Martinola:
Dis would turn Nigeria completely upside down
It will never work

so it's downside up as it is?

Cromagnon:
everywhere will be developed cos no more cheating and stealing

An armed society is a polite one

An average Nigerian will head to his or her perceived enemy's house to kill the person. There are many deranged people out there. Many people will be living in perpetual fear. Even in developed countries, they still face the issue of mass shootings. No one knows who is a psychiatric patient.

pickatyouu:
This governors don mad.
Imagine what a leader is saying

that you should take responsibility for what govt has failed to do?
Do you sit and wait for govt to build house for you?
Do you wait for govt to give you water?
School nko
Car nko
Hospital nko
Yet you foolishly waiting for security?
OK o

Yankee101:
At least a handgun

do you see bandits with hand guns?

xynerise:
Any small quarrel for compound, Baba Tunde will bring gun shoot Baba Taye

and go to jail for murder? Why him no use machete now if na so e easy with witnesses?

Akaujaa:
Well, let me assume this is fake news. The statement can't possibly come from the chief security officer of Taraba state. Either he was quoted out of context or he never said such a thing. Even a mad man can't think of such as a solution to our security challenges.

what is the mad man solution then?
To be looking like a coward waiting for someone else to secure you and yours.
Wait till they make you fan them while raping your wife before your head come around

Mogul750:
Imagine me with ak47 taaaaaa! I go kill all my enemies

and I'm to jail for murder?

MemoriesAndMe:
Rambo governor...most Nigerians will first kill their landlords with their AK-47 so that they don't pay rent anymore. Followed by the greedy politicians. They will kill of of una finish.

they didn't do it with machete and acid or iron rod or car, why will they do it with gun

karkel:
That chairman lacks a good ideas

name one

coolcourses:
My yeye neighbor go hear ram

him go de look like mumu abi? Him no go return fire? Why you no use machete if you get the mind to kill pesin over irrelevant thing?

inverseparanoia:
The right to bear arms is slightly less ridiculous than the right to arm Bears...

yet the bad guys get it and rape you with it

samdunzo:
State police/ decentralization of the existing police force will solve these issues drastically. I suggest that the Position of IGP be removed and be replaced with regional commissioner, who will be appointed by the governors of the geopolitical zones to control the activities of the police

will you decentralized to ward level too when accusations of tribalism start at state and local level?

xynerise:


When you are in possession of a gun, there is this ogbanje spirit that always smile at you. At that point, you don't even care if the other person has a gun, you will only feel like living in the Wide Wide West

that spirit is very humble when it knows that the other person can return fire

xynerise:


When you are in possession of a gun, there is this ogbanje spirit that always smile at you. At that point, you don't even care if the other person has a gun, you will only feel like living in the Wide Wide West

do your Research
Many in the wild west were too cowardly like you to carry guns even as it was free

okunwaye:
Why do most people talk with the two side of their mouth.
It in this nairaland that people where saying legalization of arm is needed to curtail insecurities, but now this governor is saying the same thing and they are opposing him. teuh

Nigerians that don't know what they want and wonder why they keep electing charlatans?

TroubleMaker47:

AK47 is NOT a defense weapon. Hence the name "assault rifle"
You defend with a pistol and assault with a rifle. Know thos and know peace.

how do you defend when you're outgunned?

BrandBrainBox:
How many people can buy AK47 in the country?

how many people can buy cars?

stupidnairaland:
See their bush thinking?that is why we are suffering because we have bunch of clueless people as governors.he wants to turn the country into a war zone.

is the country Peace zone now? Think before you talk

evans4luv:
na there everybody go take finish salaa, everyone go begin look for him enemy to shoot at sight, hmmmm oga no go that side o make we dey manage our insecurity

and you think enemy go de look no return fire? You go just de kill enemy like Boko de kill ppl now? Think before you talk

Xammie001:
ITS ACTUALLY A NICE IDEA BUT HOW DO WE MANAGE NIGERIANS THAT ARE PROVOCATIVE BY NATURE
SOMEONE LIKE ONE MOD, YOU TALK ONE HE GO JUST CARRY HIM GUN KILL YOU

you kill him in self defense?

seunmsg:


And the solution to the problem is to allow everybody unrestricted access to AK47, right? Yeah, your thinking is superb!

does Boko bandit armed robber kidnapper and SARS have access or not?
How's that working out for ya?

guychidile:
Advantages dey,disadvantages dey too.

which wan pass?

coputa:
This statement coming from a sitting governor is disappointing.Nigerians cannot handle guns,given their cultural orientation of hate, jealousy, tribalism and nepotism.
The primary purpose will be defeated.

can they handle cutlass and cars?

WILLuKPquiet:
Every 5minutes for area, ta tata tatratatata.

10minutes of silence then again, ta tatrata ta ta.
Nna: "Wetin happen aboki?"
"They don kill that POS guy o, collect my money and I don run away. The POS I don die"

The pos guy no get him own gun to shoot?

Nna: "What about the other gun shots?"
Aboki: "Dat one? Na the petrol station for junction two boys I don come, I collect money, I run away"

Dem sef on get gun?

It's gonna be everyday stories of woes.

how many days of woes have we had since oyinbo Comot?

BigDawsNet:
AR-15 is okay

too expensive

arsenal444:
Nor be small tin oo. See suggestion, chailll. we nor get leaders again. this is the Oga kpatakpata of them all.

when you had leaders what was the difference no be slavery?

Cromagnon:
too expensive

With $700 you good to go

TroubleMaker47:
A pistol is more likely acceptable! Even an assaulter with an AK cab be neutralized with a pistol

Mr Rambo, what is the effective range of a pistol and a rifle? Think before you Talk

sureboykris:
Every talking Nonsense as if they can afford AK.

Responsible guys with funds can have access. Not just anybody. It's not like it's cheap.
We can keep living in fear and still don't want to defend ourselves.
I hate negativity.
Can't we see that the country is unable to secure us anymore

200 dollars is affordable

BlestHanneSSG:
Abeg, before dem implement such, they should allow some of us and our loves ones enough time to find another country relocate to.. We won't be part of that-shoot-me-I-shoot-you calamity of a nation!

We that are already grandmasters of doing things to an unimaginable extremes!

but you want to relocate to country's that are have shoot you are shoot me laws? I see your logic

lkillbrokehoes:
The people that will be killed will surpass that of America and cultist will thrive more than before, I think this is a very wrong advice

why will cultist thrive more
Don't they already have guns?
How will they thrive with their victims replying them on the spot?

Cromagnon:
you prefer only the bad guys have it to rape your wives at will abi

Just saw you're a coward

There are law made to apprehend the bad guys just that law does carry enough weight in this side of the world. So therefore, I am not a coward.
