Yeah, you're now bullshitting. I guess a researched work specifically on the oil industry in Nigeria published by Cambridge University is now unreliable because you didn't see what you like.

Your link for oil palm is restricted so it adds nothing
The other post does not back up your claim for 60% .hat is clear is this by 1850 Britain had not annexed Lagos and so palm oil exports were not significant anyhow I should point out Cocoa is not indigenous to Africa and had not even been planted. By 1898 Lagos was exportin £100000 of palm oil so what is clear is in a very short time oil became a major export. Now all this argument is not about precolonial time but much later . By independence the Western region was a major producer of oil palm among other things which takes us back to your index claim of how you were BEST IN AGRICULTURE which really is the bone of contention. A region which previously did not have a single cocoa tree had become one of the world leading producers in addition to palm oil and rubber and kolanuts and timber. So you claim about agriculture is dismissed

The Onitsha market claim is too sketchy to believe and needs substantiation not some HEARSAY reports without citations
The one for the market lacks substantiation . We are not told who authored this report or their source

ezeagu:


So you didn't know Calabar was the first capital of Southern Nigeria? I'm not even going to bother posting a source because it's a basic fact. Lagos was the biggest slave market before the British Navy collaborated with Yoruba whos whos to end the trade and they took the land as a colony. They then made it the capital of Nigeria after amalgamation and years after the palm oil trade in 1914.

Calabar was not capital of Southern Nigeria . This is a common error.

It was a capital of a part of southern Nigeria . i.e the Oil Rivers Protectorate.
When that was merged with West in 1906 Lagos became the Capital

Igbos Lying And Its Negative Consequences For Them.






It's really a good thing that we know you people, your lies and empty and shallow chest beating......



lmao....

Igbos Lying And Its Negative Consequences For Them.

Igbos lying = Igbos challenging the demonic propagating lies about Igbos through the lagos Ibadan powerful media axis.

It's Negative Consequences For Them = Because of our Envy towards you Igbos, we yorubas will conspire with Hausa/fulani for the second genocide.


It's really a good thing we know you people, your lies and Empty and shallow chest beating. .... = you just discovered them, because the facts about them were kept away since after the war by the powerful lagos Ibadan media axis until the arrival of internet/blog sites/social media. 130 million or so Nigerians can at present access the Web through their phones.


your lies and empty and shallow chest beating. ... = because they have finally stood up, en powered by the forces of globalization, Internet/blog posts/social media to challenge the powerful lagos Ibadan media axis lies and demagoguery against the Igbos to the facts in the open world of globalization and Internet.



Mr. Yoruba man listen!!. CONTRIBUTION within the Nigeria context is the 12 words that have damaged Nigeria beyond repair because Hausa/fulani/yoruba lack the ability, capacity, the request skills and scientific means to define it appropriately for the modernization, transformation and overall development of the country. When you combine it to another 7 words CONTRIBUTION/CONTROL, you produce a hell on earth called Nigeria.


Yoruba man, I am going to list some associated words with contribution/control in Nigeria and have you connect the dots for your self on this open platform. Yorubas are smart and sophisticated and therefore will not have much problem connecting them cos, I will not do it for you


CONTRIBUTION/CONTROL, Natural resources from states/region,.........% contribution towards the G D P. Human capital(as contribution towards the nation) like skilled labor pool, entrepreneurial abilities, talents in sports and etc, natural attributes, like beauty, cultural adaptation and receptive to change like viable diasporan population like remittances in billions and etc


Indigenous manufacturing and services like auto, motorcycle, textiles, transportation and etc. Importers of ideas through extensive traveling, agriculture, entertainment and etc. Pls, don't attack my person, just connect the dots any how.

https://books.google.com/books?id=AMmPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA67&lpg=PA67

I don't believe Olivier Pétré-Grenouillea is an eastern Nigeria or Routledge is an eastern Nigerian company, you may have heard of it though.

No. I already addressed the 'best agriculture' statement when I said I was referring to different regions in Nigeria, go back and read that original post because it did not say anything in direct reference to only eastern Nigeria. The bone of contention is not agriculture, the facts here are about palm oil being the first industrialised trade in Nigeria, which it was, and this fact was under the questioning of what were the 'firsts' in eastern Nigeria, and the palm oil industry started in eastern Nigeria which was the first industrialised trade and main economic pull of foreigners to Nigeria, I mean, it matched the slave trade. Your source on Lagos exports shows that, with inflation checked, Lagos wasn't half of what either Bonny or Calabar was processing and exporting individually (not palm kernels, oil) and that Bonny and Calabar 'monopolised' the trade to Britain at least.

So now that we know this fact, you're now trying to question the sources, which is ridiculous because one is a Routledge published book (available here) that references a Cambridge Academic book specifically based on the palm oil industry in west Africa. You can simply say you do not trust Cambridge University and Routledge because they are eastern Nigerian sympathisers or something. I don't know.

Okay, Calabar was the capital of Oil Rivers Protectorate and then Southern Nigeria until the Lagos colony was added as an administrative centre in 1906. The point remain, Calabar was the first capital of Southern Nigeria which is where the palm oil trade was based and hence the point about the capital of the oil trade and so on.

Oh, and look where the Oil River Protectorate, the precursor to Nigeria, was based.

eg page 8 where it shows export of £280000 of rubber Where do you think this rubber was coming from? Which part of Southern Nigeria produces rubber




The Term Southern Nigeria referred to what became Eastern Region those are the territories that UAC or its predecessor company RNC held on Charter. In any event this was on paper as the British still had to fight several battles across Nigeria to final enforce what they had drawn on their maps. But the long and short of it is Southern Nigerian Protectorate was basically the Eastern Region though to a large part the Colonial government had not exerted authority over many areas that it claimed

Lt us put it like this . The country was not fully pacified for a long time after the British and Europeans signed their deals some communities never saw a white man until the 1930s and the other thing to bear in mind is in the East what you had was the Royal Niger Company and their mercenary army acting under warrant from the crown and so it would appear that even the British were still quite vague about what they wanted and what they were prepared to leave to the RNC which by the way is Unilever. I believe particularly in the Niger Delta there may have been some grey areas but definitely rubber was being exported in large amounts from Lagos. Lagos was referred to as Colony and Protectorate of Lagos. Even n the 50s there was a different passport for Colonials as opposed to Protectorates. It is an area I will admit I have read a lot about but still have many questions still I will argue that Calabar was not capital of a space including Ibadan e.g which was covered in the Annual reports for Lagos

No doubt at that time more oil was going out from the east but the gap was closing and by the 60s the West was a major producer not only of oil but Cocoa which was not even being planted in Nigeria at the time of this report

Interesting stuff though it seems to me that this is mostly Eastern Nigeria and specifically the Coastal areas .

On both sides it would appear that they were largely operating from the coasts I e Bonny Okrika Calabar and Lagos

And the River Niger to Aboh, Asaba, and Onitsha. Hence the Ekumeku movement in the 1880s-1910s.

Eastern Niger kicked off this industry. Industrialisation happened first in eastern Nigeria. Do you have sources for the oil gap closing?

1. Ritual killers, kidnappers, cannibals and human parts merchants, baby factory operators, drug dealers, distributors of fake products, fake pharmaceutical owners. That's why Igbos land is the World Capital of Ritual-killers, baby factory workers and quite erosive.

2. Fetish Juju charmers

3. Deadly cultists - Arochukwu, Abia, Enugu igbos part of river state; Achebe

4. Child kidnappers aka baby factories and Infant RAPE- Fathers raping their little children, mothers raping their little children, brothers raping sisters

5. Human eating restaurant destination gateaway – Anambra famous restaurant

6. Barbaric Rapists

7. Experts in Incestuous relations – Ex- Gov Chine and likes

8. Notorious kidnappers/ robbers - obigbo,
Kidnapping a big business in igboland: https://www.nairaland.com/778170/kidnapping-big-business-south-east.

9. Igbo leaders run drug business – Eze Igbo of Australia

10. Treasury Looters – Stella Oduah, Allison Madueke, T. Orji, Ifeanyi Ubah, Ifeanyi Uguanyi, Nngozi Iweala, etc


11. International Credit card, international drug dealers, internation rapists (i.e in India, UK), International fake goods distributor (i.e in California). Igbo men are notorious for killing their wives (especially in Houstan and Dallas texas)

12. Company wreckers aka fake certificate holders

13. Certificates forgers/Scammers – Phillip Emegwali; Stella Oduah http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/152824-aviation-minister-stella-oduah-scrambles-cover-certificate-forgery-scandal.html

14. Igbos are crabs in a bucket , no unity and violence anywhere they go– http://xclusive.ie/ezeigbo-title-tears-irelands-igbo-community-apart/

15. International drug peddlers – Igbo leader in Australia,

16. Political thugs aka politicians – Allison Madueke, Gov Chime, T. orji etc

17. Jobless touts aka IPOB Youths

18. Notorious Assassins and murderers – Cases in Houston, Dallas, and Igboland

19. Bloody Tribalists who rarely appreciate the good in other people – They hate anything Yoruba, Hausa, Fulanis, Ijaws etc

20. Notorious propagandists - Biafra local forum, Radio Biafra

21. Political liars and Supporters of Corrupt politicians- Cases of Allison Madueke, Saraki, elevating the political thief T. Orji from governor to Senator.

22. Loud, foul-mouthed Noise makers, chestbeaters, cowards, lazy, ill-gotten wealth from ransom money and distributing fake products.

23. Coward coup plotters – Ojukwu who ran to ivory coast while leaving 3 million of his people to die in a war he started.

Ojukwu- the greatest general in the history of Igbo peole- knelt, wept and begged Yoruba people to forgive the igbos for their senseless declaration of war, betrayed his people in the time they needed him the most.

24. Treacheerous Back-stabbers ( All igbos who disowned Biafra, Ojukwu, MASSOBs disowning the Biafran leader, Igbo people disowning GEJ after the election, Igbo ELDERS)

25. Over 95% of Nigerians who have been executed in India, Malaysians and Chinese governments FOR CRIMES RANGING FROM DRUG ABUSE TO DRUG MAFIA ARE IGBOS.

26. Igbos are the worst pirates sabotaging the hard labour of people round the world! They bootleg Yoruba-produced movies and sell it in the black markets. They’re petty traders who make fake products without giving credits to its owners. They sell fake pharmaceutical products to unsuspecting patients. Their movies are senseless and hardly being watched by Nigerians themselves.

One funny thing about the parasitic leeches called the igbo tribe is that many of their wealth are ill-gotten. While Yorubas focus on IT companies, Igbos focus on kidnapping rich victims to gain ransom money, sell drugs in the international market. Many of their greey leaders, like Allison Madueke, Stella Oduah and Ifeanyi Ubah get their wealth from unknown source. Look at Nngozi Iweala who siphoned millions from the Nigerian government so that her son can direct a movie in America. Or Madueke who tried to buy mansions in Hyde Park, UK with the money she stole during GEJ’s administration. Ask an Igbo man how he got his money and you’ll hear “drugs”, “oil block” and “political prostitution”.
That’s why Yorubas and Hausas control Nigeria’s political terrain. They’re smarter and more qualified. Igbos are too greedy to hold high positions, when they do, they usually go to court for corruption and fraudulent cases.

Igbo women are big time prostitutes – Biancar Ojukwu who dates FFK behind Ojukwu, Afrocandy, Cozzy Ojiokwor, anna Banner, etc


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ2UzZrgwxg

The remaining lazy Igbanzas ingrates believe one cannot achieve success save by ritual-killings, kidnapping and selling drugs oversea. You will find them on Austria and American most wanted lists.


In the SE Okija is implemented in every local government and all SE States. Our gorvenors (i.e T. Orji) use the Okija to gain money and to win political campaigns. This is in addition to Inbreeding, child molestation, bank fraud, credit card scam, certificate forgery, internet fraudsters, fettishness/juju, terrorism, thuggery, kidnapping, IPOB touts, etc.

Igboland - The World Capital of Ritual-killings/Kidnapping/Drug mafia/Fake products/ Foggery/ Scame

So much for Igbo ‘businesses’, more like ‘messes’!

Igboland is indeed the undisputed Ritual/ drug dealing Capital of the Whole Wide World.
See the list of the Dark Spots operated by these ‘businessmen’ and bile-filled cretins operating in human forms. Even their cops/Inspector general of police are into kidnapping of innocent rich Yorubas to gain riches. They rape women and held them hostage in secret houses, then they sell their babies to make profit.

Shrieking unclad with an industrialised economy how many times the size of other parts?

Because the oil industry is putting palm fruits in drums and then magically getting perfect grades of oil. Hehe.





Lagos received electric and phone lines because of European quarters and its administrative position, same as Calabar.

Eastern Nigeria is the industrial nucleus of West Africa and probably tropical Africa judging from the biggest markets. Asaba has always been a counterpart to Onitsha than anywhere else.

That was true at one time but it was equally true for Nigeria now Nigeria imports palm oil. It is a matter of palm oil you produce excess when there is demand and at that time there was demand while the other areas had other priorities . Africa did not export any cocoa 100 years ago so what?

Was palm oil the only thing in the Lagos Colony? The reports reflect the power of the colonialists to extract wealth from their colonies and not the size of the economy e.g they got a lot more in Lagos from palm kernel rubber etc so really you are being economical. If you want to compare by all means do that but try and make a comparison that does justice to your level of intelligence

Yeah, but we're talking about firsts. And the first major economy using industrial methods, although crude, was in eastern Nigeria.

Please stop talking like an OMATA the total value of exports that year was £880000 it was more or less the same thing on the other side .What does that tell us about SIZE OF ECONOMY Nothing !! It only tells us about goods that are of economic interest to a single customer. That is all so if for example the level of export was at a ratio of 1: 100 we cannot deduce size of economy as you are so ignorantly trying to do.

In fact a bigger economy may even import more i.e run a trade deficit as e.g the US has done for more decades so restrict yourself to what you comprehend fully
You have not provided evidence for your industrial methods claim if they were the first what method exactly and from what date at what location

And what made up the rest of the economy of the 1850s? What was the deficit on brass imports in the 1850s? You tried though.

Here's a palm oil factory in 1890s Calabar:
