This is one of the reasons why we must send Buhari packing. Fraustration is too much since he came up.

South Korea set a very high target for its
Citizens. The struggle to be perfect. I have never seen a country where the citizens are ashamed of their body like them. Two third of the population has dabbled into cosmetic surgery just to belong. Parents use that as gifts when their children graduate from high school. Their culture is very rigid.
I'm not surprised. They are the number one in cosmetic surgery industry, suicide and maybe alcohol.

Nigeria is simply poverty.

My brother (abi sister) no need to curb anything. This rating is based on the tendency to commit suicide in the presence of hardship. The kind we are undergoing. What they did not put into consideration is the resilience of the people. Suicidal thoughts is an uncommon thing to enter into the mind of Nigerians no matter what.

NaijaCelebrity:
Spectator Index has published a World Health Organization (WHO) study which ranked suicides per 100,000 cases. According to the report, Nigeria has 15 percent per 100,000, ranking as the 5th highest rate of suicide in the world

How can this be curbed?

Your report is wrong. Nigeria Is ranked number 71


Suicide Rate By Country 2018
Suicide occurs throughout the world, affecting individuals of all nations, cultures, religions, genders and classes. In fact, statistics show that the countries with the highest suicide rates in the world are incredibly diverse. For example, among the top five are the south Indian island nation of Sri Lanka (35.3 suicides per 100k), South Korea in east Asia (28.3 suicides per 100k) and the eastern European country of Lithuania (32.7 suicides per 100k). A number of other eastern European countries have high suicide rates, including Belarus, Poland and Latvia, all at around 22 suicides per 100k.

In contrast, the only western European nation with a particularly high suicide rate is Belgium, which ranks at number fifteen with 20.5 suicides per 100k. However, it is worth noting that Belgium has some of the world's most liberal laws on doctor-assisted suicide, which is likely to be a factor in its statistics. Interestingly, the country of Bhutan, which is famous for measuring Gross National Happiness, an index used to measure the collective happiness and wellbeing of its population, has a relatively high suicide rate at 11.7 per 100k.

Perhaps surprisingly, many of the most troubled nations in the world have comparatively low suicide rates. Afghanistan has 5.5 suicides per 100k, Iraq has three and Syria has just 2.7. It is not clear if the suicide statistics for these countries reflect suicides committed due to mental health problems and terminal illnesses (which are the primary reasons for suicide in most of the world), or if they also include suicides committed as part of the ongoing conflicts in these countries.

The lowest suicide rates in the world are concentrated in the Caribbean Islands of the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grenada, Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda. Suicide is almost unheard of in each of these countries, with Grenada and Barbados reporting 0.5 and 0.4 suicides per 100k, respectively.
