Just curious...

If you instal a supposed Turkish bulletproof door in your house and armed robbers insist that you open thr door, will you:

a). Open the door to let them in.

b). Call their bluff and damn the consequences.

Any takers?

//

l will not open the door, l will call their bluff and l must have cocked my fully loaded AK-47 , atleast l will have more than 6 fully loaded AK-47 hidden in different part of my build with tons of bullets and be ready for action with desperate shootings & firing from all cylinders, no time for negotiation with criminals , Nigeria is a jungle and not a place to be gentle with ba..stards who wants to end your life

Dear All,

I consider this thread to be the best way to reach most people on NL Property forum in respect to the information i am about to pass across to prospective people who is planning to start a new building project in Lagos.
Of course this info may not be new to most people on here, but for the sake of others i want to share about the New Lagos building control policy.

The new management of Lagos State Building control Agency has made it compulsory for every project to have a COREN certified Engineer that will issue a Letter of indemnity in respect to such project. Irrespective of your building approval status the letter of indemnity is given a high priority. The implication is that the project will be stopped by the LABSCA Task force until letter is presented.

I don't pray much but one of my favorite prayers is that "may god give me the resources to be who I want to be".

That been said, if a robber is knocking on my front door then a good chunk of my initial levels 1,2 and 3 defense has been thwarted and at that point it's a take no prisoners scenario. Defcon 1 if you may, a fight for ultimate survival.

I won't open the door for sure but they may make entry if they wish and do not value their life.

**PS - I wouldn't place emphasis on Turky bulletproof doors. Think of paths of least resistance. They can simply avoid the secdoors and come in through the walls or roof if they are that brazen.

Excellent example of a petite Chinese woman that handled herself very well. I couldn't be more proud of her.

We Nigerians need to wake up from our sleepless slumber and retake our country from common thugs.

Are you packing all these heat in Nigeria?

12guage short gun should be ok.

I was just pondering what a typical Nigerian homeowner would do considering that a lot of armed robbers are known to ask for access instead of forceful entry.

Scary! Isn't it? The thought that some build 15ft wall and gates, yet armed robbers just pour acid on the wall, create a hole and crawl into a compound.
/

he said he didnt think twice before he started firing at different directions and the robbers all fled, it was his gun blast that woke his hausa guys, other building owners, before he came to my building to check on me, by then, l don co..ck the small hunters gun l had and nobody slept that night, other building owners brought their guns out, one of the building owners was a retired Naval Officer and he brought out his " ogbonigue gun " as well , we ended up patrolling the whole neighborhood till towards morning before we all retired to bed and those bastards never came again

EgunMogaji:


I like your idea. If I may add:

1) Make sure that there's only one eye witness alive to sing a story to the coppers = you.

2) Make sure to transfer the preferably dead robbers fingerptints to the gun in various locations.

3) The gun? "Oh officer, they came with the gun and I just managed to wrestle it away from them. "

All your points well noted, l wont allow asshat, touts, area-boys to waste my life in Nigeria, l wish they allow all Nigerians to own guns be properly trained & armed and also make it easier to own a gun, it will reduce or send fears into some of this criminals entering peoples homes with impunity to rob and kill

AngelicBeing:


Yes , 12 guage may sometimes not be enough with the kind of robbers & vampires we currently have now in Nigeria, my friends house was attacked by robbers 2 years ago when l visited Nigeria on vacation, his house was a stone throw to mine, l was on medication because l had slight cough and was fast asleep, he opened his armory and started firing, he has about 9 Hausa guys he gave free accommodation to and they also serve as his night guard, they where all asleep but according to him, he heard strange movement and noise around his building and when he peeped from the first floor he saw bad boys taking positions, he said he didnt think twice before he started firing at different directions and the robbers all fled, it was his gun blast that woke his hausa guys, other building owners, before he came to my building to check on me, by then, l don co..ck the small hunters gun l had and nobody slept that night, other building owners brought their guns out, one of the building owners was a retired Naval Officer and he brought out his " ogbonigue gun " as well , we ended up patrolling the whole neighborhood till towards morning before we all retired to bed and those bastards never came again

Thank you for this useful information.

Thanks for this useful information. This could be very helpful. I'm just going through documentation for a property in Ikorodu, so this is so timely. This will need follow up but for our immediate use, do you know if the indemnity answers the following questions:

What's the purpose of the indemnity given the fact that the structural drawings may be signed off by a COREN certified engineer and approved at Alausa possibly again by a COREN certified engineer?

Hypothetically, if the structural drawings are signed off by a Senior COREN engineer, for example an associate, does one still need the indemnity? If yes, who issues the indemnity? Any COREN certified engineer? If yes, so a "small boy or girl" who left school "yesterday" wrote COREN and pass will now indemnify structural drawings signed off by a seasoned COREN Associate?

At what level of structure does one needs an indemnity? Do I need an indemnity if I'm building a boys' quatre, or is it at bungalow level or a 10 storeys structure?

Indemnity is a form of insurance, so if things go wrong, the COREN engineer pay's compensation (tort) ?

Aventures:

The COREN Engineer that certify your structural drawings, can only be held responsible if there is an error in the design he certified, and God forbid there is a mishap due to this error. In most cases design may be perfect but not followed or strictly adhered to during construction that is why in cover letter that goes with the structural drawing the engineer will write in there that he is not liable or responsible if he is not involved in the supervision. But in the case of this letter of indemnity it is expected to be written by whosoever you engage to ensure compliance to the structural design and standard construction practices. a boy or girl who left school yesterday must have spent minimum of four years as tutelage period under a registered engineer.

You do not need this letter for bungalow or boy's quatre except your bungalow has a structural design.

This indemnity is not as applicable in the insurance but to identify a scape goat to be punished in the event of any structural failure of the structure. The fall guy risk forfeiture of his certificate and jail term.

Folks does anyone have any idea if a solar powered version of this lamp is in the market and if so how much is it?

Thanks.

Daboomb:


While the use of Hausa Mallams and 'safety in numbers' used to be a safe mechanism in the past, in recent years, stories like Mallams (Mai Guards) ratting on their benefactor, acting as informant and even actively robbing and murdering them , has become so frequent so much so as to render that aspect of the defence mechanisms ...not so effective!

Even moreso in this era of "herdsmen" kidnapping and murdering everyone down South!

Anyway, it may be working for others sha.

Daboomb:


The bolded is the way to go!

One Landlord cannot do the job.
Do you notice that Robbers also come in droves (four to ten in number and well armed)?

Why not Home owners band together and DO SOMETHING TOO.

Going forward, l think the Fed Govt and Security Agencies should make it "easier" for people of legitimate means and concern to, to own and license Guns for self defence, especially at night.

If Fulani herdsmen can be carrying AK-47 openly (just to protect COWS! ), how much more people with a family...INSIDE THEIR OWN HOME AT NIGHT?

l concur

true2home:
Congratulations for having CARING and BRAVE neighbors. Now here is my Question; Did the police come and check if all your guns are licensed? I once lived next to an Armed Robber and he was an informer for the underworld and Landlord as well.

Police ke, to come check wetin, leave matter, most building owners now have their guns for self defense, some are registered and many are not, some have dane guns , others have sophisticated weapons, some have jazz, juju, touch my gate & sweep my compound, moreover, the issue of living with people with questionable character is left for the police to investigate and find out, l will not be the one telling the police how to do their job, the most important thing is the safety of the neighborhood and if eventually we have a mole within the community , he will be fished out with time, you cant hide nor conceal evil for a long time, light will always triumph over darkness
