So will FG block all the northern numbers? Because aboki does not give a hoot about NIN and will definitely have a small phone for making and receiving calls. Unless FG wants to do selective blocking. Dey cannot do blanket blocking at all. Telecoms companies will easily fold up because majority of Nigerians are illiterates and do not know what NIN is or what it is for.

They gave everyone grace of time to link up, but some Nigerians are stubborn like goats

That's not even the issue. Bandits have been calling with phone numbers and none of them have been tracked with NIN. So what's the point?

lightheart:
True.
FG've been warning everyone since last year.

And who says you need NIN to track location?

Is this one well at all?

NIN obviously effectively assigns an identity to a phone user. Can you rule out the importance of an effective data system in combatting crime?

E be like say you don craze before?

DaveHarry:

Grateful02:
Naso,I dey sure say na u dey among 1st set wey link their NIN long ago.

Grateful02:
It worked? Glo customer care dey tell me say NIN details and sim registration details doesn't match and that I should go to their centre for update.

Starzo:


All the criminals/bandits they've been holding meetings with and paying ransoms to they couldn't apprehend them since ABI?...na nin go go help them arrest them...una nor wise at all

It will reduce the rate of insecurity. Even advance countries encounter some issues as regard security.
The essence of this is make everyone accountable. If you like register sim card with your NIN and give a friend to commit fraud or illegal act on it, you will be tracked and he will escape.
Now that every unlinked sim have been blocked, the communication link btw bandit and all sort of terrorist is broken.
They will have to get NIN and link with the sim before it can be used. With that connection, tracking them becomes so easy when they call for ransom . The image of the sim owner is already with the authorities.
With time, the rate at which people misbehave will reduce. Blackmail, Scam, Threatening of people via phone will definitely reduce.
We cant just fold our hands and do nothing.
Lets all support and try this measure first.
Only then we will know if it will work out fine or not.
Some people done have solution for what is happening and wont even support a profer solution.
May God help us in this country
