Nigeria is a large country with 36 states. To many outside of its

borders, Nigeria is largely portrayed as an unsafe country. This is

because of news of terrorism such as with Boko Haram attacks on

residents and citizens of the country. There is also the case of

occasional kidnapping and armed attacks. However, these are largely

restricted to certain parts of the country. For example, kidnapping is

largely associated with the Niger-Delta region while bombing and

terrorist challenges largely refer only to the North East of Nigeria.

Nigeria has many other safe parts that are completely peaceful and

suitable for residency and visitation. This article covers the top 10

most peaceful states in Nigeria.
