I have never seen such a facts-twisting analysis in all my life.
In addition the the other lies told by the OP which have been bursted above, he also attributed Nigeria's footwear exports to the North and Southwest, however a look at the footwear manufacturing companies in Nigeria, shows that 80% of them are located in Abia state, south east Nigeria.

Majority of Northern farming is done in the North central. Beans, tomatoes, ginger, Onions, pepper, cashews,yams and today rice are produce mainly in Taraba, southern kaduna, plateau, Nassarwa, Parts of bauchi,kogi and benue.
Are you sure the highlighted are not derived from the core North?? And I think the East produces a lot of cashew nuts too. And whenever people say "Aba made" I count it as a complement and a pointer to the fact that lots of finished consumer products are derived from there.

This even goes to further illustrate our interdependence. The North produces the raw materials that is being used to drive that industry which is hyde and skin. This is why I don't subscribe to calling any region "parasitic."

Taraba produces lots of ginger and southern kaduna produces lots of beans too. Even Nassrawa is not left out ... There are certain varies of beans produced in adamawa borno axis. Since boko haram, that whole area's farming is down. But the bottom line is, the so called food basket is north central Nigeria.

Quit deceiving your people. We are talking about the contribution of regions to the National economy, you are talking about producers of Adibbas, Tomy Hinfighter and Bathroom slippers. What are the components of export-quality shoes? Leather & Rubber (North and SW/SS). Keep trying.

What do you mean they don't produce in export quantities? You implied the SE isn't adding anything to Nigeria and he brought facts yet you come up with the above? BTW, why did you lump the SW as the only ones producing rubber when the link from the Rubber Research Institute shows various states? Yet you accuse him of leaving other states out? Doesn't it show that you aren't being truthful to yourself?

I think that "food basket of the nation" is the Motto of Benue State. Now I don't know how much you know about that state, but I spent a coupla years in the state on deployment and I can tell you, of a truth, that Benue state is overrated when it comes to agro products. The cost of food is no different there than in Warri!!

Granted, it has enormous potential of attaining awesome heights in that regard given its vast arable lands, but presently, they are hugely under utilised.

Even the yams I spoke about earlier could be found in larger quantities in Nassarawa than Benue. I stand to be corrected though.

Collynzo14 you have made no point to counter the fact that the SE produces NOTHING. Your counter claims which I blew to pieces are:

1. Eastern states cultivate rubber - Yes, but not enough to be exported or contribute substantially to the National Economy

2. Anambra produces oil - Lie! Oil was only discovered, just like it was in Sokoto and Adamawa States (Chad Basin), not exploited so again, no contribution to the National Economy.

3. 80% of footwear factories are in Aba - For the twentieth time, we are talking of export quality (i.e rubber and leather) shoes, and not the fake imitations coming out of Aba. Besides it makes no sense for 80% of footwear factories to be located as far away from the source of raw material (North & SW/SS) as possible.

Whenever there is mention of oil resources, the Igbos will attach themselves with the south-south. For God sake, we are not the same and one people despite the present romance of the south south and south East due to GEJ's presidency, we are not one. Once GEJ leaves office whether in 2015 or 2019 everything returns back to how it used to be. because we will never support Igbos presidency anytime soon in Nigeria

Sometimes I wonder what people intend to achieve when they open threads like this on Nairaland. Op whether u accept it or not, the south east contributes more to the GDP than the north. What crude oil from the south east contributes to the GDP far out weighs the non oil export figure you gave above. That aside , we all know the mercantile nature of the ibo man.they are arguably the second largest middle class in Nigeria after the istekiri who out of their minority status don't make much noise. So the south east by the strength of their human capital alone, contribute more to the nations GDP.

Its an assault on our collective intelligence to posit the North has all this untold wealth but yet remains the only region clamouring for unity rather than dissolution.

Anyway most Nairaland regulars know we can never get an objective evaluation of the north from a northerner whose role here is to disseminate falsehood.

Nigeria earns N305bn from Non-Oil Export – NBS 2013

Nigeria earned about N305.1billion within the first three months of 2013, figures obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate.
A breakdown of the figures highlighted under “2013 Export First Quarter” in the NBS’ report on ‘Merchandise Trade’, showed that export from natural rubber was N158.38 billion; raw cocoa beans attracted N62.198 billion; Sesame seeds, N20,76 billion; cotton yarn, N16.44 billion; and Leather products, N8.56 billion. Similarly, within the period under review, the export value of flowers and buds stood at N8.19 billion; footwear, N7.07 billion; tanned or crust hides, N5.41 billion; frozen shrimps and prawns, N4.96 billion; ginger, N4.09 billion; sacks and bags, N3.84 billion; cigarettes, N2.75 billion; and aluminum alloys, N2.54 billion.

The exports mentioned above, which are captured under the sub-heading, “2013 Export First Quarter” in the NBS report, totaled about N305 billion. However, the NBS further said, “Analysis on exports by section revealed that mineral products contributed N3,034.2billion or 87.9 percent of total exports during the quarter, followed by plastic, rubber and associated articles with N168.1billionn or 4.9 percent; and prepared foodstuffs, beverages, spirit, vinegar and tobacco with N115.2billion or 3.3 percent.

From the 2013 National Bureau of Statistics Report we can deduce;
North
Sesame seeds - N20.76 billion
Cotton yarn - N16.44 billion
Leather products - N8.56 billion.
Flowers and Buds - N8.19 billion;
Tanned or crust hides - N5.41 billion
Ginger - N4.09 billion
Sacks and Bags - N3.84 billion

N & SW
Cigarettes - N2.75 billion
footwear, N7.07 billion

SW
Natural Rubber - N158.38 billion
Raw Cocoa Beans - N62.198 billion
Frozen shrimps and prawns - N4.96 billion

The North remains the backbone of the Cement Industry in Nigeria (Dangote, Sokoto Cement, Obajana, BUA) and has seen a growth of 95.6% in the span of 8 years, beginning 2005 to 2012 according to the Nigerian Cement Industry Report 2013 and with the rapid growth forecasted for the housing sector, the figures are set to rise.

These are Non-Oil Exports. The South-South is responsible for Oil exports. Where does the East lie in the whole equation? What do they produce? Most of Ibo businessmen are traders. PAN Nigeria (owned by ASD Motors, Kaduna) have been producing luxury world-standard cars for the past 30 years, and modern luxury automobiles like the 307 and 508 before newbies like Innoson started cobbling together spare parts from China. Dangote is the King of commerce in Nigeria, paying billions in tax and employing thousands, strengthening the Nigerian economy further. The FG Survey on SME’s showed that a whopping 99% of firms are micro enterprises, and Kano State has the 2nd highest number of SME’s in the country, closely following Lagos.

I think it’s about time the Myth of the North being a parasite, especially being propounded by the REAL PARASITES themselves, is destroyed once and for all. The North contributes a lot to the Nigerian economy and is typically silent, an attribute being abused by the world renowned empty chestbeaters to distract attention from their hollow existence.

Op, thank you for this enlightenment. I will save this thread for future reference. This shoulder make front page
