This is an attack on Freedom of speech

This is a drive to kill Social Media

They know the vast majority of people dont have ID Numbers because guess what.....they never carried out the exercise.

The Only thing that is linked to SIMS are BVNs

If FG can give out loans based on BVN what is stopping them from using it this time

They know we dont have IDs so they choose that instead

God bless you brother, Opresssion at it's peak

This is how the sane countries we want to emulate as a nation start to build their countries to a sane society they are today.

How?

By restricting a necessary service to IDs that were never properly administered in the first place?

rusher14:


In light of insecurity which pervades the Nigerian state, facilitated by unidentified individuals taking advantage of the mobile network and the anonymity the prevailing regime accords them, a most useful solution would be to tie phone lines to a database of identification on a national scale.

The ball is in your court, why do you disagree with the idea?

What has insecurity got to do with NIN? Is it because of NIN that bandits were able to kidnap 600 children & carry them into a bush? Is it because of NIN that govt can't trace d accounts of d sponsors of Boko Haram? What is d quality of d service u receive from ur service provider?

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

To frustrate Christmas celebration.
Abi if dey block your line u go fit chat online ?

By the time u go stand for nimc office for over a week you go forget say u wan celebrate Christmas.

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.

How many years does it take anyone to get his/her SIM card synchronized? Stop blaming govt in every step they make. Blame yourself for not doing the right thing at the right time. You still have over about 15 days to do the needful or get booted out.

kaduna closed up schools because of rising case of coronavirus, there have been deliberation about second locked yet the insensitive government want everyone to link their nin to simcard.

Do you know the kind of crowd that will full their office? Also, this is festive period. You don't give such directive in this time.

advice your paymasters properly

michoim:

Change your hypocritical name. You are an unfriendly friend of the government...

the government are the enemy of the masses! Two weeks? In this covid 19 period that some states are going for another lockdown, this fool APC miscreant minister want to jampack people at the telecom offices and is that a good idea at this period? In fact there is no sense in this homo sàpien...

MASTAkiLLAh:
Isa PANTami is a fůcking fóol if he thinks I'll use my Christmas holidays to do this nonsense, the demon should try this move instead on Mohammed's birthday not when Christians are going to be very busy. Who has strength to line up for hours bikonu plus the network mistakes that'll force you to go back to their office to rectify. Bastard fòol

He is a fanatic, an extremist. His extremism is out of this world. While he was a lecturer with ATBU Bauchi and patron to MSSN, he introduced some absurd rules, like:
-Do not wear shorts.
- Do not put on a face cap - but hausa cap is permitted
-No stylish haircut for male student.
- Do not put on sun shades.
-Do not hug a lady or hold her hands in public.
-Do not wear body hugs e.t.c

Na pvc I use register all my sim cards.

in fact you have said it all.... Is either they want to deliberately frustrate this festive period or they are fools...

Telecommunications companies will be laughing hard. I trust MTN not to succumb to this stupid ultimatum.
This kind of notice should not be less than one full year. But how could someone come up with such an idiotic order in this festive season? Incompetent fellows!

Good thiinking but i believe people at the corridor of power will be first culprit on this issue.

Security has everything to do with Mr. A being able to abduct an individual, requesting ransom be paid , networking with his henchmen all under the cloak of anonymity.

Should a database exist for all phone users, tied to unique and identifiable individuals, it would go a long way to reduce such crimes.

No single strategy can eradicate crime.

It takes a holistic approach and the contribution of the citizenry to address such.

If you are opposed to it, explain why .

I thought as much. Anyways, he won't have his way!

sekem:


So you suddenly realize that covid 19 second wave is real just because you don't want to go and upgrade your SIM information?

Laziness is a disease.

Laziness always make you to continue giving excuses upon excuses instead of getting the job done.

It's not like supplying your NIN will take up to 1 hour to accomplish, or is it?

Did you just arrive in Nigeria?

omenka:
Reasonable point.

How is his point reasonable? Any move to stop/reduce insecurity in the country is a welcome idea

Impossible, only 1/100000000 of sim users meet this requirement

Networks wouldn't dare, they will lose money and customers

senseless goverment

Excuzeme:


How many "sane" countries have you been to, that you are typing this sort of nonsense?
How many 'sane' countries do BVN the number of times Nigeria has done it and keep trashing it each time, while looting the money?
How many 'sane'countries do their citizens have to bribe Govt officials, to get registered on their national I.D?

Infact, you are not sane.

Are you just noticing his insanity today?

U haven't answered these:

Is it because of NIN that bandits were able to kidnap 600 children & carry them into a bush? Is it because of NIN that govt can't trace d accounts of d sponsors of Boko Haram? What is d quality of d service u receive from ur service provider?

infact Nigeria is a banana country it was the FG that said we should stay safe by maintain social distance they are now given a millions of sim cards user just two weeks to upgrade how do they want to do it? we don't have the right people in government at all

WHEN SALARIES WILL BE STOPPED AND BANK ACCOUNTS WITHOUT NIN NUMBERS CLOSED, PEOPLE WIL BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE DEEPER MOTIVE BEHIND THIS NIN NUM STUFF WHICH IS A GLOBAL THING. THE ANTICHRIST ALREADY HAS EVERY BODY IN HIS CAGE BUT THANK GOD HE CANT DECEIVE THE ELECTS.

Does it make sense to you to isolate a single case as the mother of all issues?

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.

Always Waking Up Late to Realities of Security Needs... but d Timing is very Bad with COVID-19 Resurgence can be a very Dangerous Exploits to undertake by this time...Pls

415volt:
@OP, add source please.

I will consider this a good step in the right direction.

How can u achieve this within 3 weeks window. And remember Nigeria is not automated country were u can just do this from the comfort of ur home.

Who will tell the people in the rural areas ? PANTami will just sit and be making directives.

IlovePMB:
Always on the wrong time of the year. Useless and insensitive government.



This policy is useless because it would put innocent people into trouble. Criminals would rob you of your phone and use it to make all the calls they need and throw your sim card away after they are done. The police would then arrest you.

Aboki remains Aboki.

Oh really? So how about you profer a better solution

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

I hope they do that it will be easier abge

lekki1444:
IS NIN THE SAME AS BVN ? me i dont have NIN but i have BVN

Bro it is self explanatory na. Obviously they are diff.
