Living in Douala, you need to be patient and courageous. The way transporters (taxis and motor bikers) speed and don’t respect the highway code is alarming. Most people living and working in Douala earn below the amount that can sustain living in the town, thus paying rent, buying food, transportation, paying for utilities, medical bills, etc. comes at a cost the citizens can’t afford. The rate of crime is alarming due to the high rate of unemployment, many youths have turned to pickpockets, armed robberies or scamming to find refuge and make money, most of which engage into heavy drinking and smoking and drug abuse.
However the town of Douala is not all about negatives, it is the economic capital of Cameroon hence it’s where big companies and factories are located and where business is at its peak. Any hardworking and determined person can make a living in Cameroon.
