SAFETY MEASURES
ON CAMPUS
There are certain security tips
you need to know while on
campus. As a student, these
tips will help to protect and
defend you against crime,
violence and unnecessary
threats.
Robbery, bullying, sexual
harassment, rape, violence,
cultist attack or clash are some
of the challenges you may likely They are not your private lodge, your hostel can affect you as

enticing them with interesting
things, behavior and events
that looks too good to be true.
They may also offer assistance
such as providing help in
securing accommodation,
financial support, help with
registration, campus tour, and
many more. Most times, they
make themselves more
available than you could ever
expect. They could go as far as
abandoning their own lectures
just to buy your attention. Be
very careful of people in that
category. As soon as you get
along with them they will begin
to invite you to interesting
events like departmental
parties, fresher's night,
birthday parties, and so on,
please don't go with them. Stay
very far from people you have
little or no trust in. Stay away
from them if you find no peace
with them being around you.
Well, Not all strangers are with
bad intentions but be very
selective while choosing
friends. And set a reasonable
bounds between you and them.
Avoid answering or giving out
personal information about
yourself to strangers, even your
friends shouldn't know too
much about your personal life.
And remember your new
friends have friends you don't
know yet.
Be very selective while
choosing friends
You need to be mindful of the
gathering you sit, friends you
keep, and folks you move with
on campus.
Getting along with a female
friend is not bad but make sure
you watch closely and carefully
while approaching a lady so
that you won't be in rivalry

attractive and beautiful ladies
on campus aren't left out in this
situation as they are most likely

level student who are staylite
and knows more about the
school than you.
Watch your movement
Life in higher institution is
always full of freedom as you're
the controller of your
movement. Now take a deep
breath and imagine how sweet
it is getting to know that no one
will give you any punishment
for going out too early or
coming back home very late in
the night. It's sweet, correct?
Nevertheless you need to
remember the child of whom
you are, and discipline yourself
by setting a time limit for your
movement indoor and outdoor.
Never walk alone in lonely
routes. Never walk alone in the
night and if you have to go to
the vigil or a night class, go
earlier before time. Raise alarm
immediately if you notice an
untrusted person trailing or
following you with suspicious
moves. Don't roam around the
school after classes but visit
the library, extra curricular
activity unit, the zoo, or other
educational centers.

Be mindful of your dressing
Indecent dressing is a social
malady with deliberate
exposure of one’s body to the
public which does not conform
to the norms and values of the
society, particularly where we
are. Higher institution students
should therefore be mindful of
indecent dressings, common
among females are sleeveless
tops, skimpy wears,
transparent clothes, piercing of
the mouth or tongue, spaghetti
tops, naughty crop tops, etc. It
is no longer a news that male
youths now put on earrings,
plait hair, sag their trousers,
pierce ears, etc, which make
them appear irresponsible in
their society. Indecent dressing
can cause sexual harassment,
abortion, contraction of
sexually transmitted diseases,
poor academic performance,
the desire to steal, campus
prostitution and ritual killing.
For the male students,
indecent dressing can
influence them to join cultism,
as it portrays an image of
irresponsibility. Your image at
times saves and protects you
from bad people and false
allegations.
How you look and appear in
public signifies who you're and
what you're. Be cautious of how
you dress in public. Stay away
from the following while on
campus; wearing of skimpy
cloths, tight or transparent
clothes, clothes that shows
sensitive parts of the body. For
male, wearing of earring, tinted
or dread locked hairs, beret
caps, zagging of trousers.

Save emergency numbers,
call and raise alarm when
necessary
When you see, feel or hear
something strange, keeping
silent may be very dangerous
and may lead to terrible
consequences. Raise alarm or
report immediately when you
notice something strange. It is
good to have all emergency
numbers stored on your mobile
device, you will easily dial when
faced with a life threatening
challenge.
Join only registered
organisations
In school, there are different
groups comprising of many
participants/members. These
groups are either registered or
unregistered. Among the
registered are the kegite's cub,
press club, entertainment
crew, para military groups like
man o' war, cadet and others,
students political groups,
students empowerment
groups, and many more.
While among the unregistered
groups are the cult groups like
the Neo Black Movement (Aiye
axemen), Supreme Eiye
Confraternity (Airlords),
Buccaneers (Alora), Pyrates
(Seadogs), the Vikings,
Klansmen Konfraternity and
many more. And the Jezebel
Queen, Black Bra, Yellow
angels, Blue angels, etc for the
ladies. Joining cultist groups
might look sweet while joining
especially when you are yet to
go on an assignment. After
your initiation, you would be
given a member who would be
your new friend and watch you
always so that you won't reveal
the secret. The person's work is
to keep an eye on you always
until you carry out your
assignments. You will be given
a lot of privilege on campus
until you are been given an
assignment where in a picture
and video of you in the criminal
activity would be taken and
used as a tool of threat against
you whenever you want to
renounce them.
Be mindful of your utterance
and posts on social media
Being current on Social media
is cool and necessary but at the
same time it could be a good
trap set by you to catch
yourself. How? Posting pictures
or sensitive information about
you, or sharing your
movements online for example,
if your facebook status reads,
“Will go to Ventura by 4pm
today” or “Chilling right now
with friends at Tennis Club”. By
so doing, you have indirectly
disclosed your whereabouts
and movement. It's advisable
you post your events or outings
after leaving or while about to
leave there.
Do not visit a stranger you
just met
It is a generally accepted
saying that YOUR CLOSE
FRIENDS HAVE ONCE BEEN A
STRANGER. Nevertheless, every
thing has its own protocol. Do
not visit a stranger you just met
in his or her private lodge or
home, private lodges like hotel
room, and any other unsafe
places.
NANS SOUTHWEST
Volume 01 Aug 2023
You can meet up with such a
person at eatery, cinema, salon,
school sport complex, school
relaxation center, and any
other public places you find
safe for you.
Always tell your movement to
someone
Yes, no one is perfect and
people tends to betray
anytime, but you just have to
trust someone and confide in
the person. Such a person
might be your family member
or a very close friend. Try to get
used to the habit of telling such
a person your movement
especially when you are going
for an event, party or visiting a
friend or love partner.
Nevertheless make sure such a
person is trustworthy. Don't tell
your movement to someone
who don't tell you theirs. Don't
say your life challenges to
someone who won't share
theirs after you said yours, else
visit a counselor or therapist.
Be cautious of what you drink
or eat
Never accept food or drink
from a Stranger, regardless of
where and how you met. If you
weren't there when the food
was made and the food or
drink is not sealed, please
decline it. It might have been
poisoned or drugged. Also it
might be a portion of cult
initiation substance. Do not get
drunk while in public, and go
home immediately you notice
you're feeling tipsy. Always
keep an eye on your food or
drink while outdoor.
