APCHaram:it was from the same document you posted, it was said that due to cocoa price slump,many farmers refused to sell their produces during the period of documentation. Is the south south region the only region that produces palm oil. I challenge you to post pictures of any map where some part of western region doesn't cultivate oil palm. If not use your brain and stop quoting me. 12 Likes 1 Share |

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 35 Likes |

APCHaram: LoL, we all have our different takeaways, that was mine, others will give theirs, you can air yours too. If you are expecting me to dance along with your train of thought and form an informed opinion in support of your take 'cause of a 1 year inadequate report in over 50 years before crude became major, it won't happen -- you could as well provide same data from 1914 to 1970 to drive your point home, if it checks; we learn. Cocoa's dominance as the country's major Forex earner didn't happen until the 40s till the early 70s.

aribisala0: 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! And finally cocoa was also farmed in present day Delta state (my state ), Akwa Ibom, Rivers and also Calabar. So if we go by your own logic then Niger Delta made half of that paltry 5yr average earnings of €85,000. You people should stop giving Yorubas a bad name with your jealousy, envy and outright lies. 37 Likes 5 Shares |

APCHaram: 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. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Nigeria 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. 21 Likes 1 Share

VulgarVulvas: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 19 Likes |

APCHaram: 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 22 Likes |

VulgarVulvas: The figures are in the report, shouting will not change them in 1898 the total export of palm oil and palm kernel was £460000 from the Colony of Lagos. That is written in black and white it is not a matter for debate Cocoa was a new thing in 1914. Clearly you lack knowledge. Cocoa as a plant is not indigenous to AFrica so by 1914 it was just taking off. By Independence it was a different story 17 Likes |
