we must strive to survive in this world, my day was not an easy one. moving from Nigeria to Cameroon is not an easy thing since the Nigerian Government has locked her boarder. We are force to sneak in and out of Nigeria to buy goods to sell in Cameroon, We load goods in a vehicle bigger than the vehicle itself just to cope with police and customs settlement, and carry them to the town close to the border called Ekok, then after offloading the goods we hire another vehicle to carry the goods to the river separating Cameroon from Nigeria paying huge some of money due to high settlements because what we are doing is illegal since the Nigerian borders are known to be locked officially. when the goods arrive the river i pay offloaders to offload the goods from the vehicle and load them in a boat after discussing with the boat man on howmuch to pay him. The boat man will carry the goods across while still in the river he will need to do lots of settlements with marine, custom and joint tasks force and when arrive the bank of the river at the Cameroonian boarders we have to pay village due and pay offloaders to offload the goods from the boat and carry them off the river bank and hire another vehicle to carry the to a warehouse. This is how my day was, very strenuous , spending lots of money and also risking my life because many have died in river separating Nigeria and Cameroon ever since the bridge was blocked. I am foced to take this risk because i must thrive to survive.
