With random terrorist attacks, continued violence on the streets, and an increase in social injustice, personal safety is becoming more of a prime concern than ever before.

We know right? But why do you lock your gates or the door to your room?
Its also God who gave them the wisdom and know-how to produce this.
Its just the same BS ppl say that God is the healer and I'd be like ofcus yeah, I never claimed to be the healer, i only use the wisdom of God to bring about healing.
Abeg let us not let religious radicalism draw us further aback. Africa is light years behind already.
