Honestly, I think viral fake news makes it way riskier to do business in Cameroon. Even if nothing crazy is happening, the second some AI-made video pops up about the president or political chaos, people get nervous. My dad’s friend almost bailed on a real estate deal last week because he saw those rumors online and thought there was going to be chaos. Investors from other countries, especially, really freak out if they think the place isn’t stable, even when everything’s actually normal.

It doesn’t just mess with big companies—it hits the little guys too. My neighbor who owns a small electronics shop said he had fewer customers for two days right after that fake story dropped. People waited to see if there’d be trouble, just from a viral rumor! If you’re an investor, you have to keep your eyes open and double check news before making calls. Personally, I’d stick with local partners I trust and always get info from legit sources. So yeah, viral fake stories can totally turn Cameroon’s business scene upside down if you don’t stay sharp.
