Nigeria Is number 14 On The List Of World Failed States by paraphase(m): 2:19pm On Jun 20, 2011
A failed state is a state whose central government is so weak or ineffective that it has little practical control over much of its territory; non-provision of public services; widespread corruption and criminality; refugees and involuntary movement of populations; sharp economic decline. Our beloved conuntry Nigeria is listed as world 14th failed state,what are you views?

I would like to see, the whole list, but I must say, nigeria is better than Liberia, and even the others below it. Our leaders are really restrategising, thats why they are taking their time in appointing the new ministers, they are really doing the necessary checks to get the best, and tring to screen them well, because their positions are very important ones, they are going to be siting on very important economic positions.

Lets give ourselves, our country some credit, its our responsibility to put our stake to the development of our country, in the different places we exercise our own little leadership.

We can be better, we sure can, we are just being assesed before the exams is written, like at the begining of the semister. wink

You need to check the link and see the parameters used. The ranking can be justified based on those parameters

Nigeria is no El dorado, but this ranking of Nigeria is grossly wrong. Tell me how can Libya, Syrian, and Yemen all in different stages of being war-torn be rated better than Nigeria. This is not an objective or factual list. It should be taken with a pinch of salt. Whie Syrian is curiously rated 48, Libya is not even on the list of so called failed states meanwhile Isreal ranks 54 on list. How skewed can a list be.

I found it so painful and sometime disgusting when our cheated and badly managed citizen still try as much as possible to exonerate our supposed leaders from their series of failures,whether Nigeria is in d 14th or 99th position, d fact that must not be overlook here is that Nigeria is indeed in a failure state.Nigeria is blessed truely, but can we say d same of our leaders,d answer remain "CAPITAL N O" .The only thing d latter were blessed with is kleptomania syndrome. Presently d only infrastructure I can think of, that is working perfectly well is communication and d citizen are paying fortune to enjoy dis,and dis service is not even provided by our govt. Our leaders has failed us, let the truth be told abeg.

Three African states -- Somalia, Chad, and Sudan -- once again top this year's Failed States Index, the annual ranking prepared by the Fund for Peace and published by FOREIGN POLICY of the world's most vulnerable countries. For four years in a row, Somalia has held the No. 1 spot, indicating the depth of the crisis in the international community's longest-running failure.

@Poster, are you certain you read the article? The list is of the world's most vulnerable countries, not necessarily FAILED STATES.

This list was made according to whom and which institution? Nigeria couldn't be the "best country" or whatever but I don't trust in this kind of rate things. This is an excuse for always bash the non "western countries" and always putting the others down especially African countries. Don't get me wrong I didn't say Nigeria or African country got strong gvt, but every country has its ups and downs, in France for example if you see the number of people who live below the poverty soil for a so called industrialized country it's quite a disappointment

So I think everybody should take care of its own domestic Affairs rather than rating.

paraphase:

You shoud read the full article and not just the 1st paragraph
I did read it and found it curious that the reference to failed state came in when known failed states were being mentioned, and no where else in the rest of the article.
Re: Nigeria Is number 14 On The List Of World Failed States by Nayah(f): 1:44pm On Jun 21, 2011
Superior 1 Cameroon it's not a disorganised or troubled country like Chad or Somalia, so I don't know why you're so surprised, I don't like gvt cause I think they could be much better than they are doing now but seriously is one of the peaceful and stable country in Africa.

paraphase:


Dont get it wrong,the most failed state in the world is Somalia followed closely by Chad then Sudan etc. This means that Nigeria is better than the countries above but we are still in the league of world failed states.


Maybe to you this list is justified, but to me it is plainly wrong and incorrect and i am not trying to be patriotic, just factual. can you explain the non-inclusion of Libya on the list except of course you believe Libya is not a failed state even with two governments. Ghadaffi in Tripoli and coalition of rebels in Benghazi.

The @Op gave you a link to the source of the data. If you do not like it, either

a) Direct your questions at the right people. . . . those who compiled the list
b) Or get to work coming up with a better list to convince people this particular one is wrong

Cameroon is there because there is tension in the south which is agitating for independence. It ranks very high on corruption and poverty index. It might not be peaceful for long.

Jerseyboy, this is a long story about southern Cameroonians, who always claim to be Cameroonian but request on more implication on gvt. The Prime Minister in a english speaking guy, they got unversities and English is a compulsory language in Cameroon, so that this is not an real issue in terms of unity. Cameroon has more than 280 ethnies living peacefully together and with our english speaking brothers as well. If something should happened, they would have been during the toughest period 60's and 70's not now. I know what I'm saying this is my country. Corsica and Britain in France have always claim their difference in France but France still one.
