False.....based on the screenshots shared by you.....the sum total of revenue generated by the western region clearly out numbers that of the eastern region..... you're being half smart by stating revenues generated in the region solely for the region.

The headline stated revenue/expenditure not only revenue.
The Colonials operated as much as the present Nigerian government during that period.
Regions generated income (igr you guys love so much this days ) through taxes while the Federal/colonial government was in charge of Export duties (Nigeria's major source of income before and till now-oil).

In essence, you guys depended on the federal allocation+ loans to run before independence.

Igboid:
Commonly referred to as “Mba Ji Isi Acho Isi” (the Nation of Headhunters) for their long history of military prowess and exceptional bravery in the face of combat, the Ohafia people have been known to embrace challenges and stand rigid in the face of danger. In a community in which strength and valor were the parameters by which social honors were conferred, wars—especially those with the White Men—were a prime opportunity for young Ohafia lads to earn eagle feathers of their own with which to brandish their caps—a badge of inimitable courage and achievement.

Such an opportunity came in the year 1901, when the British Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF) invaded Igboland in a punitive campaign to demolish Igbo resistance to colonial rule and avenge the Massacre of their compatriots at Obegu. That year, Obegu, a pro-British town in what is now Abia State, had been sacked and a large number of its inhabitants were massacred by anti-British forces headed mainly by the Aro and their Ohafia, Abiriba, and Abam allies. As retribution for their involvement in the massacre, the Ohafia people were among those targeted by British forces.

That year, Eke Kalu, a former-slave-turned-business man, was visiting the British-held port city of Calabar on a business errand when he witnessed the White Men and their African soldiers preparing for their assault on his homeland. Earlier in his life, Kalu had served as a load carrier for RWAFF troops throughout their campaigns and had witnessed the devastating effects of their artillery and machine guns. Driven into action by the urgent need to save his people from their imminent doom, he hurried out of Calabar via canoe and returned to Ohafia, where he issued warnings to no avail.
As they approached Ohafia, the British forces first stopped at Ebem and set up camp. As soon as they pitched their tents, a charge of Ebem warriors led by their commander, Idika Echeme, attacked. Startled at first, the British suffered a few casualties but soon brought the force of their Maxim machine guns to bear on the hapless Ebem warriors, who were armed with mere dane guns and swords. (Continued in comments)

British artillery further devastated the charging warriors and cut down wave after wave, eventually routing the survivors. After the battle, Ebem was burned down.

Back in Ohafia, news of Ebem’s demise only helped Kalu dissuade his people from what was considered suicidal resistance. As the British approached Ohafia, a delegation led by Eke Kalu awaited them at the town’s outskirts. As the soldiers neared, he waved a bamboo pole upon which was tied a white handkerchief and shouted: “Anyi kwere na nde Bekee” (we agree to the British).

Complete Reading here: http://igbobia.com/?q=how-the-ohafia-people-were-saved-from-british-massacrethe-1901-story-of-the-brave-eke-kalu.html

Here you see how another Igbo village, Ebem was ransacked levelled and it's surviving warriors mopped up by the British.
The rest of Ohafia town after seeing what Happened to Ebem had to surrender.

This story didn't cover it, but after such surrender, the British usually constitute a trial and still arrest and jail main ring leaders to the resistance and spread the news to neighboring towns to dissuade them from mounting any resistance to British colonialism.

That's how British kept pilling up Igbo prisoners.

Regional revenue not total of federal allocation and regional revenue (igr).
Yes the SW had more Federal revenue from Nigerias common wealth hence the higher total yearly revenue, But the SE contributed more to the federal revenue and generated more Regional revenue.
Explaining it in lay man terms, in 1960, the western region generated (what we now call igr) 4,000 pounds from taxes while the Eastern region generated 5000 pounds ,but the colonial government paid (what we now call Federal allocation) 15,000 against 9,000 to west.
The colonial masters dispensed funds to the regions based on landmass and population (The british definitely wrote the 1999 constitution).
In other words,all I have been pointing out is that the East generated more Igr than the West before independence

As a region, the East was on such a fast upward economic trajectory that -but for the ill-advised Nzeogwu led coup- could have seen it reach first-world status within two decades!

If it wasn't Nzeogwu's coup, something else would still have precipitated genocide against Ndiigbo. Ndigbo for one were hated by the British for our fierce independence. The only region that they couldn't completely control. This hatred was transfused to other Nigerian tribes. The fact that the Igbo quickly became what the whiteman was lest other Nigerian tribes in envy and jealousy. The summary was that it was just a matter of time before Igbo realized that too mush success is dangerous for us in the midst of tribes that lack the natural drive of Ndigbo. You cannot lead in all spheres and sectors among people who cannot compete on level playing ground and they don't scheme evil out of jealousy. That was exactly what the Jews of Europe suffered. Did the Jews topple any governments in Europe?

Even the Nzeogwu coup was nationally celebrated before the British Home Office stepped in and convince the Northerners in the UK that it was an anti-North coup. Without the hatred of the Bristish towards Igbo, it would not have been christened an IGBO COUP.

Very true, just as they are looking for another reason to destroy our modest achievements.

The British factor/interests can't be overlooked, Nigeria have always been a milk cow for them and they will vehemently oppose any attempt to change the status qou.

UAC, PZ,UNILEVER, Shell etc played negative parts in our history (one of them is actually the infamous Royal Niger Company that sold slaves ,deposed monarchs and killed opposers paving the way for the colonization of West Africa) Today these same companyies are still leaders in there respective fields and major players yet in Nigeria

The truth is that by our own standards, we know that we are quite poor. We don't have money. Our people can be said to have only the first generational wealth right now. So we are just building houses for now, with very few big industries. By the next generation well, i think i will stop here, can't say to many things as we have too many enemies.

Igbos has highest population of middle-class in Nigeria.

Igbos villages and rural areas are far more developed than other regions of the country.

Below are states with the highest Bank deposit according to CBN:

Lagos, Ogun, Kano, Anambra, Abia, Rivers, and the FCT

While deposits in Anambra and Abia are 99% Igbo. Many of the bank deposits in Rivers and Lagos can be traced to Igbo. Not to mention FCT.
All the nonsense you put here....blah blah 18 Yorubas,2 Igbos and whatever lies you want to spin have been defeated with FBI 80 which had 78 criminal Igbos on the list coupled with thousands of Igbos on the death row in Asia.

Now let's focus on thr ones who have been awarded the title of notorious arm robbers as well as the well known arm robbers in Nigerian history. Corrupt officials would be included as well. I'm not going to take credit for this finding. This was beautifully written for us by Shuma Maliga

Anyway, the most notorious armed robbers in Nigerian history and in this century were always Yorubas.
From Shina Rambo aka Mathew Oluwanifemi
http://gistmonger.com/90s-armed-robber-shina-rambo-i-beheaded-100-men-pounded-27-babies-slept-with-my-motherpic/
To Czar aka Abiodun Ogunjobi
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/godogodo-bigger-than-shina-rambo-police/
To Alhaja Faith Balogun (though an Edo state indigenous but she is married to a yoruba and her husband shared the wealth of her crimes and not once did he ever reported her so I'll include her)
http://www.dailyindependentnig.com/2013/03/end-of-the-road-for-alhaja-faith-lagos-robbery-queen/

These three are the main armed robbers that your own state police officer described as the "most wanted"

History of Armed robbers, Company liquidators, Rapists and Notorious official criminals in Nigeria

by Shuma Maliga

NIGERIA TOP TEN ARMED ROBBERS

1. DR. OYENUSI- The greatest Nigerian armed robber in history and number One Nigeria Armed Robber. Oyenusi is a Yoruba man from Osun State.

2. BABATUNDE - another notorious armed robber from Yoruba who bastardized white lace in his days with his gang. He operated with his gang almost the same time with Dr. Oyenusi- (the greatest Nigerian Armed robber in history).

3. FOLORUNSO - another powerful known armed robber of Yoruba origin who stole with blood in his hands. He was Babatunde's best friend and they rob most times as a gang. He was said to have impregnated one of Babatunde's wives before he was killed.

4. SHINA RAMBO: A no nonsense Armed Robber. Nobody knows whether he is for real or a myth. He is also proudly Yoruba.

5. LAWRENCE NOMAYAGBON ANINI- A celebrity Armed Robber that made dummies out of the Nigerian police in the 80's. Lawrence Anini whose gangs caused fear and terror in Benin. He was from(Mid West) today's Edo state and his mother is Yoruba. Many believed he's smart in Robbery but not still as smarter or dangerous like Dr. Oyenusi(the greatest Nigerian Armed Robber).

6. MONDAY OSUNBOR- Another bloody Armed Robber of Yoruba origin. Osunbor is Anini's deputy.

7. Inspector GEORGE IYAMU. Remember he was the senior Cop that made Anini's career successful. He was a top Armed Robber in police uniform. He supplied intelligence and Arms to Anini's gang. He was number three in Anini's Gang and number seven in Nigeria's Armed Robbers history book. He's also a Yoruba man.

8. KAYODE WILLIAMS- Another brutal Armed Robber in history who later turned Pastor. The son of famous Mrs. Williams. Kayode was Oyenusi's best friend and he is Yoruba.

9. OBIDIOZOR OTOKOTO- A ritualist, robber who killed people for ritual purposes, hitman, racketeering, loan sharking and general crime merchandise. He is igbo.

10. DERICO AND YEMO.

Even the Nzeogwu coup was nationally celebrated before the British Home Office stepped in and convince the Northerners in the UK that it was an anti-North coup. Without the hatred of the Bristish towards Igbo, it would not have been christened an IGBO COUP.

I may not have voiced it out, but secretly....within me, i also share the same sentiment that the Nzeogwu coup was just a convenient excuse used to 'rein us in' by Igbo-haters and those who felt Igbos/Eastern-Region had it good and were developing too fast and leaving them behind!

I don't know why the likes of Zik, Ironsi, Nzeogwu and other Igbos who naively believed and were comfortable with 'one Nigeria', didn't read the handwriting on the wall and know it was just a matter of time before something would be done to 'cut Igbos down to size'! The signs were there: the killings of Igbos in the north in the 50s; the deliberations in the northern house of assembly in the 60s (i think it was the 60s) that discussed how to curtail Igbo achievements in the north; the Sadauna interview that labelled Igbos as a invading, greedy, controlling and power-hungry lot; and the anti-Igbo speech by Akintola! The signs couldn't have been clearer or better spelt out for our forebears to see, but they chose to ignore them and continue with 'one Nigeria'....probably thinking the constitution agreed upon by all regions on 1st Oct' 1960 was enough to forestall any scheming and plots against us!

Another thing was that this same 'negative' attitude was also apparent within Ndigbo as well (yes, envy and hate can also exist within a family....look at Cain and Abel shocked)! There were parts of Alaigbo that were more prominent nationally and were progressing better and faster than others, and this led to accusations of 'marginalisation, exclusion and lording it over others'! This was within Ndigbo, so you can imagine how it was between Ndigbo and other ethnicities in the then Eastern Region! This was why, during the uncivil war, outsiders found it easy to sow the seeds of discord amongst us and find saboteurs that helped them make inroads into the East; they (the sabos) were easily convinced their actions would 'liberate' their people from Igbo 'oppression and control'!

Pained Yoruba Muslim.

Where is your stat for the type of crimes committed by Igbo prisoners?

Resisting a colonial tax collector was a crime in 1940 punishable by jail sentence or fines.
Resisting British colonialism was a crime and all the warriors who fought and lost were summarily arrested and jailed.
No where in Nigeria were there more resistance to colonialism than Igboland,the Igbos were never a people to accept subjugation without putting up a fight,so rationally speaking, there should be more Igbo prisoners than any other ethnicity in Nigeria.

I mean Yorubaland literally invited the British to come and colonize them after they got tired of protracted Kiriji wars. So how exactly were they going to have high colonial prisoners?

The Bini were a monarchical people, once you arrest the Oba and jail him in Calabar, they all surrendered. But the Igbo were not monarchical. There was no single head to arrest to end it all. Mass arrest was the only way and even that was not always effective as new ring leaders usually sprang up.

Continue to dance around the truth everybody know ibo to be prison bird's today they populate prisons in the middle east/Asia

Atleast I've shown a stat of the ethnicities of prisoners, bring your own stat showing the crimes of those individuals, you you're freedom fighters but all what your freedom fighter leaders know how to do best from Ojukuwu to Nnamdi kanu is to run abroad disguised women grin.
Quit your stupid islamophobic nature, just like Benjamin Adekunle who killed a thousand of your brothers and mothers in the war.....just like him I am a full blooded Yoruba christain.

Goodnight, am done with your stupidity.


Don't be bamboos by that guy if he want the names of those his brothers in prison maybe he should go and check the record of the prisons in the east.. And as for that one that call himself eduj don't mind him he is just deceiving himself with fake screen shot that can be read very tiny stuf
