Lagos Ranks Worst City To Live In Africa

A new report finding by Economist Intelligence Unit has revealed that Lagos Nigeria is among the top 5 worst cities to live in the whole of Africa.

In the report, the intelligence Unit ranked the most livable cities across the globe as well as the least liveable cities and Lagos made the list as one of the worst cities to live in.

As in previous surveys, the report noted that living conditions in Lagos, Nigeria; Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea; and Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh are among the worst in the world.

Its report, ”The Global Liveability Index 2021,” prides itself in using the combination of five factors to rate the livability of all the cities across the globe.

The first three factors are: Stability (level of crime and conflict), Healthcare (presence and quality of healthcare) as well as Environmental/Cultural factors (climate, religious restrictions, food and drinks).

Others are: Education (quality and availability of private or public education), and infrastructure (quality of roads, public transport, provision of water, housing, energy and telecommunications).

“A consistently low stability score, owing to ongoing civil unrest and military conflicts, is the reason behind most of these cities featuring in the bottom ten. However, conditions have deteriorated even further as a result of Covid-19—particularly for healthcare,” the report stated.

Of the top 10 least liveable cities, five can be found in Africa. Below are the five African cities in the list, in this order.

  1. Lagos, Nigeria
  2. Algiers, Algeria
  3. Tripoli, Libya
  4. Harare, Zimbabwe
  5. Douala, Cameroon
