All those that SUCCESSFULLY applied as any of the functionaries in the various states and the APC must have gotten their messages by now.


If your application was “SUCCESSFUL,” but you have not gotten any messages yet,, then you need to send them a message on Facebook, telling them that you didn't receive any messages, and then, include your Registration i.d-number, your name, and your State.

(They are good enough to be responding to people’s messages on Facebook.)


It is now up to them to tell you what exactly that went wrong with your application..

ONE DAY OF THE TRAINING DON ALREADY PASS BE THAT OOO..
FOR THOSE WEY NO GET THE MESSAGE, START ASKING QUESTIONS VERY QUICKLY OOO..

ojoro

This nonsense census is another avenue to siphon money and a complete waste of money. How does this add to our economy?

Do we need such waste at this time?

Hmm

zoming into 4000meter from satellite

Ok ooo

It still doesn't make any sense to me why we are budgeting billions of naira on headcounts when we have BVN, NIN, and PVCs.

Can't we synchronise this data, get people below 18 to register for NIN and get our actual population in this country?

Why do we always look for avenues to waste money in a country where 133 million people live in multidimensional penury?

I don't want complain that they didn't pay you..

Children have birth certificates, yet they wanna count per head. so they can include Chad and Niger..

Okay oo

Hi everyone, I applied as an enumerator and till now my status have not been approved what could be the problem ??

It doesn't directly add to the Economy true true..


But in Reality, Censuses help in the PROPER PLANNING OF THE ECONOMY..

So, stop asking what it adds.
It doesn't add.
It helps in the proper planning of the ones we already have.

The BVN and NIN and PVCs cannot provide the demographic details as well as the migratory details of the Population..



The Census is going to take into consideration, the Place of Origin and the Place of Permanent Residence of Citizens, as well as the reasons for the migration.
It will also count houses, and and take note of their types, sizes, and functions.
Thus, this particular Census is also going to expose the number of unoccupied houses in Nigeria..


As for the 133 million people...
What if the result of this Census comes out, and the value changed.?
With this Census, we want to be quoting the correct figures -- going forward.

..





DUE TO THE TYPE OF DATA THAT IS GOING TO BE COLLECTED DURING THE CENSUS, IT IS BEST THAT CITIZENS STAY AT THEIR PLACES OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR THE CENSUS..
THERE IS NO NEED TRAVELLING TO YOUR PLACE OF ORIGIN, SINCE THE CENSUS WILL GET THE INFORMATION FROM YOU DURING THE COUNT, AND ALSO THE REASON WHY YOU ARE NOW PERMANENTLY BASED IN THE NEW LOCATION.

Hahaha I laugh ooo. Census that will never come out with a statistically correct data.
Chai, please go back to history and tell me any Nigerian census that have helped planning.

People simply want to create an avenue to steal money simple.

You know that the allocations to states are never equal, and they are not based on land-size.
They are based on population.

And the population data we are using in Nigeria is an interpolation and intrapolation (that is, a holistic combination) of the data from all the former Censuses that had been conducted (whether their data were statistically correct or not).

Now, tell me, the prior “sharing” of the various allocations before the disbursement, is that not enough to be known as “PLANNING”.??


As for your last line, nobody is disputing that.

Hmmn

Why are you wasting your time on people that continue to show their ignorance on social media ?
This is exactly what they are saying before not having any truist in an electioneering in Nigeria. Because of that, most of them do not have PVC.
They sit back until the riftraff are elected as leaders and later complain the country is bad.

Unfortunately for you and me,, those previous ones they did were what the government is using to plan the economy..
And that's what the other countries and the international community is relying upon in doing anything with Nigeria as a PEOPLE.

OyeofIkoTuN:

They have our NIM,Voters card and BVN,yet they want to count per head.. Children have birth certificates, yet they wanna count per head. so they can include Chad and Niger..

Okay oo

Millions of Nigerian children do not have birth certificates.

Census and election in one year. 2023 is a very key year in the future of Nigeria.

First, you didn't even understand what I wrote.

BTW, how do newborn babies get international passports when their parents want to leave the country with them? Do you think they don't get passport before getting on a plane? Think again.

The only reason we should have this census, like a more reasonable person responded, is for us to know the number of households and unoccupied houses in the country with their locations. Everything else is in NIN, PVC and BVN.

Asking parents to bring their children below 18 years for registration + the number of already registered people is enough to know the actual population of this country - that's exactly what I wrote there.

@tk4radi, thanks for the beautiful response

In reality every new-born-baby is supposed to be enrolled on the NIN Platform (according to the NIMC Establishment Act)..
(But the NIMC is not doing that)..
..
Thus, as NPC takes the “Records” of the number of childbirths and deaths, the NPC is supposed to enroll the same child into the identity database of the country (that is the NIN-Database), so that the country will officially count the baby as a citizen. (Or a baby born to international residents as the case may be)..
But like I said earlier,, the NIMC are not doing their part with regards to newly-born-babies in the country.
