truthCoder: You want to copy America lol. Now what's the most obvious reason for crime in Nigeria(except from north of course)? It is poverty! A recently published article stated about 90m Nigerians will plunge into poverty and you want to copy Americas model? Let every one have access to guns and they can just rob from anyone when they are too broke. I've lived in areas where boys of 15 to 18 attack people at dawn and night to dispossess them of their possessions and even policemen are not spared. Goodluck to you giving them glocks then. Obviously there are pros to having us possess guns, but I reaffirm the cons far outweigh the pros for the simply fact that we do not have a working system. |

I beg to defer. Psychos already have access to guns. Legalizing gun ownership will only balance the equation, consequently reducing these vicious crimes we see and hear everyday. Police excesses will also curb as gun owners know their rights plus the tools to enforce those rights when infringed upon. You see, a government don’t just legalize gun ownership, it comes with specific laws, like the “stand your ground “ law in the US. There will also be laws in place to make sure that guns don’t fall in the wrong hands. I still think the Nigerian society is not ready for legalized gun ownership, not because of the reasons pointed out by the OP, but because the country simply lacks the infrastructure to implement a successful, working system. For example, tell gun dealers to only sell to people who present their NIN and have no criminal records, but they will sell to the highest bidders and their family members and friends without NIN without following the rules. That’s the real reason I think Nigeria ain’t ready. |

MadeINchenzen2:1 fairly used AK47 is more than a million naira...... depends on the supplier. How did the weapon become so prolific in the North ? I once read soldiers of a certain country up north sells their weapons for give away prices. Meanwhile, the general idea is to create defensive forces in each communities. Fully armed with AK47, and led by a seasoned and infiltrated military officer. Start with Kaduna for case study. It seems they need security the most. The hole of security lapses seems largest in Kaduna. Mobilize groups of adjoining community forces into a workable formation to comb the forest, and sanitize in it.....or using putin's language, to unnazify the forest. However, Nigeria needs no advice. Nigeria needs a revolutionary leader, who has the will and brutality to return the country to a sane climate. We don't need bigots of any form. |

We don't have leaders, that's just the long and short of everything. In a sane clime, the leaders would have buried the heads in shame and not bother themselves about who come next but this is Nigeria and progress is an alien culture. |

BRATISLAVA: All of those things you listed are already happening. Rest assured, there are plenty of guns in circulation. The only people who don't have guns are those who abide by the law. Already the Nigerians licensed to carry guns are outsourced to everyone with money. Police, army, nsdcd and Co, you have your money and you can use them for debt collection, land grabbing, seizing people properties etc. We are already in the place you have described. What use will the country be if all the law abiding citizens are dead or victims of crime? We talk about America system. That is also the issue. I live in festac. There was a time when we had aggressive car vandals. For the police to come by, they had to be PAID. Right now in lagos it looks like we may have sleeper boko haram or bandits. There are literally thousands of okada riders and they have taken over spots everywhere. I sometimes hear them driving around at 2am or 3am. What will I do if they decide to storm my home tomorrow? I once faced down two thugs in my home with fists and prevailed . This was eight years ago. I am older, fatter and my wife asks me who will take care of the family if I am not so lucky this time. And aboki criminals are much more crazy and much more dangerous than Yoruba ones. |

author= GloriousGbola post=111580006 All of those things you listed are already happening. Rest assured, there are plenty of guns in circulation. The only people who don't have guns are those who abide by the law. If they are happening, it will not be at the unprecedented scale that is being advocated. Already the Nigerians licensed to carry guns are outsourced to everyone with money. Police, army, nsdcd and Co, you have your money and you can use them for debt collection, land grabbing, seizing people properties etc. You will not see a politician wielding a gun, but just let one gun get near your Lagos touts under those bridges and you will see carnage and hell unleased on innocent citizens. We are already in the place you have described. We talk about America system. Yes, the system where there's 911 and laws. Where a person can get treated for a gun injury without having the cash on him at that moment. The system where the shooter can be tracked. Tell us, can Nigeria handle this? Clearly not. And like everything that gets out of hand, it will become an epidemic. That is also the issue. I live in festac. There was a time when we had aggressive car vandals. For the police to come by, they had to be PAID. It is better they are paid to come than bodies lying in the street everywhere a Nigerian feels they are meting justice on vandals, thieves etc. Right now in lagos it looks like we may have sleeper boko haram or bandits. There are literally thousands of okada riders and they have taken over spots everywhere. I sometimes hear them driving around at 2am or 3am. The solution isn't more guns, but more effective policing. Left to it, Nigeria will become the next Afghanistan. What will I do if they decide to storm my home tomorrow? If you feel everyone should have a gun as they face the same threats, then that is fine. Even in countries where people have guns these things still happen. And aboki criminals are much more crazy and much more dangerous than Yoruba ones. You are still calling them criminals? They are terrorists. I do not mind people having guns, but not in the mindless, lawless scape of Nigeria. Guns are good, but they should not be for people who are more interested in using them than dialogue. 1 Like |

We are in the era of technology. Why don't we use robotic soldiers to defeat terrorism? Watch "chappie" and that's problem solved for Nigeria! |

You omit to say that it will not be an OTC item. There will be strict regulatory procedures for its acquisition. It is the way to go!! It is an effective deterrence measure in the face of the criminality that has overwhelmed the FG under Buhari. |
