Lagos has been ranked the second most stressful city in the world for the year 2021 in a study conducted by Vaay, a German firm.

The result of the study was based on an index of 100 major global cities comprising over 15 factors, each ranked on a scale from most to least stressful.

The report said, “To begin the study, we considered which macro factors contribute to stress, narrowing them down to four broad categories.

“The first category looks at governmental factors that dictate levels of inclusion in a city such as safety and security, gender and minority equality, and socio-political stability.

“Following this, we considered the effect of the physical environment around us since it has been proven that high living density contributes to anxiety and stress.

“We did so by assessing population density as well as pollution levels, weather patterns and the amount of traffic congestion in each city.

“To evaluate the impact of financial stress, we looked at unemployment rates, social security structures and the amount of disposable income a household has after tax and accommodation costs, adjusted for purchasing power parity, amongst other factors.

“Finally, we considered health and wellbeing, specifically looking at mental health and access to healthcare as influences on stress levels.”

Lagos, which ranked 99th on the list was the only African city in the bottom 10 with an aggregate score of 19.9 while Reykjavik in Iceland ranked 1st with an aggregate score of 100.

Some other African cities on the list included Johannesburg, 49th; Algiers, 78th; Nairobi, 80th; Dakar, 84th; and Cairo in 88th position.

The bottom five most stressful cities in were Baghdad, New Delhi, Manila, Lagos and Mumbai while the top five least stressful cities were Reykjavik, Bern, Helsinki, Wellington and Melbourne.

Lagosians dey try. E be say Lagos collect 'second most' title this year. #UpAbuja#

It should be number one. Even Baghdad is better than Lagos in terms of stress.
Driving from Mile 2 to Badagry is like a war Zone since 12 years ago.

People that live in Lagos have engine oil as blood, they breathe in carbon monoxide and breathe out oxygen

Ehhhh!......

We don't have to worry about this analysis conducted by a german firm popularly known as (vaay). Cause am very optimistic that in due time gov sanwo olu, will fix this, and lagos will be the (Newyork City) of Nigeria. A city less stressful, well secured, and massive infastructural development for the ease of doing business.

Lagos stress has no rivalry

That's why when some persons come, they run back and start shouting Lagos is a shithole, slum from their villages..

Lagos is very very very competitive.
There's 10,000+ banker better than u
10,000+ physician better than you
10, 000+ Marketers better than you
10,000+Physicists better than you
For a apartment u want to rent for ₦200k there are 10,000 person that want to pay ₦500k
Think you have one connection, when you come, that your connection dey learn for where 10,000 person connection dey.
Where u come from they call you God of trekking, come and check 10,000+ person's shoes and u go hail

So many person in your field better than you.

So it highly competitive, and human nature doesn't like competition.

Yorubas have destroy Lagos.

Stressful Lagos truly..

But second in the world , hell No

Ibadanpikin:
Yorubas have destroy Lagos.

You could have pointed your blame to same people that claim of developing Lagos..

I can't point those people,because without them Lagos would have become a slum like Ibadan,Ado ekiti,Akure,Abeokuta etc

I see, it's logical to say if Igbo's are the one who developed Lagos, then Yorubas must be the one that underdeveloped SE entirely

There is no doubt, they deserve it. They should even be number one and not two. The traffic alone in that city is a enough to make them number one and not two. Not to talk of their negative attitudes toward a strangers.
You can't park your vehicle and ask for directions from a lagosian without giving them anything. You can't enter their vehicle and want to alight, They will want you to jump from a moving vehicle thinking that everybody is like them. They lack patient. They are very rudes, angry and arrongant people. You can't spend one week in Lagos as visitor or stranger without them stealing one or two things from you.

Monogamy:
I see, it's logical to say if Igbo's are the one who developed Lagos, then Yorubas must be the one that underdevelope SE entirely

But at least south east do not boast of their brown roofs,mud houses and slum achievements,but instead boast with their different types of mansions,storey buildings and other assorted dishes sorry bungalows.

Igbos will soon make it less stressful. Igbos are the engine room of Lagos

Lagos wouldn't have gone this far without the Igbos. You know the truth

Oyo state alone is almost the same size with all the whole SE region in landmass.

Ogun state is a combination of 3 SE states in landmass.

Imagine upon how Tiny your region is you guys couldn't develop just 1/8 of the region but having some ridiculous thought of being the best in term of development in Nigeria..

Btw, have all the houses with brown roofs in SE have been demolished ?

Lagos City does not need to be congested if there is a good road and train Network. Soeone can live in Abeokuta peacefully and work in Lagos without undergoing any form of stress. But the leaders are not putting up their thninking cap when formulating policies that will guide their developmental plans.

Please stop.. Today is Monday morning...

You will disappear when someone ask you salient questions now...

So don't be George Finidi this morning.. Stop

Moving from Oshodi to Iyana Ipaja is like travelling from Abuja to London. Lagos need an intra City and Inter City train Network. Mega City for mouth

Not a brainer...
From traffic to commuters rough driving to the noise pollution et al.

The ever increasing population of commercial traders and working class makes it impossible for Lagos not to be stressful.

@Seniorwriter

When I talk now, some low class trash, would make it an issue of tribalism..........
