Nigeria is an intriguing destination for some of the 23 million people in Mali, thanks to its vibrant culture and beautiful landscapes. However, it currently attracts a moderate number of tourists overall.
Nigeria presents a mixed safety profile for tourists coming from Mali. According to the Global Peace Index, Nigeria is ranked 144th out of 160 countries, which is better than Mali's ranking of 151st. The murder rate in Nigeria is 22.0 per 100,000 people, while data for Mali is not available. In terms of organized crime, Nigeria has a higher index for crime networks (9.0) compared to Mali (7.0) and also ranks worse in mafia groups (5.5 vs. 3.0) and state crime (7.5 vs. 8.5). However, both countries face significant challenges with human trafficking and smuggling, with Nigeria scoring slightly worse in these areas. Overall, while Nigeria may be relatively safer than Mali in some metrics, tourists should remain cautious and informed about the local security situation.
