"Since 1960, over $600 billion in oil revenues has flowed into Nigeria's coffers; it represents an opportunity unavailable to much of the developing world. These petrodollars could have been spent productively, could have transformed agriculture, laid the foundation for an effective public education system, provided much-needed infrastructure. Yet, according to the World Bank, of that $600 billion, $300 billion has simply disappeared into overseas bank accounts through theft and corruption."
I have another source document that insists that $400 billion was looted. By the way, Oby Ezekwesili and others use these figures...
