ReplyDeleteWhat is too bad?
Forbes doesn't know what they are saying........When u check the rating very well,placing Togo(7) before syria(Yemen)(9) is faulty.Even Guinea 16 is after Yemen.The rating is not correct,they should go & sit down somewhere.
Yeah what od Sudan? The studies could have begun before the Sudanese and Syrian conflicts. Well, anyhow, living in naija ain't so happy though.
ReplyDeleteThis same people will come tomorrow after recieving bribe from government in power and say Nigerians are the happiest people on earth under a dictatorial government. They should go and study their village
ReplyDeleteForbe should think of something more productive things to do and not distract the good heart of Nigerians!!!!
ReplyDeleteForbes keep the good ratings. To me Nigeria was supposed to be the no 1.
