RockHard:
You are a well-known Ebonyi promoter here so this your list is in no way 'unbiased'. Besides, Ebonyi shouldn't be on that list, considering the intractable intercommunal, cross-border, herdsmen clashes that have been going on there for sometime now, leaving lots of dead people on its wake.

chris2face:
unbiased in deed i was enjoying ur post until u mentioned Ebonyi state,infact as far as igbo states are concerned Ebonyi is the worst in terms of peace,have u ever heard of the war between Ezaa and Eziulo or the one between Izzi and their calabar neigbours
I guess u dnt know these things,Enugu,Imo,Anambra,Abia are also more hospitalble than Ebonyians reason why u will NEVER FIND any thing Hausa gathering in Ebonyi unlike others where they have a place they do their business without any problems

PrecisionFx:
There's no list of peaceful states in Nigeria without Enugu n Calabar.

docadams:
I thought Katsina is very peaceful. I've not heard news of crime there. Or is there something I don't know

In Nigeria, the internal security of the state is widely regarded as one of the key indicators of a successful administration. The present administration had promised to put an end to the boko haram insurgent. They are still battling with it and the herdsmen invasion is rearing its ugly head. President Goodluck Jonathan spent many years in taming the militants in south-south Nigeria.

In this post, we shall highlight the top 5 most peaceful States in Nigeria. In case you are looking for a state with a low rate of ethnic wars, political wars and insurgency, then this post will be of great help for you.

#1. The FCT, Abuja

Abuja is the core of politics in Nigeria. All the top politicians are resident in Abuja and the internal security in Abuja is High. Since the Abuja bomb blast in 2014, there have not been any serious insurgent attack in the city of Abuja. The neighbouring state like Kogi, Nasarawa are all battling with serious herdsmen invasion while Abuja has been able to dispel serious security threats. Indeed, the FCT is one of the most peaceful States in Nigeria.

#2 Kebbi state

The rate of Political, religious and inter tribal wars are very low in kebbi. They don’t make the headlines for security issues. Kebbi is one of the most peaceful state in Nigeria. Governor Rocha’s Okorocha of Imo state once stated that Kebbi is the most peaceful state in the history of Nigeria. The statement is a testament of the fact that kebbi state is devoid of all forms of insurgency and other peace and security threats.

#3 Sokoto state

Sokoto state is situated in the North western region of Nigeria. Almost all the states around sokoto are struggling with serious security issues but sokoto has always remained unsoiled and unaffected by violence. Sokoto state is devoid of terrorism, herdsmen invasion, book haram insurgence and militants. Though there are some armed robbery incidents but they are not serious enough to affect the general peace of the state. Sokoto state is one of the most peaceful States in Nigeria.

#4 Akwa Ibom

Akwa Ibom has little or no record of religious wars. The state is dominated by Christians and is on most of the good lists in recent times. Akwa Ibom are known to be hospitable and welcoming to people from other tribes. Other tribes reside peacefully in Akwa Ibom with no worries of being attacked. During the peak of militancy, Akwa Ibom was among the south south states with the least number of militants and it remains one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria.

#5 Ebonyi state

The fact that Ebonyi state is among the most peaceful states in Nigeria is unarguable. Security threatening issues are very low in Ebonyi state. Cases of Suicide bombing, cult clashes, herdsmen invasion, book haram, religious wars and militancy are all very low in Ebonyi state.

Ebonyi records one of the lowest cases of ritual killings. Ebonyi is known to be very hospitable to strangers. People from other ethnic groups are bound to reside peacefully in Ebonyi state.

Spiritualism:
The best governor in the South East

Ezeakanobi:
We igbos don't like him

He has done nothing in the south east to earn my vote

Personally I don't care 4 d igbo presidency considering your average igbos man lives a much better life than your average northerner despite presidency rotating there.

Buhari kastina state has 82.2% living in extreme poverty compared to 11.1% in my Anambra State which has never produced a president.

I rather live in an economic viable state in Nigeria than boasting my state has produced a president while wallowing in poverty

Shinery0123:
U wan hear am. I am currently in Akwa Ibom and in my life I have never seen much bet shops as much as this. My first time seeing women playing. The bet shops get money so they even show football matches for free. They use a big storey building all for betting and this is not even the main city in Akwa Ibom. There youths, elders and women strictly devote themselves for betting.

Abagworo:
Imo State has the highest youth participation by a very wide margin for that matter. Maybe they are still counting retired politicians because as it stands presently it is a 20 to 40 thing in Imo politics. No old man allowed.

EVILFOREST:
IGBOS are not tribalistic.
They see the world we live in differently.
They love peace and harmony

selemempe:
see them...if ur state dey there na u no go talk nonsense...backward fools

Politics ke? Anambra youths are busy in Kuala Lumpor, Malaysia n Cambodia dem ... If you know you know

Lazy youths

A Civil Society Organisation (CSO), “67 Million Initiative’’ has rated Ebonyi, Akwa Ibom and Enugu as top states with the highest youths participation in politics.

One of the Conveners of the group, Mr Luqman Edu disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.


Edu said that the rating was done among youths between the ages of 18 and 45 years.


He noted that the data was collated by members of the group in the various states to reveal the rate of youths participation in their states under its “Rate Your State Initiative”.

The convener said the report would be published regularly to show the performance of the Federal Government and states regarding youths in elected positions.

According to him, the aim is to promote youth participation in politics.

“Ebonyi has the highest with 36 per cent youths participation, followed by Akwa Ibom and Enugu with 34 per cent each, Bauchi came fourth with 32 per cent.

“Imo and Niger states had 29 per cent each, Nasarawa 26 per cent, while Katsina, Kogi and Zamfara had 25 each and Kaduna 24.

“Meanwhile, Yobe and Kwara states recorded the least youths participation with 5.67 per cent, followed by Ogun with 7.67 per cent, Osun, Jigawa, and Bayelsa had barely 9.67 per cent.

Edu said that the data revealed the low participation of youths in politics, a narrative the group was working to change.

Another Convener, Mr Mark Okoye, the Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Anambra, said that the “67 Million Initiative’’ was a coalition of Nigerians with the mandate to galvanise active youth to participate in politics and to support youth friendly policies.

Okoye said that the aim of the group was to also create a voice for the 67 million youths, irrespective of religion, political party, tribe or gender.

He said that the aim was to build and leverage on the bloc vote of youths for their interest to get many young people appointed into various positions in the states.

Mr Muhammed Abdulahi, Commissioner, Ministry of Budget and Planning, Kaduna State said that the group would begin its work at the grassroots.

Abdullahi said that for the 2019 elections, the group would support the emergence of young candidates across all political platforms at the state and National Assembly levels.

He said that with this initiative, states would be closely monitored to know the level of youths in elected offices while mentoring them to vie for elective positions.

Mr Asuquo Ekpenyong, another convener and Commissioner for Finance in Cross River, said the group believed in grassroots politics so it would support youths vying for positions at the grassroots.

Ekpenyong said that the group also believed in youths growing in politics, so the focus for now was not on the presidential race but the state Houses of Assembly and the National Assembly.

He said that way, youths would learn the tenets of running for elective offices up the ladder.
