Cocoa is not an African crop it was brought from Brazil by Europeans . By 1914 Cocoa was a relatively new thing According to history the earliest cocoa farm in Nigeria was in Calabar and Bonny around 1870 but the land was not suitable
It might interest you to know the same is true of Cassava and now Nigeria is probably the largest producer in the world.That is the simple explanation

Ofemannnu:
I think that piece was written by an Ojukwu but if it was written by baba then he did not do his eesearch well because facts are there to show that Yorubas still lead in tertiary education which is the real education and not the miracle centres WAEC etc.
Yorubas also lead in Business,Politics,Music,Middle class,Infrastructures,Development,Less poverty than any region,Technology and ICT...Yorubas control 80% of this sector.The other tribes are not mumu so they will want level up and surpass the Yorubas too Fortunately Yorubas are still breaking new grounds in achievementsYorubas are not gods and they can be challenged and overtaken.But as things are now,they are still the most successful.This is an internet age.Baba should use the internet if physical research is too tasking.Long live to him even if he was the one who wrote this unresearched article.

Ikechukwu48:
Like fucking DUH?

There are more mining companies in North alone than the entire SOUTH put together. They rank than many southern state in that your data.

Ikechukwu48:
Okay I give you that, what are those minerals?

btw: Did you even read the introduction?

The data excluded companies/industries that aren't registered meaning only companies registered with the FG are accounted in the stats..those that didn't even bother are not included and marked of.

Case in point North which holds the Highest mineral in Nigeria and higher that southwest combined and yet their percentage is low..very low. Maybe southwest now has more minerals than north ba?

You should have looked at the first page/introduction before even coming here

Ikechukwu48:
Is that supposed to be your contribution?

We asking what are Yoruba contribution and thi as one is providing IGR that counted lagos as part of SW and the income from lagos was generated from oil companies, seaport and other tribes companies residing there.

This is just shameful as the minutes goes by. Chen

Someone, anyone, biko



What are Yoruba contribution to FG account

ikarm17:
Yorubas provide innovation and growth to Nigeria.


In addition to being politically savvy, the SW is currently diversifying her economy while some touts keep shouting "Yoruba Yoruba, we hate you".

Ikechukwu48:
Ministry of steel have not produced a stats in a long time dummy. That's why I called your brother an idiot in his fabrication
NBS deals with the human development sector of the country plus agriculture
The steel deals with the mining

Do you know how many months I've been waiting on them to provide/produce a stats on the mining of that country and till date, nothing.
Here's the link to the Ministry of steel
http://www.minesandsteel.gov.ng

If you find any recent data, please post it up here cause no doubt I would sincerely love to read it. No joke.

Ikechukwu48:
NA me tell your brother to not know the difference between NBS and Ministry of Mines and Steel Development? Na me tell am? I just advise you to let him know next time he's doing his propaganda

And which delta state is worse than southwest? Nwoke if I catch you there sef eeh. Come on get out

Ikechukwu48:
.

Article written by ADEWALE with ZERO link to back it up despite claiming it comes from NBS

Oh by the way, NBS does not deal with the mining production of Nigeria statistics. That statistic comes from Ministry of Mines and Steel Development

Pass that message to Adewale for next he wants to do propaganda.

Ogun is an industrial hub yet ironically, it's one of the state's that declared bankrupt/broke. Someone explain this to me. What happened to the income from the so called "industries"?

thesicilian:
China is taking over the world in almost every aspect of life. I'm even surprised to see Nigeria in top 3 in Africa. Kudos to our boys and girls at Computer Village & Aba.

Ikechukwu48:
So land is una contribution. So it's not the industry bringing money, it's the land. Okay kwa

See this one...Seaport? Who uses the seaport the most in that country? Tell us.

Airport? Really?

CSTR2:
You keep talking of petty business. Yes, we control the petty business and SME in Nigeria. That is a fact which I accept.

Since I joined this forum I have noticed lot of bile nd hatred btw yoruba nd igbo's(though yoruba's are also giulty),but igbo own is to much.
I could remember when the biafra issue was still hot one igbo gal(maybe ganisucks) said her dream is dat igbo's shud invade s.west nd conquer the yoruba,take lagos from them nd also send them to cotonou to die of poverty,nd dats her real dream nt biafra.
Yesterday ibadan made it to top 10fast developin cities in africa nd a guy'betterakwaibom'went ahead to open a thread showing slums in ibadan just out of hatred,nd we all know onitsha is d dirtiest city in africa.
Today there was a rumour bout lagos to be made the 2nd capital of nigeria,this would be a great developmen for lagos,but the igbo brought there tribalistic self into the thread nd was bitchiing.sayin atlast lagos in no man's land.well lagos towns,city,street would still maintain its yoruba name,its yoruba king,nd after english yoruba would remain the most recognised language there.the controllers of lagos would remain yoruba's nd if nigeria divide it would remaina yoruba land.one igbo guy even gave thumps up to the northern law makers(I though they said they hate the north),nd he said north nd east lawmakers shud unite nd support the bill,but he wants s.west senators to help igbo's demand for referendum.

To the igbo's I thought the north is ur number one enermy,why all the evil campaign against yoruba's?.are u dat confused

zuchyblink:
The link above shows Africa's most economically valued minerals. How many are in afonjas enclave?

zuchyblink:
''Mining is not something to brag with. For the facts that SE resources are untapped doesn't mean they don't exist. In terms of minerals,ur Ogun is nowhere close to Enugu coal or Over 25 solid minerals in Ebonyi. The limestone in Ebonyi dormant because of the closure of Nkalagu cement by 'One Nigeria' mining will start when Ibeto finishes his cement plant
