UK media can be funny at times..
How can they place Akwa Ibom, Cross river, Delta and Abia state..side to side with some Northern states?
So only Lagos and Abuja and every western state is safe?

I guess you are not in any of these States. Pls ask and you will confirm that this is not fake news or some propaganda. The good thing is that like rain when its good we all enjoy it and if its bad we all suffer it. So no need for arguments.

Fake, how you mention Akwa Ibom, when last was there a report of attacks in that State... This people should just go and sit down instead of steering unnecessary violence

UK media is the worst in the world

But I don't really blame them, when you have an incompetent, unrepentant terrorist piloting the affairs of a nation, it's best and believable to tell your country people to avoid that place.

Buhari have caused more harm than good to this country, let God save us through the judiciary because 4 years with this sick despotic bastard will be a disaster
What did they say that is untrue? Is it wrong for them.to caution their citizens?

You have the right to comment as you wish but the mods also have a right to regulate your comments

Do not insult me. Sir

I merely stated a clear intentional act by you to incite and ridicule other tribes here

You have been cautioned

Cheers


So because I commented that no South West state was on the list, it means I am ridiculing other tribes?

I was only expressing my concerns for the state of affairs in my region and I did not intend to ridicule any regions

No South West state was on the list and that's a fact

You are the one overthinking things and over reacting to my comment

A day or so after Eniola Aluko was brutally gunned down right in the UK that they make us believe is safer?

Omo, every nation has security challenges, no be una holy pass jor.
Hmmn, the fact you're able to get the name of this person that was murdered shows they take people's lives more serious over there. Every country has security challenges but there are different levels of risks/threats on a day to day. We've probably had more than 100 Eniola Aluko's brutally murdered in Nigeria in June but just seems normal, it hasn't even made international news. And no names!

What is happening in Nigeria is not normal in a country not at war and UK is responding accordingly.

Nigeria should also be advising its citizens not to travel to south africa, middle east, libya but they couldn't care less. People will go there anyway.

This is really just an oyibo tourist guide. Can you blame them?

To think, across in Gambia they are bringing their children to beach holidays and boosting their economy.

You only have to look at the Nigeria (below) tourism website to see our problem. We are advertising a place boldly that only a few weeks ago was the scene of the MURDER of a British tourist!!??

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom has warned British nationals against travelling to about 21 states in Nigeria over security concerns.

The travel warning posted on its website and updated on Monday, stemmed from the worsening security situation occasioned by the Boko Haram terrorists attacks in the North East, armed banditry in the North-West and militancy in the South-South.



Specifically, the FCO advised against all travels to Borno; Yobe; Adamawa; Gombe; and the riverine areas of Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.

The British government also cautioned against trips to within 20km of the border with Niger and Zamfara states.

The FCO further advised against all but essential travel to Bauchi, Zamfara, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Kogi and within 20km of the border with Niger in Sokoto and Kebbi states including the non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Abia States.

The advisory admonished British nationals to avoid crowds including political meetings, religious gatherings and places of worship, markets, shopping malls, hotels, bars, restaurants, transport hubs and camps for displaced persons.

“Attacks could be indiscriminate and could affect western interests as well as places visited by tourists. Besides Abuja, other major towns and cities remain particularly at risk, including Kano and Kaduna,” it stated.

The FCO noted that there was a high threat of kidnap throughout the country, adding that abductions could be motivated by criminality or terrorism, and could be carried out for financial or political gain.

It stated, “The security environment in the northeast has deteriorated since 2018 and there is a heightened risk of kidnap.

“There is also a high threat of criminal kidnap in the Niger Delta region and Kogi State. If you travel to areas to which the FCO advise against travel, you are particularly at risk and will need a high level of security.”

Even Sweden, go to their Nigeria embassy website you will see it there.

If they feel Nigeria is not safe to live why are they not granting asylum to Nigerians in their country who claim they ran away from crisis

Is Buhari also responsible for this?. Is he the only one responsible for fixing the shithole?. Is this how a country moves forward by discriminating along religious line?.

Is Buhari responsible for this?. If this happens in the UK such company would be in trouble.
