I'd chose India. Hopefully I'd end up in some middle-class place in the Himalayan foothills rather than a Calcutta slum.

Yeah, the Nigerian I know is nice.. (she was in the physics class below me in Undergrad)... however, I still wouldn't choose Nigeria.

Nigeria and Ethiopia both can be politically explosive, and I wouldn't want to be killed by an angry mob or by a war.
For the rich and middle class, India has the best infrastructure.
If you ask me in which country I'd like to be an average citizen (and not a middle-class westerner), though, it's a tough call. A match between India and Nigeria IMO."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

1. India is undoubtedly the place with the most cultural facilities, etc available that a westerner would be interested in.
2. Of all four, India is the most likely to make major advances in my lifetime
3. Climate - well the OP didnt say you didnt get a choice of where to live - Id pick Bangalore
4. In India theyd be more understanding of my dietary restrictions than in Ethiopia Id suspect (though Ethiopia has had a history of "Judaizing", i think that was pretty much suppressed. ) Of course both Bangla and Nigeria have substantial presences of extremist Islamists."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Be that as it may, I'd go for Ethiopia. The highlands would be perfectly liveable for a person used to a more temperate clime. Plus, at the very least, they're Christians, so a basic underlying philosphy would be the same.

I was raised in a Christian society, so my core culture norms and values are Christian, even if I reject the religion. Islam and Hinduism are alien to me, and cultures built around them would be hard for me to feel comfortable in.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
