You funny oh... robbers dey invade a complete street without fear of even the police. Even if the owner was home, shouting or calling the police will not make any difference and the neoghbours wouldn´t dare come out or make any noise. Just pray that you don´t experince this robbers.

Really?.. you where lucky then, l recalled when l was in Nigeria recently and drove in lagos, they pulled me over, within seconds, they knew l was new in town and asked me to shake body, l turned everything to laughter, told them next time and jokingly drove away, some of them can smell "abroad" on your sleeve or mannerisms. Lol, l sometimes pity them though because they work under terrible working conditions and are exposed to hazards / robbers daily on the roads without a commensurate benefits at the end of the month, no wonder they ask for bribes openly sad

The fear and tension alone when robbers invade your property will not make you do the right thing, haven't you heard of robbers pointing guns at people who are sleeping and tell them to cooperate or they blow their heads off, Nigeria is more like a country without security at the moment, what do you do as a home owner when you have 7 bad boys with AK-47 inside your living room pointed at you? and you have others waiting at different areas of your building?....

I was robbed under a similar situation. I laugh when people say I will shoot them, I will take them out. Just do your best in terms of securing your house and leave the rest to God.
I was asleep in the night, I head a sudden thump and cracking of glasses on my bedroom window and the next thing I saw a riffle pointed at my head on the bed and the burglary proof was removed like this in just about 2 kicks. If I had run, I could not have been faster than olododo, the metal inside the riffle. It even took me a few seconds to understand what was happening self. If I cooperated, I could survive, I did just that and I am alive to type this.
What could I have done differently? No matter how strong your burglary proof is, it enters the wall somewhere and that is the weak point. Very brave ones don't even bother with windows or doors, the create a hole on your wall and enter the house

1) No single level of protection will ever be as effective as multi level. Even then it's still attempt at frustrating the casual thief.

2) What was done to this window canalso he done to an embedded one. I chose non embedded because I can do a more ornate design versus the kirikiri ish embedded look.

3) Tall fence (my preference) with razor wire on top.
Mai guard.
"Trained" security dogs. Not family pet.
Sensored and protected entry points with cameras in strategic points.

Now relax, sit back and hope your number is not up with a determined crew. The isha wewes will leave you be.

Baba, I feel you oh.
Apart from the options we have too, we often forget there is delicate balance between security and safety. The more we secure ourselves from outside invasion or intrusion, the more unsafe we become in case of emergency. It is like deliberately creating a kirikiri for ourselves.
I just wonder why Nigeria is the way it is!

Anything is posible structurally. One has to be cautious of the designer and make sure they are applying the right design parameter for the desired result.

i might use my dad's security strategy we used to call "danger". It is a single light bulb and wired. No visitor or family after 8pm. gate locked. That thing was effective. It kills lots of big snakes that tired to scaled through the fence. Almost kill a boy that touched our fence at 9AM bcus we woke up late to run it off. But things are difference now. My dad used the danger after his meter was stolen when he completed his house in 1989

Totally hides the crappy shyte tube, of which I hate to see.

I say this respectfully and I mean no harm but the difference between someone like you and one like me and cohorts boils down to practice.

I spend an average of $150 monthly on bullets (I really need to start loading my own to save money).

Your firearm is an extension of your arm and with practice you'll be able to use it effectively to drop an assailant.

I only responded because of your thinly veiled suggestions in your posting.

YES IT IS.......... but not to be attempted by just any half-baked, "trial and error" Engineer/Builder.

This requires engineering calculations (moments/forces/stress/strain/Materials elasticity/ e.t.c) from seasoned 'team' of Engineers from various areas of specialisation.
