The North is a haven for terrorists and islamic ideologists.
In the SW the streets are littered with filth and dirt, plus you'd have to deal with the menace of robbers, rapists and rampaging diabolical ritualists.
The SE and SS are full of agitators for self reliance, and equal treatment. . . they are mostly peaceful, but can sometimes get unruly as every sane human.
The country is just hell like.

Misleading topic, its not all parts of Nigeria. Here's the complete travel warning:

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria and recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all but essential travel to Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kano, and Yobe states because the security situation in northeast Nigeria remains fluid and unpredictable. Very poor transportation infrastructure also makes it difficult for the U.S. Mission to provide consular services in these states. All U.S. citizens should have evacuation plans that do not solely rely on U.S. government assistance. Due to the risk of kidnappings, robberies, and other armed attacks, U.S. citizens should also avoid all but essential travel to: Bayelsa, Delta, Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, and Zamfara states. This replaces the Travel Warning dated August 3, 2016.

Boko Haram, an extremist group based in the northeast, has targeted churches, schools, mosques, government installations, educational institutions, and entertainment venues in Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, Taraba, the Federal Capital Territory, and Yobe states. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians have been displaced as a result of violence in the north. Exercise extreme caution throughout the country due to the threat of indiscriminate violence. U.S. citizens should be vigilant at public gatherings and locations frequented by foreigners. Markets, hotels, restaurants, bars, and places of worship may become targets for terrorist attacks.

Travel to the Gulf of Guinea should also be avoided because of the threat of piracy.

U.S. Mission personnel are subject to restrictions when traveling in Nigeria, with the exception of local areas of Abuja and Lagos, and may be subject to other constraints as security conditions

As you can see - 12 Northern states were mentioned, 2 states from the south south and none from the south east.

I think their issue is not the fact that Nigeria is a criminal shitthole. It is that americans are being targeted for being americans.
That is why the vast majority of the countries in the list are nations with significant muslim populations including israel.
Given the geo-religious composition of Nigeria, a heat map display would show that the SW, the militant parts of the SS and entire islamic northern hotbed are no-go areas for americans and other civilized people .

Statistics of lives lost through suicides,Boko Haram Insurgence,Fulani herdmen killings,and extra-judicial killings are enough to add up to this.Our political elites have no regard for human lives when it comes to fulfilling their personal interests and ambitions.I have said it time and again that revolution is the answer.

They are right. Think of these scenarios

1. An American gentleman strolling on the streets of Port Harcourt only to be shot dead by stray bullets from soldiers chasing peaceful Biafran protesters.

2. An American trying to do a little farming around Benue state only to be killed by Fulani herdsmen who wants to forcefully graze their cattle on his crops.

3. An American migrant exploring the beauty of Ondo state and caught by the many ritualists who cut off his head, gorge his eyes and cut his privates thinking that the ritual will make them $$$ since na white man grin

And how many Americans do you know that has died in this manner?

After Judaism(the state religion), islam is the next dominant religion in Isreal.
There are significant number of muslim palestinian sympathizers in Isreal.

Infact there are more donor agencies in those places you call hotbeds than your South

Very correct. For me, I can only visit that US for either business trip or 2/3 weeks holiday. It's not a country that I ever dream to live. I'll prefer Europe.

...Nigerian and hypocrisy..,I can see some folks saying that US is not safe,yet if you go to American embassies in this country,one will see thousands of Nigerians paying through their noses to leave this country to America on a daily basis..Fasting,praying and giving testimonies in church when they succed

....We know the pains and anguish being expressed by Nigerians who are denied Visas or prevented from entering Us...You guys should stop decieving yourselves please.


Nigerians are not hypocrites and least not more than others, trying to negotiate a world full of unavoidable contradictions. And, actually i find folks from the rest of Africa the epitome of hypocrites. Someone on Niraland once stated that folks that call Nigerians hypocrites don't appear to know the meaning of hypocrisy, the poster is right. Saying a place is dangerous and wanting to go there is not hypocrisy. Saying a place is dangerous and you will never got there and people should not go there but you sneak off there yourself regularly and send your own relations there for their betterment is hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy Meaning: a situation in which someone pretends to believe something that they do not really believe, or that is the opposite of what they do or say at another time:

I belive America is dangerous but will travel there, risking danger, for what i want.

That is why i included the militant parts of the SS who kidnap for money. Even the SW too fall under this category including islamic fundamentalism.
Yes, i should have included the SE too for fairness sake. But there are far more dangerous places for civilized people in Nigeria than the SE.
As you can see no SE state is included.

Anybody can cook up any list
especially with same country that is exploring, killing, looting and even encouraging abominations of all sorts.

You can pinpoint why the Country will not be in good term with another because no pence or little are illegally coming into their domain unlike before.

This is a psychological hit that can bring down one's esteem.....it's a mind war.....we shouldn't fall for that usual trap...

For the fact, the one that accept/receive a stolen treasure with the knowledge of it, is potentially corrupt more than the criminal act itself.

And for the fact........Mexico hits the top list.....where it's not safe for Americans....this is a clear indication that this list is meant to controversially demoralized anyone within those perimeters with one or two reasons

For the record.....More Americans will still troop in into Naija this evening like ever before.

Peace!

If they were that bad, why did other countries welcome them so much? Bleep Americans. I pity those who will apply for u.s visa with these mentioned countries visa in their passport.
