Do you have to hear "there is crime in SW" from the US government before you believe it? The truth is there's crime everywhere. My Anambra isn't on their list either. Doesn't mean I'll roam the place at night or speak for everyone to hear my accent.

Dudu_Negro: There is crime everywhere but the capital of kidnapping is in SS/SE, not SW.

Cleen is run by Nigerians and their input is bias considering their campaign is strategically positioned to gain inroad and win contracts for crime control in Lagos. If they said its SE or SS nobody will pay them attention.. They need relevance and crime fighting is big money in Lagos.....they want some of that contract in their pocket.

Simple!!

ogugua88: Let's agree with your statement that SE is the kidnapping capital. Do explain to me how that makes a man or woman in Lagos any safer.

Did you look at the charts or read the research at all?

Sloan: I think there is no point for all the back and forth. Whether SE is the kidnapping capital or SW is the kidnapping capital, does that change anything? What we need is change and I can't wait for us and my people to be free from the shackles of having to accommodate strangers in my land! In a nutshell, I can't wait for ibos to leave the SW to their region and we stay in our region too. Then, that will change something and we will not be having these kinds of back and forth.

ogugua88: I agree with the bolded. Everyone's house is on fire, meanwhile they're finger-pointing as to who has the biggest flames.

Anyway, the research says the number of those who have experienced crime in Nigeria reduced from 31% to 25%. There's something to celebrate.

Sloan:

I don't really want to argue this thread, some things are not just worth the argument because tomorrow, it starts all over again, everyone is still in the same messed up situation! Why can't we just go our ways for goodness sake! I have Ibo friends but the thousands who keep destroying the land of my fathers and my inheritance have made me soooooo tired of us letting them stay in our land. I am JUST TIRED of all kinds of argument, even a girlfriend and boyfriend, heck married couples breakup if the problems get TOO MUCH and they can't continue. Luckily, GEJ has provided an avenue for us to take a breather. After a few years of living in our regions, we will be able to know who is responsible for the greater percentage of crimes in Nigeria. Abeg support the conference and I hope this GEJ is serious because I am more than ready to have a better region, hopefully leading to a better country.

solomon111: Look at this mumu deceiving himself.
I won't be surprised if he actually believes this nonsense that he wrote.

Dudu_Negro: Its a fraud to give information to the public that negatively impacts and distorts the truth about events in any one region as is done here by Cleen.

[size=13pt]To get a true and accurate info on the rate of kidnapping you cannot go by court records or police arrest because those two are inconsistent you must run a risk factor survey in which you ask people in each region to assess security risk in their areas.[/size]

Why is the family of Governor of Akwa Ibom relocated to SW, why are all the important elite groups in SS/SE relocated to SW, why are all the important and leadership decision making meetings in SE held in SW?

What is risk factor that terrifies prople in SS/SE and cause their migratory drift to SW?

Charts and polls and statistical datas are indicators, they are not error proof and are very subjectively attached to an end.

The end here is security contracts for Cleen. The Chairman of the board has degree in criminology. Lagos is fighting a war on crime. He has to raise the risk bar and promote his company as a solution for the problem.

In a sane society he will be blacklisted by government and as well sued.

That's why I asked if you read the article.

The charts came from victimization surveys.

The surveys CLEEN is basing their national findings on were conducted by Practical Sampling International (PSI).

11,518 men and women from each of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria were surveyed.

Surely, they are not error proof, but the charts were made by answers from every day Nigerians and not court records or police arrests.

Let's not dodge facts. The research only proves what people with common sense already knew. Nigeria doesn't really have a safety zone, and citizens from each and every corner of the country are scared. It's not a SW, or SE, or SS, or NW, etc., problem. Lack of security/high crime is a Nigerian problem. The sooner people realize that all of us, rather than one region or tribe, have soiled hands, the sooner we get on the right track. Threads like this and that of Enugu being the crime capitol don't draw us closer to progress in all seriousness.

ogugua88: ^^^ I did wonder about that. I can't think of a reason.

masu: ARM VIOLENCE OTHER THAN RUBBERRY BY REGION:

Dudu_Negro: So is the report by USIS wrong. If I present you with the report from UK and EU on travel waning for Nigeria would that seal it for you?

Cleen is running a business.

This would be like CNN saying America has won the war on terror. That will kill their business. To promote business they have tobstay relevant.

Cleen is trying to stay relevant. Thry are biased.

Lets look at unbiased and non-commercial interest and their position on security and safe zones in Nigeria. What do they say?

seanet02:
You always want to group Lagos with South west when it comes to statistics on the bad side,
But when Yorubas and South Westerners says that Lagos belong to them, you will start running your isi ewu mouth.
Nkita Ara

masu: If Mr. Kemi Okenyodo, Executive Director CLEEN Foundation conducts a credible research of the crimes around naija very well without favouratism i blv SW will record higher above every region in crime summary followed by SE and NE, SS, NC and then NW.

I mean in general summary of crime commited. i have been in almost every region in naija so i know what am talking about.
all this lagos medias trying to over publicize crime in the east is purely a witch hunting of the ibos. am from a minority state so i know game.

passion007: And, in the spirit of the season, I expect this to make front-page.

Simple!!

A total of 3% of the respondents interviewed nationwide said that they had been
victims of kidnapping or attempted kidnapping. The South West had the highest
incidence of kidnapping with 5%, followed by the South East and South South with
4% each. The North West and North East each had an incidence of 3%, with the
lowest being North Central at 2%.

52% of respondents said they were satisfied with the way the Federal Government is
handling the issue of terrorism or bomb attacks; 30% were dissatisfied, 16% said they
were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied and 2% said they do not know.

Further analysis of the 5% who responded that they were victims of attempted
murder in 2013, showed that 35% of them said that the incidents occurred at their
own homes.

Domestic Violence
Nearly one in every three respondents (30%) admitted having been a victim of
domestic violence. Over the last 3 years, there has been an increase in domestic
violence. There was a progressive increment from 21% in 2011 to 31% in 2012 with a
1% decrease in the 2013 survey to 30%. The findings of the 2013 survey revealed
that domestic violence ranks amongst the top four most common victimizations in
Nigeria. Prevalence is highest in the South East with 43% followed by the South West
and the North East with 35% each. The South-South recorded a 26% incidence while
the North Central and North West recorded the lowest with 19% each.

Physical Assault
33% of respondents said they had been victim of physical assault in the 2013 survey.
Some states, Enugu (84%), Ebonyi (77%), Rivers (58%), and Anambra (50%)

Defined :The act required for an assault must be overt. Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat. A mere threat to harm is not an assault; however, [b]a threat combined with a raised fist might be sufficient if it causes a reasonable apprehension of harm in the victim.[/b]Intent is an essential element of assault. In tort law, it can be specific intent—if the assailant intends to cause the apprehension of harmful or offensive contact in the victim—or general intent—if he or she intends to do the act that causes such apprehension.
