“List of 50 Most Influential Young Cameroonians 2016 is invalid” – Cameroonians blast

Avance Media has finally unveiled their official list of the 50 Most Influential Young Cameroonians in 2016 and Cameroonians are now reacting to the list on social media.

Avance Media, Africa’s leading media and public relations agency, says the initiative to come up with a valid list of the most influential young Cameroonians  is an annual ranking scheme for young Cameroonian achievers between the ages of 15 – 40.

The list was released on the group’s official Facebook page on January 20 and most Cameroonians are calling it a complete sham. While some claim more important names were been omitted from the list, others say the list is not credible.  Here are some comments dropped beneath the post:

Nyugap Romeo writes, “Where is Samuel eto’o, Maahlox, Locko, Mr leo, Reiniss, Ténor, Onguene, Franko, Minks?”

Olivier Nfon writes: “There are at least 4/5 people on the list that I don’t know! First of all there’s a lot of English speakers! I would like to know please who is the author of the list and what are the criteria for appointment! Thank you.”

Ndiba Wills writes, “You are not even ashamed, you don’t know names of Cameroonians, is Magasco a name??? Is Jovi a name???”

Jean Paul Tchinda writes, “Où est Cabral lilbil li ngué ngué, X _Maleya, Lady ponce, Jo Matrix, etc! What are the criteria to be on that list?”

Nsanyu Colins writes, “Fake list abeg wuna commot for here with influential. N’a their family and friends they di influence. I don’t even know 98% of guys on that list. Can u give me the meaning of influential? Nyeremporte koi stuiiiiiiiiiiiip”
