Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Nigeria as a destination for visitors from Iraq?
Nigeria is a vibrant and diverse nation with a rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes. However, it currently attracts a moderate number of tourists. It may appeal to a segment of Iraq's population of 44 million, but overall interest may vary.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Nigeria for tourists coming from Iraq?
Nigeria's safety for tourists, including those from Iraq, is a concern. The Global Peace Index ranks Nigeria 144th out of 160 countries, while Iraq is ranked 148th, indicating similar safety levels. The murder rate in Nigeria is significantly higher at 22.0 per 100,000 people compared to Iraq's 10.1. In terms of organized crime, Nigeria has a slightly better score for mafia groups (5.5 vs. Iraq's 6.5), but it fares worse in crime networks (9.0 vs. Iraq's 7.5) and other categories such as state crime and human trafficking. Overall, while both countries face challenges, Nigeria exhibits higher crime rates and risks for tourists. Caution is advised for those considering travel to Nigeria.
