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.
