The report, which is published by the Institute for Economics and Peace sees Nigeria ahead of many war-torn countries such as Yemen, South Sudan, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. Mexico tops the list with Iraq following in second place. Nigeria is, tragically, just one step behind Afghanistan.

The report also notes that as at 2008, Nigeria had no reported deaths from internal conflicts which indicates a huge increase in deaths from internal conflicts during the 8-year period.

In the surge of increasing police and army extrajudicial killings with recent incidences in mass murder of civilians by Nigerian troops in Zaria Shi’te Muslims massacre and killing of pro-Biafra protesters contributed to the statistics of deaths.

Boko Haram terrorist attacks in the North East region of the country and genocidal attacks by Fulani herdsmen militia in the North Central and part of the southern Nigeria impacted the Global Peace Index causing it to drop generally from 119 in 2008 to 149 in 2016.


This new ranking signifies a deteriorating state of peace in the country.

Nigeria’s current president, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) came into office mid-2015 promising to “crush Boko Haram”, but violence has increased in the country since he assumed office with increased number of non-state actors and state forces engaging in extrajudicial killings.

A local Nigerian newspaper, Daily Trust, on Sunday, July 10, 2016 reported that the world’s deadliest terrorist group, Boko Haram is still controlling three local government areas in Borno State and a large part of its enclave Sambisa forest. This report contradicts claims by the government that government troops had “dissipated” the terrorists.

Negative statistics and bad news ever since Buhari came on board.

Now this, Nigeria the fourth country with the highest cases of death resulting from internal crisis. Even war-torn countries like south Sudan and Yemen is better off than Nigeria.

Hmm mm. ...just a referendum would reduce our ranks as shown by th chart above

is Nigerian going forward or backwards, because am confused

If internal conflicts record high death rate, imagine if the country were to go to war!!!.

This new ranking signifies a deteriorating state of peace in the country.

How can there be peace when polithiefcians are not only clueless but no next to nothing about governance. All they know is to loot, loot and loot.

Our leaders just keep failing us.

There is a useless bigotted herdsman president in Aso Rock so what do you expect?

Meaning 7 years of PDP government that had only bokoharam to contend with/allowing corruption to flourish and 1+year of APC government whose change mantra has made Nigerians poorer like never before.

With bokoharam refusing to be technically defeated in Northeast and traces of them in Lagos, Fulani Herdsmen on rampage in Jos, Benue, Nassarawa, partly Eastern states and Ondo, unknown gun-men/militant in Ogun/other parts not forgetting Niger Delta in Southsouth, I wonder what would be left of the country by the time Bubu completes his 4year tenure.

.

Must Nigeria be in any negative news?

All thanks to Buhari Kinsmen!!!

Rather then let Nigeria disintegrate we will all drown in the River Niger..... Buhari, 2016

This ranking is done by human beings the same westerners that are trying so hard to destabilize this country! smh! Nigerians wake up!

When will nigeria cease to be associated with negativity when will we be among top 5 business destination top 5 countries with ease of doing business first world country i approve this post

Anybody telling you that nigeria will ever know peace is deceiving you.
Even in the next 50 years yoruba pastors will still be killed in the north for preaching.
Fulanis will hate the East for not being muslims. The South will do everything to preserve their resources and lands against strang usurpers from the arid north.

IT IS PRACTICALLY IDIOTTIC TO THINK YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY BUILD A NATION WITH DIVERGENT VALUE SYSTEMS, EVEN THE WHITE PEOPLE COULDN'T DO IT WITH, (FRENCHIES CAN'T LIVE IN THE SAME NATION WITH GERMANS) THE BLACK MAN WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AT IT.

SUCCESSFUL NATIONS ARE BUILT ON SINGULAR VALUE SYSTEM E.G JAPAN, FRENCH, GERMANS. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE FORGET EMOTIONS AND UNDERSTAND THAT NIGERIA CAN NEVER WORK? WHAT EXACTLY IS BLOCKING YOUR BRAINS? CRUDE OIL?
