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.

SmartPolician:
Then, tell the foolish rapper to relocate to Maiduguri, Kwara or Zamfara since Nigeria is safer than the US

Who is talking about campus here?
All this shifting of goal posts won't work.
Nigeria generally is safer ...I don't know of sad east

Princewill1:
Absolute Rubbish!
The rapper is talking about cities in Nigeria, while you're mentioning high way. Millions of Nigerians stay all year round in city areas without having to travel on highway. Nigerians that travel often are lesser than those who don't travel.

Do school mass shootings in American schools happens in ghetto?

Do shopping mall shootings in America occur in ghetto?

Was Charlie Kirk a prominent American politician assassinated fews months back in a ghetto?

Was attempted assassination on Trump leaving him with gun injury happened in a ghetto?

Stop talking non-sense online. Everybody knows that gun violence is a big issue in America. Even high profile individuals in America are not immune from it.


Apart from some troubled LGAs in the North, Nigeria at large is more secured than US. Kidnappings and Arm robbery in Nigeria is being blown out of proportion. Percentage of such crimes is proportional to our population nothing alarming about it when you compared our crime figures with other countries per capita.

The truth is, Nigerians are one of the loudest in the world if not the loudest. When crime occurs in Nigeria people blows it out of proportion especially on social media due to content creation money. South Africa has highest the rate of Car Hijacking, Arm Robbery, Murder and Rape in the world not just in Africa, but check South Africa social media space you rarely see them reporting such crime on online. You hardly hear a South African saying online that he is going to japa due to insecurity in South Africa.

If you want to confirm if Nigerians are loud mouthed check how new Nigerian immigrants in UK and Canada use their loud mouths online to force those countries to implement new visa policy. Also check how our noisy yahoo boys made the whole world to believe that Nigeria is the scam capital of the world where as in the actual statistics Nigeria is even among top 5.

plan to cry more cos u n your agulu fraud will still.lose election again in 2027.

Election loss dey pain true true

Babatunjo:
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.

Mrchippychappy:
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

What part of nigeria are you living in? Are you living in a slum or Is it Ajegule? Even Ajegunle you dont get reported gun violence every weekend like it happens in south side chicago where atleast one person is killed every weekend on average from gun violence. Many parts of south west and south south Nigeria are very safe. Believe it or not even safer than many big cities in America and even joburg SA. Last year alone close to 40k people were shot from gun violence in the US in 2025 alone.

Purpleroyalty20:
America is much safer than Nigeria. The crime you hear about in the USA is in the inner cities. Most black Americans DO NOT live in the ghetto. Black Americans are educated and doing very well.

horlando30:
I dont care about your anecdotes. Come with data and facts to counter the above numbers not some make believe. When 40k people get shot in one year in Nigeria then i will agree that America is safer than Nigeria or any place on earth for that matter.

Purpleroyalty20:
In fact Nigeria ‘s murder rate per capita is much higher than the United States! I dont care about your anecdotes either… the facts don’t support your lies!

Purpleroyalty20:
Somebody doesn’t know math! United States is twice a big as Nigeria. There are other crimes besides shooting. When savages start raiding entire American cities and kidnapping women and girls like they do in Nigeria come talk to me!

horlando30:
You must have dropped out of school or just have a warped analysis skill. Even from your own screen shot display you were against your self. Showing murder rate per capital for the US for 2023 but display crime rate for Nigeria for 2025. What dont you understand the difference between murder rate and crime rate?
