RULE 2: Be friendly but not excessively sociable

When you successfully strike a balance between making everyone feel happy about you and flirting around, then your security is assured. Always ensure that you greet and return people’s greetings. Try to know and relate well with people who live around you. Avoid unnecessary hangouts at beer parlous, clubs and dance halls. These places have unfortunately become the breeding grounds for cultists and their activities.

RULE 3: Engage in healthy social or Religious activities

Let people around you know that your interest lies in what does not sooth them. By going regularly to church or mosque for prayers, by joining sport teams and engaging in some useful ventures that capture your whole time and attention, they would not have any need to pay you a visit.

RULE 4: Avoid flamboyant public spending and dress codes

Your method of spending reveal a lot about what you are. Therefore, be careful the way you carry yourself to avoid being spotted from among the crowd of local residents.
