As more people are becoming more connected so do the issues that affect us as a world, according to the recently released Human Development Index (HDI) for 2018.
The annual report by the United Nations Development Programme usually measures a number of factors to give a comprehensive overview of development. Thus, instead of focusing on economic growth, it looks at other factors such as health and life expectancy,
education and standard of living.
The report sampled 189 countries and territories, rating them on how they performed in the three main categories.
Here is how Africa’s top 10 countries fared.

You no suppose put this country in the list. Even though their country is developed, mentally they are not developed.

Abeg replace am with Namibia jawe

If Nigeria prides herself to be the giant of Africa, then I wonder what these countries listed above will call themselves.

What about Nigeria??

Even with a place like Lagos that Tinubu has developed for the past 16 years, couldn't make Nigeria make the list

I think it's a blanket statement. No country on the list is problem free. Namibia has a long way to go before displacing a few of the countries listed talk more of South Africa.

When i saw Libya, I concluded the list is a hoax
