Nigeria has been ranked the 16th least peaceful country in the world, according to the 2018 edition of Global Peace Index, GPI. The report, released yesterday, ranked Nigeria 148 out of the total 163 countries surveyed. Nigeria Iceland is the most peaceful country, closely followed by New Zealand and Austria while Syria is ranked least peaceful, coming after Afghanistan and South Sudan respectively.

In Sub-Sahara Africa, Nigeria is ranked 40 out of 44 countries, with Mauritius topping the list, while South Sudan is ranked least. According to the report produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, IEP, global level of peace has deteriorated by 0.27 percent in the last year, marking the fourth successive year of deterioration. It also said the world is “less peaceful today than at any time in the last decade.” It added that 92 countries deteriorated, while only 71 improved.

Nigeria is one of such countries, up one place from its 2017 ranking of 149. In 2016, Nigeria was pegged at 149, while the figure was 151 for both 2015 and 2014. The report said the global economic impact of violence was $14.76 trillion PPP in 2017, equivalent to 12.4 percent of global GDP, or $1,988 per person.

The report covers 99.7 percent of the world’s population and uses 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators from “highly respected sources” to compile the index. These indicators are grouped into three key domains: ‘ongoing conflict’, ‘safety and security’, and ‘militarisation.’ All three domains deteriorated over the last year. “There’s been a gradual decline in peacefulness over the last decade,” said Steve Killelea, head of IEP.

“The reason for this slow, gradual decline in peacefulness really comes back to the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, and the spillover effects into other areas.”

People don't actually know that Somalia is much more peaceful than Nigeria, Nigeria records terrorist attacks and violent deaths 5 times than that of Somalia.

I Have No Doubt About That At All, Irrespective Of What Some Who Are Living In Well Fenced Houses In The City Will Think. This Country Is Just A Killing Field, Period.

Dear God,
We solemnly pray,
Let Your peace reign in our dear nation.
We don't want this killings, kidnappings, armed robbery, wickedness and TRIBALISM anymore.
So help us God.
Amen

When righteous people are in authority
The people rejoice and peace reigns supreme

But when a dubious character like Buhari is in power
Expect chaos and anarchy to rule the land

Say no to impunity
Say no to killing of innocent Christians
Say no to Buhari

Nigeria ought to be number one on the list
It was certainly a doctored list

BUT One Guy Said We Are Officially At Peace Now ?

Buhari and his family should plan a family vacation to Bama to alley people's fear on insecurity.
