The Trap Has a Name What produces this behaviour at scale is not a moral failing unique to Cameroon. It is an institutional design. Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson spent decades studying why some nations build wealth and others consume it. Their answer: institutions. In what they call extractive institutional environments, the rational strategy for almost every actor, from the senior official to the roadside policeman to the family agent managing your construction site, is not to create value but to capture it. To position yourself near wherever resources are flowing and take your share before they move on. This logic does not stay at the top. It cascades downward through every layer of society. When the state extracts from ministries, ministries extract from contractors, contractors extract from clients, and family members extract from relatives, extraction becomes the learned behaviour of the entire system. It is what people around you do. It is what works. The diaspora investor entering this system is the most visible resource it has encountered in some time. Foreign currency. A desire to build. And something no neutral foreign investor carries: a reason they cannot simply walk away. A French or Chinese investor negotiates with cold calculation and leaves when terms turn unfavourable. You cannot do that. Walking away means abandoning the cousin, the community, the version of yourself that left with a promise. That guilt is not incidental. It is a lever, and everyone at the table knows it. The contractor extracting from your project is not extracting from a business. He is extracting from a relationship. And relationships, in Cameroon, are very hard to audit. The State That Benefits From Your Generosity There is a layer to this problem that operates more quietly, and causes perhaps the most long-term damage. Research across 86 developing countries found that in weak governance states, higher diaspora remittances are statistically linked to reduced government spending on health and education. The more diaspora families privately fund school fees, hospital bills, and housing, the less pressure governments face to provide them publicly. The diaspora substitutes for the state. The state, relieved of pressure, continues not to build. Separate research tracking African autocratic regimes found something darker still: that remittance flows help stabilise weak governments, because populations that are privately supported do not riot. They cope. The diaspora’s money, sent with genuine love, buys political calm for the same system that is failing the people receiving it. This is the trap in its full form. You are not just losing your investment to extraction. You are, unintentionally, extending the life of the very conditions that made that extraction inevitable. Cont…

If you have tried to invest in Cameroon from abroad, you know the specific quality of that disappointment. It is not the disappointment of a bad business idea or a difficult market. It is the disappointment of being taken from by people who knew you. Your contractor. Your family member managing the site. The childhood friend you trusted with the money. The cousin who stopped picking up after the third call. What makes it so corrosive is not the loss itself. It is the realisation that everyone seemed to be pulling in the same direction, and that direction was toward themselves. The contractor overbilled. The agent skimmed. The municipal clerk found a reason the permit needed something extra. The police found a reason to stop by. Not one bad actor, but a chain of them, each taking their share as if it were entirely normal. Because in Cameroon, it is entirely normal. That is the thing nobody says out loud. And understanding why it is normal, not excusing it but genuinely understanding it, is the only way to do anything about it. Why Everyone Extracts The frustration diaspora investors carry is rarely just about the money. It is about what the money reveals: an apparent inability of people on the ground to see what they are destroying. Why does the contractor inflate costs on a project that could give him three years of steady work? Why does the family member skim from a business they were promised a share of? This looks like short-sightedness. The more honest diagnosis is something economists call rational behaviour under institutional insecurity. In an environment where savings can be eroded overnight, where property can be seized without legal recourse, where contracts are not reliably enforced and the future is genuinely uncertain, the rational weight given to tomorrow is very low. What is certain is the money in front of you today. The person extracting from your project is not failing to see the long game. They have learned, correctly, through years of living in this system, that the long game rarely pays. This is not unique to Cameroon. It is documented behaviour in every society where institutional security is chronically absent. When you cannot trust that what you build today will still be yours tomorrow, you take today. The tragedy is that this individually rational adaptation is collectively catastrophic. Every contractor who inflates costs drives away the investors who could have provided years of work. Every agent who skims destroys the business that was meant to generate shared income. Every extraction sends a signal, through diaspora WhatsApp groups and community gatherings in Paris and London and Houston, that Cameroon punishes investment rather than rewarding it. The reputation compounds. Investors stop trying. The cycle tightens around everyone still inside it. Cont…

The Blue Lagoon, Lagdo🇨🇲📍 This place is seriously underrated for lagoons and Lovers of Islands. It’s actually a massive artificial oasis created by a hydro dam in the 1980s. Today, it features hidden islands. 📸 Dasy Danga | Stéphane Nounamo

@hermannekwlla 😭🤣

Tu as 34 ans, peut-être que Dieu a prévu te bénir à 35 ans, toi tu as diminué ton âge jusqu’à 25 ans. Voilà tu vas attendre encore 10 ans.

Douala, capitale économique du Cameroun, avril 2026. C'est criminel de faire ça à son peuple. C'est honteux de "supporter" de vivre dans de telles conditions.

@LaRadicalEE @MSJF03 Elle est juste magnifique Et malheureusement la beauté derrange les personnes obscures

@MSJF03 Tu es sérieux là ? Hey ben ! Ça vous gêne en quoi ? Littéralement en quoi ses robes nuisent ? Où est le manque de respect au tennis ? Quand l’équipe du Cameroun avait porté les maillots démembrés ils avaient aussi manqué de respect au foot ?

Les pick-me vont te dire qu’on la harcèle. Vu qu’elle est déjà à Paris , j’espère qu’une joueuse qui respecte ce sport va lui donner l’occasion d’aller mettre sa friperie ailleurs.

@TennisActu La question est tellement inappropriée 🤦🏾‍♂️

Aryna Sabalenka a été traitée d’hypocrite par certains observateurs après avoir porté des bijoux d’une très grande valeur en plein match… Sa réponse👀 « Le tennis, partout & toujours ici », sur TennisActu.net🎾 #Sabalenka #RolandGarros #RG26 #tennis #prizemoney

@canal2inter Toujours pénibles d’écoute certains agents de l’administration, défendre l’indéfendable en mixant menaces et faux arguments d’intérêt collectifs, alors que le vrai fondement est la mauvaise gestion et l’utilisation du peuple comme vache à traire 😒

@Noir123R Vous ne savez même pas ce que vous racontez

Es-tu huissier ou agent de l’État… ? D’où « le quartier » dans mon post.. Non seulement tu te mets en danger, mais tu te rends aussi coupable d’une usurpation de fonctions. C’est dommage de tomber ds le mimétisme de la masse… Le changement dt être incarné à chaq instant.

@AnniePayep Il y a un pays la, c’est seulement dans les chansons et via les commentaires de certains sur les plateaux TV que le pays réalise ca.

Il y'a les uns et il y'a les autres.😐 Aucune magie : #Vision et #Leadership
