Top Security Tips For Nigerians by ify2016: 12:09pm On Dec 31, 2019 |
Christmas has come and gone, but we have just a stone throw away from New year. Therefore,we should try to apply this security tips for yourself and love ones, not even for festive period alone but also when embarking on journey with a stranger. More crimes against people are committed on the streets during Yuletide season than in any other place. Therefore, the following precautions can help you to reduce your chances of being a victim: AVOID FOLLOWING A ROUTINE e.g. fixed shopping times and places,Seek advice on safe and crime prone areas Do not carry more cash or valuables than you can’t afford to lose. Adjust your profile to the area you are visiting. Keep keys in a pocket rather than in a bag; never attach your name and address to your key If you are walking on a lonely street or at night, walk facing the traffic and near the kerb. Always Walk with someone. Most attackers will be discouraged if you have company - male or female. Avoid dark, deserted areas, stay in well-lit areas. Avoid shortcuts through parks, vacant lots and other deserted places. Hold your purse close to you, not dangling. Never set it down on store counters, restaurant seats or bus seats. If a driver stops to ask you directions, avoid getting too close to car - you could be pulled inside. If you're being followed by someone, cross the street, act suspicious and keep looking behind you. This may discourage the follower. Walk towards a well-lit business or a group of people. If you're being followed by someone in a car, turn around and walk in the opposite direction. If possible record the license number, seek a safe location and call the police. When you return home, have your key ready to open door without delay. Leave your outside light on so you can easily see when you return home. If you are on your cell phone, keep your head up, look around and be alert. BEACH SECURITY For those who intend to visit the beach during the break, here are a few tips to follow: Go in company of others and wherever possible, with communication set such as radio GSM If you are using a vehicle to the beach, ensure that it is securely locked even if you are going to be within the immediate vicinity Please leave all valuable at home Consider leaving the beach before 1800hrs or during a period when you will not be isolated from persons that are able to offer assistance in the event of an emergency If you are with your children, please ensure they are always within your sight view. HOTEL SECURITY For those of us who travelled and lodged in hotel, this is for you: Do not entertain strangers in your hotel room Be alert to overly friendly locals who may have criminal intentions Never leave valuables in your hotel room exposed or unattended to, even in a locked suitcase Place valuables, money, jewelry, airplane tickets, credit cards, passport, in a hotel safe deposit box or room safe Familiarize yourself with escape routes in case of fire or other catastrophe Use the door chain or bolt lock whenever you are in your room Use the door viewer (peephole) before opening the door for visitors or hotel attendance. Do not discuss your room number, while standing in the lobby or leave your room key on restaurant or bar tables USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT Some of us might travel in public transport this festive period. Please note these: Petty criminals frequent public transport parks everywhere in the world. In order to avoid being a victim, we advise as follows: Select a taxi, which is registered, and preferably agree on the fee before departure Do not share a taxi with unknown persons especially when you are carrying valuables Use a rental car only if you are familiar with the route or the routes are clearly signposted and do rent an inconspicuous car Use a reputable bus company for long distance bus travel and book in advance. If possible, select a seat at the middle. If traveling in crowded public transport, keep personal belongings close to your person and in front of you Avoid the use of public transport 2000-0600hrs if possible Stay far away from luggage's whose owner is unidentified. Happy New Year in Advance. 28 Likes 5 Shares |

helbah:We hope the moderators will be able to do something permanently about this porn boy, the same boy that creates hundreds of monikers everyday cancelling members post. Same member as Devilhimself, Olanipekun, satan66, Lucifer, Shakazullu or whatever and over 300 more (he follows us with all these monikers, hence our knowing who he is) What is actually his aim exhibiting all these form of foolishness? We know you guys are doing all you can to moderate this forum, keep it up. We want to see a saner forum As from 2020. A forum your kid can sit on your lap as you click on threads to read on Nairaland without being afraid of what to find when you open a thread. So help you God! Delete after reading this post. Thanks! 9 Likes 2 Shares |
