America should sit down with this yeye alert. Two of my friends were shot driving along Peachtree rd in Atlanta last month .  One Yoruba and Edo guy for nothing.  Just stop for traffic light and bang!bang! and wake up in Grady hospital.
There is no day in atlanta , new jersy,washington or new york you wont hear somebody's death from gang or drug business.

You can run your mouth all day; America is still substantially safer than Nigeria. In America, you can drive with confidence at anytime of the day or night. You can even drive, for example, from Atlanta to New York all night without fear that armed robbers will attack you. And even in the rare incident that you become a victim of armed robbery, you can best be assured that it will be thoroughly investigated, and hopefully the culprits will be brought to face the wrath of the law.

Granted, as there is no society completely free of violence, yes there are still robberies and home invasions in America, but no way near the blatant kidnappings and korokoro armed robbery being perpetrated by those hooligans in Nigeria with impunity. Sadly, the Nigerian police, although understandably underfunded and ill equipped to investigate crime, does practically nothing to abate these melancholy.

the Southeastern states of Abia, Edo, Imo
So US consulate officers do not know the difference between southeast and south-south? Is Edo in SE or SS? No wonder they cared less when terrorist's dad told them of his son's suicidal mission.

Your reaction is as valid as any.

America reviews the security conditions of its citizens around the world.  They don't expect affected countries to like it, and it is up to them to react the way they want - it would be fed into the next review. They also do this for other countries, including Western ones - it is not malicious, though it sometimes sound exaggerated when it concerns Nigeria.

Only last month the U.S. issued alerts about terror activities in Europe with the arrest of German Alqaeda trainees.

Nigeria needs to take this in stride and be honest with our security situation. This review is an indicator of a deteriorating situation that no one can deny.

I just returned from 2 weeks in Owerri & PH and nothing happened to me. I walk along the streets (ok not on PH) and travel at night. I am blonde and white as can be and I have never had any trouble there except with the police wanting my money. However, I have no illusions and I know that it is not so safe there for me  & I will definitely not take my kids there at this time. Something to consider is that we also have travel advisory for much of the world right now even Europe. The government here is just highly cautious and thorough.
To those who are saying the US is so unsafe, come on know, are you high? Of course crime happens here and sometimes shocking things happen, but I don't ever lock my doors at night or rarely my car. My kids are safe to walk the road at night. I know that if I call 911 the police will be here in a matter of minutes, and they will actually help me. Can you say that?

Funny how the US gives travel advice concerning other countries yet more of her citizens die violently within the boarders of the US of A ! I think this is a blessing in disguise for Nigeria as less and less American companies will be coming to Nigeria to steal/corrupt Nigeria government officials! shocked

Why can't they just say Osama bin Laden nee Obasanjo is hiding in Otta planning political terrorist attacks grin grin grin,  gues while that trave ladvice was being put up, many more American citizens were being shot in post office and shopping malls! At least I have never heard of a drive by killing in Nigeria!

Well they did the same thing for US citizens traveling to Europe. It was on CNN, they were talking about how to carry passports without being noticed. They are just being careful.

Yeah, as like few days ago. US citizens should be very careful if they visit France and Germany, especially Berlin.

Avoid huge events!
Walk around with very opened eyes!
Avoid sights!

I guess they more and more suffer from paranoia.

Nigerians just love to play the ostrich!
Face facts,NIgeria is not safe, no where is especially the southeast,south-south and some scattered parts of the north.
I don't see any probs with the alert, its just that of a responsible govt trying to forewarn her citizens unlike myts reponsibilit dear country.
You dont need to be an intelligence expert to issue such warning, just read through Nigerian dailies.Even Nigerians abroad take these warnings seriously, i know many people in the UK who refused to go home for the traditional xmas festivities last year cos they were afraid of kidnaps in the south east.
The nigerian govt needs to wake up to its responsibilities.

Quote from Princek12
the post should read "eastern Nigeria" travel warning, because all the states to which the U.S. Dept. State warns U.S. citizens not to travel are mostly the Ibo, south eastern states and the Niger Delta, save for Jos and Borno and Lagos armed robbers. But the kidnapping occurrences, so I hear, in the southeastern region has escalated to epidemic proportions. All those MEND dudes who are plying their kidnapping trade need to be shot to death. All those so called dudes who are engaging in thuggery and kidnapping under the pretext of fighting for freedom fighters need to be arrested, mutilated, and beheaded.




Likes of you are the problem of this country.
