 Nigeria added to Wikipedia



Wikipedia's list of failed states has been updated and Nigeria is now one of the countries on the list. 

 

The free web-based encyclopedia project, which contains information on a wide variety of subjects, described a failed state as a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly.

 

It further added that a state can also fail if the government loses its legitimacy even if it is performing its functions properly. For a stable state, it is necessary for the government to enjoy both effectiveness and legitimacy. Likewise, when a nation weakens and its standard of living declines, it introduces the possibility of total governmental collapse. 

 

Countries listed as a failed state include Syria, Somalia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Liberia, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan.

Astral Sex ? Please add your own theory because at this point, I have nothing but empathy for her. She needs help. Yes some doctors do go crazy from stress, work and a whole lot. Medicine is one field of study you never graduate college from because of continuous study and tons of work.
