Most of the taxes went to London then ,and was redistributed to the Colonies based on.need.

Besides, that was then. Now, we are a import dependent, unproductive country. What is your government doing about it?
Re: How The North Has Been Feeding The South Before Independence-photo Speaks by psucc(m): 9:03am On Jul 20, 2020
This is quite true. That was when we had a nation. It was based on regional government where each was allowed to exploit its resources and develop at its pace until the devil came.

Now the north still has the large expanse of land. Can it go into Agriculture while the south also exploit its resources?

Will they agree on resource control?

No! The parasitic north can never stand on its own

Pls what has been the contribution of the East from pre colonial era to the present day. Has there ever been a time they contributed more than any region?
Re: How The North Has Been Feeding The South Before Independence-photo Speaks by badaru911: 9:18am On Jul 20, 2020
Waw, surprising.... But what about from 1970 to 2020? If they sum up the contribution of southern part, especially the oil region.., it will swallow the contribution of the northern part more than 1000 times..

South east is the most unproductive region in the country since the day of amalgamation hence their desperation to force south south to an unholy marriage.

Parasitism is not good ....!
If North had half of what is being paraded here at any time in our history as a Nation, there won't have been Nigeria of today...!

Each time the guilt of Parasitic hold on the South is felt by the North, they just pull out any dirty lies to console their headslamming empty coconut heads...! Terrorists

How come this was written in 2014 , what is the title of 1949 British document it was culled from?Lord lugard merged southern and Northern protectorates because of debts in the North.

If North was truly the backbone of Nigeria,how come they dont make more money than the rest of the regions with better machinery,technology available in 2020?

Re: How The North Has Been Feeding The South Before Independence-photo Speaks by LadyExcellency: 3:13pm On Jul 20, 2020
What kind of stupidity is this?
Nigeria operated regional government and not a central government or a Federation.

There was nothing like spending Northern resources in the East or West. Pure lie.
The 30% tax by the Colonial Master was used in running the Government and her Majesty's errands.

So, what's the hold up in this century? No evolving with the times?
Anyway, what my eyes focused in is the expenditure for education. I'm sure everyone can see the outcome.
