Debaiz:Oga... if you are not a health care affiliate you may not understand how bad things are in Nigeria. Just so you know, Nigeria has the highest maternal and infant mortality rate in the world at 840 deaths per 1000 live births. infant mortality rate is also one of the highest in the world. These statistics alone makes it ominous that our life expectancy will be very unimpressive. We only make up for these many deaths with our high fertility of about 5.5 children per woman which is also one of the highest in the world. The NDHS has helped in getting these data and hospital records whether at a PHC or teaching hospitals are kept judiciously in recent years. Nonetheless, I have an impression that these reports may still be underestimates. Think about this... in 2016, I was an intern at a secondary health care centre that has a Heart2heart centre. I the numbers of HIV positive individuals who were recorded was alarming. Many of these persons did not come for a HIV test. But a free HIV test was included in the test done all individuals who were recorded for other kinds of blood tests. From my impression almost 90 percent of those who tested positive never knew they were HIV positive prior to the test. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Debaiz: Out of all the countries on earth, it's only Nigeria that the U.N are manipulating their reports abi? Better grow up. There was war in Syria n Palestine, But have u noticed that these countries are so organized to the extent that they have ambulance services that are very effective? After each explosion of gun fight, ambulances will rush in and take the survivors to the hospital, a feat Nigeria cannot even achieve in the time of peace. Boko haram n herdsmen alone has driven over 3 million nigerians to IDP camps because of nigerias very weak military. Over 25 million degree holders in Nigeria are loitering the streets daily unemployed. Another 25 million youths without university education are roaming the streets unemployed. The prices of food in Nigeria is very expensive. Nigeria has one of the worse hospitals on earth. Zero advanced medical equipments drive millions of Nigerians (including the president) abroad for better medical care. Tens of thousands of Nigerian doctors, nurses n pharmacists rush out of Nigeria every year. Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Nigeria has one of the worse road networks on earth. A large chunk of Nigeria has no access to clean water. Nigeria has one of the highest Mother n infant mortality rates on earth. Boko haram has killed so much Nigerians to the extent that we have stopped counting such killings for security reasons. Armed robbery in Nigeria has become a norm. UN nations also gave false statistics on all that I just listed? Keep fooling urself 2 Likes |

SincereBigot:It is a black man disease. Sierra Leone:53, Chad:54 ,the Central African Republic:54 and Nigeria:55. All this countries are dominated by blacks.. Because black man think anyhow, eats anyhow, marry anyhow. Black man is embodied with stressful and unnecessary traditions. He has to fed for himself, his parents, his siblings, his children, his wife(wives),his in-laws, his kinsmen. He has to be present in all marriage and burial ceremonies invited or not. He has to go to court over a land dispute between his kinsmen. Most black men are polytheists. They are Christians/Muslims and Pagans, so they have a lot of time and money to spend on religion and traditional rites. |

AlhajaChinyere: Bring ur proof that the UN said that 50% of Africa will be dead by 2010. Back to the topic, Did the UN also say that tens of millions of Nigerians are unemployed? Did the UN also rumour that Nigerian president and millions of her citizens go abroad yearly because of the terrible medical equipments n poor medical services we have here? Do u also need the UN to confirm to u that there is presently huge hunger and poverty in Nigeria? Do u need the UN to tell u that boko haram, Bandits, Herdsmen, armed robbers n kidnappers have taken over Nigeria? |

The definition of life expectancy has nothing to do with life been worse in other countries, life expectancy is more dependent on demographic factors, the environment and general conditions of living which causes people to die at an certain age(on an average) in a particular country.

There must have been mistake somewhere. Last time i checked life expectancy in Nigeria was 22 years. SARS. Kidnappers / Armed robbers. Accidents from bad roads. Poor health care. Scarcity of food. Non payment of salaries. Increasing suicide rate. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Haba Naija! |

stanliwise: linked: Princedapace: McWhillion: I actually planned to ignore quotes and mentions but yours caught my attention. It is a well known fact that in the US, 1 in every 10 black child won’t live to celebrate their 25th birthday they are always killed in gun related violence. Either gang wars, drug wars or stray bullet. Has the UN collated any data that reduces the life expectancy rate of and average black man in the US? NO. Aljazeera while exposing an Australian politician lobbying the US NRA for funds and support in exchange for relaxing the Australian gun laws in the aftermath of the Christchurch(NZ) shooting, brought up a report that 37,000 people were killed in 2017 ALONE due to gun related violence in the US alone. The guardian put the figure at 40,000 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/13/us-gun-deaths-levels-cdc-2017 40,000! that is more than bokoharam, Fulani herdsmen and armed militias have killed in Nigeria in 3years combined. Then we talk about accident deaths (high in the US) Cancer deaths (high in the US) Deaths from Hearth related disease(2,626,418) 2014 alone. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-leading-causes-of-death-in-the-us/ Deaths from Gun violence(40,000 in a year) does not even rank among the top ten in the US? Remind me again what the life expectancy rate is in the US? 78 years. Abeg make them tell us something else. This was their aim and the achieved it. They appealed to your sentiments with cooked up statistics. NB: not replying anyone. I will only reply anyone that can give me the source of the data they used for their computation. If you cannot, don’t expect my reply. |

Ha ha ha ha ha . . . So people actually expect anything better despite the fact that there is NO Good water to drink People can't afford to ear proper meal or even at the right time not to talk of balance diet There is no light to have access to the right thing There is no health system that will support a good life Polution like the government is making money from it The youths are so involved in cultism that is making the life expectancy go even lower because someone will have head cut off There is no job and those that have a job are only being paid enough to transport back to the house Please let's be real, i am even surprised that 55 is the number, for a better one, the people need to demand better governance from their useless government, else, expect it to even come down more. 1 Like 1 Share |

Debaiz:Why would the UN be expected to single out black men in the US for consideration? Did they single out any such subsection of the Nigerian population for such treatment? The statistics they provide are of the same character for all countries surveyed, an aggregate of the life expectancy over the entire population in each country: just because the results aren't at all flattering to Nigeria doesn't justify the sort of special-pleading you're trying to carry out here. In any case, there's no reason to assume that playing along with your game would get you the results you want. One could just as easily ask how long the life expectancy is for the worst-off 20th percent in both the USA and Nigeria, and the figures would probably come out even more terrible for Nigeria than they already are - maybe in the low-mid 40s for the poorest northern states. The brutal, ugly truth about Nigeria is that nearly everything about the country is a total shambles, almost as if the country's leaders had set their minds on doing the worst job possible. That average life expectancy is among the lowest in the world should therefore come as no surprise, in a country whose President has so little faith in even his own dedicated clinical facilities that he flies to London for even routine medical care. What then for the average Nigerian who doesn't even have affordable access to a qualified nurse, let alone a doctor? 2 Likes 1 Share |

AlhajaChinyere: [b]Let's start with electricity, how much has been the budget from the government by each government on power generation in the last 20 years only each year? In this generation, Nigeria do not have to invent anything, it is just to buy, install and maintain BUT guess what, this will probably never happen because those that are making billions importing generators are same people that are funding the campaign of the leaders, or you mean to tell me that it is that complicated to give light to the people? Give 24 hours by 7 days a week constant light and the issue with Nigeria is reduced by 60% By the way, no one in their right mind will tell the government to fix all these in 4 years, but at least start something so that the people will know you are working or that you care about the people But in a country where even the leaders think light is luxury for the people, then, we already have misplaced priority . . . All these nonsense about recurring expenditure, give me a reason why they need all the states created or all the LGA, why can't they consolidate and make something happen . . . Till the people stand up against the government, the government won't even know why they have been elected or should i say enforced on the people?[/b] |

Fhemmmy: You mean all these family men and women to rise up against the government? For how many days or weeks? Abi you want the nation to starve? Let me tell you one sad truth, the federal government of Nigeria cannot afford (and do not have the money) to instal and erect the infrastructure needed to generate full electricity coverage of the country FACT! Are you aware that if you produce any meaningful amount of electricity in Nigeria, BY LAW you have to connect it to the national grid for distribution. This is what has prevented states like Lagos from creating its own electricity generating capacity! May be changing that law is a good place to start from. 1 Like |
