[edit] Capital of Northern Cameroons

Are we sure that Bamenda was the capital of the Northern Cameroons? Bamenda is part of the modern nation of Cameroon and is located within the territory claimed as Southern Cameroons in the map used in the article. The Northern Cameroons opted to join with Nigeria in 1961 rather than with Cameroun. — Brian (talk) 06:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This was indeed an error. I have corrected it. — Brian (talk) 06:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some queries about the recent edit

I have removed a couple of statements to here because I think they require clarification:

1. "[administered through the British Resident] which was appointed since 1916 at the headquarters in Buea." How does that fit with the statement above that "Kamerun was formally divided on 28 June 1919 [between the British and] the French, who had previously administered the whole occupied territory?
2. "It had a population of 817,616 in 1938." What had – The British Cameroons or the British Southern Cameroons?
