Alert: Increased Crime in Lagos
Security Alert: U.S. Consulate Lagos
Location: Lagos, Nigeria Date: 04/27/2021 Event: Security Notice

The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos has recently seen a notable increase in crime in Lagos. Reports of robberies/smash-and-grabs on the roads by armed men have increased significantly on both Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Typically, men on a motorcycle will follow a vehicle until it stops at a traffic light or intersection then approach the vehicle, present a weapon, and rob the occupants. Although most of these incidents happen at night, the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos has received reports of robberies taking place during daylight hours.

Please remember to be aware of your surroundings, especially when driving at night. The following personal safety tips can help reduce your risk of becoming a victim.

Keep vehicle doors locked and windows rolled up at all times while driving, especially in traffic jams or at traffic lights.

Politicians ke, it's no politician, but the old senile man at the helm of affairs that can't even manage his home. The man can't even manage a political structure, a politician knows how to manage political structure even if he can't perform in governance.

This thing is just common sense. When there is extreme poverty, the crime rate is bound to increase.

The rate of poverty in a society determines how crime surges

It is obvious even to a layman who these okada riding armed robbers are, they are still the same people that unleashed mayhem at Iyana Iba and LASU few days ago. Instead of these people to ban okada riding immediately and enforce it by all means necessary, they are here looking on helplessly. If highbrow areas like Ikoyi, Lekki and VI are no longer safe, then it means no where is safe in Lagos anymore.

They should continue antagonizing Igbos while their places are gradually being overrun.

Look at them, they always find a way to mention Igbos/East in their misery. They will see where their problem is coming from, they will know those responsible yet they will ignore it.

Continue decieving yourself, by the time you and your leaders will get sense, it will be too late.

People are governed and policed by consent. Once all the right things are done, it's very easy to govern and police people. In countries abroad where crime and insecurity is low, it is not because the police and security services are so good. It is because the people are generally content and don't have the need to misbehave. There the government gives them what they want like unemployment payments, free social housing, salary top ups for people working part time, bursaries and loans for students, good infrastructure, free legal services for low earners or unemployed, uninterrupted power supply, water supply, good free education, good health care, well trained police/security services that respect themselves and stay on their lane. The list is endless and these are things that only the few rich can afford in Nigeria. In addition the government there enables the environment for private investment and financial services, so that entrepreneurs can access cheap loans, individuals can access cheap loans (for cars, housing etc) and the institutions are strictly monitored.

There the government "keeps the people sweet" or should I say, bribes them with solid services and good quality of life so that they can be elected again. Therefore there is no need or desperation to go and rob, kidnap or run around causing mayhem asking for your own country because you feel you are neglected. In Nigeria the government governs with DEEP sentiments (devoid of any economic reality) and are mischievously cheered on by ethnic bigots and people who are gaining financially or infrastructure wise. They do not see the need to "bribe" people with good services and quality of life. Instead they reward people who they believe supported them or who belong to their region or tribe. Over the decades this has created a lopsided situation where some regions are lagging far behind and theboverwhelming population in Nigeria as a whole is poor, hence Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Therefore this makes any person with a little bit of money (and I men just a little bit of money) target for a multitude of hungry crazed desperate people. That is why certain people have to move around with armed police, with some even having their homes guarded by serving military men.
Complete madness.
