The title (French Cameroons) and the introductory sentence are incorrect. There was no French Cameroons. There was Cameroun which was a French possession. No part of the former French possession of Cameroun became part of Nigeria. The complete passage gets it right, but conflicts with the title and the introductory sentence.

The current article at Cameroun, while filled with numerous errors, covers the same material as this page.
Merge, then replace Cameroun namespace with a redirect to Cameroon, a modern French-speaking nation whose endonym is Cameroun.
NB: I'm assuming the formerly common English way to refer to the French colony is "French Cameroons": if that's changed to "French Cameroun" or "French Cameroon", we should merge and then move the page appropriately. — LlywelynII 00:20, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
The competing articles about the same entity are very confusing. Has any decision been made on this front? If not, I might just take a go at merging them myself, even though I have never done that before. In keeping with the standars of other articles about colonial or currently-non-existent territorial entities, it makes sense to have an article about the colony (Cameroun française/French Cameroon) that is distinct from the article about the current nation of Cameroon, particularly since the British and French examples are very distinct.

French Cameroons → ? – Proposed titles: French Cameroon or French Cameroon (colony). When France annexed the German Kamerun, they did not separated it in two colonies. French Cameroon was rarely, at most, referred as "French Cameroons" in the English language and I don't know why it is still there when there is literally no source backing it up. The Encyclopedia Britannica uses the singular form [1], the BBC uses "French Cameroon" [2], the US department of State uses "French Cameroon. [3] Those who defend "French Cameroons" has failed to provide any authoritative source that pluralize the French or back up this title hence this title is incorrect and must be renamed..
