Comedian Fingon Tralala Calls for Change in Cameroon

Renowned Cameroonian comedian Fingon Tralala, also known by his real name, Serge Tchami, has urged, “We must all be united — to bring about change in our country.” Tchami, a multi-award-winning performer, believes Cameroonians have the power to change the country’s future. He calls on citizens to “mobilise” and ensure that they elect a new leader in 2025.

The recent widespread support for the talented visually impaired singer Prince Aime from Cameroon served as the inspiration for Fingon Tralala’s comments. A remix of Aime’s song, Viviane, brought together various artists in a never seen before collaboration. Released on November 4, 2024, the song quickly went viral, gathering 3.8 million views, 167,000 likes, and 68,000 comments in just one day.

As he reflected on this collective achievement, Fingon Tralala wrote on Facebook, saying, “We all saw yesterday that when the people commit to taking action, they always manage to achieve their goals. In 2025, we must all be united in this way to bring about change in our country.”

Cameroon’s Uncertain Future

Cameroon will head to the polls in 2025 to elect a new leader, as calls grow for a transition of power.

Supporters of President Paul Biya are pushing for him to run for an eighth term, despite mounting opposition after 42 years of his rule. His Critic have also cited serious issues like shortages in basic necessities such as food, water, and electricity, along with widespread unemployment, poor infrastructure, and significant human rights concerns.

Many Cameroonians are echoing Fingon Tralala’s call for change on social media.

“I completely agree… I think we really underestimate our potential as a people when we stand united, setting aside our tribal differences and focusing solely on our beautiful country, Cameroon, which belongs to all of us. It’s absolutely possible to achieve this!” wrote Michael Mabou, a Facebook user.

Another user, Eudoxie, said, “I’m in,” and added, “May God give us the courage to fight for what is rightfully ours and to achieve better living conditions.”

Social media user Trinity Feather offered a broader perspective on change, writing, “Change is not only about voting or focusing on who to elect. Change also comes from within us—our mindset, the way we behave in society, respecting moral and human values, and many other things.”

So far, it is unclear whether the 91-year-old President Biya will run in the upcoming election, but the calls for a new direction in Cameroon are rife.
