On this day February 11, 1961, a Plebiscite was organized by the UN and held in the Trust Territories of the British Cameroons, comprising Northern and Southern Administrative regions. The Northern Region joined Nigeria and the Southern region joined Cameroun. There is enough literature on this event to last several generations.
