Sam’s Hangout #115 - “NATIONAL SECURITY & RESPONSIBILITY”
Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.
OBJECTIVE

NATIONAL SECURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "NATIONAL SECURITY & RESPONSIBILITY”.
The past few months have filled with terror for many Nigerians as insecurity concerns has taken over the course of the day. Citizens are being kidnapped on a daily basis, children are tortured to trauma while the perpetrators of this act remain committed to sharing clips of their activities online and demanding outrageous ransoms. The government has done little or nothing to curb this problem and this endless cycle has raised deep conversations about leadership, community responsibility, and the role individuals can play in creating safer environments.
Here's the question!
If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.
On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.
On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.
Don't forget to join us!!
There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.
With all that said, let the discussion begin...

Happy weekend
I have nothing to say about Nigeria.. i am tired.
😂 ah!
Oga calm down, Nigeria will be great again.
Good morning, everyone 🌞.
Not to beat around the bush, I love this topic... So much. And the thing is if we are bot very careful at times, we will talk, write and do all our of line, because Nigeria herself has given out of line, so instead of focusing on the actual topic/pressing matter, we began to derail and start complaining and all, which is understandable. It is what Nigeria has turned us into...but so I wouldn't start derailing too, lets say something....
For a while now I've been writing at least once a week about the situation of the country, especially about this insecurity of a thing. And the situation on ground is one that we can't ignore, and even though the primary responsibility of the government is to safeguard the lives and properties of its citizens, our own government has proven to be a failure, and we the citizens can no longer rely on them.
We the people need to be involved in a way that won't lead to violence and bloodshed. I was hearing a news of how some kidnappers were apprehended by Niger Delta boys, I love that, but what I don't like is how they are as well acting like them, because this Niger Delta boys as well were asking for a ransom before releasing them to go.... Like, that's not the solution to this things. Each communities should do all in its capacity to have watch groups, night watch men, look out for our vulnerable ones and all. Also, we shouldn't just leave him without telling anyone, and we shouldn't lie that we are going to zone A, whereas we are on our way to zone Y. It may look small, but it will help.
The government and our security agencies have failed, no doubt about that. This is a problem that should have been out out years ago, but they allowed it to grow into something they as well cannot manage anymore. So, we the citizens should be at alert always, work together and do what we can to keep our communities safe. Even still, we shouldn't stop protesting and calling out this failed government who's only concerned about being reelected.
Like I said earlier, I have been talking about this things for a while now, almost every week. The government has failed and they are as well the root cause of it, using it's citizens life to play politics.... common.
Funny thing is, when hey get this people they rehabilitate them and throw them back into the society... Who does that... What a failed government this is. And like sheikh Gumi will always say, our government know these people. There's corruption in our various government agencies, there's enmity and a whole lot, all these has add up together and had made this problem grow to this extent.
You now see security agencies being able to track down someone who speaks against the government on his media handle, but they can't apprehend terrorists who post and flaunts their victims, the ransoms and their ammunitions online.... Misplaced priority. It's just obvious that the government knows way beyond they admit.
There's an idea by Charles Awuzie,it is about the privatization of security. He proposed that private security agencies should come in, with their own expertise and all, then work together with the government security agencies... He made mention of some countries like South Africa who are into that already. A privately owned security agencies won't in any way want to tarnish their image, they will put all that is needed in place to the the work they are given.
Also, I believe we need a change in leadership, the judiciary, the president, the Senate and all.... We need better. Because the present ones aren't concerned about our welfare, they place their own interests and politics above their citizens. And until there's a change in leadership, I doubt if anything will change, it (this insecurity) will only continue to grow and these set of leaders will continue to give us empty promises.
In-between, go get your PVC ASAP.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
