Just got this information and think I should
share for verification ....
Money the root of all evil
Na wa o. Nobody pays for BVN in Nigeria. Yet
Nigerians in the UK are asked to bring £30 for
BVN to fill a small form which takes less than
5 minutes. Na wa o. Some people try to make
money from anything.
The address to go to for this exercise is No.
56 to 57, Fleet street, London. This is an
address belonging to the Nigerian High
Commission in London, our Country's fully
funded mission in the UK.
Bank Verification Number (BVN) enrollment is
a Federal government/Central Bank initiative
available to all Nigerians to register freely to
help the CBN administer banking more
securely. Despite this being a public service
matter, Nigerians still attempt to exploit and
take advantage of other Nigerians in their
vulnerable state. Is it because it will cost
money and time to travel to Nigeria to do it?
The Nigerian BVN enrollment exercise in the
UK is being done through a private UK
Company. The question is, why should the
Banker to the Federal Government of Nigeria
(the CBN) with all resources available to it
(human, financial and technology) contract a
third party Company to do a task freely
performed by banks in Nigeria?
A good number of Nigerian Banks have
branches in the UK who can more efficiently
provide the same service for nothing as they
do in Nigeria or at worst at a nominal fee. In
Nigeria, one can go to any Bank to enrol for
BVN for free and not necesssarily your own
bank.
Not so in the UK, since millions of Nigerians
from all over the UK have to go to one office
in Fleet street, London. A recipe not only for
exploitation but also for choas quite
characteristic of how we do things since we
only look at the money angle at the greatest
inconvenience and to the economic detriment
of the same people we claim to serve.
Must we monetise everything and make life
more difficult for so-called brethren we
pretend to love each Friday and Sunday?
Does it mean when Nigerians in the UK
eventually get the right to vote in Nigerian
elections, this will also be privatised and
Nigerians in the UK and elsewhere abroad will
also be told to pay for it? Would that not be
ridiculous? This is no different.
When do we stop worshiping this money and
really face the God that we profess each
Friday and Sunday to love? Can we love HIM
when we cannot treat ourselves justly even
when we have the opportunity to do so. Na wa
o. Baba dey sidon look us.
If this makes any sense, kindly share until it
gets to those in government, the permanent
secretary Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the High
Commissioner in London and to proponents of
change in Aso Rock.
BVN is free.
Teacher no teach-ee me nonsense.
