Largest cities in the country: Doauala, Yaounde , Bamenda, Bafoussam , Garoua
Population of largest city: 1,906,962
Estimated size of each of the next four largest cities: 953481, 635654 , 476740 , 381392
Actual populations of 2nd, 3rd ,4th, 5th largest cities :1817524 ,269530 , 239287, 235996,
I feel that the rank size size rule does not apply because Doauala and Yaounde seem like primate cities due to their disproportionately larger populations, and the others seem fairly lower than Doauala and Yaounde.
