Nigeria is now 15 from 18th place.

We're slipping

Don'y worry we are aspiring to be at least first 5 by 2020

With a good yardstick, we should be the worst.

Na today?

Why is the country doing so well in reverse gear?

Negative attracts more negatives - we be masters

In 2006 Nigeria was not amongst the top 20, three years down the line we are number 15 - at this rate we will be number 1 in 5 years time.

America should be on that list. At the last count, it was the most indebted country in the world. If the magnitude of American indebtedness does not qualify it for failed state status then that list is meaningless.

Am having difficulty understanding d bolded sections above.
Can we explain negatives with positive words -doing so well?

Yeye Satanic Nigeria,

     Alert
     Warning
     No Information / Dependent Territory
     Moderate
     Sustainable

Yet they keep sending their citizens to work and make money in a failed state - what an Irony.

WilyWily:

Yeye Satanic Nigeria,

Are you the same WillyWilly?
Willy Willy's responses always amused me and had truths in them.

WilyWily:

Yeye Satanic Nigeria,

This is extremely a sorry case, and you want this country to be a blessing to you and your family living in there?

You will agree that both forward movement and backward movement are movements all the same and each of them can be used to attain some desired objectives. If Nigeria's objective is to constantly move backwards irrespective of the wishes of most of her citizens which are not in tandem with that of her leaders, and the country keeps breaking her own previous records in backward movement, wouldn't you say the country is doing well in her desired direction of movement?

Nigeria is a Devil, a rotten failed state. Satan Headquarter

Stay there and bemoan while others bless her and she blesses them in reward, what you cant give, you cant get, what you can give is what you will get in return, when you curse her, watch how she will return your curse one million times over.

Now, this is logic.

The Nigeria is already a Curse and i wish you goodluck if, it's your wish to wear the Curse.
DOWN TO SATANIC NIGERIA

Roflmao!!!!     Why am I laughing and crying at the same time? lol  The above is painful yet hillarious!!! lol

if we are anywhere beyond 5th position, it means the ppl involved do not have enough information about nigeria.
april 2007 polls alone was surposed to lift us up to the envious position of 1st.
to crown it all, we are this shameless that we are the most travelled ppl on earth. a country where criminals are the elder statemen.

You mean a country where her citizens travel abroad to another man's country and steal and criminalise the country? A country where the youths know nothing but to become fraudulent and live that as a normal way of life? A country where the citizens ask what has the country dont for them and not what can dey do for the country.

of course we are a failed state,

are we not failed?
what is moving forward in Nigeria,
The british gave the abokis weapons to fight against the only reasonable people there.
And we are all trapped in hole digged by Fredrick Lugard and his Wife,
That ius where our histpry started.

Ofcourse it is

It is the people in nigeria that have failed lilly livered bastards

ROTFLMAO.

What a funny thread

Should the fact that the information is on Wikipedia give Nigerians hope?

Sadly, I can't fing Ghana on that map.

Lets stop clowning about the reason 9ja is on failed state alert.
Nigeria is not there because the govt. is corruption. It is there because of the Niger Delta crisis, religious riots and other areas in which the govt. has lost control.

"Common characteristics of a failing state include a central government 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; and sharp economic decline." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#2009 (same article)

If you think the direct reason is corruption, you are failing.

When life hands you lemons, smile and make lemonade. and when the world agrees that your country is one of the most backward in existence, rub your hands together with glee, secure in the knowledge that your "anarchy tourism" business venture will soon be fully booked with adventure seekers from the West who will  pay hard currency to visit ground zero and experience the squalor and soaring crime rate first-hand.

who is responsible for the list sef?

Na aboki
