Cameroon – Brenda Biya: First Daughter would be spending around 96 million/year on taxi!

The case has already been internationalized since its appearance on social networks. Indeed, having been ejected from a taxi in the United States, the young Brenda Biya estimated to have been a victim of racism. Student in a University of California (UC IRVINE) 60 km from Los Angeles, it is from the mouth of the young lady we learn that to get there, 800 dollars round trip (about 500,000 CFA francs) , per day.

One can already get into the calculations. When you consider that our national celebrity has university classes four times a week and should make this trip once or twice a day, we can deduce that the taxi fares, of the first daughter  costs about 1 to 2 million CFA francs each week from Cameroonian taxpayers 4-8 million per month and 48 to 96 million CFA francs a year.

Since then, the video posted on Snapchat has angered Cameroonians. The truth is that when an average Cameroonian listens to statements made in this video, he/she is disgusted. And because, according to a recent survey, 60% of Far North residents live below the poverty line. Besides this, many Cameroonians are dying because they have no means for proper treatment, and the list is non-exhaustive.

According to some people, there is thus an urgent need to re-frame the teenager. She needs to be taught that the presidential family is in all countries an institution whose actions are always spiced, commented, and criticized. In addition, her warm blood which she speaks of in her video, should be tamed.
