Following the report of the World Economic Forum for 2011/2012, Nigeria is ranked 120th out of the 142 countries sampled in the quality of roads category. With a point value of 3.1^*, Nigeria ranks below the standard mean falling behind many African countries such as Namibia(31), South Africa (43), Tunisia (46), Rwanda (48), The Gambia (52), Botswana (53), Kenya (71) e.t.c. Only six African countries appears to rank below Nigeria, they are Madagascar, Lesotho, Burkina-Faso, Angola, Mozambique and Mauritania.

A picture showing this ranking is available below...

^*This rank means that Nigerian roads may be largely underdeveloped by world standard.

You actually mean that there are some countries in this world whose roads are worst than Nigeria roads? SMH ...

SlyIg: You actually mean that there are some countries in this world whose roads are worst than Nigeria roads? SMH ...

I am astonished too.

I wonder how bad the roads of the countries that are following us are. Their roads must be hell on earth.

I wonder how the quality of roads was calculated by the group.

I wonder you guys get all the fictitious reports from... By the way, going by ur presumption...we dey try jor.

You need to read the World Economic Forum report to know that it is not fictitious. So many issues were tackled in this report and Nigeria appears to be at the lower rung of the ladder in many of them.

at least we no carry last

Another survey should be done on the number of jeeps in each country of the World. I'm sure Nigeria might be among the top 30 countries globally.

Nigerian road is hell on earth....

Super1759: so we are not the worst self.(We will get there, keep it up FRESH AIR)

Akin-David:

Remember to take another route next time. Dont pass thru a reasonable thread like this. Just wondering if you are for or against Nigeria being one of the countries with the worst road network!

I can authoritatively say this report is a big ruse! C'mon, u mean naija roads that are good enough for F1 racing rank this low?

How can Russian Federation be ranked below Nigeria?

Do you get the feeling that the rankings may be based on information supplied by the individual country with out independantly verifying it?[img][/img]


Russian Roads

So we our roads beta pass Ukraine and Poland? How Brazil come be 118th? Even Norway..80 something?

GenBuhari: How can Russian Federation be ranked below Nigeria?

Do you get the feeling that the rankings may be based on information supplied by the individual country with out independantly verifying it?

I also beg to differ with those rankings... I have been to Russia and Romania and their roads are far better. Even some of the rural areas with no tarred roads still does not make dem worse than Nigeria.

RedMosquito!!! Where art thou?

This report also says that Nigeria ranks 122nd out of 142 countries in terms of wastefulness of government spendings. At least, we all know that our government is very wasteful. This is also confirmed in this report.

Since US can be 20th,Naija try nah!

namibia 31th? even before australia and ireland ?

impressive

Minion: Ur Wickedness! What do you have to say about this?
Hades: There is nothing to be said, young one. Nigeria has bribed her way out of last position that's all
Minion: Oh my god!
