Nigeria came last of 80 countries researched. A new study by the
Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU, has ranked Nigeria as the worst place
for a baby born in 2013.
The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, ranked Nigeria 80th out
of the 80 countries considered for the study with a score of 4.74 out
of 10, just below Kenya which scored 4.91.
South Africa, at 53rd position, was the best placed African country with a score of 5.89.
Four North African nations (Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco)
as well as oil rich Angola were regarded as better places to bear
children ahead of Nigeria.
