According to a report on Theguardianmobile, Nigeria's failing security situation is causing a global sense of frustration and there is fear of possible isolation, judging from western nations’ responses to the increasing wave of terror attacks in the country.
Following significant negative media attention on an international scale, about 20 countries have advised their citizens to stay away from Nigeria, mostly due to last week’s terror attacks. And they include: the US, Canada, Australia, have already issued several warnings to its citizens about Nigeria, United Kingdom, several other western nations like France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden. Even at the United Nations, where Nigeria is currently holding the gavel as this month’s President of the Security Council, there is a sense of frustration, as four major official statements criticised the state of insecurity in Nigeria.
Specifically, the Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, has had to issue two statements of the four critical statements on the Nigeria terror attacks within three days. His first statement was on Monday the 14th after the Nyanya Bus station bombing, and then on Wednesday after the kidnapping of over 100 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State.
Then, from the Security Council, where Prof Joy Ogwu has been presiding as rotating president for April, came the third UN statement on the suspected Boko Haram attacks this week. UNICEF, again, issued a strongly worded statement after the abduction of the schoolgirls, making it the fourth UN statement condemning the situation in Nigeria. UN sources believe this is not a very good sign for the country’s image, considering its standing at the UN.
All the four UN statements showed a deep sense of international outrage but also of frustration at the seemingly helplessness of the Nigerian government to effectively control the situation.
including UK warns her citizen also,but dont they even realized that they are the mainly causes of Nigeria problem,this problem had been drawn right from the day of the amalgamations,bringing christian and muslem ,is like bringing cat and rat together in one cage,and these phyuking westerners are even happy when there is war or violence in africa so that weapons marketing ll be booming ,the UN ll not render helps to nigeria how the atrocities ll stop,no ..because there is nothing they re going to gain at this level,not until they re expecting to another level,by God grace that ll not happen.

That was a waste of time - we DO NOT have visitors commonly called TOURISTS visiting OUR shores anyway. Even Nigerians BORN AND BROUGHT UP in Nigeria but now living ABROAD DO NOT visit home.
Maybe Nigeria could LEARN to LOOK AFTER our OWN citizens by keeping tabs on DANGEROUS NATIONS and WARNING Nigerians to STSY CLEAR of such places.
My heart goes out to ALL those NIGERIANS presently studying and living in the UKRAINE. I wonder what ADVICE our Nigeria foriegn affairs officials have given them about keeping SAFE as the HOSTILITIES between UKRAINE and RUSSIA ESCALATE!!!!
