I don't know why you are mentioning me here to talk about how the British planned their economy and allocation, British Nigeria is different from the republic of Nigeria, stop disgracing yourself.

Both in the republic West still generate far more than the East but you lot still Yan dust....apa

With that Awolowo's benevolence, Igbos have now bought almost half of Lagos while his children are crying to Tinubu to help them

Awolowo will be regretting this in his grave

One simple policy and law will reverse that in the future.All those properties will become abandoned properties because we will reclaim all.

FrLukas:


He established the first television station in Africa which many European countries were yet to have.

That man has a special place in our hearts.

2020Experience:
All this Yorubas here are really stupid. Then Eastern Region involved all the Southern States we have now as South South. Eastern Region is oil producing region, so you see why it was like that? Well you westerners must cry blood from your eyes. Nigeria is disintegrating sooner or later. Be ready to make your region what you want. Easterners aren’t begging for unity. Besides the documents are fake. Yorubas only live by propaganda and cunning is their destinies so we aren’t surprise anytime they throw in their nature of propaganda.

Guy please don't forget to take a painkiller, thinking about yoruba people too much can cause serious health issues. Be warned

Try it. You'd be surprised at how much you can learn.

The East has been stunted by the activities of Biafran war and since then, the Fulanis have done everything to strangulate and impede growth in Eastern part of Nigeria

No Federal establishment or project has been cites in the east and they use only second Niger bridge for campaign for over 8 years

The only growth you see in south east is the individual efforts of easterners

**Onitsha being the biggest market in West Africa was built by local business men

While federal government is building airports Even in Minna that doesn't need one and are currently using theirs as grazing field for cows, Anambra state that has the largest commercial activities after Lagos built theirs by the state, and even Sam Mbakwe airport in Owerri was built by individual donations from easterners

Railway now run from West to North and even as far as Niger Republic but that of southeast is still being argued about after so many years

Anambra is an oil producing state but FG refuse giving them certification to build refinery but will instead prefer to invest in Dangotes's airport

How do you mean railway run from West to North? Railway currently terminated in ibadan

Sterope:
The ones they have gotten so far, tell us what they have done with

That's not a reasonable question.

All other regions that got more, have they done better.

They need to get a better share fir a more robust region.

Igbos don't even own 5% of properties in Lagos stop buying their lies....

You are a very big fool. The east in colonial times refers to all the SE states, SS states parts of Benue and Kogi.

Don't have time to debunk your falsehoods....most of you Igbos celebrate ignorance.

buckeyemedia:
Interesting, so The Eastern region produced the least revenue pre independence, yet the people that produced the least, will be shouting the most? Figures don’t lie.

Nobody hold your mouth from shouting marginalisation.

JosephXavier:


It's not a blame game

It's about how easterners managed to grow against all odds

It's the spirit of survival they have

Rising from 20pounds to large concentration of self made billionaires

You guys come to yorubaland to commit robbery,traffick drugs,baby factory,scam, prostitution,fake drugs,the crime list is endless.Fulanis are crying of impersonation of fulani herdsmen by igbos.

Laugh wan tear my belle,The fool called Azikwe left Enugu dilapitated ,to run for premiership in ibadan ,if not for God, the brain power of Awolowo and the massive support and alliances built for awolowo,he would have overrunned the west like he did for NCNC,before the idiot was sent back to his landlocked ,red muddy ,erosion ravaged East.Baba too wan enjoy Cocoa money

Loooooooooool

They're allergic to facts because it shatters the lies told to them by their parents.

There's another clown called princeoflagos always claiming Yoruba yet you won't see him on any pro-Yoruba thread defending his so called tribe. The Mugu thought everyone is as dunce as he is. An igbo boy disguising as Yoruba. All his comments since I'd known him has been pro-igbo.

OsuAmaka:
Cocoa money developed the Eastern region during the colonial period.
The western region have had to bear a lot of Injustice for a very long time. The British ensured that the the region with the highest revenue received the least allocation because they believed the western region was self sustaining while others with the least source of revenue received greater share of allocation to help them develop.
How else would you explain SW receive the lowest allocation of a ridiculous sum of £500 in a year?

Literally, Southwest developed the whole Nigeria with Cocoa revenue.
As a matter of fact, Southwest developed Southern Cameroon. From records, Southern Cameroon generated almost nothing but received much more allocation.
Southwest is the giant of Africa.

-Osu amaka

What you failed to understand is that the east was given below what they generated themselves. So what are you bleating about south west money used in developing the east?

Arexit:


if i bring my commodities to lagos to sell for export do i pay sales tax in kaduna or sokoto?

There's a reason you bring your commodity to sell in Lagos.

Nobody goes to a dead zone to sell commodities. I hope you understand that premise.

Besides, you're probably banking your money not in Lagos but in Sokoto or Kaduna.

So when you sell your goods, you take your cash back home to bank and then pay your tax there.

I think you're forgetting that as at that time, there wasn't wire transfer, POS, ATM, computerized banking etc.

So if you paid income tax, you paid it back in your region.

Does that make sense?

Totally. And still produces the highest revenue till date.

I hope we can see that Nigeria is dragging the Yoruba race down.

We need to cut that anchor so we can soar.

Good you now know Nigeria is dragging your yoruba down. Will you now fight your breakaway and leave igbos struggle for Biafra?

This explain why we're still stuck in this rut.
Little wonder, my cattle ranching, kola nut splitting folks are not ready to let others go their separate ways.

With most of the allocations going up north nothing good has come out of that God forsaken region
Poverty A1
Illiteracy A1

You are really the stupid one here ,Oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956 ,and the document says allocation from 1945-55,why are igbos this dumb ?.Cant you comprehend a simple document .You Igbos licked the fulani ass then ,you enjoy nigeria then without shouting marginalization while Yorubas were marginalized .You this igbo subhumans never seems to amaze me ,after licking the juiciest part of fulani ass

The feast on Yoruba wealth.If Yoruba money is out of the Nigerian equation ,Igbos and fulani will fight to split in a second.

Are we holding your trousers not to fight for your Biafra?

How exactly are the Yorubas stopping the Igbos from breaking away from Nigeria?

Did we stop your importation of arms?

Have we forcefully stopped your riots and protest marches?

Are we sabotaging your efforts to the international community?

How are the Yorubas your stumbling block?

With all the allocation, north still couldn’t build a good educational system


They were busy building Mosques upandan

And the mallams over there too were busy making bombs instead of suya and kilishi. Some took it up and start pumping almajiri to the society too...

DonCortino:


Google 1946 map of nigeria and educate yourself.

The map has may be has it was drawn but adminstrativly Taraba and Adamawa have never been under the Eastern region.

Apparently the pix you shared was based on rivers Niger and Benue.
The rivers were never used to delineate Nigeria.
