hehe... wen i saw the post i thought u wan to tell us where we can get guns or learn taekwando to fight armed rubbers

Intelligence gathering is a cheaper, faster, quicker and simpler way to fight crime. You nip crime in the bud.

Timbuktou:
The government should make it easier for citizens to own weapons. Neighbourhood crime will reduce drastically.

Sorry but Nigeria is not a place to allow or encourage that yet.

Such opportunities could create a misused and innapropriate acts by this same individuals. I don't think we have gotten to that level yet. Although, i might support it to those at certain stage or class of people who are educated and trusted enough to get such grants with thorough checks as a law abiding citizen of Nigeria. Thank you

May God save us from karishika!!!!!

As a teenager, a young girl of 15 years old, there was a guy living in my neighborhood. This man stayed at home all day playing loud music, and put on generator when there's power failure. He used to go out every night and come with at least a girl in the morning. Everybody was talking about him, but none dare asked what his job was. Because he usually beat his girlfriends blue black. So, to the neighbors he was very brutal. But I did something. I went to Shomolu police station, then. Not even the Station close to Pedro where we lived. I reported my observation. The DPO was curious. Because, I specifically demanded I wanted to see the DPO one-on-one, not the subordinates. Few days later, police came to raid the house. They recovered pistols, charm, and other stuff from the guy. It was then we knew we had been living with a criminal.

That's the power of information.

That singular step made the police discovered my potentials, that also informed my becoming a lawyer to complement my newly-found ambition, and I thank God for where he's taken me today .

I ve learnt to mind my business. A certain criminal robbed a man and brought his car to my neborhood. Sars tracked the car until they found it in our estate were the criminal has got a relative. They arrest our security men and they community has to bail them. As time goes on a trap was set for the victim and he was arrested. Everyone was happy that the criminal will be dealt with for his crime. We were mistaken. After a few weeks he was back in the estate and was even threatening members of the community who were outspoken. Within a short time he committed another crime and the chairman of the estate reported him to the police and he was made to take undertaken never to show up in that estate. As I write you some people re praying that there path never cross again. Is good to report such incident if your safety is guaranteed. I doubt if that is the case in Nigeria. That's is why jungle justice still reigns

To some great extent, you can give information to the security agents, even the police, without endangering your life. There are bad elements in these agencies, agreed. All you need do is being pro-active. Go to the police station or DSS office close to you, get what we call "CONTROL ROOM NUMBERS". Don't wait till there's a crime before asking for numbers. You can hide your number, and call these lines if there's any crime in your area, or if you suspect any movement around you.

And to make sure the police act on your information, also put the information on online news, and let them know the matter is in the public domains in case they wanna act funny.

This is what I had inin mind as well. Not that I expect the government to allow just anybody own a gun.

masterP042:
How do I get the supposed formatted phone numbers of the security agencies?

Go to the nearest police station, or DSS office, if any, in your area, ask for their control room numbers. I'm sure they would gladly give you. And if the over zealous ones bother to ask why you need them, tell them you might need them for security reasons, because that's what the numbers are meant for.

EazyMoh:
Hnmn Ok thanks, will discuss it with neighbors.

In no distance future all those things will begin to happen if you don't get rid of them now.

Fhowe:
Eksugal better learn to mind your business and be prayerful so you dont experience robberies and kidnapping cause if you are a busy person i wonder how you take note of somethings (if you have a 9-5 job in naija which is obviously 5-9 )you wont take note of somethings you have mentioned above only jobless people take note of such na naija we dey MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS NA VERY BIG AND USEFUL ADVICE

You sound so illogical, and empty. I cannot even be classified as a low-income earner.
For your information, I'm not wired to be fearful! That's not my upbringing. You may live in fear forever. But I can assure you, the day any criminal crosses my way, his days would be numbered.
You won't understand!

Nothing pays more dan minding ur own business, if u report u be sabo...and believe me u der always have a way of findin out wu reported dem. Wen der do, u r as gud as notin

That's the language of a coward. That's the lie they have sold to you. And that's why some rape victims never report the rapists, because they have have threatened them they would die, or would be dealt with if they do. But in reality, the day the victim summons couRage to report the criminal, that day would mark the beginning of the end for the rapist.

May I remind u that I parked out from my former place cos the police failed to protect me. The robber were hitting my window commanding me to open the door so that they can enter. Immediately I called okooba police station just at my backyard, they were asking me stupid questions like how long ve they been there and are they armed. Due to this delay the robber forced their way into my house and use their gun and broke my fragile skull for wasting their time. One of them spoke back to the police with my phone and challenged the police to dare them. Immediately the left like 30mins after, the police showed up I was angry with them and I ordered them to leave my house cos it looks as if the have arrangement with the robbers. Let me tell u something is better u live in a community were security is well organised like we're I am now. At the gate you are question my man o war guys. You must ve residence sticker and a gate pass for ur vistors. The securities sometimes call u if they doubt the story from any visitors. This security guys re changed every 2months. We pay heavily but is more liable than the police. I hate to remember what they robbers did to me. End this thread cos till date am still paying for all that they stole from me. In a saner society none of them would ve escaped

henryobinna:
OP your number 3 is partly flawed.

what's your business with someone who you don't know their job but they're living large? I think that's jealousy, the said person could be someone who works from home or at night.

Another title for the write up is:
How to endanger your life and that of your loved ones as a law abiding citizen.

I disagree with you. Only the fearful , the cowards would give it such title.
Get rid of such mentality.

I understand your pain. And, sorry for that. Like I said earlier, there are also bad eggs in all the security agencies, police inclusive.
And, honestly , you had every right to petition them. And if you had done that, I'm sure the higher authority would have taken it up.
But, your case was an exception. Police, especially could be funny.
But, then people should not give up. There are ways to keep them on their toes. I remember back then, 2013 or so, a guy reported a particular case to one of the agencies, and the the "oga at the top" of the security agency wanted to sweep it under carpet, for reason best known to him. I told the guy to put the story on Nairaland. And somehow, it found its way to the front page. Other media houses got it from Nairaland, and it went viral. By that time the "oga at the top" heard of the story on TV, radio, everywhere, he had no choice than to do the right.
We should not be discouraged by the bad eggs!

To stem down the high rate of killing, raping, kidnapping, cult activities, armed robberies, fraud (419, yahoo plus), ritual killings, insurgency, etc, in the country we need to police our immediate environment. We must do the following:

1. Live on the right side of the law. Don't do crime.

2. Don't abet crime. Don't aid crime. Don't join hands with criminals.

3. Expose the criminal elements and their activities in your neighborhood. Criminals are not ghost. They are human beings. They live among people. Get official security lines from police, DSS, and other law enforcement agents in your locality. Report to them. Such reports are anonymous. They don't reveal your identity. Their phone lines have being formatted to hide your identity. You don't even have to tell them your name. Just ensure you give genuine information. Work like a voluntary under-cover. For instance, a young man is living large in your neighborhood, without any obvious job, and you keep quiet. Hmmmn. You're playing with fire.

4. If you see something, say something! Be security conscious!


5. If you keep quiet, they would continue to rob you, kill you, rape the women, defile the minors, kidnap for rituals and ransom, and foment troubles as cultists.

6. Forget about their empty threats of reprisal attacks or revenge attacks. They only use that to intimidate people. Once they are caught, and sent to where they belong, they can't do nothing! Moreso, your identity is hidden.

7. When you don't stand against evil, there can't be peace in the land.

Morals: if you fail to do your part as a good citizen, never blame the government or the authority for whatever horrors the criminals in your areas are subjecting you to. Life is choice.

Your number 6 is so untrue. don't take the threat of a hardened criminal lightly. the only point I see in your post is 1 and 2. everybody must not be an informant. Nothing kills faster than not minding your business.

Well, every man to his own thought. As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. If you think you're nothing but a pawn in the hands of these criminals, so be it! I have done this for years, and I can say it pays to be on the right side of the law. And this is what I will do for the rest of my long life, by God's grace!

In community policing, everybody must be an informant. I pity the cowards in our society, they would live in bondage and fear of the criminals forever. If you see something, say something!

The best way is to live a good and normal life. Your life especially attracts good behavior to u. You can be in the midst of criminal minded people and get due respect from them. Live a normal life, dress decently, be humane to them, don't be stingy, help anyone in needy and don't discriminate whatsoever. That's the best medicine to criminal minded people.

You have produced the best recipe Report them to corrupt Police, you are in trouble if the criminals are able to bribe their ways Or you rely on the Judiciary that serves the interest of the highest bidders That's why I subscribe to your suggestions Take care of yourself why God cares for everybody!

I remember as a young girl in JSS1 then. I was really very smart academically, and so I was noticed by one parent in my neighborhood whose son was also in my class. The parent made arrangement with my parents on how we could be studying together. So, the parent would bring him to our house every 7:30pm and pick him home by 9:30pm. We became friends in the process, and he had some improvement in his academic performance. But something happened. In a particular night, as we prepared for exam, I noticed this my friend was writing some stuffs in some tiny pieces of paper, and I asked what was that for. He said he was taking the paper to exam hall. Meaning, "expo". I warned him never to try that, and the implication of being caught. But he insisted he would go in with the "micro chips". I told him point blank that if he tried that, I would personally report him. Funny enough, his seat was not far from mine in the class. So, when the exam started, I occasionally looked at his direction. Lo and behold, this boy brought out the paper and started copying. I just called the attention of the invigilator, and told him to search the boy. And they found the "expo" on him. He was severely punished! He nearly put his parent into trouble , being a member of staff of the same school.

I was brought up to eschew or hate evil. I know it's not easy to fight crime, but with wisdom, with discretion we can track down or give information that could lead to arrest of the criminals in our neighborhood.
