Sad news: true or false. Lagos ranks number 5 from the bottom – worst cities to live in the World? Its even better to live in Cameroon and Senegal at least?

While Canada and Australia fill the top posts, its unfortunate to see Africa right in the last. Can we say at least, we are not the worst of the worst, sorry Zimbabwe.

The Economist Intelligence Unit’s liveability rating quantifies the challenges that might be presented to an individual’s lifestyle in 140 cities worldwide. Each city is assigned a score for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories:
Stability, Healthcare, Culture and environment, Education and
Infrastructure

While we acknowledge that our very own Governor Fashola is still Nigerias best performer, I believe there is still a long way to go. More grease to your elbows sir

But I’m wondering why Lagos was Nigeria’s representative in the above article and not Abuja.
