I don't understand why Nigeria is not on the list, with the high level of insecurity? . What an irony. And some of those countries are not even "dangerous"; North Korea (in fact NK is unofficially one of the safest places on earth; no robbery, terrorism, pickpockets, kidnapping, cult/cartel, traffickers, burglars, etc), Honduras, Belarus for example, but when the West don't like you, they will always make you appear terrible. I mean, if a country like NK without gang or cartel violence is listed as "most dangerous", then the US, UK (stabbing stabbing country ), France and others should be what ? I'm pro-west by the way , but the truth do not restrict/restrain you from telling it ..

In case y'all don't know.. Yet.. These Islamic terrorists are on another level, kidnappings and other attacks have tripled since that Christmas day bombing, but none are getting the attention of the media because your government care about maintaining a fake reputation than letting out the rot in public! What these terrorists do is that, after collecting ransom, seeing your person alive is 20/100. A lot is happening low key, let's become more cautious and deep in observations, a silent war has been launched against Nigerians (North and South)...

Western puppet
Since Nigeria is not on the list ,Una don dey panic say Una hustle don cast abi?
Yeye
Last last all of Una enemies of our country progress no go rest cos no peace for the wicked

Yes it's official, but to the Prime Minister and government officials
Not the King
This will be the fist time the KING will be hosting government officials in 37 years

Anyway, Ukraine would have been a better SUPERPOWER than Russia if they hadn't surrendered their Nuclear Weapons.

Which was a very big mistake that they are regretting now

Dogalmighty17:
This is one of the biggest scandals ever. That the press is silent about it is a disgrace. That the supreme court is available to the highest bidder makes a mockery of law and justice.

No wonder someone like Wike appears untouchable. He knows the judges can be influenced. But let's not even dwell on that. Remember the case of Peter Odili? The supreme court granted a perpetual injunction banning the EFCC from ever investigating him for financial misdeeds as a former governor of Rivers state. Not that the court even bothered asking the EFCC to prove its case but it outrightly barred the EFCC from carrying out its mandate under the law.

Had it been the Justices gave victory to Give Yusuf, the Press would have have a field day with the story
Making a sensation out of it won't make any difference since Kwankwaso effort to subvert justice didn't work out

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

The quiet Isiekwulu village in Ukpo community, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, was thrown into grief over the weekend, as a widow and her five children, who lost their lives in a tragic fire incident in Burkina Faso, were laid to rest amid tears, anguish, and disbelief.

Happening exactly two years after the death of the breadwinner and father of the house, the burial ceremony, which held on Friday, consequently marked the end of the family already devastated by loss. Sympathizers, relatives, and well-wishers from within and outside the state thronged the community to witness what many described as one of the most painful funerals the area had seen in recent times.

According to reports, the deceased, Mrs. Uchenna Ngozichukwu Akubue (aged 47) and her five children: Justin Onyinyechukwu (aged 18), Chinenye Joan (aged 16), Chiemerie Victory (aged 16); Victor-Mary Chidike (aged 9), and Chidimma Epiphania (aged 6), died on December 23, 2025, after a candlelight ignited a fire that consumed their residence in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, where the family had lived for years.

The ceremony commenced with a solemn burial service held at St. Simon Catholic Parish, Akaezi-Ukpo, for the repose of their souls, after which they proceeded to the family compound in Isiekwulu village where their remains were interred, in an atmosphere charged with sorrow, considering the family’s painful history.

The husband of the deceased woman, Mr. Innocent Chinedu Akubue, it was gathered, had died just two years earlier in the same Burkina Faso after a brief illness. He was said to be about 50 years old at the time of his death, leaving behind his wife and five young children in the foreign land.

Few years before his death, Innocent was said to have had built a modern one-storey building in his hometown of Isiekwulu village, hoping to provide comfort for his family whenever they returned home from abroad for Christmas celebration. However, sadly, he did not live long enough to enjoy the home, and even more devastatingly, neither did his wife nor children.

With the burial of the widow and her children, the house now stands as the only physical reminder of a family completely wiped out by fate.

Narrating the family’s painful journey, a cousin of the late Innocent, Elder Paul Uche Akubue, described the incident as a devastating blow that defied explanation. He revealed that Innocent was the last surviving child of his parents, having lost his three siblings earlier in life, while their parents had also died years before.

According to him, Innocent initially left Ukpo for Lagos, where he established himself in the motor spare parts business, before later relocating to Burkina Faso. He was described as a devout Catholic who got married in Burkina Faso to Uchenna, also an indigene of Ukpo, and together they raised all five of their children in the West African country.

The cousin further disclosed that the tragedy almost ended in a mass burial abroad, as the Burkina Faso government offered and proposed to bury the six victims there. However, Igbo indigenes resident in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Togo reportedly rejected the plan and insisted that the bodies must be returned home.

Through collective effort and sacrifice, the Igbo community in those countries reportedly raised a total of ₦33.8 million to repatriate the remains to Nigeria for burial. Elder Paul described their support as overwhelming, noting that without their intervention, the family would have been denied the dignity of a home burial.

Despite the crushing loss, he expressed faith in God, stating that the tragedy, painful as it is, would not weaken his belief. He also noted that while human understanding fails in moments like this, he has chosen to accept the situation as part of divine mystery beyond human control.

When asked how it happened, Elder Paul recounted how he first received a distress call from Burkina Faso on December 23rd on the day of the incident, informing him that his cousin’s house had been engulfed in flames. According to him, later that same day, he received confirmation that the widow and all five children had perished in the inferno, a development that plunged the entire family into shock and grief.

On her own side, the late woman's younger sister, Mrs. Onyinyechukwu Nwafor, was visibly broken during the burial. Struggling to speak, she lamented that her elder sister and all her children were gone, leaving behind an empty home now occupied only by a security guard and caretaker.

Only God know wetin the man involve in wey make all his family perish like this after him, no be ordinary
That's why people should think twice before doing evil cos the evil you did may consume your family also, not just only you

RIP to the dead

Sorry to say, but the truth is often bitter...

Ogun State ought to be far better than it is, considering its immense wealth and the presence of numerous companies and industries in the state. A lot of people that can't find spaces in Lagos settle for it.
In terms of development, Unfortunately, the reality tells a different story. It remains deeply underdeveloped, burdened by consistently ineffective governance. The road infrastructure is among the worst in the country-arguably the worst.

Were it not for its proximity to Lagos State and Ibadan, Ogun would likely be in an even more dire state- possibly worse than Kogi, Niger, Benue etc.

If Oyo has the opportunity it has by being next to Lagos it will make better use of it
It seems Ogun state is cursed and they have produced Two past heads of state and two past vice

Only few Teaching Hospitals has it in Nigeria

It's only hospitals n those places that are endemic to snake bites that keep anti snake venoms , I used to live In such a place and the general hospital keeps anti snake venoms

Soludo also claimed that trillions were missing. Why did you not mention his name

What greater shock is there for Nigerians beyond the extreme poverty shege that has worsened since Tinubu got his own turn to continue APC cluelessness three years ago?

What is the price of petrol now? What was it in January 2023 when Tinubu promised to crash it?

How much is the subsidy Nigerians are being forced to pay now for the massive corruption in APC’s oil sector

Charles Soludo as CBN governor also raised alarm that money was missing
Are you now satisfied?

Everyone in 2023 Elections said they will remove pertol Subsidy
Infact Buhari already did and didn't make Provisions for it in 2023 budget, so talk something else
Of course you know but want to pretend for Opposition Politics that we were living a fake life where prices were low due to unsustainable subsidies
For the past two years , businesses have clarity and reliable economic indicators unlike the past, they can now plan on a stable currency and can reasonably make projections that will favour their companies.
Of course you are free to continue hating and being stick in the past, it's your choice , other Nigerians will enjoy the Prosperity this government promised and Is delivering

Una don forget say Pbat was also with y'all when you were using stuffs like this to fight GEJ.
I recall it was Emir Sanusi as CBN governor that was always raising alarm of missing money often billions of dollars.
Now opposition wan use the same tactics on him but they will be shocked

Some mumu Nigerians will be celebrating. They don't know that it'll take them about a thousand years to even crash a plane like that

NASA rockets and planes crash more often than you know
For any successful mission, many rockets don crash before the one that made it finally succeed
They now rely heavily on Civilian Companies like spaceX

🇺🇸 United States Of Americrash ✈️ ⚰️

America happened to the aircraft

Reference:
Well the 'kidnapped President " is not considered the legitimate leader of a country where elections are always bent to keep him in power. Moreover the person who is in charge now was his deputy, so the Americans have satisfied both sides of the argument as far as Venezuela is concerned.

Much like the Rivers state of Nigeria matter. You just don't know where to land because whoever you support is wrong. A governor rigged into power or an overlord seeking to control him.

Guess it is the prime paradox of our time and the lessons are simple. Do the right thing to have a genuine case.

They claim Maduro rigged Elections and removed him only to hand over Power to his deputy who also rigged Elections with him

No matter how they paint it what is wrong is wrong
The Venezuela Operations is wrong on all counts

Makinde is now the new betrayer for challenging Tinubu abi? The Southwest will not understand what they are doing to themselves until it's too late. Kwankwaso decamped from APC and contested against Buhari. Yet, no Northerner brands him a betrayer. The same cannot be said of how you people treated Osinbajo, Aregbesola, Sanwo-olu, Fayemi, Ambode, etc. Buhari died suddenly without warning but the North is not short of leaders that can represent it nationally. Who will replace Tinubu in the region? He's already close to the end of his political shelf life. Are you all thinking long-term at all?

Didn't Makinde and the G5 Betray Atiku and Pdp in 2023?
He's a very big Snitch and People will snitch on him too
Kwankwaso Also snitched on someone to become who he is.
To go far in Politics and be a boss of your own, you will snitch and displace and existing Politician/Godfather or else you want to remain subservient to others
To the afenifere people, Tinubu is a snitch, but if he didn't do what he did, he won't become who he became

Imagine at a time Nigerians and other non-European nationals are being deported from USA. If i can just make it into Greenland and integrate well, Denmark or USA is sure after the dust of whatever they have going on has settled.

Who knows how i can get into greenland peacefully and in one piece please?

Odin13:
Tinubu is not banking on Arewa to fly his kite in 27” he betray the entire north with his tax reform .. was a direct hit . He knew he lost northwest and he cares less on losing northeast now that’s he trying to please USA with a Christian vice .
Losing elrufai was the first bold mistake he made .. he’s trying to do away with the strong political class in north and build his own northern political class that will remain loyal to him , so as to run Nigeria as he did in Lagos .Forgotten that he’s dealing with northern Nigeria , and not Yoruba tribe that bows and worships him. He has already made his mistakes boldly and he’s people had believe him and called him jagaban.. so no going back at this moment .. so he woke to money politics to buy out the governors .. hoping they will do his biding .. but good luck treatment by Arewa will be chides to what is coming to him .. even with his dollars .. Gej threw in more dollars .. but it was late .
I pray and wish he makes his final mistake on shettima.. and Adc brings on Atiku.. then is game over for APC as a party and asiwaju as president


Power to the people !

GEJs Problem with Arewa is different from PBATs problem
As at 2015 GEJ has no business being on the ballot as the south had ruled for 13 out of 15 years of democracy and no politician in the north worth his salt was ready to allow power remain in the south, even those in the PDP then worked against it, but GEJ was misled by his kinsmen
In 2027, it's still the turn of the south and northerners largely still know and believe power should remain in the south to complete the souths turn
Forget noise from Atiku and his gang including Eleufai and co, most northern Politicians favour power remaining in the south because they will need the southerners by 2031 when Power is expected to return back to the north
Atikus desperation is because by then he will be too old to rule

The matter is not settled. The woman hasn’t changed. She was raised in a toxic environment and believes violence is the best means of showing affection. Either she tired of her son frustrating her to contact his father or she realized that single men are not ready to deal with another’s offspring.

I thought I was the only one with this thinking

Won't be surprised if after some months she begins another drama, best thing Churchill should do is take away his son from her , her type don't change like that
Na something trigger all this her change drama, either her son is asking for his father
Or she met someone that showed he real life shege Pro max wey make her decide to become born again

Evilthoughts:
If you noticed the recent videos of ishowspeed around Africa you would be embarrassed by how our people acted. Nigerians were begging and expecting handouts which sends bad signals to any visitor. I have visited Kenya and they don't beg foreigners, foreigners might give them something out of the goodness of their hearts but they don't harass them.

I have lived in South Africa for years and you will never see them begging tourists or foreigners, even the poor ones act very proud when they see you are not one of them. Why do we always want to project ourselves in bad light infront of strangers even though we are the better Africans with more pride,global respect and hustling spirit. This is why we are even getting disrespected by small small African countries that should be begging to clean our houses for free .
Let us stop the beggy beggy culture, it makes us look weak to outsiders. You can't be begging strangers in your own home. Look at what those weak South African footballers did when they were in Nigeria,giving out food from moving bus windows to humiliate us. Do you think they would take that if the Eagles did same to them? They would stone our players and accuse them of demeaning them. We need to change this behavior before it's too late .

Na GREED
the same thing that makes our Politicians rob the country blind

See talk and stewpid history distortion. Barre that was fighting his own people and was responsible for isaaq massacre. If there was anyone that removed him, it was the soviets as he was no longer their friend.

The Russians stepped in when CIA failed

The movie black hawk down is about how America lost its black hawk helicopter in the failed mission

Orlandoo:
Support Trump fully because it is the same thing you guys tell Igbos, Not to be involved in Lagos politics. How can someone come from Somalia and be dictating to Americans how to govern themselves.

If Americans didn't go to her country to be playing Imperial games she won't seek refuge in America

In 50 years to come, the Europe will see the real result of what they're causing today.

UK don dey see am already
The Mayor of London is of Pakistani origin
Rishi Sunak of Indian Origin was Prime minister not too long ago
Don't be surprised in Future where you have a Prime minister of Chinese origin
And a Chancellor of the exchequer of Indian Origin

AMINDA:
What does it matter? This changes nothing in the grand scheme of things. Can Makinde do more than he did for Tinubu as member of G5 in 2023? Tinubu invited him to probably apologise and induce him to jettison his presidential ambition. He will keep doing that because we already told you that the only way he can return elected, is to be the only candidate on the ballot. Tinubu is afraid and it clearly shows. We know the whole drama between Wike and Makinde was scripted and was a strategy to destroy the PDP, but it has backfired because the main opposition figures have aligned. Tinubu will now sacrifice the political ambitions of Penkelemesi and Teslim in favour of Makinde's candidate. He only cares about his own ambition.

Who be this clown
Tinubu afraid of who?
You no Sabi Politics
And FYI
Penkelemesi is the next governor of Oyo state
Tinubu has settled the rift in Oyo APC by making Ajimobi wife Ambassador and Teslin Folarin is heading his reelection campaign in South west paving the way for Penkele to Emerge unopposed

DeLaRue:
Don't mess around with a Nigerian President that knows how to use power.

That's Jagaban for you

Eventually the G5 misadventures is a very big LOSS for Seyi Makinde
He betrayed his party
Couldn't get his nominee to be Minister
And has now Lost his chance at being a Presidential candidate

This should be a lesson for others that want to learn

This road needs extra reinforcement because it's the major road taken by trailers and articulated vehicles going up north as it's shorter to get to the core north through this road

Orlandoo:
We all know it was America's invention. Even Trump can remove the incompetent Tinubu within minutes if he wants. Tinubu is useless to Nigerians.

The "only nation Protected by GOD crew" will not agree with you , even though they know it was USA technology and not any GOD

Namaster:
The moment he said the EU was formed to "screw the US", they should have DEALT with him.

This is the only thing in his red head for now all he wants is undermine Europe as much as possible, even if it means making Russia a friend so long as it undermines Europe he will do it

KIER STARMER SHOULD PLEASE RENEGOTIATE THE BUILDING OF CHINA SUPER EMBASSY OPPOSITE THE BIG BELL IN LONDON.
ENGLAND MAY BUILD THE EMBASSY BY CHINA PLAN WITH BRITISH POUNDS AND RENT OR LEASE IT TO CHINA. SO BRITAIN IS THE LANDLORD OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND CHINA THE TENANT

Eventually China and India will take over England afterall it's industrialization was with Indian and Chinese technology and resources

Don't be surprised in future when you have an Indian Prime minister , Chinese deputy PM and maybe a Pakistani Chancellor of the exchequer

Kajaard:
This has come to stay. Expect more of this trend happening.

Blame the men giving them money while they neglect their wives and children.

Abi more women are now independent and moved out of their Parents houses before marriage
All in all, it's a new era
