The crude death rate is 16.56 deaths/1,000 populations. The total life expectance is 46.94 years old. The infant mortality rate is 94.35 deaths/1,000 live births. The independence of Nigeria was in 1960 after many years of military rule.I believe they are a developing country, because they do not seem to have a good economy, because they don’t have good health care, because the death rate is really high.

Ethiopia has been free form other rulers, except the Italians for a little while. because of years of war and refuge problems, I believe that Ethiopia is more like a redeveloping country, the just starting off.
