The high increase of insecurities in Nigeria, how do we combat this?

[Obari]

Nigeria which is regarded as the giant of Africa, has gradually lost it's values and honours as insecurity has been thriving and creeping into the country.
I read the newspapers and online news captions daily and there isn't a day without a case of insecurity making headlines from kidnapping to bombing to rapes and even cultism and I feel these are major threats to a country's development.
~Do you think the government is doing enough to combact insecurity in the country?
~what will you suggest as the way forward to combating insecurity in the country?

[HajiBagi]

My suggestion for combating insecurity in this our country be say government should increase employment by employing young citizens into arm forces and also employ this our local force like vigilantes and people tlwet dy willingly to join this force and also provide good arms for the forces, this way we wouldn't hear much of this bandit again.

See as your OP dey decent but the title no be am, When writing a thread, the title matters alot, see as I almost missed this discussion because the title no interest me at all. Make your title interesting so people pick interest in the discussion. If na me write this thread I for write "The high increase of insecurities in Nigeria, how do we combat this?. This kind title go already attack people into interacting with the thread to give their suggestions on how to stop the high rate of insecurities or give opinion on wetin the government for do to fight insecurities for the country.

Do you think the government is doing enough to combact insecurity in the country?

Back on topic, personally I think say the government no dey do enough to help the matter, seriously ehh to reduce insecurities for the country no hard but the law enforcement officers just need to do their job well and be well equipped but that's not the case and that's because this jobs are poorly funded. How police go dey use rubbish guns to go dey fight criminals wey dey with machines. The officer aren't well trained as well which is what is leading to the misused of power by the officers (attacking innocent citizens instead of tackling those they were employed to tackle).

~what will you suggest as the way forward to combating insecurity in the country?

To get the answer to this, you gaz first ask wetin dey cause the insecurity in the first place and that's poverty and lack of education (enlightenment). If we fit tackle this things from the root there by cresting lots of job opportunities to the citizens you go see say crime go reduced for street and next we get educated our youth because many of us dey poorly enlightened. Wetin we think say good no be so.

I gats quote your entire message and post because you dey try I no go lie and I don sharperly rearrange my topic come follow the one you talk because e really sweet me but my topics dey always try not to ask questions but thanks boss

And regarding wetin government fit do, me personally agree with you say na illiteracy and unemployment they cause all this insecurity and if government go fit attend to this two, the we dey one step closer to reducing insecurity in the country.

[Hyphen(-)]

And regarding wetin government fit do, me personally agree with you say na illiteracy and unemployment they cause all this insecurity and if government go fit attend to this two, the we dey one step closer to reducing insecurity in the country.

Unemployment, Illiteracy, and Tribalism are the cause of all the insecurity wey we de face for dis county.

I listen to one speech wey former president Goodluck Jonathan did when Peter Obi wey be d presidential candidate of the Labor Party visit am during this Christmas, him talk say na unity be the number one solution to anything wey de worry dis country, once we fit unite our self all these issues of Insecurity, Unemployment, and others go surely stop and I believe am.

[Coyster]

Insecurity na better wahala for our country today, most people just they lowkey, because if you too show yourself them fit kidnap you sharperly. I know men wey bin wan buy car this year, but they comot the idea from their mind so them no go kidnap them, see wahala na, person get money, but e no fit spend am because e they fear, e no make sense na.

Having said that, of course as matter they like this, na normal thing say we go blame our government and security agencies because na them they in charge of protecting lives and properties in Nigeria. The thing be say Naija government no they prioritise the life and wellbeing of their citizens, those at the top they chop money wey them suppose use improve the security system, whilst the security officers they look for their own pocket through bribes or chasing after irrelevancies. In one word: corruption is the root cause of all our problems.

[gabbie2010]

The best way to tackle the menace of insecurity in Nigeria is by restructuring the country into six regions as being practice in the sixties, each region taking care of their security architecture with this setup, we will have a state police apart from Regional police including the Army, Navy and Air force, for example in South West here they have Amotekun complementing the work of Police.
Unemployed youths will be recruited in their locality as local Police because they knew all the the terrains and hideouts of criminals.
   Unfortunately with this present security system in the country that is not Decentralized we won't get out of this shit, a situation where a commissioner of Police will have to take order from the IG before deployment of troops or officers to tackle an urgent security breach.

[Rruchi man]

Nigeria which is regarded as the giant of Africa, has gradually lost it's values and honors as insecurity has been thriving and creeping into the country.

A major reason for the increased rate of insecurity is also because of the increasing difficulties in living conditions and rising inflations. People are tending more to crime because the hardship they are going through is becoming unbearable plus things are not looking like they will become better for them.

~Do you think the government is doing enough to combat insecurity in the country?

If the government is doing enough, things will be as they are now. Even the security personnel's in this country are not been properly taken care off.

~what will you suggest as the way forward to combating insecurity in the country?

Improve the standard of living, so that more persons can enough not to consider crime.

Improve welfare treatment for security personnel's so they feel more motivated to work and perform their duties better.

[Frankolala]

When the government fails to take care of the citizens, the citizens will go wild and not obey government laws. Naija problem of insecurity na corruption, if no corruption everything go dey move well,job go dey,politicians no go thief money come dey deceive us, and the jobs dem no go hide am cari give their children. Nepotism make Nigeria no fit go forward which be the major factor of corruption.

Nigeria no go fit tackle insecurity again o,make we no deceive ourselves, water don pass gari,because the all system of government dey so eaten by corruption wey be say them no go free let good man wey no dey like dem rule because them no say e go bring out their leg and maybe jail them or them no go fit benefit again from the national cake,but God pass them.

With the way wey things dey go for Niaja,I no see hope from any where so the only way to tackle insecurity na make Nigeria divide so that people fit start again do new government system and by then we go know whether the two different countries no go do well. The fucking truth is that Nigeria is too big for one man to control since the whole system is messed up from 1960 till date.

My broda we all understand the dip shit wey nigeria dey when its come this insecurity mata but dat one no ever mean say we no go fit tackle am again. My one reason to this insecurity mata na like you have already stated say na corruption and na the whole truth be that because is core chain to so many issues wey dey happen for this country.

Unemployment is another branch of this insecurity mata and this also caused by the corruptive mind of our leaders wey don refuse to spread the rate of employment around this our country and this has lead many people especially the youths to go into different illegal things and business as a means of survival.

Person wey no get work or the system dey condition  am go also strive for a way to survive na and in so doing actually condition himself to commit crimes such arm robbery or kidnapping to get money for his survival so nigerian leaders na the real cause of the insecurities in the country.

But brother i still we can grow out of this situation and become better its only a matter of time because with time all her deep wounds will eventually heal up with the right medicine.

Security in our dear county shouldn't be limited the the federal government alone, or state government or even local government security in our dear country should be extended to the ordinary citizens, we need not carry guns to make our country secured but useful informations to the appropriate quarters will go a long way, we too we start by being law abiding citizen and allow the security operatives to do Der work without the Inference of anyone. This country is ours ,and its our responsibility always to keep it safe.

[SmartCharpa]

Na lack of insecurity dey make things happen in this country most especially for my side north here you go just see dem don kidnapped people inside car wey dey traveled,after kidnapping dem dey will still demand for money after paying them the amount they ask dem to bring they will still kill them both the person that carry money go give them, las las na vigilante dey help us with them and the government refuse to see their hard working to the country.

[KupaCrypto]

Combating the problem of insecurity is not something we wil leave for the government to take responsibility alone. We ourselves have to contribute to our safety at the security of our country,.
The government through the police, the armed forces and other security  agencies have a responsibility of securing the state and the federation.
The security agencies can not be everywhere at once so it's now left for us the citizens to be watchful and report any suspicious movement to the appropriate security agencies and give them accurate information so they can carry their work effectively.

[sokani]

The security challenges for we country na serious issue ooo. No one is save again. Kidnapping, arm roberry, assassinations are on the rise. Even persons that are saddled with the responsibilities of security are being kidnapped or killed. Last 2 weeks an army lieutenant was kidnaped during the festive period at her home town in Imo state, yesterday an army lieutenant colonel was kidnaped enroute to Zamfara. This morning it's Edo train attack. No one and no part of the country is save. Our government has failed us. I don't see any miracle happening anytime soon but we can bring the activities of these evil agents to minimal by carrying out a major reform in the security sector, making sure the security operatives are well armed and equipped, better payment package for personels, periodical trainings etc.

[Dzwaafu11]

One of the biggest problem we face in naija now na insecurity Mata as e be na now like these now said wey get insecurity pass like my side which is north person go they him room or house like these people go come from now where kidnapped him some they even kidnapped the whole family.
My be say to combat these na for these country wey they like these is to be wise and choose good people for leader as the election they corner everybody go they form better person, make we they wise and vote for good person

[SOKO-DEKE]

Our country has been severely affected by corruption, which is why any government that comes to power always finds it difficult to address the issue of insecurity. This is because many heartless people are frequently sponsored by those in power to intimidate their other opponents just to continue get their selfishness, and there is also a lack of government effort to meet the basic needs of is citizens, such as lack of creating job opportunities  in the nation and simplifying the educational process for citizens. Most of the people involved in the book-haram controversy today are uneducated and have been brainwashed by their religious authorities. In my opinion, our country's security issues can only be solved by the military power which I think it will hard for military to get chance to rule again.

[martyns]

The issue of insecurity no dey my mouth again,because no be only our country  dey suffer from insecurity problem,most countries also have thesame issue.But the way we do our own is very bad because it seems some of our leaders support those group of people that distort the peace of the country.
We no trust each other again because of the things we don see,where you go see somebody you call your brother have the mind to plan evil against you and kill you if care is not taking.Boko Haram dey worry from their own angle,unknown gun-men  dey also disturb us from their own end too.Na only God go protect us for the country.

~Do you think the government is doing enough to combact insecurity in the country?

People fail to understand that security is not only the government business. Security concerns each and every single individual in a country. Security is everyone's business. If you fail to take note of possible security threat and fail to report to the nearest security agency close to you then you are bound to face security risks. We should not wait for the security forces or government to do investigation before they swing into actions we should do well to report so as to be on the safe side. Atleast doing this would help mitigate potential risk involved and also, Keep security agency on the watch and alert at any time to swift actions.

~what will you suggest as the way forward to combating insecurity in the country?

There is a saying that says " an idle mind is the devil's workshop" I remember a one time minister of the federation saying that "human capacity development is the answer to curb insecurity and restiveness in the society". Going by that,  one would say that employment and empowerment could aid in curbing security issues in the society. This is so because when the people are gainfully employed  in legal activities which fetches them reasonable amount of money through salaries, income etc, they would not be bothered causing problems in the society.  
My conclusion is that the government should look into human capacity development which will help individuals in the society and keeping them busy with a means of getting income, their energy and intellect would be meaningfully used for good productivity

Do I think the government is doing its best to combat the insecurity in the country?
Yes I think they are doing their best. However I feel with that the security apparatus of the country is already overwhelmed. First there is already a low level of confidence by the public on the security agencies. Second the security apparatus of the nation is greatly under armed. Third we have to do deal with those sympathizers or those who have hijacked the insecurity the country is facing for business gains.

The solution to this is that everyone should be his own security. Arm yourself and your family. Take proper security measures and be security conscious at all times.

[Asiska02]

The level of insecurity in the country is so high that the government's efforts to combat it are underappreciated. Nigeria is a large country, and bringing its people together in peace and unity is not an easy task. We have numerous languages, cultures, and beliefs that do and react differently to things. I believe this is one of the reasons the Nigerian government is finding it difficult to deal with insecurity, but they are doing their best and I applaud their efforts. I hope they are successful in addressing insecurity in the country soon.
