Gee questions for u.

Do u reside in Lagos?
Do u work in Lagos?
Do u work on the island?
Do u take public transport to the office everyday?
How far is ur place of work to the office?
What is ur resumption time?

My questions above would know how to respond to ur safety tips.

Many of those things would not really work cos there re days u get to bus stop and u see large crowd u will not even rmba to check the color of the veh u re entering when u strt rushing to get a space in it cos u re raising against time to get to the office.
Let me just rest here

Well am now serving in lagos in a private capacity, been stationed mostly in Borno, abuja and adamawa axis an operatives.

From observation lagos does have many variables to consider when you assessing the environment.

So it's not a clear cut approach but over time we believe with better understanding and with experience brought into the folds these guys will be checked mate.

You're not being realistic. When a robbery incident begins with you as a victim and a gun pointed at you, are u saying you would tell the robber that u want to take a piss? You have somewhere u want to be and after boarding a vehicle heading in that direction, you cannot say if you have boarded a 'once chance' vehicle or not until they start operating. You mentioned earlier that when u plan to board a vehicle, u tell everyone to wait so u can inspect the booth... Seriously? Do u go to the office everyday and ply the 3rd mainland bridge? If yes, have u seen crowds at these bus stops? Seems these tips you're dishing out are excerpts from one foreign security book. Lol. The safest means starting from the highest safety in my opinion still remain :


Your Vehicle or that of a colleague
BRT
Yellow buses/Uber

Like I said no system in place is perfect.... Your intuition plays a major role when it comes to tensed situation.

I worked in the security field for 7 years across different parts of Nigeria.... It's your situational awareness that makes all the difference, if it feels wrong then there is something definitely wrong.

But like you rightly said go with herd if you don't have a private vehicle or have any friend to tag along with, then follow the verified buses.

Interesting

All these things you wrote about Navy boats, search party and others don't work.

Definitely, it was because of land tussle that he was kidnapped. He might be killed if he is unlucky.

In 1994, Vice Admiral Babatunde Elegbede an indigene of Lagos was assassinated on Gbagada / Oworonsoki expressway. Vice Admiral Elegbede is from Ajah.

Ilaje and Ijaw are the first suspects. The operation was similar to the Niger Delta militants operations. They are the ones using masks and speed boat for operations along the creek.

Am speaking from a command structure that deals with such events.

But you appear to have good knowledge of past events associated with similar environment. Yes land tussle is major avenue for violence, but let's hope the SOS mechanism set up will give him a chance of surviving.

He will be found, the only logical route and destination from that ajah is to ikorodu.

Taking into consideration that a SOS has been sent, a search party have been deployed within certain time frame of receiving that SOS.

Navy boats will be dispatched to sweep certain areas of the water way. If the abductors are professional they will beat the timing of the navy search party.

If they are not they will run into a trap wire.... Only concern will be the response of the rapid response unit at shores line that will act as potential exit for the kidnappers

Ok

Thank you for saying this. The hardship Buahri/APC has brought upon the land is so bad, a lot of folks now use their private vehicles for town service to supplement their income.

I have seen a woman using her Sienna to pick passengers along the road in VI on her way home, after work hours. Interestingly ,I saw the same woman on a different day picking up passengers in the morning on my way to work. Every now and then I see her in traffic or at bus-stops picking up passengers and I think to myself the hustle is real.

One Uber ride I took last week blew my mind to pieces, it was a very clean and neat Venza. So, fresh and clean I was even afraid to enter I looked at the car description on my app, to make sure the plate number matched the vehicle in front of me and it did. In the course of my trip the driver and I started gisting due to a radio programme we were listening to. Then I found out he had lost his job with Chevron and was using his vehicle for Uber to hold things down.

The people saying he should have known better than to enter a private car are so naive and clueless about the realities on ground now. That robbery incident was well planned, such that, even if you claim to be street smart and an alaye, they would have still scammed you. Planting part of the crew in the crowd of passengers awaiting a ride to work, would never have alerted anyone to the danger lurking round the corner nah!

I dey taya for people ITK on these streets, I swear !

The plan is never perfect because they run the risk of having other passengers outsmart or outmaneuver them to enter.

This is the opening you would use in getting out... If you gonna go past dozens of passengers and pick up pockets of guys along the same way then you should open your eyes.

If in an event your sense something and jump out they won't wanna risk blowing their cover because the process of getting another route and vehicle for their operations will significantly.

Passengers should learn the act of disrupting potential criminal operations by acting irrationally.... Like jumping out to say abge I wan piss, I wan piss... Or my belly dy pain me oo... It's a tradecraft that can save you.

There is a lot of intrigues, West don't want the company to function but Russia wants it functional at all cost,that's the politics.

Baba forget the conspiracy theory.

I worked in the NSA for years and we looked into certain issue in other to establish a security angle.

The west had nothing to do with it because most of their trade delegates where interested in other areas.

France is the main western nation with gulp amount of interest in africa which is evident with the francophone nations.

And those francophone nations have higher amount of solid minerals than Nigeria and they also have a functioning steel plants that serves them.

South africa always serves a bulk of western economic interest and is stable politically and economically than Nigeria.

Congo is another nation still serving the western interest due to their former colonial connection to belgium.

This particular plant passed through the hands of indians and chinese 80% of it operational and none operational life.

And these two nations dance to the tune of our politicians more than the west and Russia. So it will be natural as a politician to go for those who dance to their tone.

Security awareness

This is an old age tactics used by this criminals. They are now evolving by in cooperating a different look.

What people must understand is that you can never tell who's who... So taking an all out precaution is some what impossible.

What you can within your own capacity is always look to sit close to the windows be it at the back, middle and front.

Insist on having the windows down for your own convience, this act will throw the plans of the criminals into some sought of disarray because it's a new development.

If you are entering a private vehicle physically carry out inspection on the booth of the car, and doors and windows... Other passengers might be acting impatient but they will support silently with this act.

Situations requires some sought of evolution as the environment demands. Most of these car snatchers or car robbers operates by boxing the victim in the middle.

Also you study the rate at which vehicles are heading towards a destination... Therefore passengers have a limited time period they can stand.

So if you realize a passenger is standing beyond a standard time frame, walk away towards another bus stop that's outside his line of sight. Reason for this is to put him off from keep surveillance on you.

My years in the security field have made me realize majority of day to day people doesn't have any form of situation awareness. They live life the way it comes, which is not bad

But what they should realize is that Nigeria is in a bad state of security.... Just staring or looking apprehensive alone will put off the one Chance guys.

One Chance guys target those who are seriously absent minded...

Crazy my man. Now I'll focus mostly on Bayesian probability that has given me 7/7 home double chance streak and I'll swear by it.
When you figure out man is a slave to tradition and patterns, using stats to read the pre match won't be a burden at all, though 20% of the time you can fail, but 80% you'll be in winnings.

This bayesian theory works but I don't know how to implement it.

I have seen some java template used in calculation of actual probability problems but didn't know how to use it for soccer statistics calculation.

Ok

Late

israelp:
d guy go use stats finish

Of late sha I have been following his stats especially for cards and it has yielded a very good return.

Me I don't know how to read them corners and cards and fouls on stats level.. Thus the reason why them 1x and others isn't attractive to me.

Timoleon:
BMC crew. Come and demonize these ones too. Despite all that Buhari is doing for this country. Despite the fact that APC has made Nigeria an annex of Heaven. These ones have the effrontery to leave Nigeria for a UK. Ordinary Uk O. They left Nigeria for Ordinary UK.


BMC crew please come o!

Too much sense nu go kee una for this niaja

Obynolee:
Russia has never been unwilling to make ajeokuta work, they left the company 95% completed, even after they were forced to leave, they kept sending reminder that they're ever ready to come back but Nigeria always unwilling

You are absolutely correct why they would take a plant solidly built by russia and give them Chinese to manage is madness.

The russians would have done a better job in completing the plant and handing it successfully to FG

Was it the FG that drove the russians away to favor the Chinese.

A plant the russians developed in the first place.. they were just rotating it amongst everyone coming to drain the country.

The russians would have put this steel plant into a working state years ago.

Na now their eye dy clear

israelp:
stats nr go kee u my man

Na for betbuilder hand I see statistics working.

It's really crazy

Magnoliaa:
Thank you for the last sentence, especially. What this lady said and your advice is actually an indictment to you men yourselves. You people can form bro codes, and band together to insult women, and call women their own worst enemies, and sleep on a dirty bed, sharing boxers together and bla bla bla (that women typically do not do) and because of that declare that you love each other, because you're all supposedly banging a single girl, but your so-called affinity is only skin deep. You DON'T feel a single thing for each other. And this is not even because you don't have the money. A broke boy can still, any how, whichever way find money to give to his girlfriend, but to give his broke guy friend?

Instead of speaking to yourselves to change your attitudes, you'll rather hate on the girls ''whyning'' your friends' brains. At least a broke partying babe that is being bankrolled will still take the gifts and monies she get from men to share with her friends. The genuine sharing spirit is there.

That men are broke in huge numbers and women are cashing out (typically) only points more to the fact that men do not help one another rather than the manipulation of women y'all cry wolf about.

You are not totally right because It depends on your circle of friends.

My inner circle of friends are working class and business minded people. With these guys we lend helping hands to each other in serious amount of monies.

Because there is a blind trust we have developed amongst ourselves over years.

Then there are the other circles hustling but not focused like that, at any slight opportunity they wanna have comfort at expenses of creating sustainability.

We have helped friends from these circle and a single dime wasn't paid back or actual progess haven't materialize in their lives.

Then there are the random ones you bump into on events or random places, their views on life is good and future ambition is strong.. these ones you connect them with people you have crated credibility with and they open the door of opportunity.

Its mostly guys that are not elightend that will see a fellow bro struggling and would put his interest first over helping that struggling friend. This is regardless of the fact that they do things together and all... With guys like this they are still in their primal state mind, purely survival mode.

It's why you would see friend sleeping with girl of best friend.... Friend killing friend.... Friend betraying friend.

When I interact I watch out for clues that give off this primal mindset, this helps to decide if we gonna end it there, or be a what's up what's up friend... Or guy make we go bar to go chill.

Good one Russia

It's about time

I love this they need money to do other things. Congratulations

When we go do our own?

Haha

Sad

udede:
When China sneezes a lot of people catch cold. Soon we will know who the real world power is

Ignorance is really a bliss.

Them Chinese is all about control they wanna control your life even up the boxers you wear.

This is no news, the reason why it's have some impact is because of cheap electricity china have for minners.

Therefore there are millions of heavy computing system... Once the minners finish transferring their minning operations from china to Japan, vietnam and california... China will be very insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

China wanna to float their own but they don't know in life you build credibility over time. You can't just jump or take short cut every time.

This is what china is all about taking short cut
