Nigeria's Life Expectancy At 47 Years Lowest In West Africa by reemix123(m): 5:05pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
Life expectancy in Nigeria is now 47 years, making it the lowest among West African countries, the Project Director, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Prof. Abdulsalam Nasidi, has said. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news-update/52122-%E2%80%98nigeria%26%23039%3Bs-life-expectancy-lowest-in-west-africa%E2%80%99.html |

the Prof said it how are the Captain Naija's of Nairaland gonna defend this 1, corruption to the nonsense point is very deadly indeed and even worse, when the people can't hold their leaders responsible but rather defend them , the Prof said it all........very painful to see such a potential country go down the drain |

This is really bad. But -I think that life expectancy is largely based on infant mortality rates. Nigeria has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world hence the low life expectancy. Now how likely is it for a fully grown person to live longer than 47 in Nigeria versus another west African country? Probably bad, but not as horrible as you might think from the statistics. Yes I am playing the devil's advocate. |

No matter how bad the news is...some naija people are never bothered at all, hmmm! anyways, i know about the above claim for many years now... i saw people packed in Family cars and coming home from churches on sundays in nigerian and they drive with absolute no regard for the lives of fellow nigerians using the roads!! i was shocked at the recklessness of sunday christians not yielding an inch for other fellow naija people to pass! so, why is anyone surprised at the stat? oh, i forgot...the western world made it up |

That is not true-Life expectancy in Nigeria is low but she is not the lowest in west africa. Sierra leone, The Gambia, liberia, Guinea..Infact i can tell u Nigeria is abt the highest. I work with WHO in sierra leone and i can tell sierra leone is about 32. And other countries have close indicators. So i dont know where this man got his own figures. |

Don't forget number and fatality of road accidents and poor/ inadequate health care (type and availabiltiy of service, procedures and relevant drugs). I'd rather the government sorts out these problems before building new mega cities and planting trees! Don't get me wrong, these are nice things, but not more important than proper health service and safe roads- these are real problems that should be addressed cos they affect most, if not all, of the population.... Don't forget malaria and HIV and the ignorance/brainwashing which makes certain 'tribes' reject vaccinations because its ''western'' (just stating a fact and not attacking any ethnicity/ religion). |

$tunna:Nigeria is already boiling with religious crisis, reason why we have to watch our statements. Is it only "sunday christian" that is guilty? What about other days of the week, who is responsible? |

Creating health awareness in those areas can help curb the menance but i think their standard of living should also be looked into |
Re: Nigeria's Life Expectancy At 47 Years Lowest In West Africa by Nobody: 3:07pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
Illiterate, worthless FAKE ''Prof'' Abdulsalam Nasidi propounding outdated, misleading statistics in order to extort money. Nigeria's Life Expectancy WAS 47 years about 6 or 7 years ago, but has now increased to just over 52 years, showing incremental progress. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13949547 That should give ''Professor'' Dunce something to think about. |
