you are: the Guinean countries after 1889

Studying of Nigeria by tritely fast steps since time of joining of the country to England in 1899 and arrivals here in 1900 of the Supreme commissioner of Northern Nigeria of F.Lugarda. The mixed English-French commission on demarcation of border around Niger and lake Chad (1902-1903) fixed northern border on which separate sites year or two geodetic shooting earlier has been made. Later captain Tilo has done very valuable work around lake Chad, in particular in territory to the east from it. In 1904 Lapfan has risen across Benue and after a channel, connecting it with the river Shari, having proved to that, that in a certain season it is possible to reach lake Chad a waterway from the ocean. The subsequent researches have proved, however, negligibility of practical conclusions from this opening.

The Same year (1904) is noted by expedition Boyd-Alexander through all Africa, from Niger to Nile. It has done all way water, and on a resock of boats through watersheds has left only fourteen days. Its shootings have given a new material across Northern Nigeria and lake Chad area, and he has found out, that the lake Chad does not represent one continuous water mirror and consists actually of two large lakes connected among themselves by a chain of very small lakes. To, to misfortune, it is a lot of Europeans from its group was lost, therefore film-making works of the second period of its travel have been done less carefully; however, its way from lake Chad across Shari, Uelle, It, the Bahr-ale-dzhebelju and to Nile did not represent a big field for research.
