OmoAjowa7:

Provide EVIDENCE!!!!

I'll wait

Simple answers:

1) If you have travelled out of your current enclave before, the first question is self-explanatory unless you want to imply people or from the East or colonial masters were not travelling or doing business pre-NigerBridge construction. But that is your choice to believe.

2) The same way the old lie was sold to us about the groundnut pyramids and cocoa building oil installations when regionalism was in place as you rightly observed. It depends on which side of the lie pendulum [/i]you reside.

3) This question seem to suggest you don't know what the current clamour for restructuring is all about because that is the [i]whole idea : Not feeding the country

Hope some sort of credence is achieved with the answers offered

zheroes:
@ op, APCharam or whatever your name is: kindly tell me the reason your brought up this thread?? Is it to prove that one region feeds the entire nation? If it is then I have a message for you;



If you are married and you the man gets a job that pays you 200million annually, do you come home to brag to your wife that you re earning so much and that YOUR family is poor without you? Same applies to the woman. So I don't understand all this rant about region. When nigerian won bronze in the just concluded olympics may be kelechi iheanacho should have said the money from the japanese mogul should come to him alone since he scored the goal.

The earlier every region recognises that we are alll irrespective of tribe married and remain a family called NIGERIA, the better for us.

We will remain one.

BarryX:
So in other words, there is a log of wood in your eyes but you want to remove a speck in another's.

And you hold your leaders accountable with curses upon curses Really that's the most advanced way of accountability?

Niger Delta need to learn from you guys


I give up

Noblecx:

Noble is an adjective so spare me this empty critics. I can choose any adjective to qualify my nouns and that's not your business or you gonna ask me for links tomorrow when I choose to call it dignity prize? Rubbish

Meanwhile, I better end the conversion here BC I don't have time for lazy asses if you can't do a Research for yourself so be it and is none of my business...

If you like continue living in the past( that the highest professors in Nigeria is from your village in ekiti) while the present keeps running away from your reach...
The news is already at the mainstream media if you need for evidence about it follow the lead I gave you.

Goodbye.

Noblecx:


Cool. If that will make you crawl back to the brown roof cave in ibadan where you raised your head from.

Saw this pdf "Annual Report 1914, Nigeria " (see link above) which showed gross revenue between the north and southern regions after one year of almagation.

Go to page 7 and see for yourself how Nigeria's greatest revenue earner at over €1million pounds ( at least 10 times higher than any commodity export even cocoa) is proof that Niger Delta and eastern Nigeria has been feeding Nigeria since almagation.

Ugosample:
So what is the point of this thread?
1914 was just one year, and according to Regionalism, you keep 50% to yourself.

Which country in this world does all regions generate the same level id revenue?
So you hear them say that they are feeding the country?

The mentality of the black man is indeed bleeped up

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

BarryX:
I didn't modify your comment.

You went bonkers about "inhabitants going extinct" in some states. That seems to infer your state have "inhabitants booming with prosperity" of some sort.
Unfortunately, you admitted to having some semblance of under development.

If you look at critically, you are not in any way better off unless you want to hold on to the hypocritic mindset of being Nigerian.

My take is simple, Living in Makoko in Lagos does not make you any different from somebody living in a slum in Bayelsa.

Under-development cut across board, some just glorify theirs

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

OmoAjowa7:
As for the Nsukabagger/riverine zorros, Now that you've shown us how y'all fed the whole country in 1914, what
do you want us to do about it.

You want some Ben & Jerry's ?

And what do you have to show for it today?

That's a million dollar question

aribisala0:
There is a fundamental difference between palm oil and crude oil.
The palm oil belongs to the farmer not the government. So the proceeds of the sale of the palm oil goes to the farmer.The question of feeding anyone therefore does not arise
There was a company called the Royal Niger Company ,a British concern that made most of the money from palm oil but government cannot take peoples palm oil to sell and pocket the proceeds in the same way as they do crude oil

Their influx into other states is crazy! Them 'DAYVAYLOPAS'

musicwriter:
Well, I'm not interested in the ethnic angle, I just want to add some information that've been plucked off the history books, because they don't want you to know.

Colonialism was about resource control and exploitation, making it possible for the colonialists (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal) e.t.c to get food and raw materials from their colonies for FREE. Our ancestors working as slaves grew everything Europeans wanted against our will. Example; when the texile industry was booming in Europe, all parts of Africa were forced to start growing cotton, because they needed more cotton for their cloth factories. This caused widespread famine, and there was starvation across Africa. Our ancestors were starving to death because they couldn't grow maize, yam, cassava, rice anymore. Instead we were forced to planting cotton, even though we didn't need it ourselves.

That's by the way................

It was only in the late 1800 century as calls for abolition of slavery intensified that they began paying ''peanuts'' for the raw materials. Therefore, if Lord Lugard reported £1 million for palm oil, be informed the real worth would be any where between £5 million- £10 million.

And if Lugard told you £100,000 for cocoa or groundnut, be informed the real value would be any where between £500,000 - £1 million. Slavery meant absolute possession. Colonization meant exploitation.

Prices were set by Europeans, so our ancestors had no say how much we wanted to sell our palm oil, cocoa, groundnut, tin, e.t.c. They were no bargaining or haggling as you would expect in a normal market setting today. They just weigh your stuff and pay how much they feel comfortable with.

That's how Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, got rich. And that's why we got poor.

I have writen songs around all these. Pray I get a record label and I'll use music to open up the minds of Africans.

Note:
Fortunately, this extreme greed by Europeans was a major contributory reason our ancestors fought for their freedom/independence.

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!

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.

CandyDiamond:
SS/SE feeding the parasitic SW/North since the days of John the Babtist, no wonder they glue their hand and leg with super glue on one Nigeria like ant liking sugar.

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!

Michel2013:

<sub>[b]

Truth is like pregnancy which can never be hidden forever especially at this internet age.
nigeria govt has tried their fruitless efforts to intimidate history but no amount of denial can expunge facts of nigeria history.it was due to huge importance of palm oil that old eastern region was initiately called oil river protectorate but later merged with up west as southern protectorate for purpose of administration. nigeria has debased the significant role of old eastern region in history of nigeria development since after the civil war that is why true information is not taught in our schools.they keep boasting how cocoa and groundnut pyramid were the major revenue sources of nigeria then. malaysia saw this huge revenue potential in palm oil that is why they imported our palm seedlings today malaysia is better of for it.

there is another fact in this document,if you look closely at southern map you will also see the Bight of Biafra which nigeria has been in denial. this can tell how nigeria has sacrificed meritocracy to mediocrity as long as it suits her purpose ,which is the bane of nigeria state till today.it is this that explains the emergence of a dullard illiterate president we have today in 21 century. one thing i know is that when we keep teaching our children the distorted history of nigeria we end producing half baked historians.[/b]</sub>

LoveDecay:
The data is inconclusive. Just one year of data cannot be used as a yard stick to judge the contribution of one region over another.

If someone can provide a good timeline, not less than 5 years. It would be great but this does not mean a thing to an educated man.
