This happened in class yesterday. A new person had joined, and he was introducing himself. He was from Nigeria. When he said that, one lady popped up this question: “So, tell me one good thing about Nigeria. Because whatever we hear about your country is all bad.”
The reply went as follows: “Well, I’ll tell you one good thing about my country, and that is different from the United States. There I don’t need to be afraid of anyone. Here, in Philadelphia, I am forced to be wary, even afraid, of everyone. It is okay to be afraid of a robber, but something must be wrong when you have to fear every person you meet on the road.”
Does that answer your question?

How do you feel abt the new place ?? Is it similar to that Nigerian views ??
I would think his views reflected some degree of paranoia. But, in a way, it is true.
