Re: Settling in Cameroon after Diaspora .

Mola Fred,

Thank you for highlighting this phenomenon which in my view is very alarming and confusing. You are however referring to lifestyle as being a major contributing factor to mortality. You are also indirectly referring to promiscuity as another factor. These two factors are very present in the developed world and continue to be responsible for the spread of HIV/AIDS among minorities (which unfortunately includes us!).

All what you have mentioned in your article is very true but do we have validated data as to the cause of death of most of our brethren once they return to the motherland? It will be worthwhile to carry out a study on this topic and publish the findings for the protection of those who are preparing to return home. We have acquired a lot in terms of formal and informal knowledge and experience which will benefit our people if properly disseminated. Your advice might be based on personal experience but a publication might very well be accepted by the always doubting Diasporans.

Thank you!

Dickson Besong.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

An overview of friends and contemporaries who have died in Cameroon following a lengthy experience in diaspora is quite alarming.

It is hard to understand why ex - diasporans ( who have returned to Cameroon ) tend to die suddenly and in huge numbers  compared to individuals resident in Cameroon and conducting the same tenure of life....

Excluding the established issue of poor access to proper health care in Africa, in my view, there are many other variables to address. For example:

A) Most ex-diasporans who die suddenly are socially inexperienced and upon their return to Cameroon,  they are often carried by pathological sexual tourism and excessive protagonistic  tendencies.

B) Some failed to secure a plan B . Did not secure a place and leave to stay  in this society in the event of poor re - adaptation back home.

So, when you go to Cameroon after years abroad, avoid jumping from one bar parlour to another.  Stick to your partner. Be reminded that CONDOMS in Africa are not that robust and safe like the ones here.

Avoid excessive protagonistic tendencies. In pidgin parlance " mind ya business".

There is a way to go about this. Start by practicing the above a couple of years ahead of your return. By the time your return is due, you will be aware of your new pattern of life.

 Secure a place and permit to stay in the West  before you attempt a return home. Also secure a home in Cameroon before attempting relocation.  Avoid family homes as this could result in bitter family disputes.

I hope you understand now.
