    Report: Lagos, Third Worst City To Live in the World

    Lagos, Nigeria's commercial nerve center, is the third worst city to live in among 140 cities worldwide.
    The revelation is according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU's 2018 ranking of the world's most liveable cities. The city was ranked 138th of the 140 countries ranked by the EIU.
    With a relatively low score of 38.5 per cent, the city was just a little above Syria's war-torn capital, Damascus, and Bangladesh's Dhaka. Both cities are hotbeds of violence, destruction and war.

    The new ranking saw the Australian capital, Melbourne, lose the title of world's most liveable city after a seven-year reign after dropping to second by just 0.7 percent. The city was piped to the post by Vienna, which received an overall score of 99.1 percent. According to the EIU, Austria's capital's rise to the top was attributed to increased security scores due to a return to relative stability across much of Europe after high-profile terrorist attacks in recent years.
    The annual list assesses stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure in 140 different cities of the world.
    On a larger scale, the ranking showed, global liveability has improved for the second year in a row, increasing from 74.8 per cent last year to 75.7 per cent in 2018.

    In the new ranking, published Monday, Japan's Osaka and Tokyo have now moved up into the top ten, coming in third and seventh place respectively. Both cities achieved their highest ranking on the survey this year thanks to a decline in crime rates as well as improvements in public transportation.
