The Bretons are Celtic. Normans are Germanic. And those Jews are Ashkenazi's and they're also Germanic. I bet the whole thing is too complex for you, init?

SW is Yoruboid. And the people are culturally and linguistically the same.

Orlando Owoh:
Yes, crude oil was discovered in late 1950s, it was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that we experienced oil boom.

Katsumoto:

Normans are from Normandy in France. They are not Germanic although they were originally vikings.

Nah, I just think a group that has added nothing whatsoever to black history and culture except Jihadism (a foreign culture) having the guts to act like they're better than they actually are is just problematic. And the way they go around in Nigeria unchallenged maiming people. Add their born to rule to rule mentality to the equation. I don't like them.

That's just me...and I've said that a few times in the culture section.

Old guy that is not quite it. In fact we have two categories of Fulani. Namely the town Fulani who formed part of the ruling class up north and subsequently intermarried with the indigenous Hausa, and the Country Fulani who are Nomadic Herdsmen and have kept their distinct identity more or less.

tensor777:
I suggest your post is flawed because the main reason the SW has benefited apart from Lagos being the former capital is that they have had better leaders than anywhere in the SE OR SS. This has enabled them to acquire a high level of education and of course subsequently get good jobs.
There is no conspiracy theory although elements like Dokubo-Asari are fond of justifying their criminality by spouting such garbage.

tensor777:
So its now Germanic and Celtic. Fine, They were still tribal groupings not nation states. That is all.
We already have a nationality in Nigeria and that is Nigerian. So you would have to make a case, not me, who is a One Nigeria man,as to why we should have different nationalities in Nigeria.

I have to totally disagree with you on this reckless insinuation that “SW has benefited apart from Lagos being the former capital is that they have had better leaders than anywhere in the SE OR SS”. Besides Lagos State, which has been juiced up with economic steroid by the federal government of Nigeria, SW is as good as SE or SS.

4Wilywily: What surprised me is how Yorubas that claimed to be soooo intelligent and sophisticated on everything are afraid to have their own country and govern themselves the way they like.

Bigots who are filled with hate atimes do not their own identities, let alone those of the people they hate. That is how evil forces work. SMH

@Mr. Gull, you may be on to something in your last post.

Katsumoto:

I have been cordial to you in the past; I do not understand the unnecessary attack on my person.

I stated factually that Oil was not the major source of revenue in 1966. See below

'The rapid growth of petroleum revenue in the 1970s removed most of the severe constraints placed on federal and regional or state budgets in the 1960s. Total federal revenue grew from N306.4 million in 1966 to N7,791.0 million in 1977, a twentyfivefold increase in current income in eleven years. Petroleum revenue as a percentage of the total went from 26.3 percent in 1970 to more than 70 percent by 1974-77.'

http://www.photius.com/countries/nigeria/economy/nigeria_economy_government_finance.html

Even as at 1970, Oil only accounted for 26% of total revenue. Your guess is as good as mine with what the percentage would have been in 1966.

keep staying in US and be commenting on the reality on ground in Nigeria. relocate from US to onitsha and you will know wussup. you willneed a truckload of a combined forces of police, mopol, army, navy and airforce protect you. Even with that, your security is not guaranteed.

ndu_chucks:
The current revenue sharing formula is indeed unfair. With the existing 13% derivation, the abrogation of the onshore/offshore dichotomy during the Obasanjo regime had created a wide gap in revenues between oil producing and non-oil producing states. In my view the restoration of the abrogated onshore/offshore dichotomy would make the formular fairer. I'll leave it at that, to avoid derailing this thread and you can agree to disagree with me if you wish.

tensor777: @Dede
Good. How about in the Awolowo inspired mass education programs. That was implemented by AG, UPN and even by succesive military governments.
We are talking about the implementaion of policies that enabled their people to have a competitive edge in the labour market as well as the inculcation of the idea that Education is a worthwhile investment

amakenny:

You need help - and lots of it. You tell lots of lies. There is as much criminality - if not more - in Yorubaland today as is in Igboland. The north is even a no-go area for people from the south.

I am due in Owerre in few weeks. A son of the soil such as me does not need police escorts move rather freely in Igbo land.

Katsumoto: Can someone explain to that dullard ACM10 that he is confirming my position that oil was not a major contributor to Nigerian revenue during the civil war?

I think he can read but he can't comprehend.

sincerely i had to read it 5times to be sure that was not posted by you.

What disappointment did Jonah cause the southwest press/people 4-5 weeks after the election, before the song of marginalization stated?? Your SW members of the house sold your speaker ship slot to the NW for what But your political elites and your media noise makers blamed Jonah.That song became their building block during the fuel subsidy coup? I remember Falana on Channelstv opening his mouth to accuse Jonah of trying to destroy the southwest economy, that's why he is removing subsidies. What the liar never told Nigerians was the southwest consumed 60% of the so called subsidies petrol. Things just went down hill from there.

I personal thank God for the Asaris of this world and Igbos for standing by Jonah when those of you from the southwest were prepared to eat him alive. You woke us up to a critical self-assessment, that where we are now. This Nigeria can burnt and go to hell or you people should live and let's live. The choice is on your side. You will not push any of us around in this country. Not now or Never.

See this mumu. Can't you see that oil accounted for over 30% of Nigeria's export in 1966? Ode, where is your 27% figure in 1970? The percentage was 57.6% in 1970. Even at that, the figure was low. Can't you read that the crude oil share of export during the war years were either missing or sketchy? REASON being that proper records were not kept at that time. Nigeria even sold more during the war to meet up with its financial need. Use your brain for once.

Katsumoto:

I read it three times just to be sure there wasn't something I was missing.

I made a point that oil was not a major contributor to Nigerian revenue. In 1970 it was just 26%.

And what does the dummy do, he provides stats to prove my point while thinking he is disproving my point.

That is what happens when men get emotional and go sniffing other men's nuts.



Ndu_chuks,

Please add that your gif of the dog doing a ROTLMAO.

Since you insist that oil was not the major source of revenue, please silence us by providing the major source of revenue with a link to a factual site.
