Nairaland General10 African Countries With Worst Passport In 2024 by Mdaz(op): 10:17am On May 05, 2024
today’s interconnected world, the power of a passport extends far beyond its physical pages. It represents freedom, global mobility, and opportunities for its holders.

The Henley Passport Index, a global ranking system established in 2006 and revamped in 2018, annually evaluates and ranks 199 passports to determine the travel freedoms afforded to their bearers.

Ranking criteria
The Henley Passport Index assesses the number of destinations passport holders can access without a prior visa, termed their “visa-free score.”

This analysis is facilitated through a collaboration with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and utilises their comprehensive global travel database.
With 227 potential destinations considered, the index provides a detailed look at the mobility barriers faced by citizens of various countries.
This feature article explores the passports from African nations that offer the least freedom of movement, examining the broader implications and underlying causes of their rankings.

Ten African countries with weakest passports
Africa features several countries at the lower end of the passport power spectrum.

Here are the 10 African countries with the most restricted travel freedom:



These rankings were influenced by a range of factors, including diplomatic relations, security issues, and economic stability.

Case studies
Focusing on Somalia and Nigeria, Nairametrics analysis shows the individual circumstances contributing to their low passport rankings. In Somalia, ongoing civil war and limited government infrastructure severely restrict international relationships. On the other hand, Nigeria, despite being one of Africa’s largest economies, struggles with security concerns and diplomatic isolation in some regions, impacting its international mobility.

Global context and comparison
When contrasted with countries like Germany and Singapore, where passport holders can access nearly 194 countries visa-free, the disparities in global mobility are stark. Such discrepancies highlight the need for international cooperation and support to improve passport power in underprivileged nations.

“Passports are about the reputations of nations. When your country is notorious for crimes or does not seem to make headway on issues like terrorism, you cannot expect other nations to rank you so high.

Nairaland GeneralDifferent Calenders On Earth by Mdaz(op): 8:58am On Dec 31, 2022
_*MANY CALENDARS, ONE EARTH.*_

1. Gregorian Calendar
2. Pawukon Calendar (Bali, Indonesia)
3. Ethiopian Calendar
4. Jewish Calendar
5. Chinese Calendar
6. Heijira Calendar
7. Persian Calendar
8. Japanese Calendar
9. Julian Calendar
10. Buddhist Calendar
11. Hindu Calendar (Vikram Samvat, Shaka Samvat, and Kali Yuga)
12. Mayan Calendar
13. Egyptian Calendar
14. French Revolutionary Calendar
15. Sumerian Calendar
16. Zoroastrian Calendar
17. Celtic Calendar
18. Cappadocian Calendar
19. Achaemenid Calendar
20. Attic Calendar
21. Ancient Greek Calendars.

_Up there� you have over 20 different calendars in use or once in use in the world._

_I decided to dig into this to let you know that the Gregorian Calendar in use in most part of the world, Nigeria inclusive, is not the only regulator of man and his activities on earth._

_In other words, while we're in a mad rush to make it before December 31st, 2022 some persons in another part of the world are less concerned about our death-race hustling. This is because these Calendars do not begin and end the same time._

_I want you to take it easy with yourself. Man invented calendar and over the years adjusted it, abandoned it or reinvented it to suit his purpose. You must know January 1st is not the beginning of the year for everyone on earth._

_Likewise, December 31st isn't the end of the year for everybody on earth. Instead of killing yourself for not achieving your goals for the year, try to draw up a broad plan for yourself and pursue it throughout the days of your sojourn on earth._

_You're created for great things. Pursue these things._
