Southern Nigeria Revenue From 1900 To 1913 by Asuokaa: 11:44am On May 23, 2018 |
I was going through a post earlier from a thread, and clicked on a link that redirected me to this post on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Nigeria_Protectorate Revenue and expenditure in £s[21] Year Revenue Expenditure Surplus/Deficit 1900 535,902 424,257 +111,645 1901 606,431 564,818 +41,613 1902 801,737 619,687 +182,050 1903 760,230 757,953 +2,277 1904 888,136 863,917 +24,219 1905 951,748 998,564 -46,816 1906 1,088,717 1,056,290 +32,427 1907 1,459,554 1,217,336 +242,218 1908 1,387,975 1,357,763 +30,212 1909 1,361,891 1,648,648 -286,793 1910 1,933,235 1,592,282 +340,953 1911 1,956,176 1,717,259 +238,917 1912 2,235,412 2,110,498 +124,914 1913 2,668,198 2,096,311 +571,887 Demography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Nigeria_Protectorate This proves southern nigeria was always a success story on its own from the beginning and see what i saw on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Nigeria_Protectorate [b]One defining characteristic of administration in Northern Nigeria Protectorate was the inclusion of chiefs and emirs as "native authorities" fitting into British administration.[4] Taxation proved very difficult in the protectorate for the first years of British rule. Lugard's attempts to institute poll taxes were foiled by the emirates, the need to introduce coin controversy, and attempts to tax trade were opposed by powerful merchants.[4] This created a substantial deficit in the budget of the Protectorate and public works projects had to be paid by grants from the British Empire. As a result, the British often had significant shortages of British personnel before 1907. These pragmatic concerns resulted in incorporation of the traditional authorities within the British structure.[4] These same financial and administrative challenges resulted in discussions led by Lugard for the unification of the Lagos Colony, the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, and Northern Nigeria. The disparities between the protectorates was to be corrected by creating a central administration in Lagos, with custom revenues from the south paying for the projects in the north.[4] The unified Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria began in 1914 and had two lieutenant governors with one responsible for the area of the southern province and another responsible for the northern province. The administration in the north remained largely separate and included and deepened the use of native authorities. These divisions have been found to persist in many respects to this day[/b] what are your opinions on this |
