Just saw this on Forbes and I wonder how true. Is it this bad?

20. (Saddest) Nigeria

The best of the worst, Nigeria ranks 123rd overall on the Legatum Prosperity Index. Decades of corruption have squandered great oil and gas wealth, while new concerns involve sectarian violence. In this picture soldiers stand guard as people walk by near the site where a suicide attacker drove a car bomb into a Christian church in Kaduna, Nigeria, on October 28, 2012.

The climax of sadness is for one to commit suicide. How many Nigerians commit suicide in a year? Another false statement caused by "brain short circuiting".
Next time they will say Nigerian mothers are the most ugliest and some Nigerians will even agree. smh

if you are sad say "aye", if you are happy say "may God bless Nigeria"
May God bless Nigeria

Means there are 19 more countries with citizens more vexed than Nigerians. It isnt an issue if you ask me.

Our state of economy if taken into consideration, Nigeria should have been among first 5.

Where are this baseless statistics emanating from? How come the suicidal rate in Nigeria is negligible despite the alleged 'sadness' when compared against the 'happy' nations?

Country Annual suicide rate per 100,000 1.

Lithuania. 42.0 2.
Russia. 37.4 3.
Belarus. 35.0 4.
Latvia. 34.3. 5.
Estonia. 33.2. 6.
Hungary. 32.1. 7.
Slovenia. 30.9. 8.
Ukraine. 29.4. 9.
Kazakhstan 28.7 10.
Finland. 24.3
