Firstly I want to point out here that a city, a state or a country being neat and clean is 80 percent behavioral traits of the residents and 20 percent governance.

AkwaCross people has the cleanest traits that's why their towns and cities are the neatest in Nigeria not because of Govt. or anything else, then followed by some parts of igboland. It's an open knowledge that during colonial times, the colonialists slept more with women from these places due to same reasons.

I have traveled up to 27 states in Nigeria, so I'm qualified to an extinct to talk on the cleanest places in Nigeria. Owerri clan in Imo state posses the cleanest traits in igboland.

Rwandan capital, Kigali is rated as the cleanest in Africa and among the cleanest in the world. You would think that this is as a result of governance. it's largly behavioral traits of the people. If you move Kigali residents to Lagos and Lagosians to Kigali. Lagos will become the cleanest in Africa in less than 10yrs while Kigali will become the new Lagos.

Here are the true 9 cleanest cities in Nigeria:

1. Uyo
2. Calabar
3. Enugu
4. Abuja (not Fct)
5. Jos
6. Owerri
7. Bauchi
8. Gombe
9. Lagos

Other worthy mention: Kaduna,Aba, Ikot-Ekpene and IIesa

This current super eagle team can easily reach the world cup semi finals if we made it to the world cup.

This team is hot... many thanks to the coach for a job well done.

This Nigerian team has the most formidable striking force currently in Africa and probably among top 10 in the world.

I have been playing Nigeria Ov1.5 since their second group stage game and the delivered despite the tournament being lesser scoring one

It will be a great deservice to Africa if this team didn't represent the continent at the world cup.

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

Kidnappings in Nigeria happens 90 percent on highways and rural areas. The number of Nigerians who travel often on highways are lesser than the majority who don't travel. Most Nigerians dwell on city areas, year in year out without getting to experience kidnapping they only hear about it on the news. All Nigerian city areas are safer than most countries including Northern Nigeria cities. All those northern states with bandits activities Zamfara, Kastina, Kaduna, Niger,Adamawa etc their city areas and state capitals are largly safe. I recently returned from Kastina city, the state capital. Despite bandits activities in rural parts of the state. You can live in Kastina city for years without getting to experience bandits attack. The American rapper that recently said that Nigeria is safer than US is hundred percent right.

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

If you want to confirm what I stated about Nigerians being 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.

I have seen and read about Igbos banishing and ostracising people that committed atrocities & sacrilege and have seen Igbos burn houses belongings to ritualists and kidnapers here on nairaland

I don't know why other tribes can't copy this.

Before the Whiteman brought Police force and the Court system the Igbo culture already have democractic system, Right of speech and judicial systems

Osihmen is another Burna Boy in Nigerian football.

E go use in hand end his career if e no control his anger issues.

Clubs and coaches go soon begin the avoid Osihmen

If Osihmen is not careful with his anger issues his footballing career with be cut short.

Reference:
They can beat Algeria and that should make every Nigerian worried. Probably the best team I have seen so far.

Una dey underate Senegal Sha.
My top 3 favorite to carry the cup na Senegal, Nigeria and Morocco.

Jakumo:
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.

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 who was assassinated fews months back killed in a ghetto?

Was the 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.

The disgraced country is fantastically corrupt.

Imagine "Re-looting" Abacha's loot.

Kballer:
Funny how you think relocating abroad is all about making money

99 percent of Nigerians overseas are economic immigrants. They left mainly because of economic reasons not insecurity. I have argued this in the past before.

If Nigerians are leaving largly because of insecurity than why are they not moving to safer African countries or safer Asian countries enmass?

There are security of lives and property in Namibia, Botswana, Senegal, Tunisia, Gambia, Philippines, Thailand, Chile, Uruguay etc yet Nigerians are largly trooping to Western countries for money?

Try get sense.

Far right parties and movements are growing in all of Europe. Europeans are tired and angry about mass immigration to their countries. They are blaming their govt for open border and it's even worse in the UK.

If care is not taken, there may be an out break of civil war in the UK in less than 5yrs from now. The locals are mad about the influx of Pakistanis, Indians, Arabs and Africans destroying their cities, culture and heritage.

I pity Africans left in that UK, when the evitable crisis will break out.

Did you ever heard of Bandits or Unknown Gunmen Pre-2015? Or did you frequently heard about Fulani herdsman attacks in the news before Apc emergence in 2015?. Boko Haram was only restricted to 3 states in Northeast with occasional attack in Fct then.


How it began:

After the fall of Gaddafi in 2011 proliferation of arms from the fallout were all over West Africa especially in the Sahel countries. Militants from Chad, Mali and Niger with illicit arms were brought in by some Northern Apc elements in their desperation to topple Jonathan during the election in 2015. Ahmed Datti, Abubakar Kawu Baraje and some Northern leaders has admitted to this, it's on tape. Those janja.weeds brought in from Chad, Mall and Niger by Apc to join their Nigerian Fulani counterpart in 2015 was what gave birth to Bandit terrorists today in Nigeria because they never went back after the election and Jonathan didn't agreed to a fight, he stepped aside.

On Herdsmen; Buhari's Apc govt emboldened Herdsman rampage across the country to an unprecedented level which we haven't seen before. Once peaceful herdsmen were encouraged and pampered by the Buhari's govt, while overrunning towns and villages killing and pillaging.

On UGM; Buhari's Apc govt mishandling of Ipob agitation by killing peaceful biafran demonstrators gave birth to Unknown gunmen in the East today.

On Kidnappings; The spate of kidnappings across the country today has traces of economic impoverishment and hunger caused by Apc in the last 10 years written all over it.

Apc has proven to be a curse to Nigeria!

Adventure is not in the DNA of a black man... only few black people has it like Op.. kudos to him. Real adventure belongs to the Caucasian race.

Have been to almost all states in Nigeria despite insecurity just for the thrill.

aariwa:
That’s long story, just clone the phones of all the military and paramilitary personnel working on highways in Nigeria to intercept their calls and end it by 90% . There is no way you can kidnap successfully in Nigeria with confidence without police or army backing . Go to Abuja today , the most expensive houses worth billions of naira are being bought by military guys whose salary are less than 500k . Where do you think they getting the money from?

It's almost impossible to clone tens of thousands of phones belonging to all the security agents in the country.

Do you know that satellite phones are also used by kidnappers and other criminal elements in Nigeria ?

Another idea I forget to add is:

If a kidnap was successfully carried out and the kidnap victim was held in a particular LGA during the ransom negotiation. All the paramilitary personnels stationed in that particular LGA will have to reimburse the victim's family from the their salary for a month or months depending on the ransom amount they family paid. This is to ensure optimum performance and to prevent personnels from directly or indirectly engaging in kidnappings themselves.

One of the major problems of Nigeria is that those elected to lead us over the years are not great problem solvers or that leaders are not genuinely concerned about the numerous problems facing the nation. Even as a private citizen, ever since a close relative was abducted in 2020 and released after ransom, I have been thinking about how this menace can be brought to an end in the country. I recently tweeted the following about the spate of kidnappings in Nigeria. 👇 The Tweet:

"90% of kidnappings in Nigeria occur in bushes on the expressways and city outskirts. Setup "Forest Guard" a paramilitary Organization across the country made of only indigenous youths in 774 LGA to comb our forest areas daily. Scrap NYSC & fund the Organization with the defunct NYSC money. Problem solved!" ... and the tweet quickly got traction.

Here are details of how this idea can be implemented perfectly with no additional load to the country's annual budget:

1.) Recruitment in each LGA must only be from indigenous youths whom having been living in the community in the last 10 years. This is to ensure that all personnels are knowledgeable of the terrain of the community. Not what they do in NPF where someone will be brought in from Sokoto to police a village in Rivers State.

2.) The geographical size of a each LGA will determine the number of personnels recruited. The bigger the size of LGA the higher the number of personnel stationed on it.

3.) Few troubled LGAs where there is ongoing fighting with Boko Haram, Bandits, UGM etc will be exempted. Only the military will be assigned to handle those LGAs.

4.) The Paramilitary group will be armed and equipped with communication gadgets and surveillance drones especially in LGAs with difficult terrains.

5.) The Paramilitary group will have national head in Abuja and state controller generals in each state.

6.) NYSC will have to be scrapped and it's annual budget reallocated to this new organization to prevent additional load on the country's yearly budget.

7.) If a kidnap was successfully carried out and the kidnap victim was held in a particular LGA during the ransom negotiation. All the paramilitary personnels stationed in that particular LGA will have to reimburse the victim's family from the their salary for a month or months depending on the ransom amount they family paid. This is to ensure optimum performance and to prevent personnels from directly or indirectly engaging in kidnappings themselves.


8.) This paramilitary group maybe be named Nigerian Forest Guard or something else. It's mandate will be to patrol, comb and safeguard our forest areas nationwide.

Because No forest hideout, No Kidnapping in Nigeria. If you are close to anyone in govt, show him this post.

princeade86:
believe the story. So someone came to borrow his car, and the person no get contacts or guarantor. She just approached him and use her celebrity name to collect hire purchased. You even arrested her friend, and she escaped from police. K leg news.

There is nothing that the man said that is unusual. All over the world, celebrities uses their status to gain advantage over people. Musical artist Sean Kingston used his celeb status to scam Americans and American businesses. He is serving jail term today.

And secondly, in Nigeria people have been excaping from police stations thru police compromise. The thing no start today unless they born you yesterday. So all the man said is highly plausible.

Crypto is a scam

All businesses in it all you do is to speculate are the same. Examples: stock trading, sports betting, Forex trading, binary options, crypto currencies. They are all the same, nothing different, just a change of name.

Speculation is simply prediction.

It's stupidity to call sports betting gambling and crypto an investment.

Gambling means 'risking money to make more money.' Same 'risking money' that people do when trading crypto.

Crypto is bet9ja in disguise, argue with your phone.

Obapluto:
who be this na.. bruh I fit pay to get u arrested.

What is apc doing in your comment

Keep your mouth shut. Imagine this one threatening a stranger with an arrest for stating the obvious fact. Infact add me your in so-called useless arrest if you can.

Who doesn't know that insecurity in Nigeria today increased astronomically under Apc?. Are you living under a rock?. Did you ever heard of Bandits or UGM Pre-2015? or even heard about herdsman attacks regularly in the news before Apc emergance in 2015?.

After the fall of Gaddafi, proliferation of arms from the fallout was all over West Africa especially in the Sahel countries. Militants from Chad and Niger with illicit arms was brought in by some Northern Apc elements in
their desperation to topple Jonathan during the election in 2015. Ahmed Datti and some Northern leaders has admitted to this, it's on tape and even on YouTube. Those janjan.weeds brought in from Chad and Niger by Apc to join their Nigerian Fulani counterpart in 2015 was what gave birth to Bandits today in Nigeria because they never went back. The criminals that killed this young lady can be traced to the banditry going on in Niger state and rural communities in the FCT.

Buhari's Apc govt emboldened Herdsman onslaught across the country to an unprecedented level which we haven't seen before. This is public knowledge.

Buhari's Apc govt mishandling of Ipob agitation gave birth to Unknown gunmen in the East today.

The spate of kidnappings across the country today has traces of economic impoverishment and hunger caused by Apc in the last 10 years written all over it.

Infact don't let me caus.e you for attempting to exonerate Apc from the insecurity we are facing today in the country.

Esthered:
It's a high risk high reward basis.
The risk of default is very high as there's no collateral backing the loan hence the high interest rate.
I agree it's outrageous but how can the company hedge the risk of default for a loan that has no collateral which give s them comfort.

Let them lend only to people with verifiable employment.

Thier jobs will act as collateral though customers will be less but It will ensure that the money lent will be recovered instead of them running a corporate business like motor park touts.

Blood Moon weh I saw yesterday Sept 6..in Aba at around 5pm during Nigeria vs Rwanda match.

The information here about Nigeria own is misleading.

SUPERPACK:
Since naira is not a stable currency we have do the calculation with the value of a stable currency against the naira which is dollar.

In 2008 the average naira to dollar exchange rate was #117 per dollar. #50000 divided by #117 per dollar = $427.

To get the new value we multiply $427 by the current dollar to naira rate of #1560 per dollar = #666,120.

So that #50,000 is worth about #666,000 in our today's economy.

Mynd44.

Additionally, US dollar hasn't been stable since 2008. Inflation have also occurred on the US dollar.

50k in 2008 is actually #1,001,520 not #666,120

Because the $427 in 2008 is now $642 in today's money when adjusted for inflation.

Every one is now shouting that they will stay back because real information about abroad has now spread across. I remember 3 to 4 yrs ago at the height of the japa madness in Nigeria when I and some other people here were dropping anti japa thread here back to back informing our people about actual realities of the Western world.

We were called names and were attacked by uninformed Nigerians. Today information done spread, their eyes done open.

GeneralOuki:
Bangladesh. That country is s certified shít hole! As in .... It is so backward they might as well be living in 1700s. You need to see the way drivers behave in traffic, it is total hell! A literal bumper to bumper, in fact you can off your engine, put your gear on neutral and you will still get to where you're going because other cars behind and beside you will push your car forward. There is no public bus in this country that is as wrecked as the buses in Bangladesh, NONE.
IT is a Muslim country, and I happened to be there during their Salah and Jizọs!! They were slaughtering the animals on the streets which were flooded because it rained the previous night, and the whole place was filled with blood stained flood water! As in you look out from the window onto the street and all you will see is river of blood everywhere!! Me I didn't go out oo! I no wan collect disease wey I no know.

Avoid Indian sub-continent: India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Forget their different country's names, they're all Indian by race. They're known for being extremely dirty.

Can't South West Governor's declare shoot at sight on all ritualists there. Or is it a cultural thing there?

Do you see these two people Daddy Freeze and Seun Kuti

They portray and appears progressive in the public but behind the back, they're the biggest agbado charlatans deceiving the gullible.

Very cunny idio-ts.

I think Custard
