You are the biggest liar in the history of Nigeria.so you mean other regions economic activities were shut down only the North was functioning.

In 1943-1966 Nigeria ran a regional govt (Western,Eastern and Northern) where money in your region was utilized by that region only 10% was given to the FG.

Why the disclaimer.
If you have some knowledge about the history of Nigeria, you should know that the write up does not make sense.
First, the reason why the north and south were amalgated is because the north didn't have money to run it's administration.
Secondly,the major earners during those periods were cash crops and it has been shown on this forum that the Cash crops from the south had more economic value than the ones from the north.
Thirdly, what we had were regional educational and scholarship boards, so I don't how the north were educating others and left their own population.
I can go on and on...
