In recent days, markets in Yaounde are saturated, prices rise, the activities are increasing at the end of the year, trade fir has been added as a prelude to celebration of the Nativity in the Roman Catholic and other congregations nearby. Even students were thrown into the water to save a little bread.
He did not miss the coach again this year to attend to his usual occupation at the end of the year, Kingsley Muto is a student in Bamenda, but he has not forgotten that his profession usual is the sale of Christmas trees. We found it at work at the crossroads of Mobil Essos in Yaounde, where he was conducting its business in the company of another resourceful. On December 23, 2010, only two days separating us from what is known in the world the feast of the Nativity, the streets of Yaounde teeming with people, travel is difficult because many stubs and drivers Taxi became masters of the capital. Customers the highest bidders are competing for seats on the yellow cars, those who can not believe this sudden and growing inflation, will à pied. Les petits commerces se multiplient, comme celui des whisky le long de la chaussée. De passage au carrefour de la Mobil Essos, l’actuel Oil Libya, nous avons aperçu deux jeunes vendeurs de sapins, un commerce florissant depuis quelques jours seulement. Kingsley Muto est étudiant à l’Ecole Normale Supérieure annexe de Bambili à Bamenda dans la région du Nord-Ouest, il est parti de son lieu de résidence habituelle pour venir vendre ses sapins à Yaoundé. Il nous a avoués qu’il exerce cette activité depuis 10 ans et qu’il dispose de sapins dans sa concession à Bamenda. Il était surpris de nous voir aller vers lui, mais il n’a rien compliqué pour nous expliquer what he does.
recipes mined by Chinese imperialism
on prices that concern most customers who approach them in our presence, the friend of Kingsley tells us that its prices vary, there are trees of 1500 for smaller 2000 for medium and 3500 CFA for the largest. For his part, Kingsley who started his business on December 22 last was only another grid pricing, 1000, 1500, 2000, to 5,000 francs, "he said. "But it does not go well. "Says Kingsley who told us that in 2003 and 2004, revenue was terrible. What can explain the drop in revenue in 2010? Kingsley Muto is unclear but it is assumed that the Chinese presence in Cameroon, which already sell everything, donuts, cakes, clothing, even artificial trees. Despite the colonization of this trade by the Chinese side, Kingsley speak progressive revenue, without being specific, Dec. 22, it puts the figure at 20,000 francs, he anticipated receipts of 30,000 francs for the day of 23 December, the day our meeting. He also thought that these revenues would climb until December 24 is the last day of work.
"On 25 December I will celebrate in Bamenda in the family is to also life, "says Kingsley, who knows he is not a slave to money. We asked him then if the tree is a particular virtue that he advises his clients, but the student Bamenda told us he did not know if this tree was a Christmas benefit. He knows only that he sells it to the approach of December 25 each year, Kingsley example also shows how the Cameroonian students are forced to fend for their education and to survive.
