The Nigerian passport has been listed as one of the least powerful in the world by a GOOD infographic.
The
Nigerian travel document falls short due to the fact that it only gives
access to 47 countries while that of the United States gives its
citizens free access to 172 other countries.
A United Kingdom passport is also powerful as it guarantees the bearer access to 173 other countries.
Other
passports which provide restricted access include that of Afghanistan
which allows entry into 28 countries, Iraq, 31, Lebanon 38, Sri Lanka,
38, Sudan 38, Nepal, 37, Eritrea, 36, Palestinian territories, 36,
Pakistan, 32 and Somalia, 32.
In the infographic map created by Ricky Lynn of GOOD, countries are color-coded based on the "power" of their passports.
The
darker in color, the more freedom that country's residents have to
travel. Lighter orange colors mean residents can visit fewer countries
with their passports.
