Yesterday my blog mentioned the prevalent use of bulletproof cars in Nigeria. I have since had further time to reflect on this topic and my conclusion is this. For those of you who are rich enough to order bulletproof cars, you may be able to protect your family from becoming victims of crime, but somehow you still have to interact with the average Joe Blog on the street, and so is your family.
I believe that the more you do for your community, the more these people will fight to keep you safe, crime will drop because people become gainfully employed. Invest in the people in your community, fight hard to get them water, electricity and good roads. Fight hard to help your community access a quality healthcare system as well.
We can no longer depend on the government to provide all the facilities and the infrastructure our communities require, we are a resourceful people and when we pull resources together we can make things happen. Let use our resources to create wealth.
