I thought the deadline for this NIN-SIM linkage thingy has elapsed.

What is this I'm reading here again?

So Nigerians have not finished linking their SIM with their NIN all these while? What does it even take to get this done? Is it not just a text message? That's just what I did, or is there something else in addition?

It’s not working for some people. I’ve tried probably like 10 times and mine won’t link

Bandits may use their victim's phones, or someone else's phone, or even buy a line that has been registered.

How many bandits do u know that have been caught through NIN/SIM linkage? All na wash
[quote author=kingscare1 post=111630894]It's a good thing in disguise.
That would stop using untraceable or unlinked or unrecognized numbers to do heinous crimes. To be frank with you, forget government incompetency, it's for a stronger national security and to stop crime.

When one does crime with a linked line, they security agency will catch the person through the recognised lines, if you escape, the catch your frequent calls or next of kin.

For me, it's good. All natural waste of time

Doesn't stop real criminals. What stops them from stealing people's phones and using the lines? Moreover, the government also pays ransom to these guys so who are they deceiving. It will help catch low level criminals. The bandits and high end criminals have government contacts and will keep going scot free until Nigeria gets it right.

Shameless set of people with zero priority and policy - Naija airlines double tickets price, they did nothing about it - Dollar is now very much comfortable at #570, they did noting about it - Private business owners are now folding up because of cost in running their production via outrageous price of diesel, they did nothing about it - Economy of the nation declined by 21% daily, they did nothing about it - Security and well being of Nigerians are threatened daily, they did nothing about it - They only thing all this clueless people can talk about is how to block ppls line - What a shame!!

All these things you spoke about fall under 4 ministries. Now we have about 21 ministries. According to you all other ministries and their ministers should do nothing because we have these problems

what's yo stop kidnappers from collecting victims phones to call?

It's all nonsense if you think it properly.

What they should have done was to install security cameras. They didn't.

They should have armed forces patrolling the rail ways and other hot spots.

They won't do that.

They know where these kidnappers lodge in the forest, nothing is done about it.

But hey, sim linked with NIN will solve all the problems. Bunch of fo0ls in power

seriously.

How do you imagine that a kidnapper will use his own sim card to call for ransom?

Ordinary truecaller will do this thing they are spending billions upon.

I believe they had to take this decision because of the rising insecurity.

It will help alleviate the problem of insecurity.

A country where nothing works. I called MTN recently because more than a year after receiving confirmation of my SIM-NIN linkage, my calls were still being delayed by that voice telling me to link my sim. Their response was that, although I had done the linkage, NIMC was yet to confirm. A whole year later! Terrible.

Criminals have not been perpetrating crimes with lines linked to NIN because the lines they use have not been linked and those lines have been working.

They will now be handicapped because those lines will stop working and they will begin to seek alternatives.

Bro I tell u.Nigeria would have been great if this Northerners are excluded but sometimes I remember some intelligent wizard Northerners I have worked with,sometimes I believe their religion clouds their mind but I still see Intelligent Moslems,so is like we are engaged with many Almajiri graduates that are ignorant.
