USA Warns Its Citizens Not To Go To Warri, Akwa Ibom, Jos and Others (Page 8)

....,bt y iz abia state included?

Think of the impact this will have on the economy of Nigeria. Most of the nigeria-americans
living in the US are too scared to visit the home country because of Boko Haram, kidnappers
armed robbers or even family members.

O di egwu!! Ndi Igbo si na "asi nwata saa ahu, o'saba n'afo.  I am disappointed at the comments by many pals. Are we proud of the situation in Nigeria? Should we be proud that our name stinks in every sphere of the universe? I read about the Nigeria of 60s, 70s, and early 80s. When we fed neighboring  countries, when Koreans (nicknamed "kora people"), Chinese, Indians were mere petty traders in our streets and markets. Those countries have outsmarted the names we called them, and today respected by world powers.

The problem of Nigeria stems from ethnocentrisms: Housa man wants power because he wants to make sure Housa people have an edge over the national cake, likewise the Igboman and Yorubaman. Therefore people come to govt. office with main purpose of what they could get from the Country and not what they could give to the country.  Majority of these states listed as "No go areas" are states disenfranchised and disoreinted by economic sabotage by former leaders/govts - Quota system in employment, college admission, contract, appointment etc.

We cannot be proud of what our country has become; and most definitely, we should not blame other countries for trying to protect their citizens. We need them, stop fooling yourselves, go to office of statistics, find out the population of Nigerian-Americans, the amount they send home to Naija per year and other socio-economic benefits. Nigeria needs to create a healthy environment to be able to benefit from the here-to-stay global economy/community.

Thank God oooo.... Anambra state na better state be that but that our yeye Governor no dey try ooo 

This is not a tit-for-tat, my friend. There is widespread insecurity in Nigeria and the primary duty of any responsible government is the protection and safety of its citizens. If Nigeria cannot guarantee this for its citizens, how much less for foreigners? The best USA could do in the circumstances is updated information given to her citizens on the state of affairs in those parts of Nigeria. I wish your government could tackle these issues seriously.

Trully ignorance is a disease. Abia was mentioned because of Aba. Without the intervention of army, people would have ran away from abia/aba state.
Still it is not safe there with "Ngwa people" who eat human beings - LOL (this is just a joke for my best friend called Ezenwa/Bonny) , coupled with kidnapping.

so you never know that before now?
