Despite the security situation in the country, this is not a good idea.

They knew if ordinary Nigerian shud bear firearms then it's Doomsday for the government whether APC or PDP

So is he saying that communities are still waiting for a green light from FG to defend themselves?

I wish them luck as they keep waiting for the same government that is in bed with marauders.

Or you could, maybe, make youth service into a proper military service where people are trained to fight and defend themselves rather than buy rice for government workers in the name of serving the country.

Dead bodies on the streets. I dont think so. People will only respond when they are attacked by bandits

Dead bodies on the street will be the least. Guns in the hands of everyone!! It has its good sides and bad sides. There are maniacs on there and of course men in the underworld.

That's exactly what will happen. In South Africa, when taxi drivers are fighting over routes, they start shooting each other. In the US kids take their parent's pistols to school. That's what you'll start seeing here. If you're driving and you splash water on someone, shots could be fired at you. Better keep gun out of civilian hands and find ways to tackle insecurity.

Os this man mad or what?, You can imagine a lagos tout holding arms. abi agbero no be nigerian too

nairavsdollars:
I fully support this. Let each community defend themselves. Even in Abuja, when you complain to police now, they don't respond on time

you dont know....its not only in nigeria....

in western nations,police job is to protokol stuff....they only move when they get direct orders from their courts....

Not possible Nigerians abuse every opportunity. We will only end up destroying ourselves and this country.

We not have strong systems, security monitoring systems in place like US or Europe to allow such.

It’s better to form vigilantes or even local/state police.

Well said

Good idea

It means criminals will go by Achimedelles principle of floatation

Armed and weapon management could still be handled and control at community level, many of our communities have organised association.

Lol... i understand ur fears but every goat can't just possess fire arms na. There would be tests done (physical and mental) validations for the registration process. Although from ur point of view it can be hazardous. It wouldn't be easy at first but we go adjust and it will help curb those cowards Fulani who love to kill unarmed men,women and kids

When you would expect those zomboids to at least come out now and make statements in support of their senior colleague (Sagay); you won't see them! Idiots,.......people whose destinies has been sold for a paltry monthly stipends so as to defend the undefendable!

It's shocking the type of criminally reckless, and outrightly dumb suggestion this so called Professor and Presidential adviser can have in his mind. Little wonder we are in this mess today when we have such people as leaders.

Citizens should carry guns for what? A country that cannot account for it's citizens and population even for the simplest of things like National ID card, phone registration, etc he is asking to arm citizens.
A country that in 2020 has shamelessly failed to eliminate the "ghost worker" phenomenon, a country that there is no security intelligence sharing and coordination within the police force, and across to other security agencies. We will just see humans dropping like flies daily across the nation.
Our country is not fit to go that direction just yet.
This Prof is just a joker.

God bless you. With what we experienced during ENDSARS, it is clearly clear that most Nigerians are mentally sick. Give them gun, then expect mayhem in the society

Who told you the FG are interested in Nigerians safety?

They are basically waging an ethnoreligious war by proxy through so called 'bandits' and 'herdsmen'

dynicks:
Nigerians that over react at any slight provocation......aswear the country go scatter!!...
..our level of resistance and tolerance from this part of the globe is way below par!!

With the level of hardship currently being experienced in the country right now, imagine guns in the hands of psychopaths or peeps with the intents to commit suicide; ofcourse most wouldn't wanna go down alone...

Imagine scenarios like ..you bashed my car!! Do you know who I am!?...Tah Tah!! Person don kill person....

Guy how dare you!...u went behind my back and snitched on me!..ND not just that, u had the nerve to bed my girl!?...Tah Tah! Person don kill person..

Guy bashes into his house and finds his wife in bed with another guy....Tah Tah!! Person don kill person....

At the ATM...Guy I was here before you; u dey mad!?...I didn't see anyone here when I came...na me u dey;...u dey craze ni...Tah Tah! Person don kill person...

Thief thief!! Catch that guy!...he stole 5 cubes of maggi and one tin tomato...Tah Tah!! Person don kill person....

Na for inside club the matter go worse sef especially when wire boys go wan challenge themselves....waiter turn of the light;...waiter leave the light on...how dare u challenge me!?...do u know who I am?..Tah Tah person don port go the other side...

Ladies matter go sky rocket as per the level of jealousy amongst themselves eh!....

Just imagine what played out at ghana between davido and BURNA boy!...pride no go just let person reason well....unlease guns into the hands of people and watch the country go on self destruct!.....imagine guns in the hands of SIMPS or peeps that are too EMOTIONAL....

Make I stop to dey imagine Sha and be of hope that things wouldn't turn for the worst!

Exactly my thoughts, Government should rather empower vigilante groups by providing arms security vests to enable them confront crimes within their localities...

Insecurity: Allow Nigerians Bear Arms To Defend Themselves, Sagay Advises FG



https://www.independent.ng/insecurity-allow-nigerians-bear-arms-to-defend-themselves-sagay-advises-fg/

am a security man but this is the best option.

Racoon:

Does Sagay fully knows the implication of this statement? Thought the APC said Nigeria is not a failed state? So why is a whole prof.Sagay suggesting self arms defense when there are battery of security agencies?

This is still affirming that Buhari have failed in providing security for lives & property.Meaning even the loud & foul mouthed constitutional law expert have seen that Nigerians have been right in calling out the failures of the moribund government.

Let's hear what Lai Mohammed, Femi Adeshina, Garba Shehu, Bashir Ahmed, Lauretta Onochie, Arewa youth ACF, NEF, BMO, MURIC, etc will call Sagay for allegedly exposing another truth about the failure of the present government.

Meanwhile where are the mummified BMC zombies of this forum? Sagay said Bubu should allow all Nigerians carry arms for self defense & protection because the Fulani & BH infested security agencies have failed to secure lives.Last, last all man go get sense by force.

is USA a failed state? If we can all legally carry weapons everybody will maintain

They really should.

1) Guns are not cheap nor are bullets.

2) The bad guys already have theirs.

As at this moment, "cowards Fulani" could be your main concern, later you will notice your neighbors, friends and even your spouse will be your greatest threat once everyone has access to gun.
Be careful of what you wish for.
