Felix Nwafor, a seasoned security activist and avid reader of Top5, had seen it all when it came to the streets of Nigeria’s bustling cities. Felix decided to share his wealth of knowledge, gleaned from years of experience and countless conversations with both victims and law enforcement.

“Surviving the streets of our beautiful but sometimes treacherous cities isn’t just about luck. It’s about being smart, being prepared, and most importantly, being aware.” He said as he gave tips of survival. “Let me share most crucial tips that have kept me and countless others safe while moving through our vibrant urban landscapes,”


1. Time Your Travels Wisely

Felix’s first piece of advice resonated deeply with the group. “Avoid late hours after 9 pm and early hour movements before 6 am,” he stressed. “These are the times when the shadows grow long and the predators come out to play.” He went on to explain that criminals often take advantage of the reduced visibility and fewer witnesses during these hours.

Felix emphasized that timing isn’t just about the hour of the day but also about being aware of your surroundings. “Pay attention to events or situations that might increase risk. Football matches, political rallies, or even heavy rainfalls can create opportunities for criminals.” By being mindful of these factors, travelers can significantly reduce their chances of becoming targets.

2. Keep a Low Profile
