Wow

When i tell my fellow Yorubas that the basic problem of Yoruba are Fulanis and igbos,they fight me .i hope u can see this ,this a reminder to some yorubas forming useless alliances with fulanis or igbos at the expense of your yoruba brother,the igbos and fulanis are parasitic ,that is why they always fight themselves for the control of power.At first the relationship btw igbos and fulani was very sweet when azikwe was licking the juicest part of the fulanis butt,until igbos killed fulani leaders ,since then the relationship has become sour except shagari/ekeueme.That is why igbos will tell Yoruba to join them ,same with fulani telling Yoruba to join them too ,they now play Yorubas like ball.I would continue to say to my Fellow Yorubas dont join fulani or igbos for any thing at all ,let them kill themselves we would count scores and watch their remains rotting off.
Similarities btw fulanis and igbos
Both fulanis and igbos are landlocked
Both Fulanis and igbos are nomadics and immigrants :they leave their land and disturb people in their land
Both fulanis and igbos are Violent,intolerant ,religion extremist (Igbos (christainity) fulani (islam)
Both Fulanis and igbos believe in their tribe supremacy ,both believes they are born to rule.
Both Fulanis and igbos believe in brainwashing people and other tribes to work for their agenda.
Both are covetous and very greedy
Both Fulanis and igbos alway want to hijack ,dominate and control other people's land.
ANY YORUBA PERSON WHO FORMS ALLIANCE OR RELATIONSHIP WITH IGBOS AND FULANIS SHOULD BE READY TO BE USED AND KILLED LIKE VICTOR BANJO (BY THE IGBOS) ,MKO ABIOLA(BY THE FULANIS)

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

That is getting cause and effect backwards. The reason why it was the point of import/export was because it was where the economic activity was concentrated, and had been since before Nigeria even existed. The reality is, the entire rationale for the British conquest of what they would later call "Nigeria" was to provide a "buffer region" to protect the crown jewel of the Lagos colony.

It is nothing more than self-deception at best to pretend that the economic preponderance of the SW owes anything to colonial whim. The British had other ports they could have used, like Port Harcourt or Calabar, and Lugard would certainly have preferred either over the "uppity" Yorubas with their demands for voting rights and freedom of speech. Unfortunately for him, he had to put his seat where the money was, which is why Lagos remained the capital.

You are very correct. A noted fact.

If you look at the table there was no Fulanis in Nigeria, so how did they come about to become Nigerians? Hausa really destroyed this country because they allowed Fulanis to enter this paradise to destroy it.

So a jobless yoruba yoot was fortunate enough to stumble upon a colonial document and found out that despite the huge revenue his brainless fathers made for the British they were only giving less than 1% of their revenue to cater for their hopeless selves.

He then turned it against Igbos as he doesn’t have the mental capacity to confront the British for the worst kind of slavery his fathers were subjected to. He then brought the news to Nairaland, and behold a host of his fellow ethnic zombies drooling at the mention of Igbos. Pray, tell how this was the fault of Eastern Region or Igbos who were also marginalized? Is there anywhere in the document where it seemed like yoruba revenue was been allocated to Eastern Region? Wetin come make this gutter water guzzling and amala chewing irritants dey bleat about the thread crying Igbos everywhere?

Igbos living rent free in Ibadam, Oshobo, Akure, Abiokuta, Lagos, Lagoon, and yorubabrain.

What was the medium of the exchange?

Another SW lie!

Yet we have invaded Lagos economically and bought up almost all the land?

The Nigerian pound was the currency of Nigeria between 1907 and 1973. Until 1958, Nigeria used the British West African pound, after which it issued its own currency. The pound was subdivided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence.


The currency of Biafra 1968-1970
The Biafran pound was the currency of the breakaway Republic of Biafra between 1968 and 1970. The first notes denominated in 5 shillings and £1 were introduced on January 29, 1968. A series of coins was issued in 1969; 3 pence, 6 pence, 1 shilling and ​2 ¹⁄₂ shilling coins were minted, all made of aluminium.

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.

A conquered tribe that willingly relinguished it's heritage(identity) and part of its patrimony (Ilorin readily comes to mind) to Uthman Dafodio during his crusades now has found their withered voice.
Tinubu still pays obeisance to the Fulani's with all Yoruba race in tow and you're here muttering gibberish.
Tivs & Jukuns resisted the jihadist like warriors, reason why they are still trying albeit futilely to annex their land till date but your cowardly tribe couldn't as much as put up a defence in defiance or even put up seeming show of pseudo bravery instead they capitulated like they always will and today the result is that Ilorin has an emirate and not an Oba.
Shame on your forbearers who have passed on that cowardly gene to you.
Osibanjo can't even let out a whimper of resistance even when he is obviously treated poorly... Recall how Atiku resisted Obj (a retired Gen) but your Prof can't do that. Yoruba's will always seek the validation of their Fulani masters before they become anything worthwhile in the Nigeria of today.
I would rather remain a proud 5%er than be the weeping baby of a ruthless Fulani task master from Futa Jelon!

Sincinnati:
Why are most foolish yoruba tribalist here crying and weeping profusely?

How is it Igbos fault that only £500 was deemed enough for the development of your skull laden land by your British Colonial Master after generating more than 8,000 times that amount?
Eastern Region were equally given less than the generated but not as meagre as what you primitive lots received.

How’s it Igbos fault? Sir Robertson na Igbo man? Clifford na Igbo name? Lugard na Igbo abi? Yoruba political Cane and Abel Awolowo and Akintola na Igbo elders?

At least every sensible Nigerian has seen how Igbos innocently cause you slimy lots insomnia, they all know you guys are nothing but double faced friends.


This yoruba boys lack common sense, it’s obvious the consumption of Ewedu and Amala stunts the progressive development of the brain, yet these thugs from Southwest Nigeria would rather choke on the dead food

You need to be chain to a tree and flogged for being this seriously senseless and a huge disgrace to society of humans. You ranted without bringing anything meaningful out and you're still boasting. Is bragging part of your culture in igbo land?

Counter the OP's with facts and stop being silly. Yoruba has been marginalized for decades without us complaining but when the cookie jar was taken away from you lots, the whole world won't rest. You're a disgrace to common sense, you and your ilks.

I don't know why you're still invading our spaces both online and offline cos left to me, I would have closed our borders on you at Ore decades ago.

Balogunodua:

But you saw what the West was generating and yet they were given the least....even the North generates more than the East.

Yes, I saw what the west generated and the paltry sum they were given as allocation. So now you know when we say Nigeria is a british business and that we weren't joking. And when we cry that Nigeria is marginalising us, we are not denying others reality and not stopping anyone else from shouting too. It is not a contest between east, ss, south west or the north who is more marginalised or provides more allocations but allowing commonsense to prevail. Which is that everybody should have a right to their own resources and be governed by themselves.

Western Region generated highest revenue and got the lowest. These people have been punishing us from the colonial period. God dey.

FrLukas:


There's a reason why Lagos became the primary ports location.

It wasn't the only city with a port, was it? Nor was it the only location that bordered the ocean.

Way before the colonialists arrived, Lagos was already a viable center of commerce.

I think you're missing the point in all this.

If, there's an infrastructure in Lagos that all of Nigeria is using to generate their wealth, shouldn't more money be allocated to the region in which Lagos is in, so as to maintain that facility?

Why then is it that despite the huge revenue from the west, it was given the least allocation.

That's what you should focus on.

You're focusing on whether the west actually made as much money as they claimed to have made.

Read about the wonders that chief Obafemi Awolowo did in the western region with revenue from Cocoa. You'd be shocked.

That's to tell you that cocoa was a viable income generator for the region at the time.

Whatever was generated from import and excise duty at the port was quite minimal as compared to cocoa, the major income earner.

still doesn't answer my question as to whether the reason is because west benefited from other regions? well what ever it is, i seriously believe nigeria needs to breakup. this setup is not and will never work from all indications. again just saying

Well maybe those Yorubas copied the slave mentality from Igbo politicians right from Azikwe,Ekwueme etc.All your Govnrs are fulani slaves bringing fulani army to your land to kill its people.The only tribe who does that in Nigeria is the Igbos.

Yorubas has been in opposition since the 60’s till 2015,let Igbos for once be the opposing party to the ruling party while advising the ruling party on good governance.

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

Not his fault nah, they're so many so called Yorubas in (NCNC) who want to colonies us in conjunction with azikwe

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.

Then show us your own that isn't fake, abi you want us to keep believing the lies you've been passing from generation to generation?

Imagine the posterity that would have followed the likes of Awo if they had fought those injustices and yorubas gain back all that truly belong to them. It is not a contest between east, ss, south west or the north who is more marginalised or provides more allocations but allowing commonsense to prevail. Which is that everybody should have a right to their own resources and be governed by themselves.

What do you mean by Awo fighting those injustice? Was Awo not the one that fought for referendum to be included in our constitution? Because he forsaw what would happen if it was not included, but your so called Zik of Africa joined force with the North to fight him. But you see today he has been vindicated. But Igbos still blame Awo and Yorubas for what their greedy leaders did.
