The Economist Intelligence Unit as they often do,
have come out with their yearly Global Liveability
Ranking and Lagos, Nigeria comes in as the fourth
(4th) worst city to live in, scoring a very low 39.0 out of
100.
The EIU surveyed all cities across the world and
awarded scores based on its stability, healthcare,
culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
As you can see, it's not such a far fetched result as
you think of the state of Nigeria in general.
The report stated this about Lagos "Rapid growth is
not always a good thing because Lagos is now a
magnet for two perpetual threats to peace: pirates and
Islamist warriors. Boko Haram have a problem with
cities like Lagos and also lots of weaponry.
Pirates threaten trade and use kidnapping as a method
of funding. Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko
Haram ("Education is forbidden") want to create their
own version of heaven on earth by destroying cities
such as Lagos and imposing strict sharia law. Lagos
has enormous potential but as yet little to show for it –
hence its poor ranking."
