1. Tip from Taekwondo (martial arts): the ELBOW is the strongest point of your body. If you are attacked and are close enough to use it, DO!
2. If a ROBBER demands your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away! He is more interested in your possessions than in you. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever THROWN INTO A TRUNK OF A CAR, kick out the tail lights, stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy! The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. THIS TRICK HAS SAVED LIVES.
4. Sometimes after shopping, eating, working, etc., some people get into their cars and just sit there, doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE!
If someone is in the car and is threatening you with a weapon, DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead, gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your airbag will save you. If the person is in the backseat, they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes, bail out and run.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A) BE AWARE: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger sidefloor, and in the back seat.
B.)If you are parked next to a BIG VAN, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while they are getting into their cars.
C) Look at the car parked on both the driver and the passenger’s sides of your vehicle. If a male sits alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!
8. NOTE TO EVERYONE, BUT ESPECIALLY WOMEN: STOP being sympathetic! It might get you raped, or killed! Often, serial killers would be a good-looking, well-educated man who play on the sympathies of unsuspecting victims! They walk with a cane, or a limp, and often ask to help them get into his vehicle.
9. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR TO STRANGERS! There was a case when a woman heard a crying baby on her porch, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police WARNED HER AGAINST OPENING THE DOOR, as a serial killer had a baby's cry recorded and used it to coax women out of their homes.
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life. In daylight hours, refresh this INFO OF WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF EMERGENCY! This is for your SAFETY, and for you to pass it onto YOUR LOVED ONES, too.
Take care!

Numb 7 is crazily risky

Great tips! But lemme add more

1) if you are driving, and someone throws egg at your windscreen, don't flush it with water from your wipers. Egg mixed with water makes vision very blur

2) if you take a stranger in your car, and the person says He/She wants to urinate, don't stop your car immediately, make sure your cover like a kilometer or two before granting the request. Many had been robbed that way!

3) When you are in a commercial bus, and you find the driver and a passenger talking about money, don't join the discuss, just alight at the next bus stop!

4) if you suspect a trail or a robber takes you to an ATM Point to withdraw money from your account, instead of pressing your normal PIN(eg 1954) just press the Reverse 4591. The ATM machine contains a blaring alarm which makes a noisy sound at such instance

5) if you are reading this, and you have your personal details, Phone No and pictures on a social medium like NAIRALAND, just pull it down immediately, many people had been duped by such public display of personal information.

6) Happy New Year!
