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!

Story of 'Big Booty' African Slave, Sara Baartman Who was Abused by Europeans and Used as a Circus Animal (Photo)

Image
Sara Baartman was abused and used as a circus animal by Europeans   On 29 October 1810, Saartjie “Sara” Baartman, a nineteen year old Khoisan woman signed a contract to be taken from Cape Town to London to be exhibited for entertainment purposes. Though she was illiterate, history allegedly claims she signed the contract with an English ship surgeon named William Dunlop who was a friend to Pieter Willem Cezar and Hendrik Cezar. Pieter Willem Cezar had bought Sara Baartman as a slave at sixteen and she worked for Pieter’s brother, Hendrik. It was here that she was named Saartjie, the Dutch form of Sara.   The history of colonialism was so unfair to her that she was stripped of her identity and her bodily integrity. Her story is the full representation of the evils of a hybrid of colonialism, slavery, racism and sexism. The Europeans even disrespected her humanity to the extent of displaying her brain, skeleton and sexual organs in a Paris museum until 1974. Sh...

Names of Nigerian Churches That Will Make You Laugh Uncontrollably (Photos)

Image
  It should be noted that Nigerian churches especially the Pentecostal ones are springing up massively that there is the fear the institutions could outnumber the members.   Lagos State has been the worst hit as several churches of different sizes jostle for members. The numerous churches preach diverse messages bordering on salvation, healing, miracles, financial success, promotion and others.   Due to the exhausted names of churches, it appears some founders have adopted extreme names to prevent the repetition of the names of other religious gatherings in the country.   Below are the funny names of some churches in Nigeria:
