Yes there was a Bamenda Province and a Cameroon Province. Cameroon Province was essentially the forest area and covered almost all of present day SW region except for the fact that Widikum that is today in Momo Division of the NW region was under Mamfe Division or today Manyu.

Could those have been same as the Bamenda Province and Cameroon Province respectively?

When you ask a person from the NW who is resident in Yaounde where he comes from he says he is from Bamenda. Do you also know that there once was a Bamenda Division which included Nkambe and Wum. Just as there once was Victoria Division which included Kumba and Mamfe.

Your posting is very brilliant. But you are reducing Northwest to one city - Bamenda. When you say Mr. Biya has visited Bamenda three times in more than 30 years. How many times has he visited Wum, Nkambe. That is the three main divisions in the days of Southern Cameroons. Again, the fault is that of northwest people who have reduced that great region (Province) to one small city, Bamenda. When the Nkambe man calls himself Bamenda man, the Wum man calls himself Bamenda man, that is minimizing the northwest. The Ring Road is not only in Bamenda. The Ring Road in the days of Southern Cameroons meant Bamenda - Nkambe - Wum and back to Bamenda. Are you saying the Wum person should concentrate development only in Bamenda. I am not against that. If that is your choice, who am I to suggest otherwise.

We , people of Bamenda extraction ought to be ashamed of our selves. Let us put our usual "Politics" aside for a few seconds and face our hard realities. Make we put Biya and Ndumu out of this langua bicos since becoming President some THIRTY something years ago, he has visited Bamenda THREE times (when he created the CPDM in 1982, then during the "I Do So Swear, I will build and supervise the Ring Road myself" four years later and eventually 25 years later during the so-called 50th anniversary of reunification). This historical data simply to highlight the fact that Bamenda has never and will never be at the top or bottom of their priorities.
Now, we Bamenda people have been screwed to the point of complacency and have stood by watching as the city slides into abject disgraceful squalor. At what point does an abused housewife say enough is enough? Where are the Political CPDM strange bed fellows, Intellectual and Business elites of Bamenda? I am talking about all those Big Time multi-millionaire Civil Engineering Contractors like (BUNS, TANO, JOE-CONERWATA, Ngwa, Babila etc; Heavy weight Architects like Fobi, Che, Mutah, Bongwa, Awudanga and many more. Are they not as outraged as you and I are at seeing the decrepit state Bamenda has been plunged into? Shall we just sit there like "moumous" and wait for a Government that will never and has no intention to work for its citizens? This is very un-Bamendrous.
In the United States alone out of the 29 to 32,000 Cameroonians (documented and undocumented, with or without US citizenship) about 12 thousand are from Bamenda. That is a fact. If only FIVE Thousand agreed to help their community (as they do on individual uncoordinated basis) by coming together in a pool and devote just two weeks of their "Pay Check" (at least $1000.00 per family) into a Credit Union Account; would it not jump start the process of revitalizing some infrastructural projects in that city? Do the math.That is a whooping 5 million dollars.
