So the west generated more income compared to both Northern and Eastern Nigeria put together and gets the least from the FG. Cheating started in Nigeria since 0001AD

FrLukas:


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?

valarmorghulis:

Did you see what they generated from North? They generated 32k pounds from North, compare that to 11k pound from the south, am sure you'll see the difference clearly

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

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.

FrLukas:


Yeah. That's to show that we have the brainpower indeed to create a very viable nation.

And people keep wondering why we Revere pa Awo so much.

That man was a blessing to his people.

YorubarLord:
Yes ooo. Fucking osu pigs have the audacity to talk trash about yoruba people when we feed their forefathers

BSsniffer:



Yes the north got the highest.....but check the revenue generated by the north then....still far higher than that of the east, the north only short changed themselves out of greed by chasing after oil.....the numbers tell the story, igbos are useless noise makers.

cocolacec:

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

TrackerXL:
But you ignore the superiority of your Yoruba lord that you love to insult. This was before the discovery oil n today Igbos are still flocking into Yoruba to scavenge from the wretched east, no wonder Azikwr wanted to be premier of western region by all mean.

2elliot:
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?

JosephXavier:


How do you plan to reclaim what is not yours?

Balogunodua:

I Wonder why those flatis economic experts haven't invade this thread and tell us how East had been feeding West since 16th century..

JosephXavier:
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

OsuAmaka:

YES!.. Facts don't lie.
The major allocations received from Cocoa was used to build infrastructures and fund Education of the Eastern region.

Arexit:


come on, as it is then so it is now, that is where the port is, you don't expect me to export through benin when i am nigerian and the port is in Nigeria right, even so during the colonial time, its not about dead zone its about if other regions contributed to your revenue count.

you know for sure items came from the north and the east through the west but did the reverse happen?

If the Eastern region generated £11.4m and were given a meagre £2.7m, how was it fair to them?

Blitz888:


Rid yourself of Igbophobia...

A race much hated by inconsequential minions like your ilks and they're still this prosperous... It tells you simply that we keep rising like the Phoenix!

ntyce:


This isn't true..

Going by this map, current day Taraba and Adamawa were under the Eastern region which was never so.
The Eastern region borders stopped at current day Cross Rivers state.
Also, Kwara was under the Northern region.

Arexit:
should we not take into account that the west was the point of import/export as it still is now and that means financial exchanges and taxes from the regions were also counted as western revenue?

just asking

LegendHero:
People can you see that.

When Ojuku now saw that oil was detected, he wanted to secede with the oil even after the Western Region was the cash cow then during the trying days for Nigeria before Oil.
