This SW comeback is greater than the Istanbul miracle and more relevant than the Anfield miracle

If they continue with this pace and along this trajectory, they will be out of sight by 2050

How do those guys from Nnamdi Kanu side drop this much? They Devolved

vanbonattel:
The comeback from the west was just because of rhe war, remove Eastern resources and the west is nothing, that's why the west cannot survive without Nigeria.

madridguy:
The small Igbomustgo hash tag recently, we see how your leaders and followers are running around.

One man just cut a fresh human head in Oyo this morning, it's on front page, where is the hashing for that?

Please look at the fund allocations by the Colonial Government in 1956.

The West that collected least then was the most developed region, kudos to the late sage Obafemi Awolowo. It is time for the South West to retrace its steps to those economic activities that brought development to the region without depending on the allocation from the colonial masters or the Federal Government. The Governors should now use our resources for the benefit of the people and overall development of the South West and leave other regions to pauperise their region as they wish

Western received less and still the most developed region during that time... Pa Awolowo was a great man, may his soul continues to rest in peace

Racoon:
The colonial master were busy loading the northern region with excess resources because they find them easily controllable and receptive.

The East may have been as a result of more people from the region dominating the colonial government leading to the immediate post independence era when the skewed and defective quota system was introduced by the North to gain undue political advantage of others.

The abysmal allocated metted out to the South West may be due to the "wild wild west" radicalism of the people of the in refusing to be courted and subjugation by the colonial masters. Nevertheless, Lagos was already the capital city of Nigeria then.

There must be reasons for the low allocation to the west but the OP may craftily remove that one and post the one most relevant to his bigotry objectives.

The West may have been an area with very little population, and probably produced or sent noting to the federal government. Maybe the 500 they were giving them is just to sustain them. We all knew that most of the resources came from the East and North, the West was just used as an export route to the sea, if not, there wouldn't have been rail tracks passing through the whole region.

The current federal sharing formula which aims to seize resources like gas and oil from the east and south to feed the West and north is favoring the west mainly. Notice how the west panicks each time the east or north talks about secession, they know that as soon as Nigeria end, the west will return to Benin Republic or Burkina Faso levels.

In colonial era, all regions contributed more than 10% of their earnings to the colonial government and they in redistribute them according to the needs. The west never needed anything from the colonial government as they earn 100x of what they were given, even the Olubadan earn 2100pounds during the same period
