Nigeria
has been ranked third of the 162 countries of the world that have been worst
hit by terrorist attacks, according to the 2015 Global Terrorism Index.
The
country, Africa’s largest oil producer, was ranked fourth in 2014.
Going
by the latest ranking, Nigeria is only better than two Middle Eastern countries
– Iraq and Afghanistan – who were ranked first and second respectively.
Another
two Middle East countries, Pakistan and Syria are ranked fourth and fifth
respectively, after Nigeria.
The
only African countries closer in ranking to Nigeria are Somalia and Libya which
are in the eighth and ninth positions respectively.
France,
which recently experienced deadly terrorist attacks that killed about 160
people in Paris, is ranked 36th, same as the United States of America.
“Terrorist
attacks are much more lethal in Nigeria than any other country,” the GTI report
said.
The
report, released on November 16, 2015 by the Institute for Economics and Peace,
said the Islamist terror group in Nigeria, Boko Haram, overtook ISIL in 2014 to
become the most deadly terrorist group in the world.
That is what the west always wanted,but they will fail in Jesus name.
