Moving Forward
One has to be extremely careful because the current security situation in Nigeria is quite questionable. We have to be very alert and watch out for signs when it comes to criminal activity. Human intuition can’t be overemphasized at this point.
Despite the fact that there are police officers and army officials, they can’t protect everyone. So it is vital that we do our part to stay safe and be our brother’s keeper.
When there is an impending attack on someone close to you, ensure you do what you can to help.
