I'v shared your post in my head like a 1000times and I'm not being pessimistic, now imagine if I was.

if only nigeria can copy the economy model of Norway! norway is also an oil producing country but they made sure oil didn't determine how their country should run

Norway is in a different league, far apart from any other country in the world.
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has grown so much that it makes every Norwegian citizen a “theoretical” millionaire. While other countries have struck oil and then binged on the revenues, by contrast Norway is continuing to invest its oil and gas money in a giant sovereign wealth. The fund is currently worth about $850bn.

You lack comprehension skills. Did you read the title of the topic or are you just stup!d

The title says: list of best countries to live in the world: UN HDI, and not list of developed countries.

So in your own little world, because Norway is number 1 on that list makes the country more developed than the USA. Does Singapore on number 11, makes it a more developed country than the UK on number 14 or Japan on number 20. You are a ret.ard.

You are a real dingbat, the arrows mean they moved a spot up or down from the spot they were last year, and not their previous position, but how would you know that when you are a cretin. Mr blockhead, its not your fault though, my mistake was stooping so low to dignify you nincompoop with a response.
Hope you eventually get offered admission to that school in india, that you have always dreamed off. It is well with your soul, and best wishes for the new year plonker.

You have to be careful when using Wikipedia. Some positions of countries on the list you posted above have been altered.

hmmmm. the nairaland vigilantes will soon come for you

You know Norway is doing something right when you hear that over two billion people have moved out of low human development levels in roughly 25 years.

You don't land such feat by giving room for corruption to thrive like we've seen in the past administrations in Nigeria neither do you land such feat by making a mess of virtually every sector in your nation.

Nigeria is not even in the medium DI Chei

What's health sector like in Canada, is it fully privatised or something like the UK?

It's exactly same as UK. Free healthcare provided by provincial governments. One only pays for prescription drugs, but then again; these are usually covered by employers insurance benefits package.
