Dumbass, your parasitic brain is now over run with horse manure. Not only N40B but N4000000000T, you don't have any government document to provide as proof . Bloody alamjiris, we are not talking of beheading people here, ediot. Your groundnut was used to develop what again, lying janjaw**eed. You people just lie like mad.

History of the Nigerian Petroleum Industry
Oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta after half a century of exploration. The discovery was made by Shell-BP, at the time the sole concessionaire. Nigeria joined the ranks of oil producers in 1958 when its first oil field came on stream producing 5,100 bpd. After 1960, exploration rights in onshore and offshore areas adjoining the Niger Delta were extended to other foreign companies. In 1965 the EA field was discovered by Shell in shallow water southeast of Warri.

In 1970, the end of the Biafran war coincided with the rise in the world oil price, and Nigeria was able to reap instant riches from its oil production. Nigeria joined the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971 and established the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) in 1977, a state owned and controlled company which is a major player in both the upstream and downstream sectors.

Following the discovery of crude oil by Shell D’Arcy Petroleum, pioneer production began in 1958 from the company’s oil field in Oloibiri in the Eastern Niger Delta. By the late sixties and early seventies, Nigeria had attained a production level of over 2 million barrels of crude oil a day. Although production figures dropped in the eighties due to economic slump, 2004 saw a total rejuvenation of oil production to a record level of 2.5 million barrels per day. Current development strategies are aimed at increasing production to 4million barrels per day by the year 2010.

Petroleum production and export play a dominant role in Nigeria's economy and account for about 90% of her gross earnings. This dominant role has pushed agriculture, the traditional mainstay of the economy, from the early fifties and sixties, to the background.

This is the guy GEJ said he had text messages revealing he sponsored the october 1 2010 bombing !!

IGBOSON1:

^^^So how comes the richest Nigerians Africans come from there!?........I'm sure the top 4 richest Africans are from Northern Nigeria!

And still the poorest are also from the same region. illiteracy also is much at that same region

My brother Dokpesi, not only the North oooo! The South East states of the Igbos contributes nothing too.

The North contributes though very little. But the Igbos contributes nothing. Mr Dokpesi we should not be covering the Igbos anytime there is question of what regions contributes for the survival of Nigeria. Let's be sincere, Igbos don't contribute nothing.

cjrane:
[b]
The thieves are busy posting fake IGR figures as their contribution to National coffers!!!
Now IGR for Kano, Katsina or Borno state goes to the government there and where it's used to sponsor sharia police against southerners or terror groups against the entire nation and not even 0ne kobo goes to the FG! Yet, they demand for the lion share of the FG money derived from other parts of the country paid into the federal coffers!!!

Dokpesi was refering to the amount PAID INTO THE FEDERAL COFFERS by northerners.
I am begging the them to publish how much they take from Nigeria and how much they pay into the federal coffers as taxes from all these tomatoes,millet and onions sales they continuously claim. The bas.terds will not do that because they know they have been immorally reaping where they did not sow.

It is beyond doubt that the day the north contributes a dime into the country's coffers to be used for the development of Nigeria, that is the day they will ask for a breakup of Nigeria.
Parasites![/b]

A decent discussion has turned to insult. What an attitude! The guy provided a verifiable link that shows the contribution of North to the national coffer and all you have succeeded doing is to haul insults at him. Is either you accept his claim or you counter him with superior argument. This is a mark of inferiority. It remains that the East is the least region that make any appreciable contribution. What exactly can anyone point out to that comes from the east? The farm produce from Ebonyi for instance isn't 1/3 of that of Sokoto state, yet you called the North parasites. Parasites could be termed total dependence on others, but the same can't be said of the north that can feed its populace irrespective of oil. But can the same be said of the East? So who is the real parasite here?

Confronting Inter-regional Disparities in Nigeria


By AYO TERIBA

From 19 states in 1980, the next two decades were to see the creation of 17 additional states (two in 1987, nine and the FCT in 1990, and six more in 1996) to arrive at the present 36 states and FCT in six geo-political zones or regions. The economies of all Nigerian states and regions had looked very similar in the stagnant 1980s and 1990s when weak global commodity prices inflicted deep contractions on the country’s economy. Oil production, agricultural and manufacturing output fell steeply and remained stagnant until 1999. Infrastructure, such as rail transport and power supply deteriorated or collapsed over this period.


The nation’s economy however entered a recovery phase in 1999 when global commodity prices saw a broadly-based surge that has surprisingly been sustained for more than a decade, the brief contraction during the 2008/2009 global crisis notwithstanding. This has boosted agricultural, oil and trading output in Nigeria. Growth has however been concentrated in a few sectors as crops, oil, and commerce have contributed 90 per cent of Nigeria’s growth. Each of these three activities is regionally concentrated, meaning that some regions are excluded from the growth process. This creates a challenge of making growth more inclusive.


Thus, regional growth incidence has been primarily dependent on regional resource endowments. States and regions are beginning to look very dissimilar as growth has not been uniform across the regions. States/regions included in the growth processes are getting rich, just as those excluded from the growth processes, remain poor. Regions can now easily be grouped into the haves and the have-nots. If this trend continues, the rich states/regions will get richer, and the poor, poorer.


[b]North-west and North-central, with well-watered stretches of land area, account for 90 per cent of crop production; South-south, with access to coastal oil and gas deposits, accounts for 91.5 per cent of oil production; South-west, with the historic ports of Lagos and lucrative land borders, account for 60 per cent of trading and commercial activities, and North-central and South-south combine to contribute another 30 per cent of this. The remaining two regions, the semi-arid North-east with immense metal ores, and the landlocked South-east with immense coal deposits, are marginalised from the existing growth processes.


The South-west gross regional output grew the most in 2012 with an absolute nominal increase of N1.4 trillion (or 21.8% nominal growth), followed by the North-west with N1 trillion (16.38%), and North-central with N800 billion (14.27%). These are to be compared to regional output increases of N123 billion (10.89%) in the South-east and N100 billion (8.19%) in the North-east. Owing to a slight dip in oil price in 2012 after growing impressively in the preceding three years, oil-dominated South-south recorded a slight decline of about N268.9 billion (-1.69%) in regional output in 2012.

The South-south still had the largest gross regional product, N15.65 trillion (38.6% of Nigeria’s GDP), followed by the North-west’s N8.4 trillion (20.65%), South-west’s N8.2 trillion (20.26%), and North-central’s N5.7 trillion (15%). South-east’s N1.4 trillion (3.27%) and North-central’s N1.2 (3.11%) trillion were the smallest GRPs in 2012, each being even smaller than the increase in South-west’s regional output that year. More importantly, South-east and North-east not only had the smallest economies in 2012, they also recorded the least absolute and percentage growths.
[/b]
The seeming advantage of the South-south’s output over other regions has to be qualified that only a small fraction of the oil wealth created in the region is appropriated in the region. One third of the oil wealth is appropriated by multinational joint venture partners with the remaining two thirds heading into the federation account which only concedes 13 per cent of the oil revenue to producing states over and above what comes to them, like any other state, based on the revenue allocation. The non-oil output of about N1.9 trillion in 2012 is fully appropriable within the region, as with non-oil output in all other regions.

The consequence is that South-south ranks third, after South-west and North-west in total consumption spending, and ranks a distant fifth, only ahead of the North-east, in consumption spending per head. The region’s domestic income is high enough to rank first; consumption is low enough to rank third; and consumption per head even lover to rank fifth. Worse still, food consumption per head in the region is the lowest in the country, while non-food consumption per head is the second highest; revealing the irony that, while the average person in the South-south spends less on food than persons in the other region, the average outlay on non-food items in the South-south is second only to the South-west, and even higher than in the North-central! This anomaly suggests that derivation pay-out funds luxury spending by few privileged government officials and their cronies, while the populace don’t have enough to spend on basic needs like food.

Phame: i'l mention u on a thread to see how an open space ur cephalo is , goat!

The Keyword in Dokpesi's statement was [size=14pt]CONTRIBUTE[/size].

Stop posting figures about how much mangoes or groundnut you sold and how much you have cheated the nation by taking a lion share of the federation account. We know that already.

[size=14pt]Your challenge to his question is to post figures of HOW MUCH YOU CONTRIBUTED INTO THE NATIONAL COFFERS. In order to justify the lion share of it you have taken.[/size]

Dokpesi himself has been created as a successful business man by a northerner so he better shut hell up. Imo who is the number one IBB boot licker?

If Dokpesi's allegation that the North contributes nothing to the Federal coffers is true, then the fault is largely the Federal Government's. What has it (FG) been doing since all these days? Is the FIRS completely non-existent in the North? When the ruling class takes on the role of the protesting class, who exactly then are they protesting to? Those in power should do/face their work (Uche style).

Are we talking about the north vs south or about north vs sw, se, ss ? The later is a mockery to fair reasoning.

To be fair in this discussion lets talk about north vs south contribution or nw, ne, nc vs sw, se, ss.

This is why i want my state need to pull away from north and join the south.

northerners are the main parasites we have since 200BC

Kanwulia: So wetin South dey contribute?

419
Ashawo for Italy
Drug trafficking
Baby selling
Ritual murders
. . . . And forged degrees.

Say oil dey for South, nor mean CONTRIBUTION!

Na una contribute am for GROUND or na mother nature contribute am?


DOKPEMUMU DOPESI!!!!!

The highlighted is very faulty reasoning that is also shallow.
Did "mother nature" not also contribute the fertile soil for growing cash crops like cotton, groundnut etc?
Why is the north not contributing to the federation account from the resource bestowed on it by "mother nature"
