Take a look at the Index of Human Development below. Isn’t it fascinating to see how we can evolve if we choose to?

Just over a century ago, South Korea and Nigeria measured 0.02 in the summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development (See above). The difference between these 2 countries and Finland was almost insignificant too. Finland went to work, bringing out the best in its people. South Korea followed a steeper curve from 1960 and exponentially improved the lives of its people. I find the progress of South Korea in circa 50 years super impressive. Nigeria clearly has made progress too. But relatively, it’s got work to do.
