If you look at the bouncing profession from when it started in the 1960s and 1970s,you will agree with me that a lot has changed in the security industry compared to some years ago, when they were known as bodyguards.

Bouncers these days are usually dressed in combat jacks, cargo pants, short or long sleeves, turtleneck tops, dark shades, hand-cloves,gadgets, guns (those licenced to own one), face masks (not always), boots, or heel canvas. Neatly dressed in an all-black uniform.

There are agencies that are strictly focused on training you to become a professional bouncer. The training may take 3–6 months and includes tasks that will require your intellectual skills, physical strength, and others. After your training, the agency can employ you or give you a referral to any big organization or influential individual who needs your services.

Bouncing is a lucrative profession for one to venture into, looking at the prospect and awareness the security industry is creating due to the insecurity in our nation. In the future, the country will have more security agencies.

Per Second News asked Mr. Samson Duru, who is a bouncer at a nightclub in Abuja, how his job works and if he earns well.

He said: ‘’This job is a good career and can earn you a lot of money, but it depends on who you are working with or under which agency you operate.

He further explained that an individual can stand on his own without being under any agency that collects a certain percentage of the salary.

“I am under an agency, but not on salary; I am paid based on the number of events I attend, and at times I go to the club.

“But you can’t compare it to the likes of those celebrity bouncers like Kelvin Atoniloye (Kizz Daniel’s bouncer), Roy Emmanuel (Wizkid’s bouncer), and Tijani Dmw (Davido’s bouncer), who earn millions.”

Places where bouncers can work are nightclubs, bars, concerts, casinos, events, and restaurants. sporting events, personal security aides, etc.
It is instructive to note that to be a bouncer, your physical fitness and stoutness are important.
