Buhari come to leadership just to take care of his ill health, and he is doing successfully. That is how bad it is .

I’ve learnt very long ago that statistics can be skewed/ manipulated to suit the need of whoever is preparing it.


All this is to condition the subconscious mind of the unsuspecting populace towards a greater future cause.


So they are basically telling us that life in nigeria is worse than life in Syria or Zimbabwe or even Venezuela as it is at the moment or even Palestine where Israel has blocked all land, air and sea access to the people in that area basically locking them in a real life prison.


My level of exposure won’t allow me the stupidity to believe all this propaganda aimed at programming the mind of the people.

Someone that will reach 90 will reach 90 while someone that will not get to 30 will not, even in the country with the best health services.
Besides, I am not the owner of my life but yet I won't die young. Even at UN headquarters, many obituaries that are very young and died untimely death. So what's their wahala. Me choose to leave long, me choose not to die young.. No matter the naija wahala, in our house, we no dey die young, its a taboo. I must surpass my papa at 87years in good health. Amen.. Anyone that believe and support their useless figures can die untimely, na your wahala.

Always interesting how no one knows the population of Nigeria, but “know” how many extremely poor people are in Naija and our AVERAGE life expectancy (which requires population data to calculate). Garbage in, garbage out.

Yes Because we are too dumb, partisan and docile to tell ourselves the truth. Everything is politicised in this country, you cannot conduct an accurate data collection exercise like population census, birth/ death rates etc without a political group, party or tribe falsifying the information because of vested interest and selfish gains sad

Shitty country.

Lol, very unfortunate situation, despite the huge natural resources available in the country, the wealth of Nigeria is in the hands of few bastards called politicians and they have stolen generational wealth that will last them and their families for their life time, anyone still praying and hoping that Nigeria go better is either stock in the country without cash to flee or living in denial or needs to be checked into a rehab center for brain surgery grin

Nigeria?
So u don't know that anyone that attains age 50 has achieved such a big feat.

If one can get to 50 in Nigeria means that person can reach 100 - 120 in better clime.

Leaving and surviving in Nigeria is such a task worthy of applause, especially in this NEXT LEVEL shit we are in.

Fake news, where is the link to this info on UN site? Just checked wikipedia and the last ones were 2015 and 2017 and Nigeria’s life expectancy was 53.
O boy which of these is better? This is not about politics it's about holding our leadership accountable. This outcome is a culmination of all past ineptitude leadership that have we have produced. The sad thing is that the present leadership seems lost on what to do. I sincerely hope that the team that PMB will put together for his second term will begin a new life for us. Last four years have been a waste like previous ones, we can not afford another unproductive four years.
By the way, when you reconcile this report with the comments of Chris Ngige on Medical Doctors brain drain, will you be surprised where we are now?

Meanwhile, I reiterate that beer-parlor anecdotes are NO SUBSTITUTE for hard data. Pele that people die around you everyday (perhaps the company you keep cheesy), but it has little or no substantive nexus with national statistical data. Without reliable data, this is all GARBAGE!

It helps to read the book by Daniel Levitin; A Field Guide to Lies and Statistics: A Neuroscientist on How to Make Sense of a Complex World or the Risk Savvy: How to Make Good Decisions by Gerd Gigerenzer.
There are lots of statistics going around and the average people are very stupid to even understand what is going on.

The United Nations (UN), has revealed that Nigeria's life expectancy is the third lowest in the world in its new report released on Monday. According to the United Nations Population Fund(UNFPA), Nigeria's life expectancy which is the third lowest in the world in 2019 is placed at 55 years.

It was further learnt that the life expectancy of an average Nigerian in 2019, is only better than those of people in Sierra Leone, Chad and the Central African Republic.The three countries have respectively 53, 54, 54 years as their life expectancy rates, the report states. War-torn Afghanistan has 65 years; Somalia has 58; and Syria has 73.

Truth by told, all these bad and negative index is as a result of these northerners they merged with us. Without them , the south will have an average ranking.

Poverty rating ... because of the north
Security rating ..... because of the north
Economic/ employment rating.... because of the north
Religious instability........... because of the north
Fanatism/ terrorism ........ because of the north
Over population........ because of the north
Health.......... ......because of the north
Per capital income.......... because of the north
life expectancy....... because of the north
Education............. because of the North
etc.

Nigeria is rated low in almost every good thing because of the north. No good thing comes from them. They are the one drawing us back.

I believe you but you should know that all those countries you mention are having more stable electricity than Nigeria. They have better roads than Nigeria. What do you think that reduces life span? It is unnecessary stress. You have a chance of long life in a war zone with basic things than in a assumed peaceful area

I naturally dont like replying this type of comment becus i know ur type. But sadly, u arent exposed as claimed. See, FRSC released a report and said about 1500 Nigerians died in road accident within three months!

Now, i know that is not even the actual figure. Most of those who died are less than 50 years. The rate Nigerians die, aside countries fighting war, it is rare to see any other country citizens die like that..

Do u see how fulaniherdsmen slaughter people? These people they kill are less than 50 years. There are many unreported cases. My babe schooled in delta and i know many times she told me how funaliherds men attacked a nearby community, kill at least 6 persons but such was never reported..

Few weeks ago, my friend called me and said robbers came to houses in their street, and robbed but injured about 15 persons with machetes. On the way to hospital, four died, no one reported such death..

All of the victims were less than 50.

How about people killed by ritualists? Many are not reported daily. I lived close to police head quarters sometime in the past and I know the rate they were bringing victims of ritual and kidnapping..

Then, many Nigerians use self medication due to lack of accessible health care system. Many people prescribe drugs by themselves.. Many people have heart issues but dont know. They suddenly die. Few days ago, a young corps member just died few days after his traditional wedding..

many people in Nigeria are living dead! Why? No clean water, no proper health checkups, no quality health care that is affordable. The good hospitals are usually crowded..

Baba, that report is even fair enough. It is worse for men, men die like chicken here.. In fact death has become a normal news in Nigeria. No wonder u hear report of 50 persons died in an attack and everyone goes about with their business..

it actually not, stop being naive. The age you see is a mean representation of life expectancy
it didn't state you will die by then. Nigeria has become very dangerous over time and go out and have an idea of the death rate going on in this country. Not necessarily through war but many other things.
