The House of Representatives may soon pass a Bill for Act to permit Nigerians from the age of eighteen to carry arms for self-defence.

This contradicts President Muhammadu Buhari’s order to security services to shoot any civilian bearing arms.

A Bill to that effect, entitled: “Firearms Amendment Bill”, was exclusively obtained by VANGUARD at the weekend.

The Bill sponsored by Rep. Adejoro Adeogun, states in section 2 subsection 3, that “Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1), a person shall be entitled to the grant of a license or permit under this Act if, at the time of application, the person: at least eighteen years of age”. and “has a psychological evaluation certificate from a government hospital not more than six months, has a vision quality certificate from a government hospital not more than six months, has a police clearance certificate not more than twelve months, has a rifle club membership of at least six months and a firearms proficiency certificate issued by the club, and has a national identification number”.



The Bill also demands that the bearer “Has a National Identification Number (NIN) issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC)”, adding that “The Inspector General of Police, shall maintain a manual and an e-register of such permits in force”.

The Bill also states that “The Inspector General of Police, may, with the consent of the Governor of the State, grant a permit to any person to carry on the business of manufacture and repair of the firearms referred to in Part III of the Schedule to this Act”.


The bill seeks a jail sentence of at least 2 years for offences to the law.

“Section 35 (2) of the Principal Act, is amended by substituting for the words, one thousand naira or imprisonment for two years, the words seventy-five thousand or imprisonment of not less than 2 years”.

Only a fool will wait for senseless Reps before arming himself in this war zone of a country.


Arm yourself brethren, protect yourself and your family.

I don go get my own

Make them sha check people's mental health before them give anybody any Gun...

Their wish is to turn Nigeria to Afghanistan.

Perhaps their brain is just resetting now.A failed HOR NASS that choose to placate a failed president by pleading for forgiveness instead of awakening to do his constitutional responsibilities of providing security for lives and property.

This is long overdue. We all should be able to protect ourselves given the level of insecurity in Nigeria today. Already got mine.

Some of us get gun before....

We have so many wrong people at the helm of affairs.

If the security agents are doing their job effectively, why should Nigerians carry guns to start with

it's high time we did.

That is the case of may be, or may not. imposibility posican.

I don't want people to carry guns around, I want people to keep guns at home. As a security for any intruder or invasion of any kind.

I no want dey see people dey Waka with guns.

Don't try it
It will be CHAOS!!

If you are still waiting for the government to make a law that will allow Nigerians bear arms before you arm yourself then you are on your own.


Bro go get yourself a gun to protect you and your family.

If you eventually get yourself a gun and you use the gun to kill or harm innocent people or use it to rob or oppress people, may thunder strike you and Ogun finish you off.


Go get yourself a gun!
Go get yourself a gun!!
Go get yourself a gun!!!

The innocent person will also have a gun, legally too. So it won't be that possible.

I laugh at people who want Nigerians to posses fire arms,the problem with us is we forgot things easily in Nigeria,we should all remember what happened after the civil war when some soldiers refuse to return their guns and went into full scale robbery lmfao,now some people are crying out that Nigeria youth should arm themselves,a country that has very low employment opportunities and in recession.i can categorically tell U the youths will go into full time robbery and I bet U the aim off the whole bill will backfire.
