According to news report, out of the 15 most failed nations surveyed was carried out, ten were African nations. these include Somalia (1st), Zimbabwe (2nd), Sudan (3rd), Chad (4th), Dem. Rep. of Congo (5th), Central African Rep. (8th), Guinea (9th), Ivory Coast (11th), Kenya (14th), and Nigeria (15th). The position of our dear nation shows that we are rated among red zones, that our society is vulnerable to failure, but not TOTAL FAILURE oh. its a sign that the area is dangerous and could experience violence sooner.

States Research Centre defines a “failed state” as a condition of “state collapse” – i.e., a state that can no longer perform its basic security and development functions and that has no effective control over its territory. No doubt that such definition typifies d kinda system of our government

the best five nations, which were described in this report as having the most sustainable state include Norway (177), Finland (176), Sweden (175), Switzerland (174), and Ireland (173). Ghana, Ghana yesterday emerged the best state in Africa, ranked 124 and classified as moderate state. We nid to go back to our drawing board to adopt mitigating strategies for a sustainable development

Ghana yesterday emerged the best state in Africa

Ghana deserve it.

Very pathetic, isn't it?

Ghana the best African country?

Kai!!! We don really fall.Not so long ago, these people flooded Nigeria as immigrants.Took up jobs as teachers,civil servants and artisans.Nigeria was the new America for them.Today, we no even get mouth where dem they.They don't even want us there.So many colleagues of mine have relocated to Ghana, some don build house for there sef.Now i understand.This geopolitical joke called Nigeria is doomed.

a very worrying trend.

The Niger Delta oil slavery is the reason Nigeria is there.

Beaf:

The Niger Delta oil slavery is the reason Nigeria is there.

I agree. Weird that Kenya is rated this badly as well - I understand the election riots are a reason, but I did not expect for it to do so poorly.

Is Ghana rated the best out of subsaharan Africa or out of Africa (North Africa inclusive)?

Observations aside, I guess these lists are a necessary evil for a kick in the pants. But how necessary?

Without them we fare just as badly

@ Poster please attach the source,want to see the full report.

Ghana deserve it 100%.They have been making extremely good strides towards a well structured society. Kudo's tothem

I can also remember back in the day when there were a lot of ghanaians in Nigeria growing up. Infact 90% of my primary shcool teachers were gahanian and dem sabi flog person no be small.

I pray the oil in the south finishes so the country disintegrates.It's inevitable.It cant be prevented.The country is already a dysfunctional state.The only glue keeping the "nation" together is the greed of a selected few to suck the resources dry.

dont be suprise.we are not supposed to be 15th,they made mistake,
Governors jump to PDP, to ANPP,etc from abc to cba,

there is politics in location of everything,ajaokuta,PTI,millitary schools,etc

There is politics in health sector,medical doctors want everything and fight others from improving,go to some optometry clinics in govt.hospital you see only trial csae,but when they go abroad for medical check up they use slit lamps ,authorefractors,phoropthers,prismbars,mordern ophthalmoscope,keratometre,etc,go to dept of medical lab science,they lack modern equipment,the pathologist who is a medical doctor is trying to use force with the help of medical doctors controlled ministry of health to  control another profession,tell me why will medical doctors be administrators,when they are not trained to be one.They stop memo from reaching others, they hide memo that will benefit others,they interprete memos,letter to suit their profession,the engineers,teachers,clergies,etc keep quite,some dont even know what is happening.some know and say  whats my bussiness.The same thing is happening in Niger delta today and in few yrs to come only God know what will happen.It happened during civil war,it happened with the recent haram boka crisis in maiduguri,
I  picked a single sector-health,so check out others so who say we are 15th,we are not better than zimbabwe,if mugabe leaves Zimbabwe today, that country will change positively.

soon Nigeria will die(usa and sony okosun said this even before now)

Nigeria is still in early development stage due to external interference following "independence". She will regain her balance and rise to glory in recent times
