The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) which is the research arm of The Economist Group, publishers of The Economist magazine has ranked Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos as the 2nd least livable city according to its Global livability report 2017. The ‘Centre of Excellence’ as the city is fondly described by Nigerians placed 139th in the list and only the Syrian capital, Damascus ranked lower at 140.

Melbourne, Australia is ranked as the best city to live in the world followed by the Vienna, the capital of Austria. The trio of Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary complete the top 5.

Tehran, the Iranian capital has improved the most on the report in the last 5 years, it currently ranks 127 followed by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, they are ranked 74th and 129th respectively.

The EIU rating is calculated using 5 weighted categories; Stability (25%), Healthcare 20%, Culture and Environment (25%), Education (10%) and Infrastructure (20%).

Lagos scored a total of 36 points out of 100 on the ranking compared to Melbourne which scored the highest with 97.5 points, Damascus scored the least with 30.2 points.

So, what do you think? Is this a fair assessment of Lagos?

So environment doesn't include weather?

How can those freezing temperatures of Vienna and Vancouver be better than tropical environment?

I'm reading a lot of comments being made off the indices used in arriving at that. Going by those things listed, Lagos definitely deserves to be there, and perhaps even way up on the ranking.

Many people can not see logic in what they read.

140 best cities were selected and Lagos was ranked 139th which is not bad at all.

Therefore, Lagos is one of the best place to live on earth.

Simple logic.

Why would they show it ?... Do you think they are stupid like we Nigerians that have tribalized everything. Igbos will carry drug, Una go rush publish am go frontpage. Yoruba will do ritual,skull mining, una go rush publish am.. Bokoharam nko ., una go rush. Until we learn how to keep some certain things out of media, Nigeria will be one of the best country.

First make sure you came into Lagos with a sound trackable idea , don't move when the rat race army of Lagos moves because that's when the stress comes up , don't live where the rat race army of Lagos live , don't worship in the same church with them ..Nobody on a rat race dream can enjoy Lagos I swear .

The economist don't know what they are saying

Lagos thats abroad to many people, home to the largest concentrations of blacks

It might be worst to foreigners but certainly best to us residents

Its a joke. Monrovia and Freetown are better places to live than Lagos? How can Lagos be on a par with cities in warzones such as Damascus? OR even a city like Karachi?

These people seem like they would want us to buy their attempt to demarket prominent african cities.
Re: Lagos Ranked As One Of The Worst Cities To Live In by Suplexx: 4:12pm On Aug 17, 2017
I prefer the serene life in many cities in Nigeria to Lagos. Lagos is too rowdy, too congested, traffic is too heavy for life to be sweat. Movement is a problem. When I worked in Lagos, it was hard coping with 'go slow'. I worked outside Lagos and 5 mins drive I am at work from GRA

Abeg, life no be suffer wey we fit avoid

So far no other cities in Nigeria are not on the list , that means only Lagos in recognised in Nigeria ,all others are villages.
Consolation of the afflicted. Who does not know that abuja is the capital of Nigeria. Maybe the slums in Lagos, fetched it the prestigious global honour.

Its not rocket science to come at this conclusion and am not surprised by the performance of Lagos. By the way security is not one of the criteria used in ranking so quit talking about Lagos being a safe place to live.
