How Much Do You Spend On Security Per Year? by royalamour(op):
I pay vigilantes fee @500 NGN per month. Still I don't know how to survive until I am able to save enough to rent elsewhere.

It's been 85 hours since I've had at most an hour sleep.

Armed robbers have been terrorising my area since Tuesday last week I think.
During these times, we called on the police whose station was more than a kilometer away from us, they gave an excuse that they had flat tire.

The robbers shot at two security guards, one died on the spot and the other miraculously lived as both were shot in the chest.

The stupid house agent hide the robbery history away from me. He told me that for the past two years, not even a burglary case was reported or encountered in the area. Alas! The bas+@rd lied and ended up endangering my life.

My question is, why are there no police posts in all nooks and crannies of Nigeria?

Why are there no police posts in every ward in all LGAs of Nigeria?

Why are the politicians sleeping safely at night when ordinary people keep vigil?

Right now I can't sleep. To make matters worse, it's been raining since yesterday evening.

My temperature is high and my head is aching.

Politicians why?

I just realized that more than 80% of Nigerians rely on local vigilantes to keep watch at night which is almost not even safe as these people usually don't have guns and all.

What is even the essence of existing as a Nigerian?

If I have my way, I won't think twice. I won't mind earning less than #70,000 in a safe place I would have peaceful night rest.

To think that these demonic politicians and their families sleep in heavily guarded environments make it even painful.

Why can't we have safe heavens? And they even shamelessly want our votes. Imagine that.

SARS know the real armed robbers and they don't disturb each other---they are colleagues. They only flex their muscles when they see innocent people who they can obtain some money from. Not in support of the end SARS campaign, but I support a general overhaul, serious reorientation and a clear and definitive job description! As it is, they are useless until they are restructured.
