Mr knowitall.:
the only safe place in Nigeria is Aso rok....

oge4real: No where on earth is safe. Here in Sydney, the evening news is filled with murder, rape and all sorts of violence. Yet we are still here, just for one reason- the system is working!
If we had a working system in Nigeria, then I can assure Nigerians will rush home and help build our fatherland.

OAM4J:

Except that Boston event doesn't happen every week or every month. If it does we will have to declare the city unsafe. But kidnappings, robberies, etc are almost daily occurrence in Lagos and Nigeria. More than 3/4 of it are not even reported in the news. I know someone close to me whose mother was kidnapped with a week old child in Lagos about 2 weeks ago. You dont want to know what the family went through, how much was paid and where they eventually left the victims.

If you have not been affected, thank God. But we have serious security challenges in Lagos and in Nigeria. BTW, am a proud Lagosian/Nigerian, just have to state the facts.

Afam4eva:
[size=14pt]"Absolutely", only on Nairaland. Try it and you may never reach your destination. You have the knack of always lying to yourself. Nigeria is unsafe like been painted.[/size]

What is wrong with saying spoken English. The guy actually writes the way he speaks. What about your won writings? You wrote "you" instead of your. You think you know, but you wrote "the referring". Explain why you used "the" before referring. What kind of grammar is that? Confisticate was an honest typo error. The whole world knows it is confiscate. By the way, look at my writing again if I actually typed "confisticated" as you claimed. Is your reading glasses dirty, lost or stolen? You better don't dare me when it comes to English Language. I don't think you know the difference between making mistakes when someone fails to proofread their writings and when someone just plainly writing nonsense.

Rossikk:

Swear that this wasn't over ten years ago.

That's a direct challenge.

I've told you to drop your old views on the Naija you left behind in the 90s. Naija has changed. Armed robbery has decreased compared to what it used to be back in your days. You really need to get with the program. When we're travelling now we hardly even think about robbers.

Did you just point out that you attended college and did NYSC in Nigeria with this your kangaroo spoken English? OMG! With this your spoken English, I can see why criminals are all over you in Oakland. By the way, why are you still in Oakland and not Nigeria?

payless: @poster

Why not travel to Maiduguri, Kano, Zamfara and spend few days there before coming here to tell us how safe Nigeria is? Are those places not part of Nigeria? I travelled from New Jersey to North Carolina between 1:30am and 9am without any itch from police, armed-robbers or anyone, could that be possible in Nigeria with a brand new car in the middle of the night? You are spinning too much these days, bro. Just yesterday you came here to post about a phony $100B investment coming to Nigeria. Stop it!

Allohrandy: Is it a crime to live and hustle in US, Nigeria is my home and I love my country till death. I will always try my best to make Nigeria better in my own little way. I just dont like it when people say shit and poo about my country.. I have never heard an American or a Mexican Immigrant talk shit about their country.. we should learn to love our country instead of always criticizing it. Naija4life

bomly: Anyway whether or not is unsafe is dependent on where you have stayed and lived and where you are comparing it to. If you compare Nigeria to Sudan and Somali and Haiti then you can possible say Nigeria is safe but if you compare it to France, Dubai or America then you will tremble and say Nigeria is unsafe. So what is safety with the bomb blast and killings of people everyday, Yes this does not only happen in Nigeria but it still doesn't change the fact that it's happening. Infact how many wealthy people do you see build houses without huge fences? That explains how safe it is, also how many people move without escort also tells you about security.

Lets tell yourselves the truth as that is where change begins, we need solution but how can we have one when each time people say Nigeria is safe and Nigeria is Poor and all is okay, Please from my view; We need more security, thanks for the present security but we need more security. No, foreigners are not hyping this, they are only evaluating from the resources they believe we have as to where we should be, in real sense it depends on a lot of factors to reach out a conclusion, but meanwhile everything is based on where you're looking at it from.

You are a bloody hypocrite..You are against me calling it a bad name, not because of the truth attached to my words.

You are afar from that same country you are gracing, guaranteeing people the safe state of it, while you stood abroad sending prevarications across, and not from your country.. Thats enough to be called a genocide and terrorism. Every evil, put together

You can imagine a country who romances terrorists and granting bombers/killers of millions of lives amnesty; while the true loyal citizens with no crime records are rejected their gratuities.. A country where police force rams false accusation down your esophagus...A country where death is guaranteed at any slightest slip...A place where 1million naira is charge for a victim who stole 50billion...A country with no true justice...A place where the rich tramps on the poor, for more increase...A country where doctors work in the bank, while bankers work in the hospital..Country where you can buy a judge after wiping a whole family out of the world... Come back and walk freely like you always do in the states and then give me your report.

Na your type go come back from abroad, begin look everyone with a fixed gazed eye, even at the nearest innocent man with no intention of harming.

Mr President, if you are reading this. DO SOMETHING. you are no special human to anyone before God. So stop depriving your fellow human of their right to live.

solidbroda: For now, it is. Unlike mexico and brazil, the murder capital of the world, pakistan: the most dangerous place for journalist. Syria, war zone and no respect for human right by any mean.
So, naija is still safe oo. Since u can wake up and sleep peacefully, and you still eat 2 to 3 meals per day...

collynzo2: how did you know that the guy speaks the way he writes? You made a blunder don't try to be wise about it. Does the bolded line make sense to you? You've criticized Nigeria's educational system a few times here, so I ask again, where did you learn such poor grammar?

Red-Light:
idiot.. What have u achieved with your perfect english

Red-Light:
cool... Criticism is important though.. Buh it should be done constructively

Omo_Tier1:
Dude, we are all optimistic and committed to Nigeria, else many of us would have put our investment elsewhere. The truth is, things are not good and there is no visible sign that We are changing things for the better. We keep deceiving ourselves by not being honest and addressing our short fall squarely. Let call a spade a spade. We have serious security challenge, coupled with very high poverty that requires urgent redress by the leadership in the land to forestall the human catastrophe that would greet the nationhood soonest.

Some of us do our very best to promote Nigeria, but Nigeria does very little to promote herself

Billyonaire: Nigeria is unsafe, yet Dangote injected over $15 billion dollars into the Economy while the pessimistic Diasporans are busy surviving to pay bills in Oyibo land...lol Shame on you pessimists who dont love Nigeria but cant stay away from nairaland.

Texas.Cowgirl:


Last time I was in Nigeria, I was in my early teenage years, not ven in High school yet.
That shoity azz country scares the bejizuz out of me.
As we started unpacking our bags from Departure, one guy just came and pick up two of our bags as if we send am.
The thief was so brave o. In the middle of the day, with police around.
Police go just point gun anyhow. And they treat you like a criminal just because you just came from Amelikka. These cops literally had us unzipping our bags in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. Going through our stuff. WTF? This was wayyyyyyyy before 2006 o, so it definitely wasnt because of boko haram, na greed.
I promised myself never to go to Nigeria again. If not because I'm a true Ekiti girl, in love with her state and kinsmen, you think I'll ever think to break that promise (in the future)?
Next time I go to Nigeria, best believe it, I'm buying my own AK-47 for all those morafuckers

safe country indeed . nl is full of these stories

everyone of us has been or knows someone who was the victim of violent robbery / kidnapping

these desperate liars

robbers were robbing my boss estate last year as he was driving into his house - they were fully armed
they attacked him later in hold up
they attacked my colleague on her way to work one morning
they attacked my wife in a hold up
they robbed and shot my colleagues relative
a colleagues neighbour was kidnapped as he was driving into his house
i was attacked by robbers last year


every nigerian can provide their own personal statistics of this nature

everytime i drive into my close , i am always on high alert for kidnappers

the op is disgusting and a liar. he cannot claim that he does not have friends /relatives/acquantnces who have been victims of crime


to say the country is unsafe is an understatement

rossik should ask NOI if nigeria is safe
