See another #Dokpemumu Dopes chai i like this term "dokpemumu dopes"
The only reason i will not contribute to this thread or list what the north contributes to nigeria is because i see this thread as talks full of noise and fury, signifying nothing. Basically, the whole thread is dokpemumu dopes

Rawani: RUBBISH. MISGUIDED IGNORAMUSES FOLLOWING A MISGUIDED IGNORAMUS LIKE SHEEP BEING LED TO THE SLAUGHTER.

Has anyone asked for the source document for his figures? The official body for statistical information in Nigeria is the NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS, and its 2013 Non-Oil Exports figures shows that -

Nigeria earns N305bn from Non-Oil Export – NBS 2013

Nigeria earned about N305.1billion within the first three months of 2013, figures obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate.
A breakdown of the figures highlighted under “2013 Export First Quarter” in the NBS’ report on ‘Merchandise Trade’, showed that export from natural rubber was N158.38 billion; raw cocoa beans attracted N62.198 billion; Sesame seeds, N20,76 billion; cotton yarn, N16.44 billion; and Leather products, N8.56 billion. Similarly, within the period under review, the export value of flowers and buds stood at N8.19 billion; footwear, N7.07 billion; tanned or crust hides, N5.41 billion; frozen shrimps and prawns, N4.96 billion; ginger, N4.09 billion; sacks and bags, N3.84 billion; cigarettes, N2.75 billion; and aluminum alloys, N2.54 billion.

The exports mentioned above, which are captured under the sub-heading, “2013 Export First Quarter” in the NBS report, totaled about N305 billion. However, the NBS further said, “Analysis on exports by section revealed that mineral products contributed N3,034.2billion or 87.9 percent of total exports during the quarter, followed by plastic, rubber and associated articles with N168.1billionn or 4.9 percent; and prepared foodstuffs, beverages, spirit, vinegar and tobacco with N115.2billion or 3.3 percent.

From the 2013 National Bureau of Statistics Report we can deduce;
North
Sesame seeds - N20.76 billion
Cotton yarn - N16.44 billion
Leather products - N8.56 billion.
Flowers and Buds - N8.19 billion;
Tanned or crust hides - N5.41 billion
Ginger - N4.09 billion
Sacks and Bags - N3.84 billion

N & SW
Cigarettes - N2.75 billion
footwear, N7.07 billion

SW
Natural Rubber - N158.38 billion
Raw Cocoa Beans - N62.198 billion
Frozen shrimps and prawns - N4.96 billion

The North remains the backbone of the Cement Industry in Nigeria (Dangote, Sokoto Cement, Obajana, BUA) and has seen a growth of 95.6% in the span of 8 years, beginning 2005 to 2012 according to the Nigerian Cement Industry Report 2013 and with the rapid growth forecasted for the housing sector, the figures are set to rise.

Numbers do not lie. Dokpesi must be deceitful, filled with bile, ignorant and completely cerebrally incapacitated to utter such a fallacious statement which his co-travellers will swallow hook, line and sinker.

rocgirl: Well, someone just officially gave out a free license to have any one of his radio or tv stations burnt down--pretty soon!

atlwireles:

What numbers do you have here? How much in taxes did you contribute in 2013 or minerals earnings paid into the federal account. That's what this interview talked about.

He was speaking about revenue, which the NBS report also states. The report outlines Non-Oil related revenue, of which Dokpesi stated is 72% of revenue shared. The rest of the revenue shared (28%) comes from Non-oil revenue which includes levies and taxes. The NBS report i presented breaks down this remaining revenue being shared, how can the North be then said to not contribute anything. The BIG question is what does the East produce? The east which Dokpesi cluelessly claimed contributes 8% .

DonXavi: North Contributes Nothing To National Coffers –Dokpesi
What was very clear from the statis­tics available is that 72 percent of rev­enue we share at Federal Account Al­location Committee on monthly basis comes from oil producing states. The South-west comes next to them with almost 20 percent or thereabout. The South-east comes next with about eight percent.

masu: Will it be possible for a state to change regional location?

I desperately want my benue state to get off from this northern regional arrangement

CocoaMerchant:

Bro how u dey?

The BOSSES don ban your moniker?

Rawani:

Some kids ran to the mods o. They couldn't handle the heat the thread was creating, they prefer threads like these full of ignorance and fallacies, providing an opportunity for them to vent their inferiority complex induced anger against the north.

atlwireles:

Are your numbers not from non oil export gross earnings?

JohnSno: They contribute less than what other regions are contributing, I hate to say this but the north is just so underdeveloped and some of their indigenes don't even want to help themselves

Rawani:

[font=garamond]Clearly Non-oil Export Net Earnings, the same injected into the treasury and shared to the several federating units.

atlwireles:

Your attempt to mislead is appalling.

Rawani:

[font=garamond]That is a baseless allegation, devoid of reason or evidence. The fact remains that the North is the hub of Agriculture in Nigeria, which is the second source of National revenue after oil.

Rawani:

atlwireles:

Even according to your export data. Rubber and Cocoa are over N200B of the N305B export earnings, yet you talk about north being the hub of agriculture.

Rawani:

Sometimes you surprise me. Only a fraction of agricultural produce is earmarked for export. Did you see tomatoes or onions in the list? Is it not the North that supplies the entire country with these products? Have you forgotten beef? The North IS the hub of agriculture.

atlwireles:

This discussion is about monies shared monthly, collected as taxes in this country. I posted the tax collection by firs. Agriculture is 21% of the economy, all 36 states are food producers, you don't give away your food to anybody.. You have cows and goats in north, We have pigs and goats here too.

Rawani:

Do you see how you deceive yourself and others? Check the title of the thread. The fact is that the North contributes substantially to the National economy unlike the East which contributes nothing. For the month of May 2013, the North contributed N40 billion to the Federation account, compared to 10 billion from the East. I have figures and statistics that will shake NL and expose the prejudices, lies and deceit of the SE and other parts of the south. Check https://www.nairaland.com/1420699/federation-account-allocation-short-changing for a taste of what to come.

atlwireles:

Absolutely rubbish, post data and links from government sources. I don't need to see unverified propaganda.

iwonbaoko: Does the conribution of the south come from their "education,hardwork and enterprise"? Fact of the matter is there are two things
1. the Government acconts which comes mostly from oil in the south
2. GDP which is mostly agriculture and comes from the North.

The contribution of agriculture is by far greater than oil but it does not accrue to government. Therefore on an individual level the southerners contribute very little and only a tiny number work in the oil industry.

I think the real issue is how are state governments to fund themselves? this is a problem in the north and south and so we should not act as if every state has oil. Even those states that have oil like Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa how educated are they?

I do not see Ebonyi Abia Edo Ekiti Osun as more productive than Sokoto Nasarawa Benue Plateau and Kwara
