(I had to bring this here first to get clarity from others before we go take it up with them at the Local Government Office).

A friend of mine just got his NIN slip from his local government office. To my surprise, the slip he was given looks like something that was photocopied, but he was told that it was printed directly from the computer. There are obvious discoloration marks on it that can only come from photocopy machines and not from printers.

My own sister has done her NIN and her own slip obviously looks like the original copy, the NIN logo on the back is in color and there are no photocopy discoloration marks on the paper.

off course, things can be printed in white and black, but not with photocopy marks.

The question that worries me is, if he was given the photocopy, where and who has the original. Obviously, the original copy exists because you can only make a photocopy from an original hard copy.

My suspicion is that the original copy was printed out and then photocopied, then only the photocopy was given to him, but why would they do this and lie to him that it was the printed copy. Why was the original copy not given to him and What do they plan to do with it?

Please people, Is this something my friend should worry about or am I being unnecessarily concerned about it?

Same was given to my wife last year, after they told her to come back in 2 weeks and also for the people present to contribute 300 each to buy fuel if not no printing.

God help Nigeria

Is that no fraud? Why will they print out a hard copy and then give you a photocopy. What do they intend to do with the original copy?

Citizens of Nigeria are rogues... With the exception of few!

Inside life

Hmmm

it's normal

It was printed with a bad black and white printer..

He has the number, capish..

Finish

That's what was given to majority of people. A printout.

Payment

But God will not help them, the country is beyond redemption

The one given to him is the temporal one, he should return back in a week or less for the original copy.

Your friend is worried about a series of useless digits? Photocopy or not. It's the number that's the important thing there.

Na the NIN digit be the koko


Meanwhile shey na all owner of cars at ikorodu knows how to drive? Don't you guys need driver as car owners demand across all area of lagos state?

Nothing to bother about. Plus stop attempting to make a mountain out if a mole hill.

Your friend own was even better mine was photocopied with no logo at the back

The original will take him to hell

not new. mine is same

Shey!

It's the printer error, no color. The NIN is obvious, isn't it? So no problem.

It's not photocopy. It depends on where you get your slip from. When I got my initial slip from the NIMC HQ it was the one with colour and heavy paper. However when I went to a center for a reissue, it was this type of print out they gave. The back is that way because they photocopy the NIMC logo on to the paper before they print your details on to it.

. Do not worry! Many have same issue. The printer is not good again. If you go to another place for a reprint it will be clearer. Mine is not as clear as that of my twin brother.You can go for a reprint anywhere and anytime you feel like doing so

That's how it is Mr WOKE.

You get the Original plastic one in 10-20 years time
