The Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, has advised Nigerians to defend themselves from armed bandits instead of showing cowardice in the face of attacks.
Magashi stated this while addressing journalists in a video that surfaced on social media on Wednesday, February 17, 2021.

According to him, it is the responsibility of every citizen to be alert and defend themselves against bandits terrorising their communities.
While urging Nigerians not to be cowards, Magashi said the operations of bandits are sometimes carried out with a few rounds of ammunition to cause fear among the citizens.
“It is the responsibility of everybody to keep alert and to find safety when necessary. But we shouldn’t be cowards.

Quote
“At times, the bandits will only come with about three rounds of ammunition, when they fire shots everybody runs. In our younger days, we stand to fight any aggression coming for us.

“I don’t know why people are running from minor things like that. They should stand and let these people know that even the villagers have the competency and capabilities to defend themselves.
“If these people (bandits) know that the people have the competence and capability to defend themselves, they will run away.

“Our own duty is to ensure that no Nigerian is hurt, and we are capable of protecting the integrity of this nation and we’ll continue to do it even though we are so stretched.”

When asked if Nigeria should permit citizens to carry arms, Magashi said, “Even in the developed countries, they are still debating on it, whether to continue or not. But I don’t advise Nigeria to start issuing firearms for personal use.”
Magashi’s remarks comes after bandits struck at the Government Science College, Kagara, Niger state, where they abducted many schoolchildren.

Government is shifting its responsibility .So, yall got the guns and the armless masses should confront a bandit with a live bullet , is that what u just said ? Ok! And what about the guns in your possessions, why not just distribute it to every families and households to at least have one to defend themselves in the face of intrusion , because the guns Yall keeping with ya ain’t meaningful ,it’s a blatant waste of our resources .It will be more useful if y’all bunch of axx phuck can just let’s have it for self defense ,since y’all too stretch and too occupied protecting yourselves with our guns .I have never heard of this in any country of the world ,where a defense minister will carelessly make such irresponsible and thoughtless utterances.Nigeria is not just a failed state but a doomed state .This is the most funny of a joke I have heard in my four decades of existence.

The Niger Delta people did not wait for government to arm them. Let the Bandits try and attack Niger Delta, and see how many of the Bandits  will survive. The ND will not say "God Save Us".
