According to business insider (India) on December 28, 2020. You can checkout the position of your country.
17. Ivory Coast — 48.97. We begin with the Ivory Coast in West Africa, a country which scores just 35.43 on the SPI's "personal rights" metric, thanks in part to two civil wars in the last 14 years alone.
16. Mozambique — 47.96. One of the big problems Mozambique faces is water and sanitation, a sub-index it scores a worrying 19.95 in. The country suffered a brutal 15-year? civil war which ended in the early 1990s, but thankfully it has been relatively stable since then.
15. Cameroon — 47.22. Another West African country, Cameroon is a former British and French colony, and President Paul Biya is known for being an authoritarian. It suffers from bad pollution, with just 41.37 on the SPI "environmental quality" metric.
14. Nigeria — 46.49. It's West Africa again, and despite Nigeria's natural resources making it the 20th largest economy in the world, social progress is slow. It scores just 32.45 on "tolerance and inclusion" sub-index.
13. Mali — 46.24. Another West African country plagued by political upheaval thanks to Islamist rebels and Tuareg military coups, Mali suffers from low "personal freedom and choice," scoring just 34.16 on that index.
12. Mauritania — 46.08. 20% of Mauritanians live on less than $1.25 per day according to the United Nations, and that is reflected in Mauritania's woeful "opportunity" sub-index score of 30.1.
11. Madagascar — 45.91. Citizens of Madagascar — an island off of the coast of south-west Africa — are very poor, with 90% of its inhabitants surviving on less than $2 a day. Water and sanitation are a particularly bad, with a sub-index score of just 15.91.
10. Liberia — 45.07. Liberia means "land of the free" in Latin, but that is not reflected in its SPI ranking, which scores only 41.44 on the "tolerance and inclusion" index. This is partly down to two vicious civil wars over the last three decades, as well as Ebola outbreaks.
9. Sierra Leone — 44.22. Another West African nation plagued by civil war and Ebola outbreaks, the SPI lists housing as a major problem for Sierra Leone, scoring just 27.65 on the "shelter" index because of dangerously low electricity? supplies.
8. Ethiopia — 43.50. Over to East Africa now, Ethiopia endured civil war and communist purges in the 70s and 80s, devastating its economy. Though it's made a bit of a recovery, its access to information and communications index scores a terrible 34.57.
7. Yemen — 41.76. Moving to the Middle East, Yemen was ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world by Transparency International. Yemen scores low on every sub-index, but access to advanced education is really terrible at only 5.29.
6. Guinea — 41.66. Back in West Africa, Guinea suffered from serious Ebola outbreaks, while its government has been accused by the UN of major human rights violations. Its "personal freedom and choice" sub-index scores just 33.73.
5. Niger — 41.63. Niger is a landlocked country in North Africa and droughts are a major problem. The SPI ranks its "water and sanitation" sub-index at only 22.19, which has lead to devastating food shortages and famines.
4. Angola — 39.70. Moving down to the south-west coast of Africa, Angola has large mineral and petroleum reserves, but his has not translated to a much better life for its people. The country scores just 25.65 on the "opportunity" index, implying far too many struggle to find work and get ahead.
3. Chad — 36.38. Chad is one of the oldest civilisations in the world, with evidence of human activity dating back to 7000 BC. Sadly its population suffers a great deal today, especially on the "nutrition and medical care" sub-index, which the SPI gives just 44.84.
2. Afghanistan — 35.89. A country devastated by war for as long as most people can remember, Afghanistan scores low on every SPI metric. The "tolerance and inclusion" sub-index is especially bad at 21.92, thanks to a residual presence of the authoritative Taliban.
1. Central African Republic — 30.03. The country with the lowest standard of living for its citizens is the Central African Republic (CAR), according to the SPI. Its scores are low across the board, from water, shelter, nutrition, and education. The worst is the "personal rights," sub-index at only 2.27, suggesting that even if a nation is resource-rich — CAR has huge mineral and oil reserves — not everyone benefits.
From the list above I can deduce that west Africa east Africa and central Africa are the most underdeveloped regions
I think this list is partial. Are they trying to say that no European nation, Asian or South American nations are horrible?
European Is the writer from business insider trying to say countries like Croatia and Serbia are doing far better than Nigeria even after the ustache war and the Vukovar massacre in 1991? Or other East European nation?
asian, Middle East Is the writer trying to say countries like Iran, Iraq Turkmenistan, Syria all doing better than Nigeria? With the chaos going on in most countries there.
I can’t believe that no South American country made this list
Probably because we haven't been able to define patriotism, no country ever progresses in hate, rife, and unrealistic political practices. It also translates to poor living standards because both the people and the government are sabotaging one another.
Not a single central America country, countries that are being run by drug gangs with the largest murder rate of girls and women.Who ever believe this list is a clown.

To be partial is human. However Africa is the worst continent on earth in terms of social amenities. I guess if you take good look at the geographical map, Afghanistan and Yemen are Asian countries.
15 AFRICAN COUNTRIES OUT OF 17. BUT THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB ON OUR SIDE WE DON'T NEED NOTHING ELSE.

Nigerians won't accept this dynamics from you. they would rather trade blames and do everything to absolve themselves from this whole mess. watch them feast on this topic, one of them is already on FIRST TO COMMENT, forgetting his utterance is equal to a politician corrupt act. their bunch wake to each day complaining on the state of the nation (without proffering any solution), but go goes to bed cursing the nation to compound it's woes.

For your mind, u have made an intelligent observation but in reality, u are talking nonsense. believe me. So as smart as u are, u don't know Yemen and Afghanistan is middle East and middle East is in Asia? secondly, those south American countries u are talking about, do they live on less than a dollar per day like most Nigerians do.live on here? cos last time I checked, some people re paid 10k naira per month in Nigeria which amounts to 300 naira per day (less than a dollar)....even with our big and great economic potentials in Africa, those south American countries with their little economy and drug wars have comfortable live per head compared to Nigerians and most Africans....Oga if u or most Nigerians see free visa to Columbia or Peru, they will run to that place....so what are u talking about?

Do you really know what you’re saying or you just want to travel out of Nigeria?

Is the current Nigeria better Croatia or Serbia? You can truthfully answer this question, this shouldn't be about patriotism but telling yourself facts. The list may be biased (for not including the Honduras, Guatemala, and Somalia of this world) but the reality is there is a major problem in Nigeria.

How has Venezuela, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Zimbabwe etc not made the list but Nigeria, Ethiopia and Ivory Coast made it onto the last the writer is very clearly biased
