Kylian Mbappe, the talented forward for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has been causing quite a stir during his tour in Cameroon. Accompanied by heavy security detail, including an armored tank, Mbappe made his way to his father Wilfried Mbappé's home village, Djebale, which is located on an island in Cameroon. The reception he received was nothing short of presidential, with a convoy and military bodyguards ensuring his safety throughout the journey. The streets were adorned with banners and flags, reflecting the immense excitement and pride felt by the people of Cameroon for this young football prodigy. As Mbappe's motorcade traversed the streets, crowds eagerly gathered, cheering and chanting his name, eager for a glimpse of their idol.
However, Mbappe's tour, accompanied by a convoy of presidential-style vehicles and a contingent of military bodyguards, has sparked outrage on social media. Critics argue that such elaborate security measures are excessive and inappropriate for a football player, comparing Mbappe's treatment to that of a head of state. This sentiment has fueled a debate about the perceptions and priorities surrounding successful individuals in Africa.

BiAdewale responded by highlighting the importance of recognizing and celebrating successful individuals, writing, "If you don’t clap for successful people, when it's your turn, no one will clap for you. He may not be the president of Cameroon, but he has more fame than the president of all African countries combined. Stop the envy."
Olahitan0 questioned the behavior of Africans, saying, "Why will Africans always behave like Africans? When this guy went to visit Jay Z, he was treated like an ordinary person. Even within his football team, there was no extra additional treatment. God, Africans sha."
donpanacio drew attention to Mbappe's significance, stating, "Kylian Mbappe is worth more than the President of Cameroon! No disrespect!!! They would rather kidnap him than kidnapping the president! He needs such protection!"
Despite the differing opinions, the attention surrounding Mbappe's visit to Cameroon continues to escalate, with videos and discussions circulating on social media platforms.
