Wait! which sim cards are they talking about?
Because all my registered sim cards are not linked with NIN.

Which kind level be this... No be everybody get NIN na

That doesn't still guarantee the security of the country. The way they just dish out notice to be carried out within short period of time is what baffles me.

Ok. It is noted.

Na wa ooo

I actually don't know their major aim for this development....

Why not ban mobile network and start your own
Awon werey

A great move.
We hope this policy will bring end to kidnapping

Now crowd will be all over telecom company. This government is insensitive

I think a simple google form can be careful used to achieve this purpose rather than everyone going to the network providers office to carry out this.

Except they want to give us the rest of the year work free just to go do this

lol. We all know it wont work, first na delete of sim sales, now this one . Well seems like we would be going back to the old days of letter writing and posting cos soon he go wake up say phones are banned . Are we in 1991 or what.

this people no get conscience i swear ra gad!

thou i know its for proper i identification and possibly to reduce crimes like kidnapping and banditry, but there are better ways to go about it to prevent massive crowds at sim registration centers - OR HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN THE COVID STUFF??

THEY CAN JUST CREATE AN USSD CODE THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TEXT YOUR NATIONAL ID NUMBER USIN YOUR PHONE TO SO AND SO NUMBER. THE NETWORK WILL AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD YOUR DETAILS FROM NIN SERVER AND ATTACH IT TO YOUR SIM. SIMPLE!

GOVERNMENT CAN EVEN GO FURTHER BY VERIFYING IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BY SCANNING BVN NUMBERS TO MAKE SURE IT TARRIES WITH THE DETAILS SENT THRU THE SIM- IN FACT, IT CAN EVEN USE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO UNIFY A CITIZENS NATIONAL PASSPORT, DRIVERS LICENSE, NHI AND SO ON BY JUST DOWNLOADING THE REQUIRED INFO AND MERGING IT.

AND IN FEW MONTHS FROM NOW I KNOW VACCINATION CERT NUMBER WILL ALSO BE ATTACHED TO NIN - IF YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED, YOU WILL BE DECLARED WANTED AND ARRESTED.






one world government here we come - if you know you know.

.

What will happen to many Southerner without National ID?

.

This is crazy! What of those that registered with their driver's license?

Stupid people...

Excellent move..but 2weeks is to small.

Hopefully customers will be able to do it using USSD code

bvn ko

Good move.

We need to tame evils like Yahoo etc in Naija

SAMAJ:
Following the earlier directive on the suspension of new SIM registration by network operators, the Federal government has directed all operators in the country to disconnect every SIM card not synchronized with valid National Identity Number (NIN) by December 30th 2020.


This came after an urgent meeting of key stakeholders in the Communications industry convened by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami) on Monday, December 14, 2020.

The meeting in its resolution insisted that all telecom operators must from Thursday, December 16, 2020 require all their subscribers to provide valid National Identification Number (NIN) to update SIM registration records.

How many people have they given the NIN or would get the NIN by Dec 30, 2020?
These fools Buhari appoint to offices just make laws without using their senses.
To get that NIN is like getting American Visa, those in the place will frustrate the effort, so they can request and be bribed.
What about those countries, even in the West, where you can still buy or get a SIM Card free, without any registration and you just load credit and use it, how come they dont have a bad security situation like Nigeria?

How many times have Nigerians registered for all these BVN, NIN, Voters Card and other digital identification methods over the years?
Why cant they operate a single database that is safe and secure and share the data among themselves instead of wasting our time, queuing for one form of I.D or the other?
Brainless 'leaders' that over 300 students got snatched right under their nose and they cant even deploy Drones to monitor the movement of the kidnappers and the children, from the air, so they can ambush them where necessary or block their movements.

Ha! This is serious, millions of lines will be blocked

olatade:
They should bare it in mind that covid 19 is on a second wave invasion. This is not the time to jam pac the offices of telecom operators and 2 weeks is to short to synchronise millions of customers.

Our government with their "unconcerned with citizens plight" decisions!!!

jlinkd78:
Telecom providers should send a link through SMS for this updating and should not be through jam-packing of their offices

I quite agree with the above suggestions.
But why is Minister of Communication- Patami behaving like an Emperor on issues that touches Nigerian? Two Months is not sufficient to clear all the backlog involving the Telecommunications.
When last did you even hear about stakeholders Forum in his department,except when they want to show Mr Buhari that they are in charge,which is fake anyway.You must show empathy to the Masses at all times.

So we should go and queue up at the various Telecoms offices because of NIN-SIM synchronization or what despite the second wave of Convid19? let the gsm coys give us a SMS code to do it online or via text.

This people wan turn us to slaves in this country by force but there plans won't work las las

How many Rural dwellers even have that NIN to start with

Buhari Boko Haram Govt.

Anything "Western" is bad.

Ordinary days, go to telecommunications office and see how people are struggling to do one of two things. Not even to talk of useless two weeks you are giving a country above 190m 2weeks to go and present their National Id Number I'm sure you people know we only have 16days to round the year up Xmas/New year is on already...
NIN office are still owing millions of Nigeria up till today did you think about that before posting this at all...

Who send una?

The telecoms company will not agree because they stand to loose billions as in billions which of course means ncc will equally loose billions
