The pros and cons of gun ownwership is difficult to measure accurately,

Importing laws and policies...

That work in other countries will not necessarily work here.

Nigeria is a unique and peculiar country!

those middle belt boiz & men dey make me vex!

em no fit secure d land wey their forefathers bestow unto dem!

We need to have a very functional and strong police force before we can allow guns. Our crime rate will just skyrocket. I am pro guns too but naija ain't ready.

This guy is ignorant

These herdsmen are cowards,they can't attack people in the cities but only helpless women and children in the villages.Gun should be legalize please, let's check something

They are moving to cities little by little. In fact, it's their major plan. If nothing is done now, you will soon see what will follow.

It would increase crime rate the more. The problem is our govt. If the govt in those states can be strict to insecurity like Wike, all these would have reduced to the minimum but the Northern Govt are pampering these terrorists and this is making things worst. These guys keep protecting the ruthless terrorists. E.g Shiek Gumi(the Ambassador of Terrorists) yet our so-called DSS have refused to arrest him.

Nigerians should have a right to own Guns 🔫 🔫 🔫 and defend themselves against religious extremists like that Nairaland terrorist called Postinor

Get a gun and kill Postinor and members of his terrorist group if they cross your path...

E nor go better for Postinor this New Year...

Postinor (The useless terrorist) must die

What do you mean by ISLAMIST terrorists in your write up...? Call them terrorists and leave ISLAM out of it

BondRiv:
We are not going to legalize gun ownership in Nigeria, else this country is gone. Stop the copy and paste. As organized as the USA, they are still battling with it.

And who gave those herdsmen, armed ribbers, bandits & kidnappers their own. Once everyone holds a gun, there shall be check & balances as everyone shall be careful.

You are quite correct my brother.

GloriousGbola:
This one actually thinks Mexican citizens can defend themselves against the cartels?

Na semen full your brain.. Read the article again!

It is not as simple as that. Knowing Nigeria, there will be mayhem, the type never witnessed before.

Even if they legalize the guns, how many people in Nigeria will be able to afford the cost and the bullet or amunitions, or will the government distribute them for free to the public? Or is gun that easily cheap to obtain

Hiaaa, this guy is literally saying 20-25% of Nigeria population are mentally unstable, 50 million people or one out of every 4 Nigerian has one form of mental illness or the other.

Na bus conductor go shoot you over 200 Naira change, what a waste of life.

Then as usual your family will turn around and blame Government for allowing agberos to legally carry guns, not been aware that it is what their child wished for.

If you think Mexico where drug cartels are more powerful than the government and are a career path for special forces soldiers is what you will use aa a yardstick you are an ignorant fool who knows nothing

What gives most criminals the audacity to attack people is because people are defenseless. But one thing I am scared of is people abusing that privilege. Someone might just be frustrated and just decides to kill just to vent.

My opinion, each state should run it's own police and the community where you live operates it's own security personnel (more like vigilante) which is in 24/7 contact and synergy with the state police. That way, familes would be safer than every family owning a gun?

Oil dey your kpekus

Nigerians sabi overdo things, it's a nice to legalize gun but what will come after it is another thing

Dead body go surplus

Better than sitting on your hands whilst being butchered by low life criminals.

Austindark:
Do you know how many people gets stabbed everyday due to the availability of bottles.??

And you want Guns to be added to the scene.

People in the farm and remote villages should have guns!. Don't u gerrrit?!

Kionrae:
Bad idea

Yeah it is... But, it is better than defenseless people being slaughtered like goats.

In the failure to secure your nation, you allow people defend themselves.

We've been calling for better state and national security for years now, and it has continued to fall on deaf ears.

If things don't change, the revolution will be bloody!!!

You can't just assume Nigerians will keep swallowing this nonsense forever.

When Landlord shoot you or person for your family over house rent, then you will know how ignorance has played overtime in your wishful thinking.

If you are not a coward why you never arm yourself?

Ok You are waiting for government to give you permission first abi?

SALLYBERRY01:

But then what is the solution?

I should think it makes sense - give guns to the innocent and vulnerable. They claim to carry guns to protect their cattle, it only makes sense that farmers have guns to protect their farms as well. By the way, this is also what is obtained in the more civilized world.

emeejinsm:
Legalize gun and this corn tree will divide by force

The country never divide like this?!!

Let it burn or divide!

We can't keep sacrificing innocent lives just to uphold unity.

Other then the United States, mention the country you know where Citizens under their constitution are allowed to carry arms?

And mind you that was enshrined in their constitution to allow the Oyibos seize the land of the red indians.

If the government won't make public the sponsors of insecurity, if they cannot go after terrorists and their sponsors, they should allow the victims of insecurity to own guns.
