Oslo is one of the world's most dangerous cities, according to the Zimbabwe Times, it is the third most dangerous city in the world after Stockholm and Mogadishu, the two largest cities in Somalia. I was riding the metro and accidentally exited at the wrong stop and ended up in a neighborhood called Stovner. It looked exactly like a Brazillian favela, with slums stacked on top of eachother, this area was more dangerous than Sao Paolo or Caracas, those places were paradise compared to Oslo. Anyways I got off the station and a Swedish man named Ahmad Farshid Bin Tlariq al Muqtadeen din Rashidi approached me as well as a Pakistani man named Salman Falmanrashidiqqi Siddiqui. They told me to convert to Islam. I was scared so I tried to cooperate, I asked them how, they told me it costs 5 million krone for infidels to visit the local mosque. After that I realize it was a scam. As I left the mosque, an SAS plane crashed into me and it made me fly all the way to Paris? And guess who else was in Paris?

Anyways in conclusion, Oslo is a very deadly city, if you care about your personal safety DO NOT VISIT!!!!!

Exploring melanin sub-regions and their distinction in leading the world for criminal homicide (and their most homicidal countries):

#1 Central Africa (#1 Central African Republic; #2 Democratic Republic of the Congo; #3 Chad)

#2 West Africa (#1 Mali; #2 Burkina Faso; #3 Nigeria)

#3 Melanesia (#1 Papua New Guinea; #2 Solomon Islands; #3 Fiji)

#5 Southern Africa (#1 South Africa; #2 Lesotho; #3 Eswatini/Swaziland)

#6 East Africa (#1 Somalia; #2 South Sudan; #3 Burundi)

#8 Caribbean (#1 Haiti; #2 Jamaica; #3 Trinidad & Tobago)

Regions like East Africa and the Caribbean include lots of places with big populations that reduce the overall score to a lower one than you might expect. OTOH, 90% of the populations of Melanesia and Southern Africa are comprised of Papua New Guinea and South Africa respectively (the Southern Africa here excludes Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Malawi etc). Homicides in the Caribbean are hugely concentrated in Haiti alone.

The top 3 and 6 of the top 8 are melanin regions. Why is this so? This is NOT a politicized post it's meant to be a serious question.

White, British bloke, spent a month in Lagos, keep your wits about you and you'll enjoy your stay, do not go around looking well off, do not go out alone after 9pm, be polite, found locals to be Intelligent, friendly and hard working, use your common sense and smile slot.
