Lagos Is The Fourth Worst City In The World.

The Economist Intelligence Unit as they often do, have come out with
their yearly Global Liveability Ranking and Lagos, Nigeria comes in as the
fourth (4th) worst city to live in, scoring a very low 39.0 out of 100 and
Damascus, Syria tops the list.
The EIU surveyed all cities across the world and awarded scores based on
its stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and
infrastructure. As you can see, it's not such a far fetched result as you
think of the state of Nigeria in general.
The report stated this about Lagos "Rapid growth is not always a good
thing because Lagos is now a magnet for two perpetual threats to peace:
pirates and Islamist warriors. Boko Haram have a problem with cities like
Lagos and also lots of weaponry.
Pirates threaten trade and use kidnapping as a method of funding.
Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram ("Education is forbidden")
want to create their own version of heaven on earth by destroying cities
such as Lagos and imposing strict sharia law. Lagos has enormous
potential but as yet little to show for it – hence its poor ranking."
