Counting population does 3 key things
1: Determines which region the national economic resources are prioritized to
2: Determines Political scales
3: Federal Appointments

You're over thinking it.

NIN is not for counting population. The primary aim is to get a National identity card.

Population counting is different as it include both children of all ages.

[quote author=mu2sa2 post=97902595]Each staff should link the Sim to his/her NIN. If the Sims were registered embloc by the company, individual staff will perhaps re-register the Sim in their own names before linking with NIN.. [/quoted not well

Makes no sense and the who thing was not well thought through.

Why will and individual link his personal NIN to a Business Line that belongs to a company?

Also what happens to the elderly ?

People with disability?

People in hospitals and also incapacitated people?

People in Diaspora? The so called centres outside Nigeria practically exist by audio names and not operational

Yet the deadline is looming in a few weeks.

What a bunch of idiots our decision makers are.

The NIN is nothing but a Unique identifier of one centrally within Nigerian records and database.

The linking to SIM cards was brought about because of the high kidnapping rate.

They concluded if they can link individuals to their respective SIM numbers, they can trace most of the kidnappings happening

What they did not think of its not a 2 month plan , need to be well implemented

Thats the problem with our country , plans are not well thought about

If you still believe 7 sims per person is not too small, it's either you don't run businesses or you've not worked/managed a big company before.
In this age of Internet Of Things, a sim card is needed to connect many of the IoT devices. Someone mentioned about having a fleet of 45cars with car tracker installed on each. For those of you who fail to understand the genuine concern, imagine that this businessman with 45cars also runs a generator sales business, a laundry shop, and a pure water factory. He needs different customer care lines for each of those businesses. Only customer care lines can be up to 2 or 3, depending on the size of the business. He can't link those lines to staff NIN because they can be fired or resign anytime.
Also, If you're a netpreneur who's business needs constant availability of data, you will find it wise to have the 4 networks so you can switch when one is acting up.
Since the major reason behind this linking is to checkmate criminals using phone lines to commit crimes, even if one person decides to own a million sim cards, they can all be traced to him if any of them is used to commit a crime. If at all there would be limits, it should be something higher to accommodate genuine business people and companies.

Doesn't answer my questions

I get small free time

Question 1: Did u just drop from d sky or from a different planet?
Answer 1: Planet Earth - Nigeria

Question 2: Does this grammar work in Nigeria?
Answer 2: It is applied in Nigeria by the Federal Government - It is rooted in how many LGAs you have in your state juxtaposed with the population count (estimated)

Question 3: Where have seen d above u wrote practicalised in Nigeria?
Answer 3: https://yourbudgit.com/

Question 4: what benefit is what u wrote to d average nigerian?
Answer 4: It was meant for the poster not Average Nigerians unless you mean to say that the poster is a dullard and Nigerians are dullards as well being the "average"

Perhaps as a Nigerian - you should pay close attention to Election numbers (rigged or otherwise)

Not well thought at all. Even d kidnapping reason is a ruse. It's d same way they said BVN will be used to stop d same kidnapping, internet fraud& corruption but here we are. Nothing has changed. NIN will not stop kidnapping

What sharing formula was used here?:

https://www.thecable.ng/3557-in-kano-3131-in-lagos-fg-releases-sharing-formula-for-first-batch-of-covid-19-vaccine-doses

Does Lagos State get more federal appointments more than Kano because of it's population or does Kano get more federal appointments than Lagos or any other state because of it's 44 LGAs?

For your number 2 answer which says:

"Answer 2: It is applied in Nigeria by the Federal Government - It is rooted in how many LGAs you have in your state juxtaposed with the population count (estimated)"

This report says something different:
https://nairametrics.com/2020/01/15/states-receive-n2-53-trillion-allocation-in-2019/


According to u, population count "determines which region the national economic resources are prioritized to".

Not sure which economic resources have been moved to a particular region in recent times as a result of population count

Seriously? undecided

A friend of mine who’s an engineer went up north for a building work and was returning with this Toyota hiace bus along with 2 of his workers and he told me that while passing somewhere in Adamawa state their bus was stopped by immigration officers who demanded they all come down and show their ID’s.

He couldn’t hold his surprise when he noticed that out of the 18 passengers on board it was just him and his two colleagues who had valid sources of identification. The rest were apparent northerners who couldn’t even speak English and didn’t even have phones talk more of ID cards.

After bribing the immigration guys they were all told to enter the bus and continue their journey to the south.

Now let’s do some maths :

One hummer bus passed with 15 apparent immigrants. If 100 passes in a day that’s 1,500 immigrants. (Just for hiace only oh)

What of Sienna? Commuter? Private? Etc all carrying their own various amounts of immigrants?

I project at least 10,000 immigrants coming soy that per day from one particular route from the north in Nigeria today. And this is very worrying.
I hope this NIN and SIM palava isn’t a ploy to grant them automatic citizenship via one mago-mago way or another
Ans what you dont know is 90% of those so called Northerners aint even from 9ja! They are from Niger Republic, they normally pay 2k to Immigration office to allow them enter 9ja boarders.

There is no anywhere u can find even five northerners now without phone or valid identification card.
What about the voters card that the northerners largely possessed?

I suspect this is an attempt to count population with a new method. They might just take count of NINs and ask for family details.

Are we not in the technology age, why do we have to do a physical head count while we can actually use NIN
