Don't people get robbed in broad day light also in Lagos. Mob actions, reckless driving and a lot more .
Thats how a truck driver cleared a road with cars and people in front of us, came down and ran away, suggested we should go save at least one woman that was still fighting to survive but others in the bus shouted at the driver of our vehicle to zoom off, which he did and they cautioned me that they dont do such here, that who would explain to the police if she died in our hands, thats where I gave up on Lagos and its people, can't wait to finish my job here and go back to abuja, at least peace of mind sure pass that way.
Please don’t compare Lagos with Chicago in terms of dangerousness. These white men just sit down in the comfort of their room and dish out report about Africa and we just swallow their rubbish everytime.

Do you know in one of the reports I read about the dangerousness of cities, they said “ Due to the constant bombing of Lagos by the Boko Haram terrorists, Lagos is not safe, hence they categorize it as the world most unsafe cities”.

They are judging Lagos because they know Nigeria got Boko Haram but little did they know Boko haram is situated in the far away NE.

Go on google now and search for gun shooting statistics in Chicago and see how many people are being killed daily but they won’t use that as criteria to judge cities, they will just say anything to make Africa bad coz they know we are the only people that believe their lies.

Lmao, one stupid oyinbo will just sit down somewhere and compile rubbish and some dumb Nigerians will believe. So pretoria in South Africa where people get robbed in broad day light or soweto is safer than lagos? Why the obsession with Nigeria though? Always wanting to attach everything negative to Nigeria
Do you have data to disprove the report/survey? Or just being sentimental?

Very biased report. Even though lagos lacks the needed infrastructure to compete against other cities, cases of death is rarely recorded and the ones seen could be due to vehicle accident and other circumstances beyond control.

So New York, chicago, etc are the safest yet cases of manslaughter due to gun shots are seen? Local man is disgusted with western news.
As in. Violent crimes hardly occur in Lagos relative to some U.S cities even.

A jaundiced, bias and inaccurate report. Lagos is work in progress.
Work in progress for how many year. Lagos is already a failed project. Give abuja the number if years Lagos has and see wonders happen to it

. And they don't rub in day light in Lagos? Maybe you need to read the report again cuz security isn't the only reason

The joke is on you! Continue deceiving yourself while burying your head in sand when the whole world already knows that Lagos is the capital of all sh!tholes. FYI, they have yardsticks they used in coming up with the verdict. Lagos does not start at Banana Island and end at Victoria island. The whole stretch of the mainland is the worst catastrophe to befall man since the fall of Eden. I left Lagos myself when I looked at how miserable life is over there or am I oyibo too? Those that wake up at 4am and return home at 12 midnight are they oyibo?? Those that are kidnapped everyday in one chance are they oyibo? The woes are endless, leave Lagos as soon as you can if you want to enjoy your life!!

Imao, even the picture used lends credence to the report. Tell me which world class city that has such appalling scenery?

How would you keep records of what us never reported. You know how often people are killed on the road side in lagos or by mob action or accident .

They should continue with their stupid/beer parlour analysis.

If the report says Lagos is the roughest/most rugged city in the world, that I would agree not this witch hunt report. What about Arab cities where ISIS have destroyed. These wicked whites are in a bait to frustrate the image of this country. Though some stupid Nigerians in overseas involved in illegal activities caused it.

I’m based in USA (Atlanta to be precise). Yes, I’ve been to Chicago and I have friends I’m chicago.

That is a place where you will be scared to even abuse anyone on the road coz you might get shot. It’s hard to the extent that you can’t walk freely that much coz anyone can just shoot you for shooting sake.

There is a case of one Nigerian guy that just had issue like a road rage saga and the other guy followed him to his house to shoot him dead after alighting from his car.

Go on google now and search for statistics of gun crime in Chicago and come back here to tell us your funding.

Now is the time for Nigerians to always question theses guys report about us and try to carry out some findings from reputable sources. They can’t just keep dishing lies to us and we accept because they are white men. That’s insane!

Lagos is a nightmare

80% slum

Omo nile

In Lagos ..just make your money and leave the city

I dont take all this unverified report and projection seriously.

What about Pretoria or Jo'burg?

There are more killings and cases of missing persons in America more than in Nigeria.

Under Trump alone, the number of people affected by Gun violence is more than those killed by Boko Haram under Buhari


How many people died since 2015 as a result of Boko Haram? America has lost more citizens than Nigeria, but no one will publicize this as much as they would for African Countries
you cannot insult your home and expect outsiders to praise it . ... 80% of comment on nairaland label Africa as bad, so what do you expect ? Nigerians are good, am proud to be a Nigerian.
