Risk management firm and insurance broker Aon has just released its Terrorism And Political Violence risk map for 2013.

The news is that apparently, the U.S. is in no danger of the latter kind of disturbance.

Instead, the only risk to America is terrorism.

Meanwhile in Europe, the overall risk levels in France and Spain are actually equivalent to China and Russia, presumably on the basis of the former countries' recent, heated demonstrations protesting austerity.

And the sleepiest countries in the world? Denmark, Finland, Japan, Australia, Iceland, Uruguay and Botswana — the risk of anything happening there is negligible.

Check it out:

...and they are still coming in there thousands to invest in Nigeria.
They should tell it to the wind

but come to think of it, is Nigeria really a safe place to be? this Boko guys are making foreigners scared of this country

..

@Post

I believe the boko haram issue along with kidnapping is what is making them list Nigeria as one of the riskiest places to be. Then again, USA should be labelled risky too. If some lunatic is not gunning down innocent 6 year old kids in a primary school in Connecticut, another lunatic is gunning down movie goers or worshipers in a Sikh temple in Colorado or a tornado might just rip through your neighborhood if you live in the Midwest and destroy your home or take your life. You might get washed away by a hurricane - Hurricane Sandy or Katrina anyone? - or get gunned down by a stray bullet should two rival gangs begin fighting. As a black person, you could get target by racist whites or racist white cops and the list is endless. My point is, nowhere in this world is safe at the moment hence we should remain prayerful.

It is a safe place if you 're a Nigerian and have lived your whole life as a Nigerian in the country.

Freiburger: It is a safe place if you 're a Nigerian and have lived your whole life as a Nigerian in the country.

So maybe the "Risky-place-to-be" stuff is actually directed to foreigners wishing to visit Nigeria.. Hmmm, you have a point

I quite agree with you given ur analysis that USA should probably be listed as one of the riskiest places to live. If you noticed, Sub-Saharan Africa is almost exclusively shown to be "Hell-on-Earth".
