The National Population Commission has said it had put up measures to guard against all forms of malpractices ahead of the forthcoming population and housing census.

The commission also stressed that citizens living away from their states of origin do not need to travel to home for the purpose of the exercise.

It said people would be enumerated at their places of residence.

The spokesperson for the commission, Isiaka Yahaya, said this in an interview with our correspondent on Monday.

He said,”People should stay where they are, to be counted. They are not to move to their states of origin. It is totally against the essence of the census. You have to be counted where you reside because that’s where you enjoy the social facilities like education and health, among others.

“Apart from this, when the time comes for people to be provided with infrastructure and other things you will not allow the planners to have accurate figures. People are not to move.”

On measures to check malpractices, the NPC spokesman added: “This is a de facto census. We are asking practical questions about those who are living, not those who are yet to be born. We have not trained our enumerator to count people who are not yet born. We have a system in place to guard against all the malpractices that we have envisaged.

"EYE NECK" said more than this But laslas Where are we now?

The day we decide to stop living in a hypocritical country, the first step we will take is to replace that official document we call state of origin with place of birth.

State of origin has no place in a country that genuinely wants to move forward; Nigeria is a scam.

Wetin concern you. I don taya for una promises.

I have made up my mind, if I am unable to travel back home for the census, I will not allow my self to be counted..

Let eye neck chairman manhood give them figure as usual. After all, the numbers are always doctored just like the just concluded presidential election.

Those denied voting in Lagos, know what to do in Lagos. MC Olumo should present his family for counting in their stead. We are not going to interfere in Lagos matter this time around.

I have said my own.

According to mc oluomo,mama chinedu should stay indoor and not be counted,...its strictly a "landlord's" affair.

This is another avenue to steal.Instead of investing the money into something productive,they want to connive and loot it.
Count me out of your Yeye census.

His children are enjoying better life in America.While,he is destroying Nigeria.When he finishes,he will abscond and seek for refuge in America.

What's even the essence of the census?

Invest the money in something productive!

So, where should non-yorubas living in lagos as indigenes go to be counted?
All the Fulani herdsmen and their cows should go where to be counted?

Jokers!

Anyone who doesn't travel back is stupid.

Don't let yourself be counted. In another man's land

Just find a way and travel back home and get counted.

But during election some people will be beaten up ??

Non indigena should go back to their respective states simple!!!

Mistake. Census determines resource allocation for economic planning.

If your town is sparsely populated, they won't spend money there.

I am going back to my hometown to be counted there.Lagos belongs to Yorubas alone I will not mingle in their matter.

Rubbish

APC will still rig census

INEC talk pass this one but in the end we know how it played out..

Make ona rest

Even the parents of Jesus traveled back to their village for census

Without BVAS whether you travel or you nor travel you will still be counted

Na time to share national cake everybody go dey inflate numbers anyhow......Alhaji go say him get 4 wives and you nor fit see them na haram.....4 wives plus 12 news babies .....as in triplets o add the grown 9 children ....na so our numbers dey take high

Opolopoopolonio:

Rule 2 broken

But some people have been warned not to interfere in lagos State, they will have no other option than to go to their State of origin to be counted

I will allow only Landlords to be counted in Lagos.Nobody is counting me or any of my family
