I know that there are so many countries worse than Nigeria. Most of the people that compile these kind of lists don't even know anything about Nigeria. This is the same way some people talk about Africa like it's one country, saying Africa is a 'hell hole' and so on. It's disgusting cause most of them have never left their towns not to talk of their countries, not to talk of their continents and then they talk like they've gone all the way to Nigeria. Some people are so ignorant that they don't know that there are millions of white Africans (Algeria, Tunisia, Morrocco etc). All these compiled lists are just crap and are not to be believed infact the media is useless and most of the time, spreads false news.

absolute RUBBISH!!!.. What was used to arrive at this rating?

These people don't even know anything about nigeria asides the biased information they get from their media...

thanks for taking the words off my mind.

Where is somalia in the list? Although countries like afghanistan and iraq may be troubled, they still enjoy the basic things in life.
But I know there are worst countries than nigeria to be born, talk of somalia or mali or chad.

mister.hillz:

Hahaha
Pathetic

Was disappointed when I read all ur comments. U guys should know Nigeria carried last cos of our disinterest in keeping relevant use able data-

ogugua88: Considering that there's no Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, or Congo, one way to look at it is that Nigeria is among the 80 best nations in which to be born. We shouldn't rejoice, but that's another perspective because, last time I checked, there are more than 80 nations comprising planet Earth.

. My thought exactly. You are very smart and I like that. When everybody is thinking alike, then nobody is thinking.

Echika China: FAKE..... AND WHEN YOU SECURE AMERICAN OR BRITISH VISA, YOU VISIT UR PASTOR FOR THANKSGIVING.

How low can u go. No country would like to have your type as a citizen. I smh....

If I read the title of the chart correctly,it said "the where to be born index" not "the where not to be born index" so technically speaking, the logistics speaks good of my country Nigeria and not bad. Another way to label that chart is "80 nations where children will be better of in 2013" it only tells us we are in good shape and with little effort we should be topping that list.
Ileke.... How would you like to put to bed in afghanistan or gaza? WAKE UP my dear. Its people like you that kill our cultural values and promote racism.

After my sweet sleep last night,which kind bad topic dis early mõr mor
Even though people call me 'unfortunate oyibo'- am still lucky/happy to be born in my 9ja abeg

What rubbish post is this!


The people that said these things must be SILLY!

Make dem no make mistake enta 9ja! because na dat time dem go understand d meaning of 'worst place to be born!mtcheew!

The reason Y Nigeria was in dat list was because they know that Nigeria is a country with so much potentials but r not living up to it,so they derserve 2 b in dat list. Have u been 2 our general hospitals & see how our babies are born under rotten conditions.am sure a few of u were opportuned to be born in2 homes that can afford ur basic needs so u dont care or empathize ,to know what others r going thru. Critism put a person on d defensive,but a wise man will learn from it. Let us fight 2 make Nig a better place & prove to the world we can be better.

please, tell us how many countries there are in the world, its definitely not 80 and its not the worst african country, still beats some countries in some geo-political zones around the globe. things are bad, but to make progress...you have to value yourself, else, you'll end up jumping off a bridge. Beats Somalia, Rwanda, Mali, syria, afghanistan, iraq, maybe mexico, ... so we are definitely not the worst anyway

Rick Ross' video must have been used as a criterion.

Nigeria with Good leaders is the best country to be born, we have natural resourse to survive, Good weather, Rich lands for Agriculture. No earthquake, No horricane, just to mention few. Allah has blessed Us Realy!

Chai! See levels.

silica(m): There are 193 members of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the number 193 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there are still independent countries such as the Vatican City and Kosovo, that are independent and are not members of the U.N.
U.S. Department of State
The United States' State Department recognizes 195 independent countries around the world. Their list of 195 countries reflects the political agenda of the United States of America and its allies. Missing from the State Department's list is one entity that may or may not be considered a country, depending on who you talk to.

From this information, it means there 115 worse countries than Nigeria that you could be born into. If you feel My Nigeria is the worse place to be born, it only reflect where you stand now. It means your life isnt worth it, " meaning say your parents no try". As for me and my household, we couldnt have been born in a better country than Naija. If you no like am here, go hug trasformer or enter slave ship go America or Europe.

zeem_bab: Very funny.....

I always wondered if all these strange statistics are to bring Nigeria down.

Nigeria may not be the best country...but I have been to worst places on earth even outside Africa.

Mexico is an example of such place. A country that share border with almighty united state, but I thank God I was not born their.

Back home in Africa, Nigeria is far better with lot of opportunities than even Kenya ranked better us. Where is Sierra Leone, Guinnea, Togo, Congo,
Mali even Cameroon.

These are countries that when I visited, I did special thanks giving for being born in Nigeria.

I would like to advise that we should stop posting sensational news that drag the name of our country in mud.

We are far better than most of these countries....just imagine how possible is it that Nigeria produce the richest black man on earth with staggering $12 Billion worth if it is the worst place to be born.

I wish to appreciate the two posts above.

A lot of nairalanders read just without stopping to think first before making their comment. We seize very opportunity to run down our country.

Things may not be rosy here but opportunities abound and new ones are opening up everyday. I love Nigeria, no matter what we are passing through, we are not what others thing we are.

*Ileke-IdI:


Is that a question or a statement

And you made the same mistake you were trying to correct. where is your question mark? Did you eat it?

drnoel: Was disappointed when I read all ur comments. U guys should know Nigeria carried last cos of our disinterest in keeping relevant use able data-

No..No no. I think nigeria carried last becos, they judged us by the amount of well reported, negative news they read on the internet without actually paying a visit. Nigeria in bad shape is good news to the global. Come to think of it, how many times does Nigeria make the headline in good light. There are lots of great things happening in the country that wont make the headline simply becos Nigeria's good news is not news to the world. They would rather read about boko haram, bad roads, corruption and all that.

make wuna no dey beef naija joor

pipo weh dey born for naija don die abi dey neva grow up to become great peeps? na wa to wuna oh!!
