A forward-looking element comes into
play, too. Although many of the drivers
of the quality of life are slow-changing,
for this ranking some variables, such as
income per head, need to be forecast.
We use the EIU’s economic forecasts to
2030, which is roughly when children
born in 2013 will reach adulthood.
Despite the global economic crisis,
times have in certain respects never
been so good. Output growth rates
have been declining across the world,
but income levels are at or near historic
highs. Life expectancy continues to
increase steadily and political freedoms
have spread across the globe, most
recently in north Africa and the Middle
East. In other ways, however, the crisis
has left a deep imprint—in the euro
zone, but also elsewhere—particularly
on unemployment and personal
security. In doing so, it has eroded
both family and community life.

Let me start by saying that I'm not attacking you in any way but that's the problem, we like to shift blame a bit too much. Granted, Nigeria has had way too many shitty leaders to make progress but we tend to forget that these leaders are also nigerians who were elected by other nigerians to come into power. So the problem is the nigerian society itself. For example, elderly people (to me people who are 30+) tend to chastise this current generation but they fail to realise that they are the very same people who ran our country to the ground. Nigerians need to learn to take responsibility for their actions and also encourage people who go against the grain to flourish because -let's face it, the old ways just aren't working anymore. Sorry for the rant.

And Useless followers too

I blame all of us for this ranking. Where there is a good follower there is a good leader . Instead of blaming Buhari or GEJ it is the responsibility of the people to be a good citizen.
All this top countries didnt become top overnight because of politicians they became top because of law abiding citizens.

#ProudlyNigerian whether best or worst!

the big damned damNATION call zoogeria? ahahaaa!

The o.p should try to utilize his education , doing that will help him avoid making erroneous generalizations. Nigeria is ranked worst among the countries surveyed not the whole world
