I intended getting one to guard against the potential breakdown of law and order...

This looks like information for the US.

Please what's the procedure for Nigeria? I need a shotgun asap

Nice article. But make it peculiar to Nigeria. Obtaining firearm in Nigeria is very daunting. The police will do everything to frustrate you.

I think its wise

1.Build electric traps in your houses instead.. Or 2. connect gas chambers to your door step.. You have to use bricks and cement for full construction of your front porch.
3. Have an acid inlay pipe work connected to your door step, parlour and rooms.. Have a strong room in every house plan.. Install motion detectors at your gate, very loud alarm system to distort the coordination of the intruder. Do mock panic exercises and test run your installations from time to time.

Not true at all. I recently renewed all my gun permits in Nigeria, for five years each, so my instruments are all duly licensed until 2025. No shaking.
