Simple thing, they blow it out of proportion. If your child is below 18, get him/her a Sim card in your name. Simple as that, when he/she becomes of age to take full responsibility of his/her actions, the person can walk into any service provider office and get as many sim as possible within the law.

But it is permissible for a 12yr old girl to be married out...

Just to explain something for clarity NCC is quoting all the sections in the constitution.

after rigmarolling you only just said same thing Punch published only that you added a little information for clarity

All Federal institutions in Nigeria today hates the Punch with passion all just to please their Fulani heads and masters.

Nonesense!!!

It is an unwritten law in the northern part of Nigeria...

Mostly practiced by islamist...

Will this not fuel crime etc. So anyone claiming to be a parent can have multiple sims with different child photos on them. Who doesn't see the loopholes here?

No loophole bro. If you like register 100 sims for Children that are not yours in your name

but if any of them commits crimes on that SIM, you will be held responsible

Says who?

I said go and bring him, or should I give you my number to tell where he is?

In less than hour, he will be arrested, and in less than 72 hours he will be in court and in less than a week he will be punished

They didn't make the law. The constitution said only 18 and above can legally enter into a contract. Buying SIM and using is a contract between subscriber and service provider. So, they are reminding service providers to follow the law and stop entering contract with minors who can't enter a contract legally
Have you ever heard of contract of necessity?
A minor can actually enter into a contract under such circumstances. Can we then describe owning a SIM card as one? I want to believe every sane human in this age will say YES

Two wrongs cannot make right, I am am against under age marriage but that is not to say every aspect of the society should be thrown into lawlessness. While we are speaking and fighting against under age marriage, we have to uphold any law that protect the minor. In fact, the NCC restrictions on Sim acquisition by a minor is a plus to the fight against under age marriage.

Makes sense, cos a minor can be easily tricked to give up his sim document, this will reduce use of others sim to commit crimes.

As long as the parent or guardian can get a SIM for a minor, it is no longer a necessity. Or is it still one?
They are not asking minors not to use cards, just for them not to buy it on their own

This is from Naptu2

I realised what was happening not long after I heard the news. I was expecting this clarification, although I don't believe the justification that's in the press release.



It was reported that the NCC had banned people below the age of 18 from owning SIM cards. Several reactions followed immediately in my mind. From the initial emotional, "Why would they do that"? to the sensible consideration of the reasons why people below 18 should own a mobile phone. It's very important for their safety. They can use it to contact their parents/adults if there's a problem and their parents/adults can track them. . .and that's when it struck me.


You see, I was thinking of the dangers that a minor could be in that would require them to contact their parents by phone and then I immediately remembered the reason that we are required to register our SIMS. It then occurred to me that criminals could use the phones of minors to commit crimes and of course, the minors cannot be held responsible. Then, finally it occurred to me that the NCC would not want someone that cannot be held responsible for such offenses to own a phone. The simple solution is to have the phones registered by the parents or guardians of the minor. (All these flashed through my mind in a few seconds).

It's like you don't get it.
Using of a communication gadget is a necessity, contract under such circumstances can be entered into by a minor without the parents consent.
You might have to check for the legal basis under contract law of various jurisdiction.
If there should be a SIM loss while the child is in school, who retrieves the SIM?
If the parents are residing in another country but wants their children to imbibe the Nigerian culture, hence sending such child to a Nigerian institution, who registers the SIM?

18 years can't work cuz it would render some other policy null and void

1. Waiting till you turn 18 years in order to go to a higher institution
2. In other to open a bank account
3. In other to get a passport

To do this three things you need a nin, and to a get nin you need a phone number
