LegendHero:
Truly during the 1900s before the region became autonomous, if you are to merge the south together (Western and Eastern), we generated more revenue than the Northern Region.

However when each region because autonomized, On average the Northern Region contributed more to the federal government than the Eastern Region.

Now talking using the data of the 1954s until oil boom:
Most of the revenue of the Federal government comes from Custom & Excise, Direct taxes, License & Internal Revenue, Mining, Rent on Government property, and etc.

The Custom and Excise duties is the highest source of revenue for the government and infact it contributes averagely 60-70% of the revenue.

The custom charge export duties on agricultural produce entering into world trade. The major produce that generates the highest revenue are :
1. Cocoa
2. Groundnut
3. Palm Kernel
4. Palm Oil

Sometimes, palm oil and palm kernel alternates between the 3rd and 4th spot.

Note: On average, the Western Region sells more Palm Kernel than the Eastern Region based on the Nigerian Government gazette from 1957-oil boom period.
Lo and behold,an abomination!!!!!!!


See the abomination I always talk about!!!

What nonsense are these ones talking about. How much revenue does agriculture brings to the FG? Agricultural practice in Nigeria solely and individual affair with almost zero tax to FG.

True, never underestimate the value of a common enemy. Once the common denominator is out, things will fall apart. I think it’s the major reason why Biafra will not be actualized. It will be hard on Igbo people, but just as hard on the others.

We buy all the things the north produces, but they share proceeds from the oil produced in the south. How can I buy your cow and you turn back to say you are helping me.. Is the cow meat freehuh

I have been to about 20 states in Nigeria, been to 5 Geo-political zones except the N.E and I can't tell you that Nigeria is a beautiful country.

But her leaders have soiled it with hate and tribalism and had/continues to use it's followers to stoke the polity.

This is a very big lie.
Foods from the north were sold to the southerners, not given for free or even subsidized

Every revenue realized in each region then was used in developing the region, not shared among the regions.
Unlike now that the crude oil revenue is shared among all states.
Maybe you're still asleep; wake up. This is 2020 and not 1965; be guided.

Don't mind those idiots.

I guess their poor level of education led them to utter baseless facts.

"United we stand, divided we fall"
Its core concept lies in the collectivist notion that if individual members of a certain group with binding ideals – such as a union, coalition, confederation or alliance – work on their own instead of as a team, they are each doomed to fail, and will all be defeated.

I only believe in FACTS - Not emotions


Nigeria has the 10th largest oil reserves in the world [1]. However, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria's petroleum industry contributes less than 10 percent of Nigeria's gross domestic product (GDP): 9 percent in 2015 and 8 percent in 2016.

Agriculture and oil are not enough to get the country where it needs to be, what we need is SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY.
This is what got China, India, and other Asian countries out of poverty.

Without SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY, we shall remain 3RD WORLD for the foreseeable future.
