SECURITY SYSTEM OF NIGERIA

Nigeria is a country in western part of a continent called Africa; and is a country filled with diverse ethnic groups and richly blessed with various forms of natural resources you could everly imagine.

Overtime Nigeria has not performed badly in the areas of: industrial development, Agricultural activities, Local and international trading, massive creation of jobs, free Education and many more only to mention but a few.

It was of lately that things or the fortune of this noble country so to speak started going bad or derailing; for we to be able to re-tract from this present situation that we are in right now, all hands must be on deck and must be ready to embraced change.

The highest form of insanity is to believe that you would continue to be doing the same kind of thing and yet expect the desired result; it is either you change your strategies or try something else. Change in all it ramification is what we need right now.

Well, before I proceed I would like to bring in to light what is Security? According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Security is the activities involved in protecting a country, building, or person against attack or danger e.t.c Or protection against something bad that might happen in the future.

If you look at the security system of our country you will discover that it is fast decaying every now and then in spite the fact that recruitment of security personnel by both Government and Private sector that has being on; almost on a daily basis; could not still contain the threat on the masses live.

The issue with our security system today is that there are loop-holes that allow for easy manipulation; and that of course is not good enough for us. Until such a time that we become conscious of the danger insecurity can posed only then we can addressed these issue properly.

If we look closely at the recent happening such as : Bomb blast at the police force head quarter, Maiduguri and several other places, is as a result of inadequate security and likewise a slap on the faces of security personnel. It simply means that if they cannot guarantee their security what more of ours.

Gone are those days where we capitalize adequate security based on the numbers of the security personnel we have. This had really gone beyond that right now, what we need to make things right is to upgrade on our security system by introducing sophisticated devices to tackle security challenges in the country at large.

This can be achieve by establishing agencies like CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit ), which will in turn mount cameras in strategic places to monitor crime when they are being committed and also use a call tracking device to note peoples conversation and know when to react.

Also, arms x-raying devices should be mounted at the entry and exit of cars, people etc into the building and also reward people for any vital information as applicable in other countries.

If these few recommendation are taken into cognizance by the appropriate Authority, I assure you that this menace will be taken care of in our noble country.
