Hmmmmn. What services are provided as per service charge in your case ? I would definitely sanction no opening of gate to non-payers (so if they drive in, they would have to get down to open the gate), afterall its the service charge that also funds security, so how they can expect that maiguard will serve them for free or no salary is beyond me. Some well established estate would not allow even house owners to drive into the estate unless they pay certain dues. I have witnessed this first hand. gabbytabby: 2 Likes |

gabbytabby: I expect that behaviour from a typical Nigerian,they're very selfish when it comes to paying for services,they hate parting with their money. I think all inclusive seems more realistic. |

For those that argue that having burglary separately is more secure, see the outcome here. The burglary was removed. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4846307_isherinorth1_jpeg62d71bdfa6e1f99640a980e00867b6f0 |

amanikondo: I have begun to ask myself why I did the so called burglary proof after seeing this. Nigerian criminals are so hardened to the extent they go any length to rob any house they set their eyes on. These criminals break holes in the wall and enter any house they set their eyes on. Burglary proof is only for petty thieves. I am now more than convinced that I need 2-3 sets of AK-47 and some .45 Caliber handguns with thousands of bullet packs in my house to sleep well in Nigeria. If you dare break my wall and I happen to have my guns with me in Nigeria, then either you die or I die that day. ![]()

amanikondo:Let's ask ourselves questions. For determined thieves to remove this burglary, it takes time to do this. In the process, arent anyone home?. They definitely would hear sounds. And if they do, they would most likely scream for help and even call police. I believe it is practically impossible for even determined thieves to successfully do this without being obstructed by owner or people or tenants (if any) So i want to conclude base on this picture that owner might be going through rehab ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

amanikondo: My friends house was robbed in a similar pattern, they climbed his huge fence, entered the compound, removed the protector via the window, entered his flat, he was at work, his wife & 2 kids alone when the ugly incident happened, the wife was asked to lie down and should not shout, they robbed them, opened the front door / the main gate (both has burglary proof) and took all their loot and went away. Nigeria is not safe at the moment, hunger, frustration, desperation, hopelessness has driven bad boys into crime, having all manner of security gadgets is good, but it does not dissuade determined criminals from robbing you, we have the 1 million robbery gang in lagos, they go in groups, well armed and they have wrecked havoc in several homes and sometimes they also rape women during their operation / carry soup & food items from your fridge during operation, effective neighborhood security / Opc guys + Police patrol might help to curtail crime + God Almighty if you subscribe to his protection or juju if that is what you believe in.

Empiree:The fear and tension alone when robbers invade your property will not make you do the right thing, haven't you heard of robbers pointing guns at people who are sleeping and tell them to cooperate or they blow their heads off, Nigeria is more like a country without security at the moment, what do you do as a home owner when you have 7 bad boys with AK-47 inside your living room pointed at you? and you have others waiting at different areas of your building?.... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by twinskenny(m): 7:29am On Feb 10, 2017 |
i believe this was done when the owner was away. apparently travelled and also believe its a lone compound. put a cctv right there monitor your home even when u are away... its can also scare them away too |

amanikondo: Even if it was an embedded burglary, this would have still happened. The owner of the house was kidnapped. The Police commissioner visited the place. So, i doubt they came to steal. 1 Like |

euromilion: Some of the landlords or caretakers are worse than the tenants. The tenants pay to them, they eat the money and start giving excuses. Iam in a six-flat apartment building. When we entered, light bill, water bill and security guard bill was included in the bill which we all paid and the landlord/caretaker said that he will be paying. He never paid to PHCN nor paid to Water corporation. He was even owing the security guard and he was not concerned because he was not living in the compound. We had to bear the brunt of PHCN, water corporation and security guard. When we were renewing, we insisted on doing it ourselves instead of paying it to him in our rent. That solved all the problems. So, do not be quick to blame the tenants Some of these landlords/care takers are worse than tenants. 3 Likes |

It looks like the window glass was broken to open the window from outside, then they broke off the hook points of the burglary to then take it off. I remember when i was telling my welder that we should use 16mm rods for the burglary, he did YIMMU to me that it doesnt stop the determined thief its just something to put off low level ones. Also our Nigerian mentality, if you got a house to rent and it doesnt have burglary, it will be frowned upon oo. NL1960: |

1) No single level of protection will ever be as effective as multi level. Even then it's still attempt at frustrating the casual thief. 2) What was done to this window canalso he done to an embedded one. I chose non embedded because I can do a more ornate design versus the kirikiri ish embedded look. 3) Tall fence (my preference) with razor wire on top. Mai guard. "Trained" security dogs. Not family pet. Sensored and protected entry points with cameras in strategic points. Now relax, sit back and hope your number is not up with a determined crew. The isha wewes will leave you be. |

EgunMogaji: Supported on all points. #2 - Even though I used embedded.... it's a designed embedded like you said above not that kirikiri prison type.. But I will also add Asabari security. Hajji M. |

mufutau55:Oga Hajj, It's so sad to hear the extent we have to go to protect ourselves in our own country. My question remain, How did we get to this disheartening level, what can be done to bring us to a level where we can relax without fear. Does this mean there is no hope again?, Lord have Mercy. |

Empiree:You funny oh... robbers dey invade a complete street without fear of even the police. Even if the owner was home, shouting or calling the police will not make any difference and the neoghbours wouldn´t dare come out or make any noise. Just pray that you don´t experince this robbers. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by 3strikes: 1:44pm On Feb 11, 2017 |
These below should take care of naija robbers unless they come with tanks. If you can get ur hands on remington 700 308 sniper rifles and a night vision glasses...setup at a(Vantage point)...preferably ur pent or top floor. You can make things happen before they enter ur compound. Also get some short guns and pistols....this will be very useful if they sneak up on you so fast. Caveat: before you attempt this and before trying to be a hero...make sure you have lots of ammo o and be ready to deal with naija police the next day. Cos you must write statements. Come to think of it...Na person wey dey alive they do case. 1 Like
