DigitalyYours:
Very soon people will also submit their ATM PINS

Calitoscassius:
Not really, his whole paranoid, ignorant gullible comment are based on religious sentiments and God.

Splitmind:
This is a welcome development, anyone who refuses to register must be shot without trail.

Calitoscassius:
Total bulshit! You don't have to use a mobile phone it is not by force to use a mobile device either. So if you you don't want to give them your mobile IMEI don't use a mobile phone simple!! Next you will be the first to yap rubbish about insecurities in the country.


Even your so called sky God would have registered his mobile phone to stop insecurities in his sky country.


Rapture my butt!

MansoryMX:



Since a very long long time ago, Nigeria government no longer practice the constitution!

Charleys:
Which kind mad people wey Nigerians vote for government. So if I submit, I no go buy new phone again?

jaxxy:


U allow herdsmen and bandits to ravage the country then cry u want to fight insecurity by collecting out personal data?? Are u not a criminal??!!!!!

NobleDeSage001:
This announcement is so unnecessary.
As much as I know, the IMEI details of any mobile phone can be retrieved remotely without the knowledge of the phone's user.

The IMEI details of every mobile device that has ever hit or connected to a cell tower of a Nigerian mobile service provider is in their database.

What I expect the government to do is to ask the service providers to transmit such details to their own database and nobody will hear about it.

How do you think that Police detectives track criminals? They reach out to service providers, get the IMEI details of the phone and they start tracking the location based on which masts it connected to.

This government and their advisers eeh, una case don tire Nigerians.

MickzyDonald:

It's well bro

Pierocash:
They don't have to tell the masses to do that. Mobile Phone dealers are supposed to do that.

For every mobile imported into the country, a proper documentation of the IMEI should be carried out before selling out to the public.

Calitoscassius:
for your informations I am not in support of nigerian government collecting moblie phones IME1 they have no right to do that. They could not even provide common electricity. Only the law enforcement and they need warrant from the court to even do that. Get it!!

The reason for my response to that individual is because he claims that collecting data is beacuse RAPTURE is coming. What kinda paranoia is that?

If you call me a criminal i will take that as a compliment thank you!

phonesiq:

jaxxy:


Based on ur explanation, my apologies. And I was actually referring to them the government not particularly u.

Everything isn't about rapture bt sm people can’t help it.

Charleys:
Which kind mad people wey Nigerians vote for government. So if I submit, I no go buy new phone again?

Aduroja123:
The failure of the government to embark upon an effective database led them to this.


To me, it's a good move.

This will really create a pathway for them to further trap and entrap our human right even makes it easier for the government to shutdown the internet during any election thus eradicating transparency in the democratic system.
