Young footballers dreams dashed by fraudsters in Cameroon | Unreported World 

This has to be a hard report in some areas with wheelchair accessibility - mad respect to the reporter.

I love this reporter, he's so empathetic to others.

Must be a very difficult situation for the journalist. To some degree you could feel he wanted to help stop Patrick/Patrick's mother losing money to a fraudster, but from another perspective he probably realised he (as a journalist) cannot get too involved and is primarily there to report on the issue, not fix the issue. Huge respect to this journalist and all journalists who do such work. It mustn't be easy.

Sylvester need to be arrested and jailed.

Sylvester's probably kicking himself right now for getting in front of that camera. Brother got exposed! 😂

“I packed my bag a long time ago” Those words 🤦🏾‍♂️

As someone who played professional basketball in Europe/Scandinavia, YOU WILL NEVER PAY A AGENT FIRST AND THE CLUB WILL ALWAYS PAY THE AGENT!

Sylvester is a big liar......

Sylvester is evil. I am gutted for Patrick and his mother who trusted Sylvester. I smiled when the reporter was talking about that player who had been in the World Cup for Cameron v England in 1990. I am not into football but I put a bet on at the bookies for that match for Cameroon to beat England at 26-1. I was in a bar where my friend was behind the bar. All through the match the others were shouting “ENGEERLAAAND,” whilst I was the only one on a table shouting “CAMEROON”.... I expected to get beaten up if Cameroon won, and they almost did had it not been for penalties. The following World Cup, I bought a huge proper Cameroon flag and hung it from my house against a sea of England flags up and down my street. It’s become the thing now, everyone knows about my love for Cameroon 🇨🇲 , even tho I don’t know the team or anything about them or football itself, it’s just nice to see a different flag to the Red Cross on white 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I love this reporter! Keeps it professional but always has an air of empathy.

Its really a shame how this young boys a crooked ,they are so talented yet their dreams are cut short by the like of Sylvester but just like the parents said God will deal with them

In Ghana one cannot send a player to play overseas without getting through the football association for his ITC and player status card unless he was sold through an academy . But with Cameroon they don’t even have an existing FA .. they have problems of their own..

They're are really screwing these people. Smashing dreams and stealing lots of money. They will be punished, if not in this life then after.

Love the reporter/presenter

Absolutely love this Correspondent! he's the best of the best. looking forward to watching his reports and docs for many years! here's to your longevity sir!

10 dislikes are corrupt agents

Makes you wish there was a way to help these kids families. Living in the US, owning my home, have food and water, AC, all these luxuries. I’m not even lower middle class, and I live like a rich man would in those poor countries. I am grateful for what I have, especially when I see these hard working ppl. How can those scammers sleep?

omg sylvestre getting E X P O S E D

Does Sylvester look like an agent?

Sylvestre, people will find you.

I wish these documentaries we're long but Great Job.

my fav reporter :D

I wish Patrick's dream came true. He has the potential and style of becoming professional footballer.

Its a shame those young men are being treated like that. I can see the look of disappointment on their faces, their dreams are crushed while their family's are financially taken advantage of. Much respect to the reporter who reported this. In a wheelchair but still living life to the fullest. CONGRATS!!

thanks for bringing this to light, youve helped more people than you know

Awesome presentation Ade keep exposing them

Thank you so much dear team for doing this documentary. It really exposes some Cameroonians. I feel very sorowful for these poor boys spending their hard earned money for a deceitful trip that will never happen.

This Literally happened to my Uncle in Nigeria, he paid for the flight and many other expenses and left him stranded in Egypt... This is a real thing

this is the best reporter of these documentaries. He doesn't patronize people with that annoying godly perspective of many other reporters.. He looks like a friend or family, not a missionary.

After contacting the agent in Georgia, was there anything that could be done for Patrick? Was he told the situation? I would hate to think that he was left hoping, when the truth was so dark.

Maaan I luv this correspondent good job.. amazing documentary

I love to watch your documentaries

Beautiful dream ! Never give up brother 🙏❤️

I hope justice is done for these people. Left a like. God bless.

every Africa nations have similarly stories. Corruption is a big problem in Africa, our leaders are nothing but disgrace

14:32 that kiss,if Patrick's dad was available he would've disowned her😂😂

thumbs up for the reporter, I deeply respect him!

Great documentary from a great reporter.

This is what we suffer. Great video. Thank you

I was a victim in Sierra Leone a scout came from France 🇫🇷..

I absolutely love this channel...wow....(side not Cameroon is central africa)... keep up the amazing work you have a new subscriber

I think I would have to help God expedite that Karma if these people took $10,000 dollars from my Mom and we were already poor as dirt

it is sad to see what has happened to these young people. i hope that the situation settles and these people will be able to meet their goals.

We Africans we are killed by our own people's brothers an sisters the worse of all our govt thanks for sharing.💗 u all 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲

Good job y brother!! I love it!

Have a great future for the footballers of cameroon I think this guys are more dedicated towards football your dedication will leads to your success God bless you my brothers❤❤🙌🙌

I laughed so hard when the agent appears and he was like:: Sylvester!!!! There you are take me down take me down . OMG!!! Am rolling.

The heavy kisses though 😂😂😂😂😂

This is well documented. keep it up and open our eyes

This is why I am pursuing a career in sports management!

i don't to make friends with people whose name is sylvester.

Almost teared about that little gifted player patrick. Sylvester beeds to be jailed..... I love the reporter , good presentation 👍🏼

Great documentary and presenter is best

A great piece of reporting. How it takes a non cameroonian to expose the ills of what is happening within the cameroonian football industry.

20:50 that flip tho!

I adore this narrator and Seyi as well.

Great stuff! Not sure what these 10 air heads saw to dislike the video.

I love the reporter .and the programme.

Abdul gigantic respect !!!!and his family !!!🙏🏼🤝

I love this reporter he is very talented Keeping doing it brother

Good job bro.

Why don't European teams sent scouts to Cameroon if the player seriously are good?

That really is terrible. People destroying young people’s dreams for their own greed. I wouldn’t mind some of these young talents to play in Liga MX (the Mexican football league). I’ve always wanted my league to grow and become somewhat international. As long as the kid has talent he is more than welcomed. Idk just a random idea.

Cameroon is not one of the poorest countries in the world. It is very corrupt, but not one of the poorest. Get your facts straight.

These player should ask themselves when American football teams go scouting for talent in American Samoa or baseball teams go to the Dominican Republic looking for baseball players do they have to put up money? The answer is no. The teams are making lots of money. If they need talent they will pay to bring the player over.

Oooh! Sylvester wouldn’t last a minute in some parts of the world with his dodgy dealings. He seems like a scuzzy bloke.

Heartbreaking a feel for them

Smh I wish big French teams like PSG, Lyon, Marseille could just accept these Cameroon players. Cameroon speaks French, they're talented, and they have a dream. and btw Sylvester is a fraud and his hairline goes back to 300 BC

"ah sylvester ,someone get me down" he'd be a great movie villain lol

Congratulations, great work! That Sylvestre is a croock, he took the monney and never even contacted the club, any embassy, and agency, he just wanted to desapear and take the monney, but you screwed his plan, it was beautiful.

Ade Adepitan. 😍😍😍😍😍

My Favorite Reporter

I am so gutted!!!! I hope that Sylveste got arrested and the Cameroons FA cleaned up and has trained the boys on proper travel procedures to green pastures

Mad respect ✊🏽 for u reporting man, that’s my formal country LR du Cameroun, filled with wonderful armed robbers dressed in suits. From the President to the new born babies . Bfr i continue, Sylvester should be arrested and jailed for life, how does an agent with over 35 signees live in that hut , look at his physical looks , thief all over his face. This happens every minute , my brother and I went through the same thing and we finally had to rally with my friends and get that thief who came to deceive us . Saw us from top cup and lots of them came after us saying we will travel out before the week ends cus we were too good at that tender age ,me 11 and my bro 18 then. Little did we know this particular one was a scammer , collected hundreds of thousands from my family and was to come for more after living us stranded somewhere , made us travel to Yaoundé to play inside dust like in this video when I even had a better place in Bemenda to train . My mom finally came and got us back when we told her it was a scam and that guy left us in one man’s house and her wife was becoming so hard on us , this poor woman (my mom)gave all her savings to this idiot . Raised by the streets,,Young , wild and adventurous as we were , we had to get all that money back somehow or life will be hell . we informed our friends and we were all on operation “get him”through town . We only discovered him after two weeks . And my friend Now informed us all, next day my bro and I with 8 friends who stood by us from birth left for this dude , we arrived and knocked,wen he came out and saw us , he was shocked and my bigger friend just started fighting him, we all joined and beat him so bad his hand got broken in the process ,jungle justice. and his neighbors confirmed that’s his lifestyle , dude had stacks of money in his room, we carried everything plus his tv and other valuables to make up my mom’s money and uncles who contributed . From that day , my mom said she’s done and will not let us play again , but guys will always be guys we kept hiding and kicking until a real one came and took my bro , did everything for him before the informed my mom he’s traveling to Sweden, she had nothing to say , this was 3 years later,and she didn’t pay a dime , since I was the smaller one , my mom completely stopped me until I travel out here , USA doesn’t really push soccer that much , played with couple of junior clubs but don’t get any money , so I chose my school first and soccer is for fun now . I’m still young , if I see an opening I’ll still go cus I still got it . Let’s fight this robbers who maltreat poor families back home . I have big plans for this pple when I make it, I’ll fish a lot of them out like Sylvester cus I was a victim too. #NO TO FOOTBALL SCAM. This is the only thing that kept us off the streets and away from trouble 😭😭 why deceive us and our poor families

This is what actually happens in South Africa

the question is, why is it the player that has to come up with the cash? Shouldn't the agent front the costs, and get his money back once a contract is signed? This is the core of the problem- just like to Nigerian prince scam, you shouldn't have to pay if the club want you for a trail- they will front the transportation and hotel costs.

He had already said bye to everybody..so sad. everyone in his village don't ask him why he never left.

I love this reporter

Awesome Documentary. Too many thugs out there killing dreams and talents.

I think we all wish the best to the young African men who want to improve their lot in life. But having traveled to West Africa numerous time, I have yet to encounter plans that worked out the way they are understood in the West. In other words, when in Africa, don't count on anything. So I find it sad to see young African men thinking, that because the opportunity is in Europe, then it will all work out well.

May God bless this empathic reporter, who has placed upon himself the task of unvailing the unspeakable expiotation going on in Africa. They are like that, simply destroying young lives and talents. well done brother and God bless you with longlife and a good woman to stand beside you if that is missing.

My favourite reporter✌👍👍

You are a cool reporter

Cannot find Patrick via google search. Would love a follow-up on this story.

That is the sad truth. You just saw the tip of the iceberg. You did just that of Yaounde. if you get to Douala and the anglophone regions, pff! FIFA needs to do something.

I love the reporter! Wish I could have seen his name and follow his other packages. Poor Patrick and his lovely mum!

This is so sad there government should do something about this 🤔🤔

This story was really sad to watch. But, I do like the way the story was presented!!

From kenya... Corruption in Africa will be the end of us all...I know Cameroon has a football federation,so what do they job entail?

amazing reporter!! very professonal

Knew it! Welcome to my country.

Nice video

Point of correction! Cameroon is in the heart of Africa not West Africa.

Sylvester I am sick and nervous huh 🤔🤣🤣🤣

No african team reached final stage of Russia WC...except France lol

Unreported world does incredible Job.
