Reason being that Lagos is more closer to the Atlantic and serve as an easier and flexible way to do it but thats old ways... New ways are on the way...

There is no new way bro, lagos will continue being the only and most economical port in the country as long as Nigeria stand. I'm sure you know there are two other additional port coming up (lekkI and badgry port). This does not mean I dont want other region to have functional port though....

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.

You see, Midwest a major producer of palm oil and timber was part of western Nigeria and so they contributed to development of the west

If you think the palm oil is from south east, wake up from your dream! We have more than enough palm oil in the south west, we are even wasting it, the reason you people are calling us ofe manu, its your people in lagos that increased demand for it
sorry pls which Palm oil do you have? This once that can't mix between itself or this smelly oil? Is it the oils that you will export .. No hate but there is no good palm oil in the southwest even your people can tell you this

#1-First ND and eastern nigeria comprise many states show us the break down of the states that "really" contributed to this oil transfer ...why? Because
I was surprised to find palm oil plantations in osun state ayedire LG to be specific the villagers (during my nysc) in that local govt alone process it locally in large quantity so pls don't fall for the stupid notion that palm oil is only in ND n east. They also in the west tho fewer numbers so only a breakdown of each regions contribution to each sector would solve that debate.

#2- if u notice from the 1913 to 1914 indices virtually every sector(except cotton & timber) recorded growth also except ur precious palm oil which recorded a staggering 15% decrease

While:
*cocoa (8.3% growth)
* hides & skins (recording an astonishing 61% jump)
*tin (19.6% increase)


Now if we are to calculate contributions palm oil contributed 57.6% to naija revenue in 1913 more than half of our revenue.

Then 1n 1914 it contributed less than half of our revenue 47.9 %

So abeg go find 1915 and 1916 because if we are to use to growth trend of other sectors against those of palm oil then sorry palm oil was already an ailing sector.

Stop assessing figures @ face value oga. Analyse them.

As for this...

Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively.

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. Its probably from here the commodity market evolved, because global price of gold, tin, cocoa, wheat, e.t.c is still being determined in London till this day.

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.

Lolz.

Palm oil was NEVER the preserve of the SE or SS, it was in the SW as well! That number is the culmination of all all export of Palm Oil across the SW, SE and SS. Otherwise, show me the breakdown of the percentage of each region in the South! If you add the oil component and others from the SW, you will see that your argument, divisive nonetheless, is dead on arrival!!
