OMITTED TRUTH/DEBUNKING Lies...Nigeria States And What They Produce by ikechu1278: 5:45am On Aug 13, 2015 |
I saw a thread titled, I believe, Nigeria states and what it produces. Considering a year ago I actually did a research paper on this exact topic, it intrigued me therefore I opened the thread and upon reading the thread, I noticed some states intentionally ommited, some states intentionally included and given higher percentage than it should and a cash crop (Round wood) that is no longer exported from Nigeria anymore due to the 1967 ban placed on it, intentionally included and what really caught my interest was the Gold production. Where I do know the states with gold in Nigeria are Abuja, Abia, Ebonyi, Edo, Kebbi, Kwara, Niger, Oyo, Sokoto and Zafara but according to the thread I spoke of somehow, someway Osun and Oyo are the gold producers of Nigeria with a minority of North sprinkled in. That peeked my interest so I decided to redo the research I did a year ago. Round wood is no longer exported from Nigeria since this has been placed on ban since 1976. The round-wood produced in Nigeria is mainly non-coniferous hardwood. There are no authentic series on it since the 1990s’. However, the Central Bank published estimates are reported with FAO’s forecasts for comparison. It must be noted that round-wood statistics includes industrial round wood, poles and fuelwood.http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/x6762e/X6762E04.htm The Dominant cash crops in Nigeria It's breakdown of some of them In terms of production Rice: North Central produces the highest, followed by North East, North West, South East, South West and South South producing the least Maize: North East produces the highest, followed by North Central, North West, South West, South South and South East producing the least Sorghum: North West produces the highest, followed by North East, North Central, South West and South and South East not producing any Yam: North Central produces the highest, followed by South South, South East, South West, North East and North West producing the least Cassava: North Central produces the highest, followed by South South, South East, South West, North East and North West producing the same amount CASSAVA Cassava production 1.3.1 Cassava Area under cassava cultivation white indicates less than 50 thousand hectares yellow indicates 50-100 thousand hectares Blue indicates 101-150 thousand hectares Green indicates 151-200 thousand hectares Red indicates greater than 200 thousand hectares [/quote]Furthermore, the average cassava yields from 1999-2007 shows that only Kogi, Ekiti, Ondo and Abia States (the “green” states) have exceeded 15 tons per hectare. Ondo State had the highest average yield of 18.5 metric tons per hectare is this is better than the averages (1999-2007) of the World (11.1 metric tons/ha), Africa (9.3 metric tons/ha), Americas (12.6 metric tons/ha), Asia (16.1 metric tons/ha), and Oceania (11.2 metric tons/ha). [/quote] YAM Yam production Yam is grown in many states of the Federation. In the past nine year, however, only Niger State (the Areas under Yam Cultivation Red indicates over 200 thousand hectares of land, on the average, to yam production Green indicates between 151-200 thousand hectares of land, on the average to yam cultivation Yellow indicates 50-100 thousand hectares of land under yam cultivation Blue indicates average between 101-150 thousand hectares of yam land White indicates less than 50 thousand hectares of yam land When compared with other world regional yield averages (1999-2007), Abia State’s yam average yield SORGHUM sorghum production Sorghum is mostly produced in the Northeast, Northwest and North central regions of Nigeria.

The North central zones produce palm fruits only incidentally. The 9 states situated in the Niger Delta (Figure 4) account for 57% of the national production (PIND, 2011).http://www.fao.org/3/a-at585e.pdf Cocoyam, Sweet Potatoes, Millet, Sorghum, etc production in the 1990s http://www.eseap.cipotato.org/MF-ESEAP/Fl-Library/SPinNigeria.pdf China, for example, dominates sweet potato production accounting for more than 90% of global production, [b]whereas Nigeria is the major producer of yams. Nigeria (No. 3) and is also among the top five cassava growing countries which includes Brazil (No. 1), Thailand (No. 2), Zaire (No. 4) and Indonesia (No. 5).http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/tac/x5791e/x5791e0q.htm |

This looks more factual. I hope in the near future we will be able to list states according to how much they actually make from the resources they have. Right now, everyone seems to be beggars who go to ask rock to beg for alms. Begging should be banned in Aso rock. 20 Likes |

A little of history I read while doing this research. something that caught my interest and I feel needed to be shown (sidenote: yes it is another debunking myth) The principal mineral occurrences discovered by the survey teams included lignite deposits at Asaba, lead-zinc ores at several locations, tin and columbite in the south-east, monazite, limestone and lead-zinc ores at Abakaliki district. In other words it was agriculture, Coal, Tin, Columbite and Gold was what sustained the country prior to the discovery of Oil meaning North, south south and south east were the regions that sustained the country before everything fell on south south's shoulder http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/sectorstat/sectors/Minning%20and%20Quarrying%20%28Solid%20Minerals%29 I don't know about anyone else but I found that intriguing. 11 Likes |

Immediately after independence Nigeria was practicing regional government with each region sustaining itself. History and physical evidence show that way back in the 60's the estern region was not ,making enough money to implement a simple programme as simple as free education for its cicitzen. This is the major reason majority of educated igbos were educated in Ibadan in south west Nigeria. Name them, they mostly schooled in Ibadan. This is PAT UTOMI a renouned Igbo economist has to say recently following an article by Charles soludo on the APC social programmes included on the manifesto: Here in Nigeria, shortly after self government, in the 1950’s, Nnamdi Azikiwe as Premier of Eastern Region was anxious to match the free education policy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Palm Produce did not fetch as much as Cocoa in the Market. The civil servants led by the new Permanent Secretary in Finance, Chief Jerome Udoji thought it could not be done because of limitations of money. Zik insisted and accused Udoji, in Parliament, of trying to sabotage his government. After 40 percent of the Eastern Nigeria budget of 1957 had gone to education and was still inadequate, the Ugoji team suggested the introduction of fees for Primary 1 and Primary 5. But leadership kicked in. A philosophy called “Ibu anyi danda” raised a formula that created a partnership between government, the communities and missionaries that enabled the East leapfrog the gap in education between the East and West. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I want you to correct the statement above on existence of Gold in Osogbo, Osun State. There is gold in Osogbo which is mined illegally as we speak notwithstanding the arrangement made by Gov. Aregbesola with Australian company in June, 2014 which is yet to move to site. OSOGBO—All is now set for the mining of the first gold in Ilesha, in the State of Osun as the Governor Rauf Aregbesola, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with an Australian mining firm, Andalusian Mining Industry. 3 Likes |
