Aevamo’s reading
Loi n° 97/012 du 10 janvier 1997 (modifiée et complétée par loi n° 2022/015) creates the obligation: Article 10(1)(a) requires every temporary visitor to present a passport carrying a Cameroonian entry visa obtained abroad, and Article 5(1) caps temporary stays at three months; Article 3 reserves ratified conventions (the CEMAC and bilateral free-movement texts). Décret n° 2023/147 (cited in fieldSources) implements the current online e-visa regime; the Presidency's CEMAC dossier and the embassy pages report who is exempt.
The Embassy of Cameroon in Cairo — an official Cameroonian diplomatic mission — states that nationals of Nigeria are exempt from the visa requirement to enter Cameroon, so a Nigerian ordinary-passport holder needs no advance authorisation.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
