"We cannot afford to continue using revenues generated from oil to run the Nigerian government at the expense of the Nigerian people." - #TooRichToSuffer

"Nigeria has made over $1trillion on oil since 1970 but cannot boast of a working health system or stable power supply" - #TooRichToSuffer

"With less than 40 years left on oil exploitation, Nigeria has no reasonable savings for the present not to talk of the future" - #TooRichToSuffer

"About 6 Nigerians become poor every minute and, more than 83million Nigerians are living below the poverty line according to statistics." -#TooRichToSuffer

"Nigeria runs the most expensive government in the world but has the pooreset people in the world." - #TooRichToSuffer

"Nigeria has the highest paid political office holders but the least paid civil servants in the world" - #TooRichToSuffer

"Nigeria government invest a fortune on elections but rather than invest in, see education as a means of generating income" - #TooRichToSuffer

Nigeria needs to reform its public finance management if it is to translate substantial oil wealth into equitable economic benefits for its citizens. Despite earning over one trillion dollars from oil since 1970, there are more Nigerians living in poverty than any other country in the world. According to the Brookings Institute, approximately 83.6 million people in Nigeria (estimated 43%) live in extreme poverty. Nigeria requires improved legal, policy and advocacy frameworks for the Excess Crude Account (ECA) and other Stabilization Funds to be more effective and beneficial to citizens. Importantly, every Nigerian has a responsibility to engage Government (at all levels) on this.

You're hereby enjoined to join the discussion and add your voice to the subject matter as citizens push to create public awareness. The very deliberate purpose of this awareness campaign would be to trigger the kind of effective public dialogue that can build political buy-in for a 'root and branch' reform of public financial management at the minimum, or (if possible) a full scale constitutional dialogue that pioneers issues referendum in Nigeria.
