Nigeria Is The Most Stressful Country In The World- BLOOMBERG by citizenisb: 7:02am On Jul 18, 2013
While anti-depressant use is surging in Sweden (up 1000% since 1980), bursting in Britain (up 495% since 1991), and up an astounding 400% since 1994 in the USA (with 1 in 10 on some kind of 'prozac'), it is the poor-old Nigerians that should really be complaining. Based on seven variables, Bloomberg has scored 74 nations around the world for their "stressed-out" factor and finds the USA to be 54th (so stop whining and suck it up), Norway the least stressed-out of all and El Salvador and South Africa at the top with Nigeria (with the roiling Egyptians ranking 15th).
Bloomberg ranked countries based on the stressfulness of their living environments.

Methodology

Seven equally weighted variables were considered:

Homicide rates - El Salvador and Venezuela were the worst
GDP per capita on a purchasing-power-parity basis -0 Blanladesh, Pakistan, India, and Nigeria were the lowest
Income inequality - South Africa and Colombia had the largest Gini Coefficient (with USA 20th worst)
Corruption perception - Venezuela, Bangladesh, and Nigeria are seen as most corrupt
Unemployment - Macedonia, Greece, Bosnia, and Spain have the highest unemployment
Urban air pollution - Mongolia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Iran are most polluted
Life expectancy - Nigeria, South Africa, and India have the lowest life expectancy

The topic is misleading! It should be "Nigeria has the lowest life expectancy in the world!"...cos u fit no get stress but one bullet from a mad policeman could miss a bus driver that refused to part with N50 and hit you while you are coming back from work or an accident along Ibadan expressway etc.

Na una sabi.



So easy for you to point out the bad things here in Nigeria but will never say the good things here. Oil and gas you rob us of isn't worth making headline? How about: oh a lot of things are easy for we foreigners in Nigeria than it is for them in our country.

It's so true.
Imagine working for an Indian firm in Nigeria and they treat you like a slave. They know you won't quit the job because everyday many come and ask for the same job. That's stressful. Nigeria has no strong laws that protect people working in foreign owned private sector

PHCH has cut light at least 3 times in the last 24 hours and as I speak there is no light in our area. Solve the light problem and stress will reduce.
