The rate of crime in Nigeria is increasing every day, in the last 8 months, there have been several records of different crimes committed by different people in various locations, the world is no longer safe for us the masses in general, both car owners and bike owners can't park their cars and bikes outside for the night without something going wrong the next day, it just pains my heart to see how worst things are getting in this country...
One thing I am pleased about is the fact that my vicinity has been peaceful of all sorts of crimes lately, there has been no RECORD of robbery, theft, rape, ritual killing, or burglary in the last couple of months now, the last time we had a record of a significant crime in my vicinity was years ago and since the event happened, the security in my vicinity has been strict and tighten, so therefore things have been quite peaceful to an extent...
The truth is that the rate of crime in my vicinity is just about 20 percent, the reason is that I stay in a very remote area, the fact that I stay in a remote area doesn't mean crimes don't take place, the truth is crimes do take place but the last couple of months has been quite peaceful, there has been no record of any major crime and this is the first time my vicinity has been this peaceful of crime...
I remember how crazy and dangerous my vicinity was some years ago, my vicinity was as dangerous as the forbidden forest many years ago, both children and adults couldn't walk in the street again once it was 7 pm upward, if you see anyone walking around that time, then that person must be walking with group of people because my vicinity was far from safe and secure...
Years ago we had a ritual killer staying in my vicinity, this particular man has been in my area for many years but we never knew if was a ritual killer, i and my elder brother were even friends with his last son at one point in time, it got to a point when we separated ourselves from that family because of the warning given by our parents, years later this man was arrested for ritual killing and that was how my neighborhood was turned into turmoil, it took quite a while before things got better...
This man's house was shut down and it became hard to enter his street in the late hours of the day but after some months passed, we started moving out at night, we had strong and tight security and it was quite reliable...
Presently, our nightlife is very safe here, I wont say it is fully safe but I can boldly say it is safe to an extent because over here, we still go out from 10 PM TO 12 PM without fear and worries, I for one am very known by the guys in my street, you could say i am quite acquainted with the thugs in my vicinity, these thugs stay out very late in the night and thanks to them, moving out has been easy for the people around me and the people around...
These thugs are also people living in my vicinity so most of the people around here know them very well, so our nightlife is quite safe but as we all know that prevention is better than cure, once it gets very dark over here, parents don't allow their kids to go out again, they rather run every errand meant for their kids themselves than to put them in dangers way by sending them out late...
In conclusion, my vicinity is safe to an extent and I believe it is better than some vicinity, we can still move out till 9 pm over here but we have some people who still move around till 11 pm, people like me do that and that is because my vicinity is safe to an extent and i am well known over here...
Irrespective of the fact that my vicinity is safe to an extent, I still don't overdo it by moving out late multiple times, we should not misuse the grace given to us, life is very unpredictable...
