CRIME PREVENTION? by Hyela Yakubu

What is the definition of CRIME PREVENTION? 

“The anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a crime risk and initiation of action to remove or reduce it.” Effective crime prevention is proactive rather than reactive.

· Learn to be proactive! Being proactive means attempting to prevent something from occurring in the first place.

· Have SITUATIONAL AWARENESS! This means pay attention to your surroundings so you can identify potential threats and dangerous situations. You have to be “aware” before you can be proactive.

· Take responsibility for your own safety. Be aware of “problem areas” and make an informed decision whether or not to put yourself in that environment.

· Awareness and training are two of the most important tools to reduce criminal opportunity.
· Be aware of the social, economic or political climate of a particular environment.

· Pay attention to your GUT FEELINGS, even when you are busy or distracted. Many times after a violent crime occurs, the victim would say that they had a bad feeling about the person or the place.

YOU are responsible for your own safety! Law enforcement cannot be everywhere. YOU have to make good decisions.

· If you are confronted by a violent individual or a gang: Stay Calm. Don’t escalate the situation. Try to get accurate descriptions. Don’t argue. Comply with requests. As a last resort, physical fighting. Give up your property—your car, cell phone, money, wallet or whatever they ask for. 

What are you willing to die for? The majority of the time, they just want your money or your property. 

The goal? 

YOUR SAFETY!

Naira Recovers Against the Dollar in the Parallel Market...See Current Value

Image
The naira has resumed its recovery against the dollar in the black market after suffering a setback.   There are strong indications that the efforts of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stabilise the naira may have started yielding the expected results according to the Leadership. A CBN official last week noted that the deployment of a number measures by the bank may have turned the tide in the foreign exchange (FOREX) market and led to the severe punishment suffered by currency hoarders and speculators. The CBN had earlier insisted that speculators were behind the market bubble since the upper week which dealt negatively on the naira, sending it down to an all-time low of almost N400 to the dollar. The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, had accused speculators who connived with bureau de change operators to undermine the efforts of the bank of propping up the naira and warned that such speculators would eventually be punished by the market. Last week, it be...

Buhari Effect Continues as Value of Naira Makes Tremendous Improvement Overnight....See Value

Image
The Naira has continued in its speedy recovery against the dollar in the parallel market as customers are beginning to adapt to the economic realities.     Foreign currency speculators, who launched an unprecedented attack against the naira in the last two weeks, got their fingers burnt on Tuesday when the nation’s currency staged a major recovery, rising to N310 to a dollar at the close of business, compared to N375 at which it sold on Monday. The naira fell to an all-time low of about N400 to a dollar on the parallel market last week fuelling concerns that it would plummet further to N450-N500/$ this week. But findings from THISDAY showed that the naira defied expectations, climbing to as high as N305 to the dollar at some parallel market points in Lagos on Tuesday afternoon, before settling at N310. Forex dealers and currency analysts attributed the significant gain on the parallel market to excess supply of the greenback in the market, even as...

Image
