No Nigerian City Among the 20 Most Violent Cities in the World
Lagos city is Africa's largest mega city and the commercial capital of Nigeria.
No Nigerian City Among the 20 Most Violent Cities in the World
In spite of the widespread poverty and unemployment and the dreadful Boko Haram terrorists on rampage in the northern states in Nigeria, no Nigerian city is listed among the 20 most violent cities in the world and Cape Town is the only city in Africa on the list according the report by Statista.
Out of the world's 50 most violent cities, 41 are in Latin America including 21 in Brazil. The Mexico Citizens Council for Public Security releases its findings on the homicide rate in cities with populations over 300,000 every year. This infographic shows the world's top 20 cities, with Caracas, Venezuela, in first place with 119.87 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2015.
San Pedro Sula, Honduras (111.03 homicides per 100,000) came second with San Salvador, El Salvador (108.54 homicides per 100,000) rounding off the top three. The majority of the violence in Latin America can be attributed to drug trafficking, gang warfare and political instability.

Igbo Obioma Itinerant Street Tailors in Lagos Are Disappearing Every Day
Igbo Obioma itinerant street tailors in Lagos are disappearing and many
Hausas from northern Nigeria are now seen with the traditional Singer
99K sewing machines carried on their shoulders on the streets of Lagos.
During the recce for my "Sights and Sounds of Lagos" tourist documentary series, I met one of the remaining Igbo Obioma tailors in Lagos on December 29, 2015 who said Hausas are taking over their traditional Obioma street tailoring business, because many of them have outgrown the business and the younger generation of Igbos don't find it attractive and lucrative in the fast developing world of the 21st century. But he said the few of them still in the street tailoring business are making more money than the monthly salaries of many graduates with diplomas and degrees. He said a hard working Obioma can make as much as N2, 000 daily from about 30 customers, because there are many poor people with torn clothes to stitch and it is the safest affordable trade that does not require power supply or fuel and they are not harassed by street touts or law enforcement agents who extort money from other self employed professionals like transporters, street traders and others.
The Obioma itinerant street tailors became very popular after the Nigerian civil war in 1970 and "Obioma" which is the Igbo word for kindness or kind heart became a household name especially in Lagos where many of the returnees from the eastern states of the former Republic of Biafra flocked to in search of means of survival. They moved from place to place with the popular Singer 99K sewing machines often used by housewives to stitch torn clothes. Almost everyone living in the lower class and lower middle class homes patronized the Obioma.
