Popular Nigerian singer and a member of the Psquare band, Paul Okoye has advised Nigerians to take responsibility for their safety.

Okoye, in a now-viral post shared on his social media page, noted that Nigerians will be safer when citizens accept they are responsible for their own safety.
“The earlier you realize that you are responsible for your own safety in Nigeria, the safer you will be.” he wrote.
Meanwhile, celebrity stylist and reality star, Toyin Lawani had earlier bemoaned the escalating insecurity and excruciating economic hardship in the country.
Speaking via her Instagram page, Lawani lamented the rate of kidnapping, suicides, and hike in prices of essential consumables and services.
She wrote: “This is not even a joke anymore. People are being kidnapped from their homes and killed in Nigeria. Imagine you can’t even be safe in your own country.
“Nothing is really working. Businesses are suffering, people are suffering, food Is expensive, transportation is expensive and pay is not going up, Yet people are out of jobs, calamity is befalling us. People are committing suicide daily.
“The future is not bright for our kids except they are in the right family to grow. We all need to start speaking up for our brothers and sisters who have no voice. Nigeria is becoming unsafe and unfruitful. Why?
“To everyone affected in Ibadan, Jos, Abuja, Kaduna etc, May God lift your burdens.”
