NIGERIANS, USE THESE TIPS TO STAY SAFE FROM GETTING KIDNAPPED OR KILLED

An African adage has it that, "a wise person learns from what happens to others but a fool waits until trouble engulfs his head". Another one says that "when the corpse of another person's child is being carried, it looks like a bundle of firewood".

Yesterday, I was somewhere when a sound like gunshot went off and people began to run this way and that. It turned out that it was a police van having exhaust issues.

We have had too many kidnap and murder incidents all over Nigeria in recent years. So, it will be foolish for anyone not to get prepared against such an incident.

Those who are bound to say, "not my portion" should know that no one who was ever kidnapped or killed prayed for it. So, it can still happen to anyone else even if they are not praying or prepared for it.

Therefore, let's use this opportunity to share any tips we have that can help Nigerians to stay safe in any situation where Government security may fail.

I START: Below are the tips I have for everyone to stay safe. I will add more as I remember them. Now, also share the ones you know:

1. Don't post your residential address online.

2. Don't share details about your children or the members of your household online.

3. Don't go to an unfamiliar location alone. If you have a job that takes you into the hinterlands, find a different job.

4. Whenever you drive, watch your back through the side mirror and if you ever notice anything that looks like someone is following you, pull up at a busy place and let the vehicle pass. Then, follow it up and watch the driver's further behavior and act accordingly.

5. Have the number of a Police team or the Police station in your area. Just ask for it with a good manner of approach, giving your reason. Use the number whenever the occasion demands it - even if you only suspected something sinister.

6. If you ever see any vehicle packed in your neighborhood without any sign that the vehicle broke down, call the attention of other people in your neighborhood to it. Or, you call a Police team. No matter what, the Police can still help.

7. Emphatically instruct the members of your household to always raise an alarm whenever anyone orders them to come to them. Tell them why they need to do this with every courage they can muster.

8. Before you attend any job interview, make sure that you have done a background check on the company.

9. If you survive by doing casual or domestic work in unspecified locations, always tell a close family member where you are working each day.

10. Avoid expressing desperation online. Some evil people can capitalize on it to lure you.

11. If you ever hear any gunshot when you are outdoors, don't panic. Instead, calm down and know the exact direction it's coming from before you try a SMART escape.

You can share yours.

14. Do not post certain informations, like how wealthy you are or money you just got on social media.

15. When giving testimonies in church remember not to go into much details, like amount of money you were paid or given.

16. Always take note of passengers when boarding a public vehicle.

The bitter truth is that not all of your successes should be told. Some should be kept to yourself.
Your closest pals may want you to be successful but only your parents wants you to be more successful than them. Good success may cause jealousy and hate.

Mmm. How did we get here I was talking to someone that Somalia doesn't have it worse. Nigerians thinking because they are able to still have their parties, and 'owambes', means it's not that bad. Delusion!

1) Avoid entering a lift, most especially at night!
2) whenever you board a public transport, avoid talking anyhow or intruding into any conversation inorder to be focused!
3) Do not visit a stranger without the notice of your family members (atleast two persons)
4) If a strange number calls you, ensure you know the person very well, before even thinking of seeing him or her on certain conditions that will guild you.
5) Becareful when Airing your personal profile including your phone number on hookup shows on radio or tv.
6) Do not follow your friend to strange places at night in the name of flexing. Everybody is a suspect ooh...
7) Always listen to your spirit and body language, it helps sometimes!
cool Avoid boosting of your financial life in public because you don't know the next man.

Avoid online dating. Behind that sexy chic that you saw online seeking your attention tonight might just be a photo posted by a kidnapper.

Be careful on the kind of incredible things you post for sale online. Avoid posting goods worth billions of naira for sale on the internet that demands your presence for a successful deal.

Keep that Rolls Royce, Escalade 2022, Ferrari SF 90 Stradale and those posh cars that you drive to the club at night into your garage. A smart kidnapper will see you as good market
