The report, which is published by the Institute for Economics and Peace sees Nigeria ahead of many war-torn countries such as Yemen, South Sudan, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. Mexico tops the list with Iraq following in second place. Nigeria is, tragically, just one step behind Afghanistan.

The report also notes that as at 2008, Nigeria had no reported deaths from internal conflicts which indicates a huge increase in deaths from internal conflicts during the 8-year period.

In the surge of increasing police and army extrajudicial killings with recent incidences in mass murder of civilians by Nigerian troops in Zaria Shi’te Muslims massacre and killing of pro-Biafra protesters contributed to the statistics of deaths.

Boko Haram terrorist attacks in the North East region of the country and genocidal attacks by Fulani herdsmen militia in the North Central and part of the southern Nigeria impacted the Global Peace Index causing it to drop generally from 119 in 2008 to 149 in 2016.


This new ranking signifies a deteriorating state of peace in the country.

Nigeria’s current president, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) came into office mid-2015 promising to “crush Boko Haram”, but violence has increased in the country since he assumed office with increased number of non-state actors and state forces engaging in extrajudicial killings.

A local Nigerian newspaper, Daily Trust, on Sunday, July 10, 2016 reported that the world’s deadliest terrorist group, Boko Haram is still controlling three local government areas in Borno State and a large part of its enclave Sambisa forest. This report contradicts claims by the government that government troops had “dissipated” the terrorists.

In what people called a bizarre spiritual attack, a Pastor Of a Christ Apostolic Church in Warri has died several months after losing his entire family to a mission house fire.

51-year-old Pastor John Kayode died after inhaling generator fumes at his home in Warri last week.

The deceased who was transferred to Love District in Ughello South LGA of Delta State about two weeks ago died in his home on the 26th of June 2016 after he placed the generator in the corridor of his residence and slept off.

Residents of Agbarho were shocked when the news of his death went viral.

Reacting to the sad incident, Pastor Emmanuel Orode, the Chairman of the Coordinating Council of CAC, Warri District said the mysterious incident is a bad omen.

“This is beyond human comprehension that Pas­tor John Kayode, who lost his entire family of five while attending a general meeting of pastors at Ikeji Arakeji in Osun State, September 2014 has also died almost in the same circumstance,” Pastor Orode said in tears.


The deceased cleric lost his entire family (a wife and 4 children) to a mysterious fire incident on the 25th of September 2014 while he was attending a pastors meeting in Ikeji Arakeji.

May his soul rest in peace (amen).

My dear fans, see obsession O. Are you guys watching this thing with Toyin Aimakhu and Tokunbo Aboderin? This Aboderin girl opens a fake instagram account in my name, uses it to attack me and my children, steals so many pictures and everyone was supporting the account HATING on me. Suddenly the account starts attacking Toyin Aimakhu not knowing that Toyin is one of my best red carpet interviews. Now her fans and bloggers are all confused.The account @KemiOlunloyo has already been reported to instagram and it's already a week now they are still investigating. They will probably verify my account at this point and yank it giving me the extra domain. I had to take @KemiOlunloyo from another troll on Twitter while in Canada. Tokunbo ashewo werey jati jati, I'm your boss. I have already yanked 3 of your blogposts. Your blog Esabod is NEXT. Keep violating copyright.

Dr. Xavier expressed gratitude to Nigeria Government for the support given to WAHO for the smooth take off of the regional center in Nigeria. He also thanked the technical partners for their supports.

In her welcome address, Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Dr. Amina Shamaki, represented by Director, Public Health, Dr. (Mrs.) Evelyn Ngige, urged the Governing Board to use their expertise in carrying out the assignment for the overall benefit of the West African populace.
