10 - Bangkok,
Thailand
Thailand is the #1
producer of opium
and heroin in the
world. A major
transit for those
drugs is the capital
Bangkok.
Therefore making
it unsafe. Last
year they had,
20,000 assaults,
13,500 burglaries,
and 5,000 murders.
That ranks top in
south East Asia.
The violence and
crime due to social
unrest makes
Bangkok top 10
for sure.
9 - Guatemala
City, Guatemala
The government is
very corrupt, they
get paid off every
day by the drug
lords. Guatemala
City is a hot spot in
South America for
drug smugglers,
and foreign mobs.
There is a high
crime rate in this
capital city, and
many tourists are
victims of armed
robbery, rape and
even murder. Do
not walk the
streets at night,
and forget about
your wallet and
jewelry.
8 - Baghdad, Iraq
It doesn't matter
who you are,
you're not safe in
Iraq. It is a ruined
nation that is
rattled with crime
and violence. A lot
of despair in
Baghdad. Since
the war started in
2003, the US has
been in Iraq which
has led to a civil
war. More than
650,000 civilians
have died. Hussein
has destroyed this
countries
reputation. Al-
Qaeda and Kurdish
rebels and
criminals are
involved in
violence that goes
on every day.
Explosives and
mines are a
constant threat,
as are suicide
bombers who have
killed thousands.
Kidnappings and
random killings
happen every day.
Since the US got
there in 2003,
millions of Iraqis
have fled to other
countries and
millions more in
Iraq remains
displaced. Nuclear
devices to poison
the people there
and the inherent
gunfire killing
civilians everyday
makes Baghdad
truly hell on earth.
7 - Grozny,
Chechnya,
Russia
There is more
Russian Mafia in
this place than
police. This city is
not run by
government
officials, but by
gangsters. A
Russian is
murdered here
every 20 minutes.
That's almost 85
murders a day.
Sure there is 100's
of millions of
people in Russia,
but that's an
astonishing stat.
Prostitution and
drug trafficking
run by the Russian
crime syndicate or
definitely real in
this place.
Kidnappings and
rapes, just to
name a handful of
tests you will face
when you visit
here. Chechnya is
absolutely a third
world city.
Foreigners should
think twice before
visiting here.
6 - Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil
If you're planning
on travelling to
Brazil, think twice.
It is not a matter
of where your
mugged it is when.
When you get off
the plane in Rio,
they hand you a
pamphlet that
tells people they
should have no
jewelry any wallet
policy when they
walk around. Crime
rates have soared
over the past 2
yrs. A drug cartel,
called the
Piranhas, resides
in Rio, and they
are responsible for
many murders and
abductions. There
were 8000
murders in Rio last
year, that is close
to 20 murders a
day. Most of the
murders happen in
the poverty
stricken areas, but
the city as a whole
is growing in
severe poverty
problems.
5 - Bogota,
Colombia
Bogota is the main
port for drugs and
guns coming up
from Colombia to
panama. People
get murdered in
plain daylight
every day. Forget
going out at night.
You need to be
packing heat. It
beats most South
American cities by
far. I think that
carrying a machete
around on your
back, is a very
good way to avoid
a mugging. It's
also easily
explained to
immigration, as
long as there's
some jungle
around. Speaking
the local language
and knowing a
little about
fighting is a good
idea, just in case. I
would avoid
Bogota if traveling
to South America.
4 - Cape Town,
South Africa
Murder and
robbery stats
have been very
high for many
years in Cape
Town. In one year
they had 71,500
sexual offenses,
18,400 burglaries
and 13,900
business
robberies. There
are approximately
50 murders a day
in South Africa and
more than 1/2 of
those murders are
in Cape Town. The
city is in a huge
recession making
robberies very
common. Cape
Town is in a great
state of poverty,
making crime a
part of the
peoples everyday
life. Going out at
night is not
advised.
3 - Mogadishu,
Somalia
It is really hard to
find statistical
information on this
city, but I know
I've seen it on the
top of many lists.
Even with no data
to report on this
city, the
governments
warning to travel
here is extremely
high. Mogadishu
has one of the
highest terrorist
populations in the
world. There is an
ongoing civil war
going on in
Somalia's capital,
which poses a
huge risk to
anyone travelling
there.

2 - Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico
This place has a
serious problem
with robbery,
kidnapping, sexual
assault and drug-
related crimes. 120
killings per
100,000 residents.
Ciudad Juarez is
located just across
the USA border. It
has 1.5 million
people and a really
bad reputation.
Recently drug
Cartels have
started a war
against one
another, making it
very dangerous
for travellers. This
place is Violent.
They are the
number two city in
the world for
murders, most of
them drug-related.
50% of all murders
in Mexico come
from Ciudad
Juarez.
1 - Caracas,
Venezuela
Latin America is by
far the most
dangerous place in
the world. If you
searched
dangerous places
on the internet,
you would find at
least 20 South
American countries
on the list. With
drug cartels, and
poverty, Caracas,
the capital of
Venezuela, ranks
the highest for
murder and crime
in the world. Per
100,000 people
this city has the
highest rate of
murders,
kidnappings, and
rapes in 2009. 130
murders and 537
reported
kidnappings. They
have nicknamed
the city the
murder capital of
the world. Not to
mention
Venezuela is the
world leader in
drug trafficking
mainly cocaine.
The country has
increased its
poverty level since
the 1970's 300%.
In In the last 5 yrs.
Caracas has
topped the list for
homicides by
population. You
better be a
mobster if you
plan on visiting
Caracas.

people wey create this list never go round the world well.

Where is Yemen? Where is Afghanistan here? Where is El Paso Mexico and whats Rio doing there? Where is Jos?

Is such a dumb post.

since there is no Nigeria in that list, then i will say the list is inaccurate.

^^,

By the way, which of the Nigerian cities? , just curious?

I rather live Bangkok than any where in Nigeria. Ask any expat in Thailand and they would say the same.

BTW, There are more Nigerians in Thai prison for drugs violations than any other foreign nationals.

. . . .yea those who go there to abuse Thai kids and bribe their way out of it, something they wouldn't dare do in Nigeria.

if they can only do it ones in Thai and go to jail, then they can do it 10 times in Nigeria without going to jail.

They wouldn't get away with it in Nigeria, the moment pple spot any dirty old white man with a black Nigerian kid, alarm bell will start ringing.

Thailand is a big holiday destination for alot of westerns, Thai pple are used to having Westerns around, some go there for chairty work, some go there to teach English, something that is not very common in Nigeria.

where is ABA, and jos

unipol:

where is[b] ABA[/b], and jos

i reside there and i was going to ask d same question.

so why isn't lagos in the list?
