Nigeria ranks Third on Global Terrorism Index
Nigeria has been ranked as the third most terrorized country in the world according to a 2020 report by the Global Terrorism Index (GTI).
The report which was released on Wednesday, ranked Nigeria third following Afghanistan and Iraq.
According to the GTI report, Nigeria witnessed an increase in Boko Haram attacks in the period under review, witnessing her worst terrorist attack in 2019 in northeastern Borno State, where at least 70 people were killed and 10 others wounded when insurgents attacked at a funeral.
“Over the past year, Boko Haram increased attacks on military targets, with deaths rising from 26 in 2018 to 148 in 2019,” the report said.
However, the report recognized that terror-related incidents in the country fell by 27% in the same period due to a significant reduction in violence attributed to killer herdsmen.
“This reduction occurred despite a small increase in deaths attributed to Boko Haram, which has been the most active terrorist group in the country over the past decade. Deaths from terrorism in Nigeria are now 83 percent lower than at
their peak in 2014, the report added
They rate of crime in this country is beyond explanation, and government do not value the life of her citizens because if they do, they will secure us.
Am not surprise,with the level of insecurity and bad people everywhere
We always lead in bad things, Nigeria government should do the needful on how to curb the menace of insecurities here and there.
The incessant kidnapping in this country is unbearable while also bokoharam. The recent attacked on Nigeria citizens is beyond control and security chiefs don’t do anything about it.
This time around, Nigeria is not save for living. Even if you are traveling, you will just be pray for safe trip. May God help us. Instead to change the security chiefs that have run out of ideas but president buhari just kept them there.
May God save us from insecurities in this country…
May God save us from this terrorism in the country and kidnapping.
Am not surprised because Nigeria do take better position in this kind of thing, they even tried to take third position because I was expecting them to take First position.
Just like that, my dear country has gradually graduated to what I do not know…anarchy

So we have gotten to this place. Buhari why?
We Always Lead In Bad Things, Nigeria Government Should Do The Needful On How To Curb The Menace Of Insecurities Here And There.
