and accent of Calabar and Akwa Ibom people are so similar with ours. If not really for the whites we would have still been together.
@@BoskiMThe British did not divide us,It was the English speaking Eastern Cameroon that foolishly voted to be part of Cameroon and no longer to be part of Nigeria.
As our people say: "Today nko?".
Just take a listen to the presenter, she's a lady who has obviously been learned and indoctrinated the Nigerian way.
If you tell me she's Cameroonian i could doubt you because she's got the Naija accent.😂😂😂😂😂
Weh😂 pity our forefathers, they did not willingly do the foolish thing. It was the French side of Cameroon that decieved us to sign that document by putting Yes or Yes there in french and so our fore fathers could not understand what they were signing. We love Nigeria, we actually wanted to be joined with you guys. All thesame we are still together. Nigeria still has alot of impact on us today.
My Beautiful Sister we are one people, especially the English speaking part of Cameroon.
The soup that you called Ero in Cameroon we call it Afang in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States of Nigeria.
I'm super excited to watch your first ever visit to our dear country Nigeria and I'm also glad that you did enjoyed your stay.
Please when next you visit try and pay a visit to Akwa Ibom State, then you'll realized that we are the same people.
We are so much alike. Even a dish we call here Ekwang, you guys from Akwa Ibom call it Ekpang nkukwo, something like that. But it's basucally thesame thing. Alot of similarities sister.
@@elomocaroltv you are very correct dear. We are one people.
@nsikakessien 🤗
English speaking Cameroonians are so much like people from Akwa Ibom and Cross River. Same food, very close culture. Their pidgin English is the variance spoken in former Eastern region. They were separated from Nigeria and added to Cameroon.
Is the same oo I am in Dubai with Cameroon friends we eat almost same food
I love you for your undiluted and transparent analysis of your experiences in Nigeria. I was spellbound while listening to you. I suspended everything I was doing to watch you out. You must be a very honest person. I score you 💯. I wish you a Nigerian husband because you will make a wonderful wife and will raise good children. You have just got another subscriber.❤🇳🇬
Awwwww thank you so much
I love your content and for that reason, I will be planning to visit Cameroon soon. I hope you'll be willing to be my travel guide.
You are already welcome in advance.
Glad you had that enriching experience. We say if you studied in Nigeria you can easily live any where in the world with ease.
Looking forward to more of your experiences of other African countries. I recommend you visit Mauritius, a little Africa country on the Indian Ocean.
Thanks, sister for this, we Nigerians do not see it like this we think we are backward.
Good to listen to you. I have friends from Cameroon I met in South Africa and Italy. They are wonderful people.
It seems you are from Limbe. You will be surprised we have Nembe in Nigeria, specifically in Bayelsa State.
Oh really wow.
Your accent sounds exactly like ours in Naija.
And I like the fact that you have a good knowledge of our history as one people. ❤❤❤❤❤
🤗
I didn’t want the video to finish 😍
😂😂😂 oh oh too bad it had to end.
Paying for bags when traveling is not same for every part of Nigeria.
In the northern part of Nigeria they only charge for extra load, not for your bags.
Yes. You don't pay for luggage separately in the Western part of Nigeria except when you have several and the Driver will request you to pay extra fare on the excess.
@lolaamuda5101 oh nice.
Thanks lady, this was quite entertaining
Lagos has approximately 285 branches of major commercial banks.. thats excluding, microfinance, regional banks, merchant banks amd others
Wow
@@elomocaroltvall 9ja banks Head Quarters are in Lagos
Talking of taking advantage of modern telephony, Lagos denizens in particular and Nigerians in general are early adopters relative to Cameroon whose adoption of technology is slowed down by the kind of economy where the public sector is more preponderant than the private sector.
A lot of Africans don't travel, but the day some of them visit Nigeria then they understand that Nigeria nor be their mate.
Humble yourself oloye
I dont know about no be their mate part but all of us are guilty, we africans don't go to other african countries as much and in some cases, never.
As in eh😂
A proud Nigerian citizen there.
Which is something we as Africans need to do better.
Love thisssss!!
You sound more Nigerian than me!
You express so well.
Super amazing of you!
Kudos👍
Hi Carol,
It is with great joy and excitement that I listened to the very informative and interesting account of your very lively excursion into Lagos, Nigeria.
It certainly sounds as though the inhabitants of Lagos are just as business-savvy as they dare religious.
It also appears as though their community leaders pay a non-negligible attention to the development of road infrastructure, which in turn fosters development!
It is most certainly exhilarating to have you back home safely, and I look forward to the next episode of your inexhaustible delivery of pleasant surprises, in terms of vlog quality, content and a little bit of history.
Thank 😅you my friend, for all that you do.
Stay blessed, awesome 😎 Carol!
Sunday M.
🙈🙈🙈 my friend, thank you so much. I'm very happy for myself for coming back in one piece even.😂 Too many scary stories of how they might kidnap me and sell my body parts to one big Nigerian politician.
@@elomocaroltvOh really? U actually meant to say this?
Alot of people portray so many bad things about Nigeria of how so many ills happen there. But going there, it's actually the opposite. I experienced nothing but extremely kind Nigerians and the country was so welcoming.
Wow! You speak so Nigerian-like in terms of accent. I really enjoy your narration.
I'm glad you did🙏
Excellent video. I’ve watched it two times already 😂. Also subscribed hoping to see videos of your future trips to Naija.
Thank you so much, hopefully.
Lol the eateries mentioned are fast food restaurants. You have to go to the counter, stand and place your order. It is like that all over the world. It means there are no fast food restaurants in Limbe or something?!?
Love ur analysis. Looking forward to visit that Nigeria some day
You should definately visit.
The white Garment churches are Cele aka Celestial Church of Christ while the other one is called C&S aka Cherubim and Seraphim..
Oh thank you so much for this information. I didn't know how they were called.
😂😂😂If you have traveled to Togo and Cotonou, you will see those white garment churches especially celestial. The founder of the Celestial church of Christ is a bennoise from Port Novo but he was chased out from the country by the then president in the 1948 because he preached against idol worshipping, but Nigeria (Yorubas) accepted him and he turned to a Nigerian. He was buried in Nigeria. The founder was so powerful and gifted with healing powers to extent that millions of Nigerians became a member Celestial church. My mum was a twins, when she was 8 years her twin sister died. This man, I mean the founder of celestial church woke her from death on the second day and she grew to 86 years b4 she later died. The man healed a lot of people. Celestial church can never die. My mum and were Celestians. Read more on the man on Google. His name was Samuel Bilewu Oshoffa. A true man of God.
There are two different church
Hello. Nigeria is not a perfect just like every country in the world. We are getting better. Our government is building a road from Lagos to calabar over 700k it would be easy for southern Cameroonian to access Nigeria. We are your families. You speak like us and have similar cultures like us. If your formal leaders voted right you’ll would’ve been part of Nigeria. But we are so much in love 🥰 with you’ll and wants to bring you’ll back to your rightful place by connecting Nigeria with southern Cameroon. Note you where part of Nigeria before you option out. Thank you for your visit. You are Nigerian try to connect tell your parents that. Tell them history.
By reading your comment, i can tell you are well read and updated. So many Nigeria do not know this history. If only our former leaders actually voted right we would be with you guys now. Regardless of bad decision or nor, blood is thicker than water, we are still connected and share alot in common.
@@elomocaroltvyes you are literally my sister I am from Akwa Ibom (a sister state to Cross River) and ancestry can be traced to the border towns of Cameroon
@BoskiM Hi sister, Akwa Ibom and Calabar people are actually like family to us. Not so much difference.
Cameroonians are more closely related to us Nigerians than Ghanaians who we relate more with
@@charlesugochukwu9283bro, I prefer we associate with Cameroonians more than Ghanaians who see us as competition, laden with envy and jealousy. Listen to her accent and you can't tell she is not Nigerian unlike the GH ones who pronounce words in a funny way and still claim they speak better.
We the Popular brands of Petrol stations like Total Mobil etc. those are called Major marketers, and we have independent Marketers they are over 1000 brands all over the nation, petroleum business in Nigeria is open and less monopolistic
When are you coming back? You’re good. Include Owerri and Abuja in your next visit.
This is interesting, I must complement your beauty🎉
Note: what ever experience you get in Lagos is totally different from what you would experience in other part of Nigeria
Exactly why i am anxious to visit other parts of Nigeria.
If you happen to be in Abuja.
Holla me to take you round.
@@elomocaroltv free tour guide.
@user-jl8ue7fr7k thank you so much for the offer. Please write to me on Instagram so we can plan it out.
@@elomocaroltv ok
The language thing is like saying you go to london and they speak english. Na normal, normal.
Exactly. Perfect example.
Correction Nigeria has more than 50 different petrol stations, when you travel across Nigeria you get to see a lot more
Over a 1000 i bet you
Oh wow that's massive.
Wowwwww that's explosive. But they deserve that number to be able to carry up the population
Which kind 50 Nigeria about 1k filling stations
@jydestev wow
What brought me here dear….You look & your English sounds like tha of Nigerians …Interesting….you’re not sounding like those ghanians,Kenyans or Ugandas people 😂You Just got a new subscriber….Much love &
Awwww thank you so much. I hear that alot.
Honestly if you didn't mention that you are from Cameroon, no one will doubt it if you had said you are from Nigeria.
@adekeyeoluwole2076 oh really, i hear that alot.
@@elomocaroltvno then highup nor Mami
@user-ql9fh9og6n 😂😂😂
The fact that you sound so much like a Nigerian astonished me. You speak Yoruba fluently, and your accent is rather nice.
I have heard this alot, this i sound very much Nigerian.😂 Thank you though
@@elomocaroltvMany Cameroonians from the western parts speak like Nigerians. I guess colonial history and language connections have much to do with it
@user-fi9hy9nx4q Exactly, we are neighbours so we have so many similarities.
Fluently? She knows a bit of the basic and it's cool
@helendamo3853 😂 i cannot even speak Yoruba for upto 10 minutes straight. I know just the very basic stuff and words.
Nice experience when are visiting Kenya
When you invite me🤗
I am so shocked Elomo that you admired Nigeria Police to the point that you want Cameroon Police to emulate.
Be careful for what you ask for.
Honestly, you are lovely.
😂 not so entirely. I just love the fact that they don't over stress the drivers averagely and they collect a smaller amount that what they collect here. But we love our police regardless.
It is normal. She was not in Nigeria for long. If she stays long, she will taste the ugly side of the police. The Cameroon police collect bribe from people who violate the law.
@@elomocaroltv the 100 naira is bribe, it is not legal
If you've been to Cameroon you will understand her comment.
@@ibiyeomieibidavids4552 now I get, it is illegal money here so they are careful too
I really enjoyed and appreciated your observations. Kudos to you!
Thank you
Not everything that happened in lagos is same with other state, Nigeria is diverse
Yeah i do know Nigeria has over 37 states. So it's a big country with so much diversity.
@@elomocaroltv36 states*
@oluwatosinbabatunde-olotu3359 thank you for the correction.
Plus Abuja Biko
It will soon be 37 States
For the bags, it depends on the size and weight of the bags, if the bag is not very big, you don't pay for it
I'm planing to come as my first visit to Cameroon
You are very much welcome already
We fought for our police to do normal ooo, it wasn't EASY o carol, and one of them is the #endsars protests and others. But we believe things are changing and the country will be better for it.👍
Ah you guys did so well. Because your police are actually hearing word now. Indeed, you guys are getting better as the days go ahead.
I'm sorry to say this but we must be honest with ourselves, the Nigerian police are corrupt and incompetent ...... some of that blame does go to them being underfunded, the lack of good training and monitoring.
You said it like it is
You are so cute and authentic
you have the same vibe as naija babes

Even from Nigeria movies, all man get bank account. From village level to town level

I hope to visit cameroon someday soon...
Nice video
You are already very much welcomed.
Ilat fisrt i said why did she introduced herself as a cameroonian, you soud more like a Nigerian.❤❤❤
Traveling is educating
Thanks
The very essence of travelling. Education.
God bless You! I enjoyed your observations! Watching from Lagos
What I like about this video is just the fact that it says LOGOS Nigeria,..on like my experience In Nigeria as if once you get to Lagos that’s the whole of Nigeria. Because every part of Nigeria is not 100% the same.
Yeah that's so true.
Your analysis are on point. I was literally smiling all through. And your accent is so much like ours.
Watching from Enugu.
A new subbie
Thank you
I hale you. You bi naija for Cameron
Talking of the existence of ambulant medication sellers too on transport busses it Nigeria, that practice emigrated from Nigeria to Cameroon. Cameroon only copied from Nigeria when we started operating luxury transport busses like Garantee Express in 1987. Luxury bus services had been in Nigeria long before Cameroon. In fact, many things we do in Cameroon came from Nigeria especially when Southern Cameroons was administered by the governor (a British)of Eastern Nigeria. Then Yoruba words like akara (acra or puffpuff, bouba, shimi, and dodo came).
You sound 100% Nigerian. I think Nigerians and Anglophone Cameroonians are one people. I wonder why we keep forcing Ghanaians on ourselves when we obviously have more affinity with Cameroonians. Not saying Ghanaians shouldn't be close to us though.
Yeah we actually do have alot in common.
That closeness with Ghana was a colonial mistake, that was continued by our early leaders, that has to be corrected. One can't ignore his cousin and jump far off looking for adopted friends
Cameroon is one of only country that border Nigeria from North to South, with direct cultural, genetic, and ancestral links. Allowing the colonial languages and colonial borders to make us good far away looking for buddies is really wrong. Nigeria and Cameroon are one people, they must overcome whatever barrier the colonial rubbish caused and rebuild from where are ancestors left it.
Globalization has taught us that we can survive and succeed in any land irrespective of language, so nobody should be drawing any boundaries based such matter.
@@agass2576 I totally agree. We are one people with Cameroon and they should be closer. I dont see any similarities with Ghana that we try to force friendship with.
We Cameroonian lives with lots of Nigerians in Cameroon. We are brothers and sisters. We live in peace ✌️
@agass2576 🙏
You sound Nigerian dear. I hope you had a good time in Naija ❤ 🇳🇬 🇨🇲
I sure did, i have plans of returning.
sweet video, educative.
You sound 100% Nigerian, Carol. Are you sure there's no Nigerian gene in you? First time subscriber.
😂thank you
My experience in your country, Duala in particular. When it rains, it pours, no joke.
Ah the rain doesn't sper when it means business.
The only misunderstanding here is, that at Eatry, you don't need to go for your food by yourself. You sit first and they come straight to ask for the order. I am Nigerian but live here in Sweden. I love Nigeria. Nigeria is like the world.
Nigeria and Southern Cameroun is about the closest nations in culture, mother tongue, etc we are just so alike, I used to think it's Ghana. I would like to be in Cameroun.
You are welcome to Cameroon already.
@@elomocaroltv Any food to recommend when I come, I understand you guys eat lots of plantain based food.
@geoffreyemeka7993 ah we have so many delicious meals. You should try out fufu and eru, fufu corn and khati khati, Ekwang etc.
In the north we even use maskin tape to repair money and use it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is so funny
Am from Nigeria 🇳🇬 and i ❤ur video contents
Thank you so much.

am a Nigerian, well said, but you should not conclude knowing Nigeria without exploring Abuja the federal capital or the Northern part.
I didn't say i know Nigeria so well. I mean a country with over 37 states. Ofcourse i cannot know it so well by visiting only about 2 states. I just spoke from the little i experienced. I will definately try to visit other parts when next i come.
@@elomocaroltv looking forward to see you again, much love!
@simonpeter4901 hopefully.🙏

You are 100% correct about all those things u noticed in Nigeria. It is like that throughout the whole nation
I watched some of your videos you girls didn't visit the lagos island to see places like lkoyi vi & lekki you only stay in mainland next time if you come try to visit those places you will know lagos is something else 😅
Hopefully i go visit those areas on my next trip.
@elomocaroltv you can check out a Kenyan lady call shorn arwa she also visited lagos she filmed all this places am talking about
@salehibrahim1956 i'm going to check her out immediately.
Your accent sounds like people from ikom in cross river state Nigeria, but still am not surprised we are Neighbors. Even your pigin sounds like crossiverians too. Welcome dear

Beautiful video, glad you enjoyed your stay. ✌️
Thank you so much, oh yes i did. Very much actually and i'm already planning a return trip.
I like your authenticity and genuineness.Your ascent is at par with Nigerians.I am not surprised about your ascent and look because I studied with Cameroonians in UNILAG and worked with English Camerouninans in the UK.
@Daddychef1000 thank you🙏
Why is the video of actual places visited missing?
The actual videos makes the experience more lively and relatable than just speech.
You can mix videos with words, in your subsequent episodes.
A great analysis.
Thank you.
