Waiting for the government of Nigeria to share Oil-Money with each of the citizens does not help the population. The amount of oil sold to abroad is looking high. Per Nigerian citizen the oil export accounts for USD 502 per year, USD 41.84 per month, USD 1.39 per day.

Nigeria is considered a rich country by Northern Hemispherians. They do not assist. All they want is taking advantage of the Nigerian resources and her population.
