Meet Joshua Nseabasi who inherited the late father Security Company , New National Star newspaper Esther Egbe engaged him recently about the security situation in Nigeria and more.
My name is Joshua Nseabasi I am Security specialist, contemporary Gospel singer, Songwriter, Music, Producer, Arranger (Music/Voice), Vocal coach, multi-instrumentalist and a Recording artist.
Wilnsa records and also runs a music teaching academy called Wilnsa School of Music under the group name Wilnsa international Nigeria Limited.
Well, Wilnsa International Nigeria Limited is the name of our Security company,it was registered by my late father in 1983 licensed by the then regulators Ministry of internal affairs which has now become interior ministry and that was before NSCDC were made the regulatory body. Before my father died, he made sure I had the idea of the business ,but after he died in 2005 I went further to study by running some security professional courses from diploma in security operation and management, advance diploma, Specialist class for corporate and industrial security. I didn’t stop there, I did PGD on safety and security management then also did BSC psychology etc. But even at that the challenges we face in the country and the world at large in terms of security will make us do more study as new threats surfaces and presently. I’m running a masters program on security. But I had to make sure I was fully ready before regularizing our documents to continue running in the country and to the glory of God by July our company will be 40-years -old in existence.
But all these was as a result of what my late father deposited in me. The late MKO Abiola was so instrumental in the success of my Father and even we his children.
Wilnsa international Nigeria limited. And of course you know different times and seasons comes with their own peculiar challenges so what I can say is that we are trying our best to give our clients professional services and in cases there are challenges we stand with our clients to fix the issues. We also have made sure we do not owe or pay our men late because that’s where the problem starts from and these men can end up becoming the problem, so we do a lot to keep them comfortable so that they can also do the job passionately. We send them on training and retrain on the job. We also make sure our certifications are up to date also getting more aware of the security challenges peculiar to these times and quickly proffer solutions to tackle it. Our watchword is making sure the lives, properties of our clients are safe and in most cases we communicate threats before it happens so our clients can be well informed while we both work together to curb those circumstances.
But the almighty God is our ultimate protector ,so we always rely on him as we do our very best physically.
We keep working hard and also hand in hand with the Nigerian Police force for the common purpose of abating, curbing and reducing crime.
We have a pension scheme for our men and also subscription with our insurers to come in easy in cases of theft and negligence on duty etc to keep our clients abreast without fear that their properties are in safe hands.
The issue of insecurity in Nigeria has become something of grave concern to all well-meaning citizens, most of whom continue to wonder how the country arrived at such a dastardly situation where no one is safe; and worse still, rather than abate, the problem is escalating and now totally out of control. Insecurity in Nigeria is a recurring phenomenon that threatens the well-being of its citizens.
The south-west of Nigeria is plagued by a surge in cybercrime, armed robbery, kidnapping, domestic crime, extrajudicial killings, herder-farmer conflicts, ritual killings, and banditry. The south-east is a haven for ritual killings, commercial crime, secessionist agitation, kidnapping, herder-farmer clashes, attacks by unknown gunmen, and banditry. The south-south remains threatened by militancy, kidnapping, and environmental agitation.
The north-east has been subject to a humanitarian crisis lasting over a decade and caused by the Boko Haram insurgency and the Islamic State in West Africa Province. Meanwhile, the north-west is enmeshed in illegal mining, ethnoreligious killings, and banditry. It is, therefore, that insecurity in Nigeria has assumed a soft spot in political stance and that it has claimed thousands of lives and extensive damage and loss of property.
Also, the Niger Delta communities, through several of these militias, protested the unjust and uncompensated exploitation of their natural resources now wholly owned by the federal government.
The militants attacked government security agencies, government infrastructure and installations, oil exploration installations of foreign multinational companies and continuously took several foreign oil workers hostage
We can go on and on. I think we need to come to the negotiating table, all regions I mean to really spell out what we can agree on to reduce drastically these challenges. Foreign powers seem to be another major force that’s made these escalated. Nigeria is for Nigerians so we must fight these problems ourselves. Our security forces have tried tirelessly to fight insecurity but without the contribution of our citizens then it will still be very challenging to win the battle tactically.
We also have to be several steps further so we get intelligence and act swiftly but all these will be easy when more support and funds are allocated to our security forces. Also I think at this point security solutions outfit should be given more powers to operate and help curb these rising security challenges.
Music is my connection with God. That’s my sacrifice for all the God has brought me through. I serve in church regardless of my schedule and that’s what’s keeps me connected. I’ve served in different capacities, play the keyboard,served as music director and it was music also that somehow connected me with great men. The present Vice President I served under him as a result of music, BPE director general etc to name a few your gifts will make a way you know. But what’s most important is that it keeps me connected with God and I love worshipping him and serving in his house anytime anyday. It really doesn’t affect anything. I remember while I served under Pastor Kayode pitan the MD BOI, at that time around 2008 he was a Bank MD yet you see him in church serving tirelessly without excuses of being too busy, when you become too busy for God then you’ll be blamed when trouble walks in. So I don’t do music for fun, I do music for service to God as my sacrifice.
