Security
is everyone's business, and so we all should take it seriously. The
recent happenings in the World and especially in our country, Nigeria,
just drive home this point.
Young children and adults should not be left out but should be
well-informed and educated on ways to secure their spaces and even their
things, as human beings are the weakest links when it comes to
security.

To stay ahead of the Enemy, proper information and education are paramount and so here are 5 things we should do to improve security
1. Install Good Security Systems:By this, I mean good alarm systems. This could be in the form of Door alarms, CCTV systems and also motion sensors that helps you detect abnormal movements. This could be a bit expensive, but when compared to what you lose when robbed, it's worth the investment. Security dogs too are another good strategy for keeping safe.
2. Good Neighborliness:This means we cultivate the habit of Community policing, that is, by watching over your neighbour's properties while he does the same to yours in your absence. This simple activity though overlooked has saved so many people from not only losing properties but also their lives. But for this to be done, we have to be friendly and show ourselves reliable and trustworthy neighbours too.
3. Proper Lighting of Homes:It is a known fact that robbers thrive in darkness and so to combat that proper lighting should be encouraged. Security lights should be fixed at strategic points in the house. Thanks to solar streetlights and lamps as power now seem to be erratic, in addition maintaining a steady routine of turning on and turning off such lights should also be encouraged.
This seemingly simple tip could be a lifesaver if promptly and religiously adhered to. Remember, you own it a duty to keep safe and also keep others safe.
