seunmsg:Having spent enough years residing in America and in Nigeria, I disagree 100% with the opinion expressed by this rapper who claims that the USA is more dangerous than Nigeria. If the rapper had claimed that GHETTOES in America are more dangerous than Nigeria, his statement would be factual due to the prevalence of "Saturday Night Special" cheap and disposable $50 handguns in most American ghettoes, where the gang and drug culture has decimated generations of semi-educated black Americans. From coast to coast USA, the odds of falling victim to gang violence drop off steeply as soon as one leaves the inner-city ghetto, and moves into any middle class suburb, even if that safe haven is just a few blocks from the ghetto's boundary lines. In Nigeria, however, there is NO "safe neighborhood" because kidnappers and armed robbers can strike anywhere and any time, against any and all Nigerian citizens who cannot afford to have armed police guards. When driving along any highway in Nigeria, the risk of getting ambushed and kidnapped that is prevalent all over Nigeria, simply does NOT exist in ANY American city or rural area. Unless one is wealthy and connected enough to charter helicopters for routine inter-city travel in Nigeria, literally ANY road trip could wind up becoming a one-way trip into hell. The absence of any such ambush danger along ALL highways in the USA , taken as a single factor of consideration, makes Nigeria orders of magnitude more dangerous than any part of America, including the Deep South. More than likely, the American rapper visiting Nigeria spent his entire holiday in an up-scale area like Lekki or Victoria Island in Lagos, and on noting that there was no gunplay as is a normal occurrence in American ghetto night clubs, concluded WRONGLY that the entire nation of Nigeria must be safer than his ghetto "hood" stateside. |

Jakumo:What an exaggerated nonsense. Tens of millions live in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan, Enugu and several other towns and cities in Nigeria and carry on their daily business and activities. How many of them are actual victims of violent crime on a daily basis. Outside of the terrorist activities in the northern part of the country, crime is not a daily experience of the overwhelming majority of Nigerians. You are safer in many parts of Lagos or Abuja than you would be in many parts of London. Lagos is outrightly safer than Detroit, Memphis, St Louis, Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland, and many parts of Chicago and Philladephia. That is not to say everything is honky dory here, but there is some definite truths in what the American rapper said. |

DeLaRue:My experience in Nigeria has been DRAMATICALLY different from yours, sir, and I will leave it at that. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by DeLaRue: 1:18pm On Jan 02 |
Jakumo:Fair enough. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by SmartPolician: 1:37pm On Jan 02 |
Then, tell the foolish rapper to relocate to Maiduguri, Kwara or Zamfara since Nigeria is safer than the US |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Babatunjo: 1:38pm On Jan 02 |
True. I always tell my friends: your quality of life is not location-dependent. There are many people in the US, UK, and elsewhere living worse lives than a lot of people here in Nigeria. Same thing the other way around. We don’t hear of school shootings or gun violence in Nigeria like in America. But in terms of economic power and opportunity, USA na baba. |

Go say that in the north or you drive from the south west through yagba in kogi and hit kaduna road ,alone in the night |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Rootprof(m): 1:39pm On Jan 02 |
Let him stop using security guards on Nigeria soil... Enter street with this your wristwatch and ring, you will know what's up. Definitely some areas are safe in Nigeria but the insecurity increase is alarming. Now traveling during day time is with prayers not to talk of traveling at night. |

SmartPolician:$ He dare not try that, he will be gone once step out of his neighborhood without security around him. $ |

Let him come to Borno or Sokoto or Zamfara or Kwara or Benue in Nigeria and stay in one of the attack-prone villages or travel on one of the bandit-infected roads. |

Jakumo:Many things that happen in normal daily life (like neighbors fighting or police encounters or bumping into someone on the street) which country do you think will lead to shooting? Aidoko2:He's a rapper. I googled life expectancy of a rapper in USA. See the answer below. Compare to life expectancy in Chibok

Some people will still pull up to insult him... Because it's not the narrative they want to hear! |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Mrexcell(m): 1:45pm On Jan 02 |
Okay we don hear let him just permanently go live in borno or kwara he is using a relatively peaceful area in small lagos to jump into conclusions. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Aidoko2: 1:47pm On Jan 02 |
Tell me any local government where I should go and leave in USA that is Dangerous than Chibok in Borneo state. This guy is an APChit rapper |

SmartPolician:in this your reply it means just few areas are affected in Nigeria n not the whole Nigeria Hope u know u can get killed anytime anywhere in d USA once a psycho decides to end u? Many of u don't know anything |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Tflex01: 1:47pm On Jan 02 |
All the people insulting him on twitter because of this comment are obidient. Lol I wonder how they all turned to America lovers and defenders so fast. |

seunmsg:I think DDG is right. For example the neighborhood of the late rappers such as King Von, Lil JoJo and FBG Duck in Chicago na war zone for trigger happy hit men/women that are drill rappers. ISWAP and Boko haram go dey fear to operate in such neighbourhood. |

Jakumo:Pure trash. I bet you have never lived in the US or lived in the US long enough to understand why he's coming from. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by FarahAideed: 1:47pm On Jan 02 |
Based all his experience around Ikoyi and Victoria island 😄😄😄....such a 🤡 |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by mascot87(m): 1:47pm On Jan 02 |
If you have a problem with this information, please you can relocate to Somalian. Them no tie your placenta to Nigeria. Next |

SmartPolician:Did you read everything... I mean, read to understand. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by FreeIgboho: 1:48pm On Jan 02 |
Mrexcell:He's a rapper. He is comparing a rapper's life expectancy in Nigeria vs USA |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by PigTormentor: 1:48pm On Jan 02 |
FarahAideed:I don't stay in ikoyi or VI when in Nigeria and I always feel safer and at peace whenever I'm in Nigeria. In fact, I'm heading back to Nigeria today. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Babatunjo: 1:49pm On Jan 02 |
Jakumo:Sounds like a smart response. But there are many people living in Nigeria who are better off than some people in the US, UK, or Canada. There are people living well in Nigeria... and living well elsewhere too. Once you rise to a certain level in life, your quality of life becomes largely location-independent, wherever you go. |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by Mrchippychappy(m): 1:49pm On Jan 02 |
No need to argue, make him buy flight ticket, come Nigeria, pay 1 month rent for Benue, Plateau or Southern Kaduna, Kogi, kwara or ondo state. No need for too much talk |
| Re: Nigeria Safer Than US – American Rapper, DDG by bunmioguns(m): 1:50pm On Jan 02 |
We know the format. He probably has a song with Burna Boy or Wizkid coming out soon and needs the streaming numbers. Tell him to stop the 'I love Nigeria' wash. Once his data finish or he experiences one week of 'Hold Up' and NEPA taking light, he will fly back to LA and start calling us a 'Third World Jungle.' Typical clout chaser. |
