You should trust Naijauto.com to always bring you this type of undiscovered or undisclosed information. By the time you see all the countries on the list below, you will be amazed.
We would like to first mention and emphasize that we did not make up the list you are about to see below, it is completely based on the popularly recognized Henley Passport Index and rankings. And they have explained their rankings to be done based on the total number of accessible destinations available to the passport holders without a preceding visa. Also, the rankings are based on exclusive data from IATA (International Air Transport Association) – they maintain the most accurate and largest travel information database in the world.
Nigerian passports ranks the 91st worldwide
Just before the list, we would like to express that it was kind of a bit disappointing after we gathered all the below information only to realize that our dear Nation Nigeria is currently ranked very low and happens to be among these weakest passport countries.
Nigerian passport currently stands as the 91st most powerful passport in the world and 42nd in Africa as a whole as it actually allows visa-free access to a total of 47 destinations Lol. That’s what the record says, don’t ask us why. Although, its nothing compared to Somalia’s Passport which is the least powerful in Africa 😊.
Below is our discovered list of the top 9 less powerful African Countries’ Passports:
