In Nigeria, steady in the rankings this year at No. 14, post-election rampages in April killed as many as 800 people.
Three African states — Somalia, Chad, and Sudan — once again top this year’s Failed States Index, the annual ranking prepared by the Fund for Peace and published by FOREIGN POLICY of the world’s most vulnerable countries. For four years in a row, Somalia has held the No. 1 spot, indicating the depth of the crisis in the international community’s longest-running failure.

IAM DISGUSTED WITH LIFE ANYTIME I READ A CAPTION REGARDS FAILURE IN NIGERA . WHERE DOES FAILURE FOUND IN NIGERIA ? HOW MANY COUNTRIES HAVE YOU TRAVELLED TO WHICH GAVE YOU THE IDEAS THAT NIGERIA IS NUMBER 14 ? WHAT MEASUREMENT HAS THE PERSON USED AGAINST NIGERIA? DID YOU ASK NIGERIANS WHO TRAVELLED TO OTHER COUNTRIES WHAT THEY MEET ON THEIR WAYS? HOW MANY FOREIGNERS DID YOU KILL, OR HARRASS SEXUALLY OR VICTIMIZE TO DEATH?
DID YOU EVER SEEN THOSE WHO ARE GIVING YOU BAD NAMES ACCEPTING BAD NAMES FROM YOU? THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING GOOD IN NIGERIA SHOULD PLEASE MOVE BACK . PEOPLE WHO ARE RULING NIGERIA SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF THEIR ACTIVITIES IN GOVERNMENT . A DAY IS COMING WHEN THEIR FOREIGN ACCOUNT WOULD BE IN JEOPARDY .IT IS HIGH TIME THEY SAW NIGERIA AS THEIR HOME AND INVEST AT HOME .
THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO INVEST IN ; WATER RESOURCES, AGRICULTURE, AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY, ELECTRICITY. AND SO ON. OF WHAT USE IS THEIR BILLIONS AND MILLIONS IN THEIR FOREIGN ACCOUNT?? WHEN YOU DIE , WHAT HAPPEN FURTHER?? FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
This ranking is the most bizarre news I have ever read in my life.Nigeria has never been a failed state.What critera did the writers use? Nigerians deserve an apology to this provoking publication.
i feel so sorry for the white imperialist as they call themselves whenever they find it so exciting to pry and give other countries bad names and put them in the wrong light.and i blame them not in the same way cos majority of the country men of the above stated countries contribute to giving their fatherlands bad names.where have you seen any of the so called world power countries citizens rub their countries name in the dust like ours?we should learn to defend this sort of rubbish and find the way forward
