The current ranking gives the topmost position to Japan, whose citizens can visit 190 countries around the world visa-free. The Singaporean and Korean passports share the second position as their citizens can visit 189 countries visa-free. Even a cursory observation would show that the ranking indicates the quality of the citizens of the respective countries without necessarily saying so. The easy accessibility of the Nigerian passport, sometimes to even foreigners as a travel document, must be part of the reasons for its low international esteem. Truth be told, it is not the value of the Nigerian passport that has depreciated; it is essentially the worth of being a Nigerian.
