How the rating is calculated

The liveability score is reached through category weights, which are divided equally into relevant subcategories to ensure that the score covers as many indicators as possible.

Indicators are scored as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. These are then weighted to produce a rating, where 100 indicates that liveability in a city is ideal and 1 means that it is intolerable.

For qualitative variables, an “EIU rating” is awarded based on the judgment of in-house expert geography analysts and a field correspondent based in each city. For quantitative variables, a rating is calculated based on the relative performance of a location using external data.

CATEGORY 1: Stability (25% of total)

#WeCanDoBetter

Just like when the white man wrote in the history book that colonialism was a force for good and you guys swallowed hook line and sinker - so also this. colonialism was forced take over of a land and meant no good.

This EIU report is same thing - will they tell you australia or canada is least livable? Of course they wont! They will tell you its african countries lol.

thebosstrevor1:
Visa ban because of Twitter

Pdp and many Nigerians are still suffering from the effects of colonialism, no wonder they can die for a company in America but not for a Nigerian company

It may take several generations for the effects of colonization to fade. By the way, Nigeria did not "gain independence" from Britain; Nigeria got FREEDOM from colonial rule. It will be embarrassing for Britain to call it "Freedom", Nigeria gained Freedom from UK in 1960, hence the evil british used the label "independence"

Twitter should be registered in Nigeria and pay tax to the Nigerian government. Same as Facebook and Google.

You don dey mad...How those countries take be third world countries.
Germany has times 100 of Nigeria Economy and they re 100 times more developed
Same with others countries you listed.

When you are showing your patriotism pls dey talk truth

It's not by size of economy. Any wealth they have today was mostly stolen from Africa. We have Abuja rail, Lagos ibadan rail, nice e expressways. How exactly are those countries more developed than Nigeria except for the ones they stole

THIS MAN IS A USELESS MAN, WHEN THE FULANIS TERRORIST KILLED THE INNOCENT IGBOS NON OF THE IGBOS POLICTICIANS STAND UP TO CONDEMN THE EVIL THINGS DONE BY THE FULANIS... ALL OF THEM ARE NOW AWAKE FROM THERE SLEEP TO TALK RUBBISH.. BUNCH OF IDIOTS... FOOLS.... STUPID PEOPLE AND MAD PEOPLE...

Do you know anyone in your extended network that has been affected by suspected fulani herdsmen? Chances are not because 90% of those stories are false. Punch newspaper is especially guilty of saying "suspected fulani herdsmen" for crime done by anyone in an attempt to heat up the polity and discredit the democratically elected administration of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Retired).

See you are a victim of media propaganda. Whenever you read "suspected Fulani herdsmen", chances are its not true. I have a friend in Jos, Plateau and many areas, they have all told me that the stories are exaggerated. When next you read of crime by "suspected fulani heardsmen", think again.

You can't bit the finger that feed you..

The US is dealing with Ressain and China, let alone this shithole, a 3rd world country for that matter!

they cal you third world, after 100 year colonization wars on your land and you accepted it. Many European countries such as UK, Poland, Ukraine, Germany are third world countries but you will not believe it.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Hahaha.... we actually suspended Twitter, not banned yet .
This life ehn! Is this not the same President Muhammadu Buhari they said Trump called "lifeless ". So he can praise President Muhammadu Buhari
The Hillary Essien,the bigot who reported it for the blog platform couldn't hide his bigotry and hatred against PMB as a hypocritical Southern Christian. Very unprofessional reporting.

And I thought Nigeria was a shithole country? So in Trumps eyes something good can come out of Nigeria? Trump needs deliverance from racist views!

Karozy:
So what about Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen that has completely destroy the peace and security of this country, are they using Twitter to carry out their evil act, this government is confused and focusing on misplaced priorities

Boko Haram only operates in the north east. "Fulani herdsmen" is exaggerated by the media - criminals do sumfin and they are called "suspected fulani herdsmen" which is why nbc said they should start saying UGM to avoid unnecessarily heating up the polity.

TBD:
I totally support Twitter ban in Nigeria, Twitter has became tool for IBOP to destroy and destabilize Nigeria, how can a right thinking man follow KANU that is in London to kill your own brother ? If you are like you (Igbo) claim on everything you will call KANU to come back to Nigeria lead you peoples.

Don't mind these idiots. I 100% support the Twitter ban. I don't want my country destabilized.

Wisefellow:
Why does INEC prefers and still adopt polling units system for elections in 2021. No reasonable progressive thought of adopting and implementing electronic voting system, comfortable from our homes! Must people come and queue to vote with high level of insecurity in Nigeria?

Cluelessness everywhere.... amongst politicians, agencies and parastatals.

Don't mind them.... there are better ways to vote!!

Why cant banks be polling units?? Go to ur nearest bank and cast ur vote or cast ur vote from internet banking. Those that prefer these will use it. Those that prefer going to polling unit will go to polling unit....

Commentor:
If France is responsible for some of the atrocities in Africa then...

France currently has 5400 troops stationed in the sahel. I.e. Mali car etc. Imagine anywhere you go in Lagos, Abuja, kaduna you will be seeing soldiers. Imagine the psychological effect on you. It's been like that in Mali and CAR for at least 5 years under the pretension of fighting jihadists as if AU, ECOWAS and UN military can't fight the jihadists. We don't need the French in Africa.

The honourables look like they're more useless than Buhari.
Una no walk out cos of this daily bloodletting by buhari's Fulani soldiers, na b/c of twitter?
Ndi ara

You hit the nail on the head. Twitter affects them and their children thats why! The other "leaders" like Senators etc are just same.

Mikekan30:
I swear Canabis is the new oil money, countries like Canada and USA are benefitting from this striving industry...

Canabis are used in producing alot medicinal purposes, agriculture, fertiliser, drugs, etc..

It a billion dollar industry,
Great one Akeredolu, if there is a vision in diversity, Nigeria will go far..

Those countries now have more deranged ppl, more psychos and more car accidents.

SmartProf:
This man's evangelism on cannabis cultivation & legalization in Naija has been with passion. Akeredolu has been a loud voice on this issue. If he is made minister of agriculture anyday in Naija, as his first 100days achievement he will display cannabis plantations in all states including desert areas.

More accidents in Nigeria with legalization of cannabis. The man is a white slave. He is only clamouring for it because uk usa and Canada legalize it so to him it must be right.

Cannabis is not right for Nigeria now.

Naijabad:
I am surprised at your stupidity. I thought you're intelligent.

99% of Igbos are in support of Biafra. The remaining 1% are the political class.

Now let me shock you, conduct a referendum in old eastern region, if we don't have 99% in support of Biafra, I will denounce it.

Ohaneze ndi igbo and other igbo groups are not in support of Biafra.

Omihanifa:
Nigeria's influential pastor TB Joshua, who has died aged 57, was considered a pariah among the country's mega-televangelists and struggled until his death to be accepted within their circles, despite amassing millions of followers across Africa.

Ostracised by both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) he was described as an "impostor" who belonged to a group of "occults" that had infiltrated Christianity.

But Mr Joshua was no different from the other televangelists who have held many Nigerians in their grip with their "prosperity messages" since the early 1990s.

Most of them are more dramatic and perform the same "miracles", but Mr Joshua - who headed the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) - was not part of their clique.

"He was rough. He was crude. His methods were unorthodox," says Abimbola Adelakun, assistant professor in the African Studies Department at the University of Texas.

.

The problems those countries have are internal, not the cause of external factors.
Chad for example has had tribal tensions, and these have not been handled well, as has CAR and Mali.
All in all, the problem with most African countries is that they run 'sharing cake' economies, not productive economies. If African countries were ready to be productive, most of this conflict would have ended.

By sharing cake...I mean most African countries sell raw materials and use the money to import. When group A feels left out of the sharing, they complain and insome event take up arms. If group B feels left out of the government postions, they cry marginalisaiton, and eventually may take up arms.

That's Nigeria and many other African countries, even the peaceful ones.(Tanzania is an exception because none of the tribes there have an absolute majority)

If anything...France has been a stabilising force, not a destabilising one...and I say this at the risk of being called an imperalist. France has prevented the situation in Mali and Ivory Coast from degenerating into worse.

(Funnily enough the major power in CAR now is Russia. plus some UN troops.).



Nigeria has always run a British-friendly foreign policy regardless of the government.



White supremacy is not dependent on there being chronic war in Africa. If anything, white governments won't mind peaceful and prosperous Africa...it suits them better, provides a market for their goods, and helps them get raw materials sans stress

A peaceful Africa benefits the whites more...supremacist or otherwise



Most arms used in African wars prolly come from Russia and china. The UK is not the leading manufacturer of arms it once was.



Again a peaceful Africa is better for mining companies...they don't have to pay protection money to all sorts of warlords, and gangsters along the way.(Many telcom/it component manufacturing companies would love it if the Eastern Congo was peaceful...no more payment to local warlords X and f for protection to transport tanzanite!) They can just simply pay taxes, transport their goods, and make a huge profit...



I don't like NK or Biafra agitation...but accusing him of instigating secession..is one thing. Actually proving it...that's another thing. COURTS rely on evidence, not on allegations. This does not mean MNK is innocent...it just means that you need a lot more than just 'he is instigating violence'.(And there is evidence some of the violence is being provoked by other factors too).

A peaceful Africa isn't better for mining because labor cost will go up and the locals will realise the minerals belong to them and fight for their share. It's divide and conquer.

360degreess:
..you are wrong.the OP is right.white people are evil.

Notice that boko haram, iswap and Isis do not operate in uk, France or Germany. These organisations only operate in countries that are either former colonies or where they have strategic interests.

I once read somewhere online that speculated France could be "sponsoring jihadists" in Mali and CAR

Fahdiga1:
You already have your answer. IPOB is loved by sane countries

Ipob is a rebel group used by the West to destabilize Nigeria just the same way they use other rebel groups to destabilize Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso and CAR. They now want to use the same strategy in Nigeria.

For anyone that closely studies African politics, it is clear that the former colonial powers (UK, France and Germany) have never really left Africa alone since they physically left. In Chad, CAR, Mali, France is always looking to install proxy Governments that will do its bidding and meet its interests. Francophone african countries are also required by colonial law to deposit 50% of their reserves into the French treasury and to award public sector contracts to French companies.

Nnamdi Kanu is a British citizen in UK. This is pure speculation but UK could be looking to:
1. Install a Government to do its bidding.
2. Cause war in Nigeria to maintain white supremacy - which is to say - "look at Africa, all their countries are at war"
3. Cause destabilisation in order to sell arms and make money.
4. Cause destabilisation in order to win mining contracts.

The British Government, if it does not have ulteror motives should either take Nnamdi Kanu to court for instigating session/ war but should also send him to Nigeria so he can be on the forefront of the war he is instigating.

IMAliyu:
It's not only that.
It's that Nigeria's economy has gone down hill under the Buhari administration. The national debt has increased, as well as unemployment, Our currency has fallen by over 100% in the last 6 years.

And the feeling of ethnic/regional division, has never been as high as it is now.

And he hasn't solved any of the problems the previous administrations had, electricity, education, corruption.
The one department he's made effort in is transportation, with the railway projects, even that, it seems Nigeria is getting duped by the subpar quality trains we are being provided.

Ok you have valid points...

shiwex:
I don't blame you...one eye man in the eyes of blind people.......maybe you should leave that Zoo and see what standard of living is like in proper countries... In a sane country buhari will be in old peoples home....

for standard of living you need to blame the Governors; Illinois residents do not blame biden for their standard of living, they blame their Governor.

triple996:
Buhari a man with balls
He no send anybody see as Twitter come mellow. Don't Bleep with d retired general . Haters can keep hating buhari don talk him own go and die

Buhari is a good president the only issue is boko haram and insecurity. If his administration can solve by end of today then it's good.

LilMissFavvy:
This administration has really ruined the image of Nigeria in the eyes of developed nations, will things ever really be the same again when Buhari is gone? Hopefully!

Those nations you call "developed" aren't really developed. I know cos Ive been. France UK and US should be seeking for a good image in the eyes of Nigeria and to be in Nigerias good books.

FreedomWinsNow:
Google is worth $340 billion. What is $190m.

And Nigeria is not France. There is free speech in France.

Black man - reason properly.

It's the Europeans that need to reason properly. Black man is the greatest!

Farki:
Black leads that's why thousands of Africans risk drowning on ramshackle boats to enter their countries and young men marry 60 year old women for their passports.

Because for over 200 years, British colonial administrators made Africa a war zone. Independence is only on paper. England wiped out over 50000 Kenyans, their generations are still in anguish. Germany apologized for extermination of 80000 Namibians in 1904....the descendants of the deceased are still in mental anguish.

France no wan leave francophone African countries alone.

Just the same way illegal British and German migrants came to our shores then is the same way we are going to their shores now. The conqueror writes the history books; don't let them deceive you.

Lifestone:
Nigeria leads here. God bless Nigeria, our land shall be healed again

We are gradually healing from the colonial brainwashing and dehumanization that has affected generations that purports that everything foreign must be good and everything nigerian bad.
