The Jos bombings of Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 which
claimed more than 200 lives according to latest
counts, have pushed Nigeria to formally occupy the
first position in the ranking of world nations with the
worst governments in history.
Other criteria which recently moved Nigeria up the list
include:
CORRUPTION: With Nigeria’s leadership admitting that
they could not account for up to or more than $20
billion dollars oil revenue earnings discovered
missing in a single 18 month period examined; the
nation’s finance minister admitting this to BBC and
the official government engagement
of Price water
house international firm further confirming this
financial mishap, Nigeria secured its position as the
most haplessly corrupt nation in the post world war
history of the world.
POVERTY: The rebasing of Nigeria’s economy, setting
Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa, while
revealing the true economic position of Africa’s
largest nation, simultaneously re-certified Nigeria as
the nation in the top position for worst leadership in
social welfare and opportunities for the people. With
70% of the nation living under a-dollar-a-day,
economically factored, Nigeria has the poorest people
of any nation in the world today. With the rebased
economy rating, Nigeria has the most unparalleled
HDI (Human Development Index) to revenue and
economy ratio of all nations. Poorest people in the
Nigeria case, is derived from or correlates with poorest
leadership.
POLLUTION: Despite new technologies of oil
exploration, like fracking, pushing some ‘developed’
nations further down the chart due to increasing
confirmed cases of drilling-related health hazards,
Nigeria has secured its position as having the most
polluted shore-line in the world, thanks to serial worst
administrations. Gas flaring continues in Nigeria till
date. Bayelsa state which currently reports 40 oil
spills per month established itself as the most polluted
piece of land on the earth in post world war history,
approximating Hiroshima and Nagasaki and more
recently Fukushima, in proportion of catastrophe.
Nigeria ties with Japan as the two nations with the
greatest levels of ecological pollution, though in
terms of leadership attribution, Nigeria maintained the
top spot.
TERROR: Nigeria in 2014 reported the most dangerous
events of high sea piracy in the world. Nigeria in the
end of 2013 and 2014 surpassed Mexico in
kidnapping, recording the cruelest and second highest
single abduction event in recent history. In the end of
2013 and the first quarter of 2014, Nigeria surpassed
Syria, Libya, Iraq and Central African Republic, CAR
in worst and most deadly acts of terrorism and
sectarian violence. The Nyanya bombing was ranked
the fifth worst bombing of its kind in world history
post 1970 by the Mineta Transportation Institute
(MTI). The Jos bombing with over 200 reported dead
in one attack, is second only to 9/11 and the disputed
Syria chemical weapons attack. In combined values,
with between 40-80,000 killed in the four years of
largely unchecked Boko Haram violence, with over
4000 killed in the first quarter of 2014 alone, Nigeria
has fast outpaced the world in deadly terror. Nigeria’s
leadership in December of 2013 secured the world top
position in insecurity and failure to protect life and
discourage terror. Current rankings put Nigeria’s
leadership second only to Hitler after surpassing
Saddam Hussein, in the current century in terms of
deliberate and government supervised internal
wastage of life.
