KIDNAPPING IN NIGERIA: 6 conducts to avoid becoming A Victim

The increase in the rate of kidnapping in Nigeria is something that should be a cause for concern to every one of us. Kidnapping in Nigeria have never been this popular, because very few cases of kidnapping had been reported in the past .

Today, we are sharing probably the most important security tips you must know, especially with the negative effect kidnapping have done to the safety, and peace of our country Nigeria.

1. Avoid Driving High Value Cars At Night

High value cars are very easy to identify, so if you have one, make sure you aren’t driving late in the night. Kidnappers are selective in their choice of victims. They target people they assume can afford the ransom they are asking for.

Once they are able to ascertain that an individual is rich enough to own the high-value cars they quickly swing into action to kidnap. You will hardly find adoption cases happening in broad day light. We are most venerable to this kind of attack at night.

Are we saying you should not buy high value cars? No! We are simply saying you shouldn’t drive that high value car of yours are night, it’s a lot safer for you. 

The exotic cars can attract undue attention.

2. Avoid Money Related Dispute

The love of money they say is the root of all evil. Sure some of you agree that money can be a cause for concern.

Kidnap cases can be politically motivated. We cannot ignore the fact that disputes are part of our day to day interaction. Disputes should be amicably resolved, don’t allow a dispute degenerate to a level of ‘live and death’. Employ the service of a lawyer where necessary.

Some people can go to any length to ensure that their selfish desires are fulfilled, when buying a land, make sure you posses it legally and avoid cutting corners. It’s a lot saver to avoid any form of scandal.

Kidnapping is a way these criminals/individual use in getting what they want forcefully, don’t give them that opportunity!

3. Avoid Flaunting a Luxury Lifestyle

The social media has its good, bad and ugly. It is an interactive platform where you can share personal pictures for your friends and follower to like or comment.

While sharing pictures from your daily activities make sure you are not flaunting that luxury lifestyle. When it comes to the cases of kidnapping, informants are usually people who have access to your personal information. 

It is difficult to filter friends you have on social media, because you there are really no way you can know what is playing in the minds of your social media followers.

If you can’t but flaunt your luxury, do well to get yourself professional security guards as escorts. The problem with getting ordinary guards is that, they could be compromised; professional security guards are trained to be confidential.

4. Keep Your Financial Transactions Confidential

Kidnappers are known to take people forcefully in order to demand for a ransom. They give conditions for the release of their captures, sending panic to the family and friends of the victims.

Research shows that 7 out of 10 kidnappers always request that money be paid for the release of kidnap victims. These demands are mostly made because they believe the victims have the money at their disposal; so they basically target people who either have access to a large sum of money or are rich.

The most logical way to avoid these unnecessary attentions is not to reveal your financial history to anyone! Vital information like your bank statement of account should not be handled carelessly.

If you must have printed copies of your financial transactions, make sure you have a secured safe to keep them. 

Also discussing money matters on phone is not the safest thing to do, especially when you are in a public place.

Be guided!

5. Carefully select domestic staffs, artisans and individuals who have access to your itinerary

Having mentioned social media, other possible informant for a potential case of kidnapping are the people we let into our homes and offices.

You should be selective with the kind of people you employ as domestic staffs. Conduct a background check on people who want to work with you. You also need to see to the fact that you vet their credentials.

If you have not been asking for a guarantor from your staffs, its time you start doing that and verify every details, even the addresses! You don’t want to employ someone who has a criminal record.

6. Watch Out For Trails

Two car parts are very important when we are discussing trails; the rear mirror and side mirror. These two vehicle parts helps the driver of a car, identify suspected trails.

Do well to check these two mirrors at regular interval while driving, so as to spot possible cars that could have been driven by suspected kidnappers. If you suspect you are being trailed, look for the closest police station you can locate and report.

Let’s assume you don’t know the closest police station close to you, make use of the Google App on your phone. Yes! 

Technology has advanced to a point where your map can lead you to the safest point (police station); the police mobile hotline could be reached as well.

Trails are also not limited to cars, people can also be followed. While walking, do well to check behind you for any strange person who could have been following you.

How to know You’re buying a stolen Car

The process of buying a car is a bit strenuous. You need to be aware that a huge number of cars get hijacked on daily basis, so you have to be extra careful and patient when purchasing a vehicle. For you not to fall into the hands of the law due to your negligence, you need to read the guidelines on how to identify a stolen car when making a purchase.

Check for the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) When buying a car from anyone, the first thing to observe on the car is the VIN. 

The number is always located somewhere around the driver’s side at the lower part of the windshield and dashboard, sometimes on the inner part of the door. The VIN is used to check validity of ownership of the car through sites like Carfax where you’ll get all the needed information concerning the car. 

You will be able to know if the car has been reportedly stolen and unrecovered. If you observe that the VIN is present, but has been tampered with, like being scratched with sharp tools, that’s a red flag on that ride.

When you’re getting no Documents Are you buying a car and paying in cash of which you’re definitely not going to get any document to prove your ownership of the car? That might get your hands in cuffs someday. 

To be sure you’re not buying a stolen vehicle, no matter how the buyer seems to convince you on the ride, do make sure you’re getting some legal paperwork to that will show some transactions between you and the seller. 

Sellers of stolen cars sometimes give fake documents with wrong titles and incorrect spellings, take a calm look at the bank statements or anything that seem forged before you proceed.

The Seller is Impatient A hijacked car seller wants a buyer so quick to get the car off his possession. He is ready to negotiate any amount with you if you’re ready to pay. Take your time well when negotiating to avoid purchasing a stolen car.

The address of the seller matters Everyone has a specific dwelling place, even though some might have more than one. 

The seller should have a precise location where he resides. You can easily access Google Maps for validity of his location and give no reply to daft questions about you knowing a cop or not; it’s a business transaction not an interview.

Check for the License Plates You need to check the vehicle you’re buying for licensed plates, check if they are fully reflective and if such plates are being used in that state.

 You can as well take a picture of it on your cellphone if need be. Lastly, get an automobile mechanic to help you with a thorough check up. They know the tricks of the game.

Life After Death: Scientist Explains What Actually Happens When You DIE

A WORLD renowned doctor has revealed to the world what it is like to die and says the process is "peaceful" and "pleasant".

Dr Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone School of Medicine in New York City, said dying is "very comfortable".

And the doctor said people who have had a near-death experience sometimes describe encounters with deceased relatives but insists the sensation is not evidence of the afterlife.

Regarding the physical process, Dr Parnia told a recent Oz Talk: “Death is a process, it is not a black and white moment.

“The final result is we have a deduction of oxygen that gets inside the brain when we are about to die and that causes our brain circuits to shut down and we become unconscious to the outside world.

This is what happens when you die 

People experience calmness and peacefulness. 

“When the heart stops, all life processes go out because there is no blood getting to the brain, to the kidneys, and liver and we become lifeless and motionless and that is the time that doctors use to give us a time of death.”

But the doctor, who has authored several studies and books on the subject of death, said there is a mental process, which has left survivors of near death experiences longing for death again.

Dr Parnia, who has brought thousands of patients back from the brink, said: “When we die, that experience is not unpleasant for the vast majority of people.

“For those of us who die naturally, even if we were in pain before we die, the process of death becomes very comfortable, it is very blissful, peaceful.

“People describe a sensation of a bright, warm, welcoming light that draws people towards it." 

“People describe a sensation of a bright, warm, welcoming light that draws people towards it.

“They describe a sensation of experiencing their deceased relatives, almost as if they have come to welcome them. They often say that they didn’t want to come back (to life) in many cases, it is so comfortable and it is like a magnet that draws them that they don’t want to come back.

“A lot of people describe a sensation of separating from themselves and watching doctors and nurses worn them.

“A lot of people describe a sensation of separating from themselves" 

“They can hear things and record all conversations that are going on around them.

“Some of them describe a sensation where they review everything that they have done.”

However, Dr Parnia says there are scientific explanations for these reaction, and says seeing people is not evidence of the afterlife, but more likely the brain just scanning itself as a survival technique.

He said thanks to modern technology and science “death does not have to be limited to philosophy and religion, but it can be explored through science.”

10 Tragic events that shook humanity! The third one happened in Nigeria.

Be it from natural disasters, human atrocities, or the results of conflicts and wars between nations, there are literally hundreds of stories that line the pages of our history books. No doubt there will be more to come but we are going to focus on some important ones from each century.

10. Pol Pot

Pol Pot is a Cambodian that served as the Leader and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea also known as Khmer Rouge from 1963 to 1981. From 1975 to 1979, what was known as the Cambodian genocide was carried out by this regime under the orders of Pol Pot.

It is estimated that between 1.5 to 3 million Cambodian people lost their lives during this time. Others were left at public sites known as The Cambodian Killing Fields. An analysis of 20,000 mass grave sites by the DC-Cam Mapping Program and Yale University indicate at least 1,386,734 victims were executed and abandoned in these areas.

9. Irish Potato Famine (The Great Famine)

The people of Ireland suffered The Great Famine that lasted for four years between 1845 to 1849 . 

It was a time of mass starvation, depression, disease, and emigration in the country. The famine was caused by potato blight, a disease that ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s. 

The impact was even worsened by the actions and inactions of the irish government. Altogether about a million Ireland citizens and inhabitants are reliably estimated to have died of starvation and epidemic disease during the four-year famine.

The Irish famine killed nearly one-eighth of the entire population and so was proportionally much more destructive than the vast majority of famines in modern times.

8. Nanking Massacre. 

1937 was the year when the Imperial Japanese Army brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of people, including both soldiers and civilians, in the Chinese city of Nanking. During the time of the massacra, time, Nanking was the capital of Nationalist China and it took decades for the city and its citizens to recover from the savage attacks. 

The death toll in the Nanking Massacre is estimated to be from 200,000 to 300,000 people. And it is also known as the Nanking Massacre or the Rape of Nanking because between 20,000 and 80,000 women were sexually assaulted.

After the end of the war, General Matsui and his lieutenant Tani Hisao, were convicted for war crimes by the International Military Tribunal for the Far 

East and subsequently executed.

World War Two lasted for 6 years from 1939 to 1945 with an estimated 15 million military deaths, 45 million civilian deaths, and 25 million wounded, its known as the deadliest war in human history. What ended that war will go down as causing some of the darkest days in history. On August 6, 1945, the world’s first atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima by an American B-29 bomber.

The huge explosion wiped out 90% of the city and killing an estimated 90,000 to 146,000 people. Tens of thousands more later died of radiation exposure and making the place unfit for cultivation till this day. Three days later, a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 - 80,000 people.

1994 marked the year of The Rwandan Genocide, a mass slaughter that took place over a 100-day period from April 7 to mid-July 1994. Members of the Hutu ethnic majority in the east central African nation of Rwanda murdered as many as 800,000 people, mostly of the Tutsi minority, so it was also known as the genocide against the Tutsi.

The first victims of the genocide were the Hutu Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana and her 10 Belgian bodyguards which led to the retaliation from the Hutus and thus genocide. 

This created a political vacuum that an interim government of extremist Hutu Power leaders from the military high command. This led to more than 2 million people fleeing Rwanda and crowding into refugee camps in the Congo and other neighboring countries.

4. The Black Death

The Black Death was a plague that hit and spread across Europe from 1346 to 1353. Looking back at the Black Death, its without doubt some of the bleakest days in the world’s history. 

The frightening name most likely came from a mistranslation of the Latin word atra meaning both “terrible” and “black.” The black death had varying symptoms ranging from infection of the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties, boils erupting under the armpits and swollen lymph nodes in the groin area that left people dead within two days.

Up to 60% of Europe's total population was wiped out. In total, it is discovered that the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350 to 375 million in the 14th century as It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level.

In 1966, after series of military coups resulting in the execution of Nigeria’s political leaders and the rise of a new government ruled by the northern military leader, Supreme Commander Yakubu Gowon. 

Thousands of northern fighters targeted Igbo army officers and roving mobs killed tens of thousands of Igbo civilians. Those Igbo who had survived the massacra fled to back to their former homes and villages in the southeast, carrying tales of governmental violence and betrayal with them.

In response to the massacres, Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu established an independent Republic of Biafra for the Igbo people on May 30th, 1967 seceding from Nigeria. War began on the 6th of June with Nigeria and it lasted three bloody years, sparking a massive humanitarian crisis as 2 millions Biafrans starved to death or perished from preventable diseases.

2. The Vietnam War. 

The Vietnam War officially ran from August 5, 1964 to May 7, 1975, so it was not just a few days but many years. An estimated 9,087,000 military personnel fought during the war.

Looking at some statistics put together by retired Sergeant First Class (SFC) David Hack, who volunteered for service in Vietnam in 1968, joining the 1st Infantry Division: A total of 58,148 military personnel were killed in Vietnam, 75,000 were severely disabled, 23,214 were 100% disabled, 5,283 lost limbs, and 1,081 sustained multiple amputations.

1. Cretaceous Tertiary (K–T) Extinction

For number one, we’re stepping as far back in time as we can. To be precise, we will be going back 66 million years ago to an event known as The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, which is also known as the Cretaceous–Tertiary or K–T extinction. This was one grey day when all of a sudden there was a mass extinction of 80% of the plant and animal species on Earth. Here's what happened?. 

It is generally thought that the K–T extinction was majorly caused by the impact of a massive comet or asteroid about 6.2 to 9.3 miles (10 to 15 km) wide. 

Even though It’s hard for this theory to be inconclusively proven, there is a good amount of evidence to support it.

A huge crater 112 miles (180 km) in diameter was discovered buried beneath sediments of the Yucatán Peninsula near Chicxulub, Mexico, and has been dated to the right period. 

And a second smaller crater, which predates the one at Chicxulub by about 2,000 to 5,000 years, was discovered at Boltysh in Ukraine in 2002. Whatever exactly might have happened, maybe noah's ark or something as others claim, it was certainly one of the worst days in the hisExtinction

e world.
