Nigeria rises on world prosperity index — first time ever
November 28



Nigeria recorded a leap on the 2018 Legatum Prosperity Index (LPI) of most prosperous countries in the world.

At 129, the most populous black nation moved up by three points from its 132nd position in 2017. Since the inception of the index in 2006, this is the first time that Nigeria would move up.

The LPI is an annual ranking developed by the Legatum Institute, a division of the United Arab Emirates-based private investment firm, Legatum.

The index measures prosperity using nine pillars: economic quality, business environment, governance, personal freedom, social capital, safety and security, education, health and natural environment.

Of these pillars, Nigeria ranked 139, 66, 107, 111, 48, 145, 123,143, 104 positions respectively.

While the giant of Africa rose 12 places on the business environment pillar, it fell one point in safety and security.

“In the overall Prosperity Index rankings, Nigeria has climbed by three positions from 132 to 129 when compared to last year. Since the Prosperity Index began in 2006, Nigeria has moved down the rankings table by five places,” the report read.

“In the Prosperity Pillar rankings, Nigeria performs best on Social Capital and Business Environment and scores lowest on the Safety and Security pillar.

“The biggest positive change, compared to last year, came in Business Environment increasing by 12 places, whereas they dropped one place on Safety and Security.”

Despite Nigeria’s rise on the ranks, the country, however, falls among the 20 least prosperous countries (red zone) and the report says “those in the bottom 20 face significant challenges across all pillars, especially in improving Safety and Security.”

In Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria is ranked 25th.

Norway, New Zealand and Finland topped the index, while Yemen, Central African Republic and Afghanistan came last three respectively.

“The measurement of national prosperity is an important task for governments and for those who hold them to account,” the report read.

“Prosperity entails much more than wealth, it reaches beyond the financial into the political, the judicial, and the wellbeing and character of a nation – it is about creating an environment where a person is able to reach their full potential. A nation is prosperous when it has an open economy, inclusive society, strong institutions and empowered people who are healthy, educated and safe. This leads to higher levels of wellbeing.

“The Prosperity Index covers 149 countries. The top 40 most prosperous nations are those that have demonstrated over time how to build prosperity. Those in the bottom 20 face significant challenges across all pillars, especially in improving Safety and Security.

“Prosperity has grown over the last year to its highest ever point. In the last five years, 113 countries have improved their prosperity. In many respects the world is getting better. It is now easier to start a business in many countries.”

Take the Dullard out and we won't be needing the "slow" but steady..

We ought to have been there many moons ago..

We were once rated the biggest economy in Africa..
Fastest growing..

"slow" have never been there..

In 16 years..PDP developed Nigeria in a speed of light .. knowing where the country was. ..pre 99.
But most of you kids will always come online to ask what pdp did in 16 years..


Modify..

Lots of 90's kids on my mention.. kids that don't understand what the 90's look under Sanni Abacha.. iIBB . And buhari.. regime.

Kids that are enjoying democracy .. without knowing what price was paid..
people wey no understand pre 99..

Now they've got access..

Whichever way..
Buhari ain't returning to villa next year..

It won't just work..

Nigeria must continue with developing not all this propaganda stories and competition .

Imagine if app has won 2003 election..

If a man decides to lie to himself and his immediate family, there is nothing anyone can do about it.
So it's rather good I leave you with your lies, blindness and corrupt lifestyle and wait for more reasonable people to converse with!
Cheers!

Clutching at straws.

Is this similar to the Martin Luther King award?

Stop embarrassing yourself, the last time we f
rose in the ranking was 2006! And you call it speed of light? Despite earning so much compared to now. In less than 4 years PMB has moved moved us up in 16 years of PDP disatee we moved up only once which was 8 years into their first tenure.

Adults should not lie so disgracefully

Sai Buhari

Hmmm many will die of bp today. kudos to the ever sincere hardworking pmb. there is hope with you till 2023.

Though I don't take most of these foreigners and their reports seriously because I never see or hear when they are conducting the research that give rise to most of their reports.

Even when I ask other people like; my friends, neighbours, colleagues, relations etc, if any body ever collected data from them, they say no. And you ask people in different locations and states, nobody is aware. And I find it difficult to understand how somebody can make reports about a group of people's standard of living or other relevant reports without obtaining information from as many people from the group as possible. And most of these organizations giving out these reports are usually not in Nigeria. so I think everything about most of them are bias.

APC PROPAGANDA TOOL. BUHARI THE ANIMAL IS GOING BACK TO DAURA

Keep on lying... Legatum ko, Lego ni

Seen is believing, you have big frogged eyes but you can not see. keep deceiving your future children. One day, sorry, many days, they will curse you and your sycophancy.

God bless Buhari!

I can attest to this, i became super duper richer under Buhari, and even the commoners became a lot better financially than the previous govt

The willfully blind can never see.
keep supporting thieves and criminals. one day your future children will curse you and your sycophancy

I think say na better news
Please what’s the difference between 129 and 132...
The only advantage 132 has over 129 is financial advantage

We the good people of Nigeria and the people from Sai Baba will be happening about this news but the bad people of Nigeria, who every news about Nigeria hurt them bitterly and the bad people of KANU will hate this news and call it fake.

may our lord in heaven heal them.

The reason is not far fetched.

Yahoo yahoo on d rise

In 10 years out of the 16, years of PDP we never rose even with one point but in just over 3 years of PMB we have risen 3 points.

PMB is definitely on track

God bless him and PYO

The bitter souls will still be saddened by this because all their hearts are filled with is HATE and all their brains can tolerate is BAD NEWS.

May the bad news only be restricted to themselves and their families, amen.

God bless Nigeria and all those who bless her.
