The cocoa output for that year was much higher than what is written due to the fact that huge quantities hadn't been exported yet

Lol. This is weak.

How many tons where left unexported ?

Yeye

APCHaram:


Sorry no vex. I will change the title to Eastern Nigeria.

trapQ:
Receive sense. Nobody said so but the quantity of palm oil produced in the South South far exceeds that of other regions combined.

Even your map betrays you. Maybe you dont know map reading. Let me school you. The areas marked green are oil palm producing areas and in those areas you can clearly see that delta and Benin has more palm trees meaning they are the largest produces of oil palm.

APCHaram:


That is not the reason I made this thread.

I just wanted to highlight that over 100yrs ago the Niger Delta has been feeding you.

You are like a kid with a new toy. Those with half education are worse than those with no education. Colonial reports were produced annually from the 1890s and have been debated severally on Nairaland
https://www.nairaland.com/2306559/non-indigenes-lagos-must-respect-hosts/12

Palm oil was produced across the entire south not just the delta
in the 1890s the average export from Lagos Colony and the SW was about £900000

So you are just waking up to colonial reports? Good Morning!! but we have debated them several times on Nairaland you are the one that needs to catch up

You have not told us anything new

Are Imo and Abia not part of Nigerdelta.?

This shows you where Laagos was in the 1890s

There was a telephone link to England
There were street lights
There was a train

This was before 1914 amalgamation

Where was the Delta then ?

What did they have ?


This shows you that Lagos developed well before the so called OYEL money


These reports are all online


I think you will regret starting this

InyinyaAgbaOku:


SW contributed only a small quantity of palm oil.

This is a report for "southern Nigeria" 1899-

"Southern Nigeria" before amalgamation was the old Eastern Region and Colony of Lagos was the old Western Region.

Go to page 8 of the link and see how much Palm oil the Eastern Region was selling

Stop deceiving yourselves

APCHaram:
F

The British colonial govt spent most of what was not repatriated back to Britian to fund the railway project and seaports in the SW and northern region.

Try another lie.

VulgarVulvas:


Mr. Man stop spewing trash.

Why is the SW celebrating cocoa instead of oil palm?

I have looked into the Report of 1911 (check page 16) and you will see an average earnings for the past 5yrs up starting from 1907 to 1911 and Nigeria earned an average of just €85,000 from cocoa. See it for yourself.


So how come You made €900,000 from palm export and we only hear you guys beating your flat chest about cocoa?

Stop your lies Abeg !

Can you point to Palm Oil house in Ibadan ?

You can lie for satan I swear!

APCHaram:
The famous Groundnuts generated a total of 154,000 pounds.

Cocoa the same.

The only commodity that neared palm oil from the Niger Delta was Tin mining in Jos which wasn't even up to half of that realised from palm oil.

Can you people now shutup on that silly lie that your cocoa and groundnuts were used to develop the oil industry!

Hagm0nd:
The cocoa output for that year was much higher than what is written due to the fact that huge quantities hadn't been exported yet

Adminisher:


Actually no Nigerian money initially went to develop the oil industry. It was after some mega-sized discoveries that the Joint Ventures started and Nigeria started contributing.

As for someone saying palm oil was feeding Nigeria in 1914. That is wrong please. You were feeding the UK and Royal Niger Company then after which then you started feedng yourselves in the Eastern/ Western region depending on what side of the Niger you were.
Mid West palm oil and rubber money was Western Region money. Rivers and Calabar was Eastern region.
Please stop all the rubbish about Niger Delta feeding anybody. There was very little crash crop cultivation in the real swamps of Niger Delta anyway. They were only logistics providers for large boats and canoeS to transport produce to Brass, Opobo and maybe Bonny

afroniger:


Bro calm down. I asked you to educate me, but instead you are acting like a militant, all belligerent and stuff. Take a chill pill man. You are yet to provide any evidence to prove the assertion you made above, because according to available records, the first railway in Nigeria was opened in 1898 between Lagos and Abeokuta, a distance of 96km (more than a decade before the 1914 figures you presented). As a matter of fact the British government began construction of a railway from Lagos Colony to Ibadan in March 1896. The Lagos Government Railway began operations in March 1901 and was extended to Minna in 1911, where it met the Baro–Kano Railway that was built by the government of Northern Nigeria between 1907 and 1911. The two lines were amalgamated in 1912 into the Government Department of Railways, the predecessor to the Nigerian Railway Corporation. All this happened before the 1914 Amalgamation, when the Northern and Southern Protectorates were separate entities (or de facto countries, if you will). Even the Southern Colony wasn't merged with the Lagos Colony until 1906. Yet, Railways had already been built to Link Lagos with the hinterland of the wider region she falls under.

As for the Lagos ports, work began on its expansion way before amalgamation, in 1908 to be precise and ended in 1912 (prior to the amalgamation), excerpted from "Artificial Structures and Shorelines" and attached below.

It's like you are allowing Sanusi's statement to cause you to arouse hatred for other Nigerians in you, be careful bros. Hate is like cancer.

A great variety of taxes (including death duties, etc) had become the instrument of spoliation, and the Mohammedan law and impartial in their judgments, had also to a large extent become debased and the servile instrument of a despotic Executive

VulgarVulvas:


[size=18pt]Mr. man what I want to know is that if Western Region contributed to half of Palm Oil proceeds as your claim which amounted to about €900,000 for the year 1914 but only a paltry €150k from cocoa how come your region never celebrated Palm above cocoa?

Why is there cocoa house in Ibadan and not palm kernel house ?[/size]


I await your lies in response to my question.

[s]You are also illiterate I never said palm oil export was 900000. That was the total export. I am writing this not because of you clearly you hive no manners. This is for the others who will come on to this thread

looking at what was written in 1914 it just said "Palm oil" but palm oil exports include palm kernel and the Colony of Lagos Exported £400000 and £460000 in 1897 and 1898 . The 1914 report you showed did not mention palm kernels at all.
Still what was the total value of exports from the eastern region in the comparable period[/s]

InyinyaAgbaOku:


SW contributed only a small quantity of palm oil.
