All my NYSC allowee is in my zenith bank and thy refuse to give me Bvn claiming that I have done it someone else.. this is fustrating and won't go well with this fraudulent government if they confiscated my hard hearned allowance..

omokab:
I have already answer your question before when I said that those in prison or living abroad who have no opportunity to come home and do their Bvn should go to court and seek for court order to attenticate their reason for not coming home during the exercise. Majority of the money we are talking about is in million and billions. If not in prison and you have five million of naira in your account and the money is genuine please what are you doing in abroad that will not make you not to come home and do the Bvn. Am sure the majority of them,let say 95 percent will never come and ask for it again in life. If a civil servant can have 100 million in account, do you think he will ever come for it again? Where would he say he get it from? These are the money belonging to federal or state government or possibly money they suppose to give the government employee but will keep in sepate accoint for some years to yield interest and if no question on it again they will withdraw it and clean mouth.

Mama Piss and Mrs Diezani, Sarekiri must be part owners in such unclaimed monies.

It is hard for these three not to have hands in huge money laundering cases in Nigeria.

sniperr007:


Do u know the impact it has on the banks? Billions will b wiped out their books.

Meaning sone banks can fail, sack workers,not loan money etc.

Final conclusion, the economy will tank...
remember that we claim to b outta recession becos oil price has stabled btw 50-55 dollars so imagine I the banks starts to struggle.

guapac:


And please what happens to accounts of those who are abroad and have not been to Nigeria since this issue of BVN.

omokab:
I got your point it doesn't work like that. What about the dead ones that their family don't even have knowledge of their money and bank has been using their money to borrow customers over a years? What about criminal activity perform by these banks for intentional collecting looted money from government official and managing for them? Most of the money we are talking about, banks know the owners of them but they will never mention them. Please don't pity them they know what they are doing. To those on abroad I will say they should go to court to get justice for the money they laboured for. Banks in Nigeria should practise real banking system not thief banking system. What about unnecessary deduction banks were deducting from customers accoint. Time is coming for that too. You also mentioned recession. It can never cause recession for the fact that the money will be kept with CBN and manage by federal government to finance capital project or possibly used to offset some debt. Mismanagement is what can cause economic problem.

seunmsg:


Government is talking about accounts not linked to BVN at all. If you have lost your BVN number, simply go back to your bank and get it.

I really don't see why some so called analyst are against this move. If government don't take custody of the funds, the banks will use it as they like forever. The funds in the unlinked accounts have been there since 2015 without anybody claiming it. Government should take custody of the funds and use it judiciously for the good of the entire country few people .

gabe:
I'm seeing very vacuous arguments against the move. Anyone in Nigeria without a BVN linked to his/her account at this time after about 2-3 years of announcements, adverts and deadlines is DEFINITELY hiding something. Even old people in the village came out to queue when I did my BVN. We have heard stories of how banks help corrupt govt officials launder funds. No way they are linking accounts like that to BVN. One investigation in benue state revealed the ex governor Suswam parked about N18 billion in a first bank account. Till tomorrow, nothing has been done about that money. Kudos to the FG. This move is long overdue.

Bolustical:
If not the fact that such monies were gotten through illegal means, why would anyone to leave his money unidentified and unclaimed since BVN commenced way back in 2014?

This is a right step in the right direction.

Wire wire guys and bank manager's right now

erico2k2:

see you, wire wire guys get BVN, infact nah dem first us get

aolawale025:
Accounts are not linked to BVN due to various reasons. The FG should have identified the accounts they want to target. Not a blanket order

somehow:
Then don't complain if no one comes forward to claim the money when you die na. Govt will claim all unclaimed monies instead of leaving it to the banks to enjoy alone.

what happens to the account when you become vegetable or dead

What about those that have lost their BVNs?

This ruling is divorced from reality, there are a whole lot of old fashioned bank users not in tune with modern technology and needing to catch up

I don't see the benefit of this policy other than another example of a government that lacks human face.

This is all Buhari knows how to do, seize seize and seize. He does not create or improve anything!

Does Buhari know what a BVN is? Does Buhari know how to use ATM? Does Buhari use internet banking? For Buhari he has a lot of aides to do these things. Most older Nigerians don't and may not have a helper.

This people really need to get real

KAYCEEJUNIOR:
If una collect death people money, you are compiling more problem to una administration, una think say na Looted funds. Instead of to advice banks to contact the next of kin to the account holder and monitor the process through Efcc, y'all went into action to even steal from the death.

nams77:

his is day light robbery! You have the effrontery to say this trash because it is not your money. There are several scenerio that can make a depositor not to do his/BVN. I know of a man down with stroke since 2012. He can't go out, so you want him to forfeit his hard earned money? What of those who are paralyzed, in prison(wrongly or rightly) or those who are in diaspora before the BVN stuff came up. I also know a lady who has about 9k in fidelity bank. She has not done BVN because she has no valid ID card yet.
Most of your guys are really funny (Python1 and cleverly). You are saying this rubbish because it is your Lord that is on the throne. If this was enacted by some other leaders, you would have screamed blue murder!
I have words for you guys though, a day of reckoning is coming. Karma is a b*ch

leofab:
All my NYSC allowee is in my zenith bank and the refused approving my Bvn claiming that I have done it elsewhere.. this is fustrating and won't go well with this fraudulent government if they confiscated my hard earned allowance..

kettykin:
wow so what happens to families of those who died with their money in bank yet to be claimed by their respective families , any way hank God this is happening before this present generation tht seems to have forgotten about the past 20 pounds policy. Nigeria will alway be Nigeria , how come foreign banks dont implement this kind of policies

Jerrypolo:


Do you still have the SIM with which you opened the account with?

If yes, look for their mobile banking code (*737# GTBank) and follow the prompt.

There's a section for linking your BVN. Follow through with whatever it says and wolla! you are registered.

At this point, I will advice you to follow the code again and do an online transfer to a safe and dully registered account.

Go get it done and come thank me later.

Note:

I am speaking from experience as my over half a Milly was holed up in GTB prior to stumbling on help like you just did.

I know how you feel.

leofab:
Thanks
