It is a no brainer to even think of that as a good idea to curb the menace of unprecedented insecurity in the country, eg. kidnapping, unprovoked attacks and killings, banditry and terrorism that's bedeviled the country for over a decade.

Ado Doguwa a member of the house of representatives has this as a plan to stop insecurity. But I think the multiplier effects of doing so will be so enormous and overwhelming.

That action can automatically throw the country into a sudden civil war, and guess who the targets will be.... THE LEADERS THEMSELVES and that's because we are where we are because leaders in Nigeria have failed to do the right thing.

What do you think will happen if an angry and hungry man is being allowed to have access to guns? Well ur guess is as good as mine.

It will mean more jobs for witch doctors, who will get more customers to do "Odeshi" otherwise known as traditional bullet-proof.

People will shoot to kill at the slightest and most ridiculous provocation.

There will be aggrieved persons trying to purge, themselves of pain through retaliation, just to settle old scores.

A good percentage of people in the country has fallen into an unimaginable pit of depression and a lot of them are already suicidal.

Psychological disorder and bad mental health is also an issue... people are trying to manage mid-life crisis, and then u let such person handle a gun? hehehe

More organ harvesters. More kidnapping, more terrorism, more banditry. Excessive and untold lawlessness. Rights will be violated !!!

There will be more brutal domestic violence.

The police and military will quit their jobs.


The list is endless.... if everyone has access to weapons to defend themselves then it will be accurate to say that its is finished.

But on a second thought.... if people are allowed to defend themselves and only if they can afford to buy the weapons for themselves then it leaves the rich and middle class enough impetus to send the country to abyss.

1 fairly used AK47 is more than a million naira

In the US virtually every household has a gun... even during the great depression they had guns

Problem with Nigeria is lack of records and tracking systems

FalseProphet1:
As a prophet, I see myself having sleepless nights because of the magnitude of customers I'll be having per day.

This I have seen.

False prophet

Too many irrational/insane people in this country, giving them guns will be disastrous.

MoneyGoDrop:
Now that Nigerians don't have gun,are people not dying on daily basis from gun inflicted injuries.

No mind d mumu!
If everyone knows that the next person is most likely carrying a gun, you will think twice B4 commiting any crime because you might not survive it. So everybody go just maintain.

No brainer?

Nazgul:
I agree with the op.

Nigerians are psychologically damaged to handle guns, the country would be far worse than it is currently.

What we need is good leaders and we can only achieve that by voting in the right people.

Exactly and Guns should not be easily accessible to the citizens.

America is a good example of this the gun violence problem is a menace

Majority of Nigerians don't have the nerves to carry guns with control and discipline.

Nope, when everybody is MAD, deterrence comes to play.

MAD-Mutual Assured Destruction

American gun violence will be little compared to what Nigeria would become. A Nigeria without EMTs and a 911 hotline, dysfunctional police officers, and brothers who want to take over their brothers properties, angry jilted men, tribalists with so much hate. People will love to oppress others and make yet others needless victims. It will be perilous.

Nigerians don't deserve to have weapons in their hands. Without them, look at the scale of destruction.

I swear comrade, your mind dey game.

regardless of your points, everyone carrying a gun will still tbe the best way to checkmate this insecurity that is consuming the nation.....atleast, you will think twice before you ever think of harassing me or trespassing on my estate.. yes i agree things might be rough inthe beginning but we will pass the adoption phase in no time and area will be cool and calm soonest. and there will be maximum mutual respects,.

Make all of us GUN UP jareh

What are the statistics? How many Americans have died due to gun violence compared to Nigerians? Go and check and you'll be surprised that even half of all the gun-related deaths in the USA is suicide.

you are still in a fools paradise thinking that a good leader would solve nigeria's problems. except that good leader adjusts our constitution and restructure and or breakup the country (which they never will), we would go in the same circle for decades. Shebi na this same matter Ojukwu dey talk about/proffer solution to in the 60s before civil war and we are still talking of the same thing today without doing anything about it.

yeye.

1 fairly used AK47 is more than a million naira

for years, i also subscribed to this thinking. part of me still does because i know nigerians are on the whole irresponsible and love oppressing others

but this is the fact. we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder and the police, army local govt etc are all complicit

i live in lagos. there has been a steady influx of impoverished northerners in very large numbers.

the okadas are everywhere. they answer to no one.

i hear them driving around at 1am, 2 am.

if/when they eventually make a move, we will al be sitting ducks
the same thing happened during end sars when it came close to boiling over to house to house raids
same thing during the lockdown

even without abokis, there are enough poor communities around housing estates. you can just see it in their eyes - they are waiting for that breakdown of law and order

if you doubt this, ask the owners of shops and resturants in shoprite

the police will do nothing. you have to give them fuel/money for parol.

they are simply mercenaries who hiore out for debt collection and harrassment.

so everyone in naija is oyo

as we have our own gen, water etc - we better just get our own security. unless you want to find yourself watching some riffraff thugs loot and destroy your home then debate on whether to rape your wife and daughters

You are dumb!

How will you permit Nigerians to carry guns when we don't have a working legal system.

Our law enforcement agencies are in shambles

People easily commit murder and go free

No standard forensic system by the government

No fingerprint validation system

No standard psychology evaluation system

For the last line above, mad people go carry gun tire for this country

If people are allowed to carry guns, some of the things you mentioned there like "more organ harvesters, more kidnapping..." won't be happening because more people can defend themselves, less banditry because people who will travel will naturally unite themselves to fight off any threats till they get to their destinations.

I don't care Nigerians should not have access to guns.
The fact that some idiot can take a gun to a school and kill people is enough reason why guns should not proliferate in society who knows what would happen if that was the case in Nigeria.

Civilians should not have access to guns if you want to go by stats America is more populated than Nigeria if you even want to compre the living standard and all an average Nigerian should not have a gun.

It will be the beginning of another civil war.

Talk to someone anyhow n he or she will blast ur head open.

Break someone's heart n u are dead

Infact there will be chaos we have not reached that level.

You will blast somebody's head when you have a gun and you think the person and the people around him Won't do anything?
When you want to attack someone with a sort of power you have to think twice yourself.

If gun is legalized, you greet my girlfriend too much, you go collect.

Tell dem ooo.

They don't know that is when people will be using guns to settle personal vendetta's against people and they will get away with the crime because nothing ever works well in Nigeria and police may never trace them.
They can easily plead self-defence if evidence is not strong enough to hold them one thing Nigerian law got right is banning easy access to weapons


@Reinaldo

Don't you think we need a purge in this country sef?

Those bad leaders, wicked bosses, scammers, fake pastors and other idiots need to be purged

Even without legalising in Mexico, it still has more gun related deaths than America. So Nigeria not legalising guns doesn't mean it would decrease our growing gun violence. Read the news and see the number of casualties suffered by those bandit infested communities and ask yourself,if they would've suffered such huge casualties,had they been able to defend themselves?

In Western countries, almost everyone owns a licensed gun.

Though not all of them are for security reasons. Some are just for hunting and gaming!
