A Safe Neighborhood For Me And Mine.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the hive learner's featured post. It is really disheartening to say that gone are the days where we experienced peace and harmony in our neighbourhoods, the days where we felt safe and could even walk around freely at night without looking over our shoulders, today it is a completely different story as both at broad daylight and at night we are forced to look over our shoulders and make sure that we don't have those who have plans to hurt us following us behind.

Lately all over the news it has been from one bad news to another, see how many of these terrible and sad news or stories reaches the media and are made public and then you sit down and try to think what about those that don't make it to the media, how about those terrible things that happens but only those in the community or nearby communities get to hear of them? You see that when you add both those that get to the news and those that don't, you come to realise that our world is no longer safe and making it safe for all of us again is not something to rely on the government to get done for us, it is something that every individual, every family, every boy, every girls, every man and every woman must join hands together and fight.

so many people fail to understand that once the neighbourhood or the country is no longer safe, it is only a matter of time before it affects you too whether in a major way or a minor but it will definitely come knocking and for the fact that they feel it will not affect them in anyway, they show little or no care and every morning come on WhatsApp to post "may Nigeria not happen to me and my loved ones" but fail to understand that even those that have fallen victim of the unsafe nature of their country or neighbourhood also posted same maybe months ago or even weeks ago but all it took was time and they ended up as victims.

Today, we have to pay two times the normal price for foodstuff all because farmers cannot go to their farm comfortably for the fear of getting killed or harmed by bandits and Fulani herdsmen, today we forced to rely on only a few farmers willing to the risk and a few places with no cases of attacks on farmers to feed the entire nation which causes the demands for those food materials to be very high and the supply very low.

With all I have said above you can already assume what my answer will be, it is a yes. If I have the money and the power I will fight crime, it will be difficult to completely eradicate crime from the face of the earth but keep it at barest minimum makes the neighborhood and the country a lot safer than what we have today. Clearly we have relied on the authorities to do what they are paid for and expected of them for the longest of time and unfortunately they have done nothing and only offered us promises with no action and things have gone from bad to worse, so if I have the power and the money, I will fight crime myself and not wait for the authorities.
