Good one, the ones in PH should also be monitored, during the lock down I was asked to bring 10k for instant processing of NIN,
What fu'ckery?

Sadly, this won’t deter them because there are people who are willing to compromise them so as to get their NIN sharply.

We all want a better Nigeria without trying to be better Nigerians. If things must work fine everywhere in Nigeria, we must all start behaving better. While we keep telling government officials to shun bribe taking, we must also tell Nigerians who are beneficiaries of government services to stop compromising government officials.

Most all the staff collected money, a school close to my house paid #100k to register their pupils. I paid 1k to registered

You're right, if no one is paying then they would stop asking.
But sadly Nigerians always love jumping the queue and hate due process.

Every opportunity in Nigeria is an avenue of making money.

Greed runs in the veins of an average Nigerian, that is just the way it is. No amount of prayer or fasting can remove it.

They collect money by proxy now. These guys a re good at their job. 2k to get appointment

A serious government always when enacting a policy always put checks in place

These people behave as if they don't know the average Nigerian's mentality, like they don't mingle, relate at all with citizens


You increase petrol price or reduce it, agents should be dispatched to monitor fuel stations, same way other agents should monitor the agents previously deployed

You force Nigerians to do NIMC by force by fire agents should have been deployed to monitor registration centers, bad Nigerians will profit from the rush,


I kind of feel like this government never thinks anything through

Stupid govt demanding bvn to do nin. Even when they know they cant secure data.


All una bvn details dey dark web, make I just tell una so

Audio suspension. Who and who were suspended? A circular that most NIMC offices will throw into dustbin.
Name the suspended staff for others to learn.

To some of you, It is always about the government and never about the people doing the wrong thing. If government have to send agents to every single petrol station, NIMC registration center, Disco, Embassy, Immigration office, Custom office, FIRS office, etc before Nigerians can do things properly, it shows something is definitely wrong somewhere. Can we even afford such a huge monitoring cost?

See, the change we want begins with each and everyone of us. The government is a product of the society and a reflection of who we are as a people. If we want Nigeria to work, we the people of Nigeria must make it work and not the other way round.

This Issa Pantami guy is taking everything like war....

Few months ago when I did my NIN at Oyo State Secretariat , DSS were literally on ground,

I still paid bribe and got smuggled in, Foolish officials asked if anybody extorted me and I said fvck NO... But with little money I got in and got out real quick, capturing was fast



.

Good

Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the world. After they'll be complaining about government, yet the citizens are even more corrupt! This country is finished!

very good if it's actually true . those guys are mean , their bosses too should be suspended and sack . omo the extortion is just too much .

No staff mentioned. No scapegoat. Mtchew
Extortion continues

You must punish some people, otherwise extortion will not stop.

we are doomed.
we see everything as opportunity to milk ourselves.
I hail una ooo

When are they going to do the same for immigration officials?

The problem is that citizens are supporting them

Selfish employees
