All in all, always protect your wallet, even if you dont use it often, for the fact you have created it and probably use it in transactions, it is always best practice to immediately save guard the wallet. First write down the seed phrase in somewhere safe, I usually prefer both on paper and then still save it digit, just incase., forgetting seed phrase is one of the reason alot of persons have lost money in crypto and it is very painful when you can't remember your access to your own money, so always save your seed phrase.

Securing your wallet is one of the most important responsibilities in crypto. A wallet can always be recovered if you have your seed phrase, but if you lose that seed phrase, recovering your funds may become impossible. That's why it's advisable to store it in multiple secure locations, such as a written copy kept safely offline and a properly secured backup. However, avoid sharing your seed phrase with anyone or storing it where unauthorized people can access it. Good security habits today can save you from painful losses in the future.

Storing the seed phrase on a paper is the major thing to do, anything that lets you save your details in the internet is a total risk to be avoided for your safety. Even when storing keys on paper, not just any type of paper and not keeping in any environment also.

When you write in a paper, store it among other of your certifications, where you keep your other essential credentials for your safety.
Traditionally, our fore parents do store important documents for decades, how is it different from doing the same to our seed phrase, I do disregard when people make storing seed phrase as something very complex, under a simple step we can protect our seed phrase for years without losing them.

Whether engraved or written down on paper, it's in our hands to protect the backup from tampering.

I completely agree with you, that most of generation today are not good in keeping good record and taking care of vital things which leads to misplaced and loss of things. We don't need to lose, as you clearly stated I recall some pictures and documents I saw in my grandfather house, they paper of 1978 church contribution and others activities kept in a wooden cupboard after his death while we are doing clean up and termite didn't destroyed it, we have many devices today that nothing can easily damage even in the next 50 years things like some plastic, using traditional method is not bad is as safe as anything just been deligence smart and keeping the documents properly in safe mode.

You mentioned the steps every nigerian should take to secure their Bitcoin wallet, in fact these days, every crypto enthusiast should learn about wallet security because we see that many people lose access to their wallets due to various carelessness. To be honest I noticed a news story a few days ago that in 2013 a person downloaded Bitcoin Core and he encrypted his wallet with a passphrase and even continued to invest regularly through DCA since then but that person lost access to the 16.5 BTC in his wallet, meaning he lost the passphrase for that last wallet. However he was later able to access his wallet after many attempts. Therefore, we need to understand that we need to safely hold the Bitcoin or crypto assets we have acquired from investing with our hard-earned money, as a result to keep our wallet safe, we need to store the seed phrase correctly, use strong passwords, and use 2FA, perhaps using these methods will help any crypto investor secure their assets.

Di person fit still add a passphrase to di seedphrase for maximum security and store both of them in separate locations. Even if anoda person come across di seedphrase, him no go fit spend di coin. Him go need both di seedphrase and passphrase to be able to access and spend di coin.

In Addition, you’re the first security of your wallet! Secure yourself first and foremost before you consider the wallet, most times it’s our vulnerability that leads to the vulnerability of our assets l, once you no fit hold yourself from some conversation you fit leak the security of your wallet with your conscious mind, so be mindful and then use air gapped device, and also it’s good we remember that security measures that are considered best today and be vulnerable tomorrow, so always update.
I agree with you when you say that you are the first security of your wallet, because someone who has not secured himself and is vulnerable doesn't have the capacity to protect his wallet. And how you can actually protect yourself is through information and knowledge which will better equip and protect you from becoming vulnerable.

Right, you understand it better! One most protect themselves before the wallet if you die too every thing will be over so you must protect yourself and your whole existence before you extend it to your asset.

Like you said information is what protects more. Additionally most of the time people try to speak more than they should leaving themselves vulnerable in some cases this very important you don’t speak you’re not supposed to. There is more but this is just I can say for now.
