In the summer of 1996 I arrived in Germany for further studies. Before I left my homeland, Cameroon, my secondary school teachers, family, friends and acquaintances were very sure I would take up a course in natural science, most probably either in Information Technology (IT) or engineering. Personally, even I wished to study natural science until about 1992 – when an usual phenomenon – changed my mind. Round about this time a political ‘wind of change’ blew across Africa, which came to affect the political life of the people of Cameroon also. Such political upheaval also ushered in social changes which, in turn, paved the way for a series of questions that called for immediate answers – from the ‘governance’. As a result of this change, the people of Cameroon were introduced to democracy, which meant, the citizens got the opportunity to choose their leaders (party or parties) and therefore, could do away with the prevailing system of governance, which failed to satisfy the people. All this while, I remained a keen observant of the situation. My direct social environment (my family and peers) influenced me to be preoccupied with what was going around me. Problems arose in my family when my father indulged in the age-old custom of polygamy on the pretext of respecting tradition. Similarly an alarming rate of ‘juvenile delinquency’, such as unwanted or teenage pregnancies, abortion and even death, became a common phenomenon among my peers.
