The north has never been economically viable, that was why northern and southern Nigeria were amalgamated - to make life easier for the lazy British administrators.

There has never been a time when the north has not been subsidized by the south. Economic output has always been greater in the south and will be for the foreseeable future - it's a matter of culture. Open societies foster trade and ingenuity.

Here's what an unbiased source had to say:

One defining characteristic of administration in Northern Nigeria Protectorate was the inclusion of chiefs and emirs as "native authorities" fitting into British administration.[3] Taxation proved very difficult in the protectorate for the first years of British rule. Lugard's attempts to institute poll taxes were foiled by the emirates, the need to introduce coin controversy, and attempts to tax trade were opposed by powerful merchants.[3] This created a substantial deficit in the budget of the Protectorate and public works projects had to be paid by grants from the British Empire. As a result, the British often had significant shortages of British personnel before 1907. These pragmatic concerns resulted in incorporation of the traditional authorities within the British structure.[3]

These same financial and administrative challenges resulted in discussions led by Lugard for the unification of the Lagos Colony, the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, and Northern Nigeria. The disparities between the protectorates was to be corrected by creating a central administration in Lagos, with custom revenues from the south paying for the projects in the north.[3] The unified Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria began in 1914 and had two lieutenant governors with one responsible for the area of the southern province and another responsible for the northern province. The administration in the north remained largely separate and included and deepened the use of native authorities. These divisions have been found to persist in many respects to this day.

It wasn't because we couldn't, it's because we refused to give into the white mans demands because face it, we're bad as*es! Apparently you guys are good at accepting your masters demands, all the more reason why you can't break away without our blessing.

veron007:
Where will he get the money to sustain such wild goose chase? We wasted more than 10 years exploring oil in the Chad basing without anything to show for it. And we want to go down the same fruitless route.

If others struck oil on their sides of the basin, there's no reason why Nigeria can't get it on its side of the basin.

You wan force oil comot for North abi? Mu je zuwa. When other countries are diversifying, you are thinking of plunging this country into the oil brohaha further

Boko haram is an issue that a plain northern state can conquer but as to kidnappings armed robberies and other fraudulent acts in the south, that you're stuck with because corruption is in your dna, as for oil, it's not too late, heck I'm sure we do have the oil, just that we don't want to share with you, until we're done tapping yours, we'll break away and enjoy ours alone.

^^^I no blame una! It's the South South/South East political elite i blame!!....They roll over and accept all the rubbish these 'owners of Nigeria' throw at them like neutered little shih-tzus!

Resource control bill shouldn't be passed.....not until the parasitic north says so abi? We down south are effectively weighed-down by this north, and can't progress as fast as we could when dragging along this kind of dead weight!

This charade of a country makes me sick!!!

Nwanne, e no easy o. All what the north does to the south is: drag him back. #IHateParasites

I thought you'd be happy with this development! We'll finally leave your oil alone and when the oil in the south becomes utterly useless, we'll see how you can diversify on your own seeing as your land is dead and all.

Idiot why wait till den to split? U think Igbos are most advanced today cos of oil wealth? Better build on human capital

That does not explain why northern Nigerian in 2015 is still not economically viable.

They had to try and institute a poll tax - that only happens when there is insufficient business revenue. It wasn't southern poll tax that subsidized northern projects but customs revenue.

Nothing in that passage refutes what I wrote.

Why has 'Arewa' not even attempted to break away? Not even a murmuring? Could it be because things are much as they were in 1914? A few wealthy people and a huge, uneducated, poorly nourished underclass.


P.S.
Is it 'bad ass' to stagnate your own development?

I was enjoying what you posted until i got to the part where you said "as soon as we find oil and build refineries" chai that was not nice and wicked. Well South South does not belong to Biafra so they can leave now self if they want. Only the Igbo state. I think Nigeria as a whole has more oil than we can imagine.

SeverusSnape:
More like stabilize oil price...

Nigeria on the move again. Both will be achieved.

After independence we were doing fine agriculture wise but then our money was used to discover "your" evil oil, that's when all hell broke loose! Our oil this our oil that but very soon you'll understand why you shouldn't have messed with us.

So the north went from abject poverty (to remaining in abject poverty) to subsidizing the south?

Where do you guys get these lies from?

It is good for north.

woodcook:


chai!! Igbo people don suffer for una hand. una get real talent, I know sabi how una dey manage turn every topic for NL into Igbo this Igbo that.

Honestly igbophobia should be added to the English dictionary. 'Majority' of these yorebas are just so pathetic and disgusting set of despicable animals

I have to say I feel quite offended that an IGBO man just called me a liar. Anyways, if I'm yearning for discovery of oil in the North then it's because I want the revenue to be used to revive the mining and agricultural sector in the north seeing as we have the vast lands and labour and all. Then we can go back to the occupation of our ancestors then in a few years when oil is totally utterly useless then you'll start sh*tying yourselves, heck! I'm quite sure you'll just murder each other into extinction because all you carry inside and out is ugliness and hatred.

You assume that I'm Igbo?

How foolish can you be?

You have vast lands that you refuse to work.

You have unskilled, uneducated labor because you refuse to educate your people.

You have a large population of children who have never seen a class room.

Teenage girls whose bodies have been ravaged by childbirth by way of fistula.

Polio (in 2015).

If you truly believe in Arewa agitate for a break away state and watch as your own people laugh at you for being so foolish.


P.S.
You cannot talk about killing in the south with Boko Haram and the crazy Fulani herdsmen killing for the sake of killing. Jos used to be a beautiful city - but the common factor in most of Nigeria's problems turned it into a war zone.

Sweetguy25:
Even with Boko Haram?

Who is Boko Haram in the eyes of Buhari. Boko and their sponsors are thinking what will befall them. Have you heard from Shekau of recent?

No! It's badass to not allow our brains and resources get raped by the white men! Education might be a problem for now but that will all change, seeing the vibrant new generation of intellectuals the north is nursing, I can honestly say the future looks bright. Just think 10 years into the future when oil is utterly useless, we'll see who holds all the cards.

You don't want your brains being raped by white men but are perfectly happy to allow them to be raped by the backwards and destructive Arabs.

Who cares whatever f*cking tribe you are you're all the same to me! Like I said, it's a work in progress but your ninny minds will be shocked by the events that will happen in the next decade. Only imbeciles like you think only of the present! As for the breakaway part, trust me it's gaining momentum and soon, your homo erectus' brothers will understand why we've been coping with all the insults all these years.

No one in Nigerian history was more corrupt than Abacha.

After him comes Babangida.

How did Atiku make millions as a customs officer?

So who is it that has corruption and economic stagnation in their DNA?

Even Yar'adua, who everyone claimed was so clean, was married to a woman who was collecting bribes under his nose - check the Wikileaks memos for proof.

Submarine /under ground drilling equipments are been used in drilling oil undersea and you are here shouting, what do you know? Mtchewww the more you look the less you see!

Check out how you guys behaved during election, it was a show of shame.
Please ensure you educated your youth, get them of the street and stop them from doing Tmarine, hire assassin , robbers, local government tout on the high way ,

What influence do the Arabs have in northern politics? Are we paying them tax? Did we pay them tax? Did they conquer and rape and pillage our people and force a tax on us? Forget about Waec and neco, we're very aware of your malpractices in the south but as a matter of fact, the percentage we've been getting is enough for us to achieve the future we're planning. Back then northerners didn't even consider western or modern Islamic education but the fact that there showing up is the positive here. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make a difference. But you guys, even with your educated masses all your people do is steal and rob and all other unethical practices.

Goziemartins:


BUT MEANWHILE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THE PARASITIC TYPE OF LIFE THAT YOU'RE LEADING WHILE TALKING ILL OF THE REAL OWNERS(at least for now) OF THE VERY THING THAT MAKES YOU SHOUT ONE NIGERIA.....Anu ohia !!!

crude oil and gas exploration contributes about 15%:to GDP but more 80% to government earning. This indicates that Nigeria federal government lack the much needed skills to diversify and developed a more dynamic national income through tax, agriculture, solid minerals, manufacturing etc.

Oil will significantly become on important the moment Nigeria is run properly

In what world was Abacha more corrupt than IBB? Clearly you have no clue what you're talking about! IBB was the most corrupt leader Nigeria has ever had, I admit that but even he said that they were saints compared to GEJ, I believe him. And like you said, there are few northern elites, we can claim that our future generation is getting educated and we have a bright future, but what are your youths good for if not mischief? They've ruined the Nigerian name in and out of Africa, there's no sign of change! You are still the same old corrupt blokes you are.
