Compared to countries like France, England, and Japan; Nigeria is a lot less developed. One major difference is the overall HDI rank. England is ranked 16th, France is ranked 10th, and Japan is ranked 8th in comparison to Nigeria which is ranked 158th. The life expectancies for France, Japan, and England are overall a lot greater than Nigeria. One other major difference is the life expectancy. For all the compared countries they had a much higher life expectancy than Nigeria. For similarities, Nigeria, like the other countries all have primary, secondary, and tertiary sector jobs.

Nigeria overall is not the worst off country but it definitely is not one of the best off. Nigeria has a lot of economic issues along with diseases that keep the population at a young age and many people in the country die every day. The life expectancy is low and the crude birth rate is high making Nigeria is a low stage of development. Along with the economic issues, Nigeria does not have very many well paying jobs and should look into making better positions of employment for its citizens.

Based upon the information given and looked up, Nigeria may either open their eyes or make great changes to better their country or it could go to ruins. The way I see it going as of now is down because little to nothing is being done and has been done to deal with the issues of Nigeria. Something needs to be done to fix Nigeria’s issues and something needs to be done fast.
