A new study by the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU, has
ranked Nigeria as the worst place for a bab13.
A new study by the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU, has
ranked Nigeria as the worst place for a baby born in 2013.
The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, ranked Nigeria
80th out of the 80 countries considered for the study with a score of 4.74 out
of 10, just below Kenya which scored 4.91.
South Africa, at 53rd position, was the best placed African
country with a score of 5.89.
Four North African nations (Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and
Morocco) as well as oil rich Angola were regarded as better places to bear
children ahead of Nigeria.
The study attempts to measure what will provide the best
environment for the healthiest, safest, and most prosperous life in the coming
years.
The quality-of-life index used in the survey was measured
around key areas like crime, trust in public institutions, health of family
life and government policies.
It also examined how happy citizens say they are as well
other variables such as a forecast of income per head.
The study used the EIU’s 2030 economic forecasts, the year
when children born in 2013 are expected to attain adulthood.
Each time such results are released, it is usually followed
by debates on various online platforms with many questioning the authenticity
of the results.
But lets be honest,do you think Nigeria is safe enough to
have or raise a baby/child? If you were given the opportunity to raise your
child in any country,will you pick Nigeria ? #MomentOfTruth
