motherlode:
Why won't it be missing when Nigeria has a corrupt government? We need change in this country? We don't want a govt that will borrow lots of money in dollars for long term projects that might not be completed in their tenure, we don't want a govt that borrows money to buy stoves( for whom? ), we don't want a govt that is ready to fight for power at expense of the lives of many Nigerians, we don't a govt who can't protect our lives, we don't want a govt which GOOD is scarce and BAD is plentiful in the country .
We need change, vote for BUHARI. He is capable of restoring the pride of Nigerians and Nigeria itself by the grace of God . GEJ out, BUHARI in.

Clap for ur self... Must u defend Nigeria blindly? Even Okupe and GEJ knew is true. Non of these countries listed experience power failure. In case u dont understand English.
DEM NOR DEY TAKE LIGHT FOR ANY OF THE COUNTRIES MENTIONED.

ask the ghanians if they are not experiencing that now..

If nigeria is not in that list , that means that is not a list at all, nigeria the whole world is voting to save their investments, ,i quite disagree with that list. Some thing is going wrong somewhere. This is my take.

Didn't expect much from Nigeria or from racist western media.

what do you expect from an american run organisation? I'm not surprised.

dude grow up! Stop blaming another country for your woes.

Quote from the actual article..

Education is a major pillar of a knowledge economy and a basic human right. Educational achievement leads to improved health and earning potential in the short and long term. Yet education is still a widespread problem in Africa. Consider Nigeria, where improvements in the economy have been substantial but education performance still lags behind.

In Nigeria, there are around 64 million people between the ages of 15 to 35 (more than one third of the overall population). Secondary school enrolment has grown significantly at 8.2% per year between 2000 and 2010 compared to a 2.7% population growth in the same period (Dalberg 2014). However, enrolment rates are still low and stand on average at 64% (primary) and 44% (secondary) in 2014 compared to 82% and 50% for 38 African countries.

Moreover, in this same period, the out of school population has also grown. Nigeria now has an out of school child population of 10.5 million, the highest in the world (UNESCO 2014). This deprivation is concentrated in Northern states (Adejoro 2014), and is higher for girls and women (UNESCO 2014). For those that do attend school, educational quality is a serious concern. Only 50% of Nigerians are satisfied with it and just 60% of the population believes that children are learning at school (Figure 1).*
…
A number of factors, both on the demand and supply side, contribute to the poor performance of the Nigerian educational system. On the demand side the main factors decreasing access to education include economic constraints and cultural norms, which predominantly penalise girls. On the supply side, the provision of inadequate school infrastructure (most Nigerian universities have a rejection rate of over 90%), insufficient quality, inadequate curricula, and poor learning outcomes play a role in keeping children out of school.

The use of education technologies and open educational resources, like the Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs), may be a solution to Nigeria’s education problems. First of all, technology improves access, by giving more the opportunity to attend ‘remote’ lessons. A group of Nigerian universities, in partnership with the private and public sector, is planning to launch the first major e-learning degree in the country. However, to be really effective, e-learning in Nigeria should be adopted also in primary and secondary schools and not only at university.

UNESCO Dakar, which has been running the PAJEF literacy project in Senegal since 2011, showed that ICT may help decrease the gender bias in education since ‘mobile phones, computers, internet and TV make literacy courses much more attractive for illiterate women’ (UNESCO Dakar 2014). A similar project was launched in Nigeria in May 2014. Moreover ICT makes books cheaper and available to a larger share of the population.1 The American University of Nigeria recently opened a multimedia library containing the largest e-book collection in Africa.

In addition, the use of portable digital devices (including laptops but also solar batteries and charging facilities) will allow scholars to remain engaged with their schoolwork when they are not able to attend classrooms as a result of health crises (for example, Ebola),2 family emergencies, bad weather, and local/regional conflicts related to current (and future) political/religious extremism (such as the Chibok girls in Nigeria kidnapped by Boko Haram). UNICEF Uganda, for example, developed MobiStation, a solar-powered ‘classroom in a suitcase’, which features a projector and off-line educational content. Educational programs that utilise tablet computing and rural localised Wi-Fi connected to Remote Access Community Hotspots for Education and Learning (RACHEL Pis) (‘hubs’) started in Nigeria in early 2014.
…..

Africa is lagging behind other regions in terms of MOOCs diffusion. The poor condition of infrastructure is the main obstacle to a larger diffusion of online educational platforms. For example, international internet connection in Nigeria has a capacity of 50,000 megabytes per second versus a world average of more than 900,000 mbps. Also, the diffusion of servers using encryption technology in internet transactions is limited (1.67 per million people in Nigeria versus 283 globally) (Figure 2). Moreover, only 48% of the population3 and 35% of primary schools4 have access to electricity.

There are, on the other hand, good opportunities for future expansion of ICT in education in Africa, and in Nigeria in particular. Indeed the large diffusion of mobile phones (Nigeria ranks 8th among sub-Saharan African countries in terms of household ownership of mobile phones), access to the internet (here Nigeria ranks 5th amongst African countries) and the falling price of ICT devices would support the success of this new educational approach. In order to increase access to educational technologies, the America University of Nigeria provides each student with a laptop on entry. Similarly, the Osun State government started distributing 150.000 laptops to school pupils in 2011 (Rwanda and Kenya have promoted similar initiatives).

In order to improve the education system and allow more people to lead prosperous lives, a transformation is needed within the ‘education ecosystem’ in Nigeria and technology may support this change. To increase the impact of these alternative learning approaches it is important to increase awareness of the benefits of digital literacy training and ICT in general, improve access to reliable ICT infrastructure, support the creation of a peer education network, improve the ICT skills of teachers and facilitate the utilisation of modern learning equipment and material (e.g. digital learning technologies). A partnership between government structures, NGOs, local communities, and the private sector is critical for the success of these initiatives

Thank you.Sometimes you wonder how Nigerians think.
They are bunch of shameless patriots with no common sense whatsoever.
Anybody against this list is insane.A country riddled with corruption, insecurity, poor infrastructures couple with bad leadership
Nigeria is a failed state,it is as simple as that.

Ehen before nko? is it not supposed to be missing? Abi is Nigeria currently prosperous ATM? face d truth bro

More details...

EzeeYFB:
ask the ghanians if they are not experiencing that now..

So because Ghana experiencing power failure now mean say naija is right for the power failure. Abi?

Rwanda more prosperous than Nigeria? How? Abeg some1 explain that 1 for me

[quote author=gunuvi post=28998225]How can the largest economy nut be prosperous. So many foools in nigeria as many are so myopic and full of hatred for GEJ that they forgot to realise that the rating if for countries and not GEJ. They are so illiterate that they don't know it affects us generally. Can I ask a question, is America a prosperous nation today? Some will say yes without looking at the reality on ground.
What I know is that America is not happy with the present government and its not cos of corruption etc, its cos for the first time we have a government that has called their bluff. Obama didn't visit Nigeria during Obasanjo regime because they already hated us becoming a democratic nation as believe it or not, Nigeria is developing daily and in a fast speed since democracy. That's what those western nation are not happy for.
I won't say more than this but any nation that is the largest economy in any continent won't miss a rating list like this. They are angry because we became the largest economy by our own handwork not by the white influenced economy of south africa.[/quote

My friend they are right. With exception Algeria,I have been opportuned to visit all these countries. I just came back from Kigali last month with Rwandan airways. Just out war ,where they are now,we cannot get there in next 50 years. It's not how much you have but what do you achieve with the much you have. As am typing now my battery is dying due to lack of light,these countries have constant power supply,water and better health facilities ,security more than Nigeria. Life has no meaning here. Those who have travelled extensively will attest to their rating. How can we get there when 80% of our budget is being looted. Can you honestly say the loot like this in these countries?When we admit we are in a mess and we make efforts to do things right,we shall surely get there but for now,we have not started.

obaayo2:

Especially after OBJ and exactly why they are attacking GEJ whom has partnered with China, to the demise of USA.

We don't Care, Because we know who we are... By the way, Naija, una 2 dy worry oh... no be person rit d list...dat means person fit edit am kwa... abeg mak i help solve d problem jor, removing Ghana and add Nigeria...case dismiss check the new list.

Am not surprised. The West knows the potential of Nigeria as a future economic power to liberate Africa from neocolonialism and economic dependence on the west. If you must know the West will rather have unknown countries like Madagascar or Djibouti as prosperous countries of Africa than Nigeria. The name Nigeria set their teeth on edge.

USA is so pissed at our relationship with Super Power China and the forced sales of oil blocks. We also cut imports of food and other goods, so Obama was pushing loans through EXIM bank to get American companies to export to Nigeria. I went to those meetings and they were claiming Nigeria is prime for exporting see hypocrisy. http://export.gov/nigeria/
