I agree with this. Nigerians in general are very friendly. We do have a large number of knuckleheads but they are just a lousy minority.

I'm surprised Ghana is not high up there. Friendly people.
Re: Nigeria Ranks 7th Among World’s Friendliest Countries To Strangers [full List] by motymop:
it is because many Nigerians are docile

This friendliness is the reason why boko haram still exist

foreigners are in Nigeria taking jobs

The main reason they treat us badly in our country

whereas in their own country, they set rules for us and are very aggressive towards us

One thing I have come to notice over time is that the "most welcoming countries " are usually countries that people aren't interested in living in or visiting much hence the people there even prefer strangers over their own kind. Or countries mostly dependent on tourism.

The most selective :" wicked" "racist" " xenophobic " countries are usually the most sort after by visitors and migrants.

Even in dating .....the more beautiful and well-off a woman is ,the more she becomes selective; " wicked" " unpleasant " to the suitors coming her way in every breathing moment ( both nice and rude). The less attractive a woman is ,the more friendlier she is to the few males that give her some attention ( both nice and rude) grin.

Something to think about wink.

Nigerians love foreigners, but hate fellow country people from other tribes with passion.
Mostly Yoruba and Igbo. Not all Nigerians. Leave the rest of us out of your issues.

I said " wicked " " unpleasant " ....meaning people whom she rejects will paint her as such unlike the ugly-duckling whom they can say or do anything to ans she will still be friendly *

cheesy indeed I quite agree with the stats…..most foreigners that come into the country,come through Lagos and about 90% resident in Lagos and SW state, and people from this geographical location are widely known to be liberal and accommodative in nature grin that’s why the region still accounts for 21% of the total number of Nigerians and also foreigners smiley

Re: Nigeria Ranks 7th Among World’s Friendliest Countries To Strangers [full List] by qleap2all(m): 11:47am On Jun 23, 2025
That should be South West and probably North Central of Nigeria ,no other regions welcome strangers as the aforementioned!

That's true Nigerian love strangers and can render help to them no matter the situation
What choice do poor people who are deprived of the basic amenities and utilities of life as well as government services have? What option do we have than to be super friendly to strangers with money?

Shey most of this no be eye service so?

I want to believe that this so called hospitality is mostly eye service sha. Charity begins at home so why love strangers more than your own selves?
Re: Nigeria Ranks 7th Among World’s Friendliest Countries To Strangers [full List] by Jaga9ja: 12:19pm On Jun 23, 2025
No debating that...

We should even rank higher, cause Nigeria in some cases even value strangers than their family.
Re: Nigeria Ranks 7th Among World’s Friendliest Countries To Strangers [full List] by emapeteum(m): 12:21pm On Jun 23, 2025
What is common among the listed countries is that they are all third-world countries and would portray kindness to strangers, not necessarily to themselves.If we are friendly, Nigerians would not be killing Nigerians

Ukraine is a wonderful country, despite 3yrs of war with Russia;
They are still friendly,
They are still the breadbasket of Europe and a major exporter of grains,
They created the world's largest aircraft, the Antonov An-225 Mriya
They won 7 medals (2 gold) from 2024 Olympics
They took 3rd position in World games with 45 medals
They took 7 position in Paralympics with 82 medals

Nigeria has all the potentials to be greater than Ukraine if only we genuinely love one another and our country.

You are speaking from both sides of your mouth... people doing business in another region are now considered as "constituting nuisance"?
Thank God i didn't have to mention the region before you know, obviously you are guilty but still want to play funny.

Na only una dey other regions dey do business.

People from different part of the country are doing business peacefully in other regions aside certain people.
If you are not guilty, you wont be running here to throw defense
