This is nonsense! Anyone that knows about these things will tell you that it should not be possible for the NIN to be linked to two different identities - fingerprint, names, pictures. Those identifying attributes should uniquely identify an entity/individual. Except if the system is really screwed up that it's not able to uniquely identify an entity with those attributes. And it should not be possible for someone with an NIN to get another one. Except if it's a not a well designed application.

You will need to get it unlocked. This should not be an issue if the device actually belongs to you.

Pls house. How do I use iPhone 15 pro max that’s esim and locked? How do I use my SIM cuz it’s locked? Pls can u enlighten me or is there something that can be done

The African market in general just is not viable. The lack of unlimited internet/broadband makes streaming services no no in these countries. In Nigeria for example, an overwhelming majority still access the internet via metered data (Data on their phone/MiFi). So streaming services just are not going to work for them.

Just purchase the device you can comfortably afford. Functionality wise they are similar.

I believe majority are aware the linking can be done online. However, most are receiving this message because their information MTN has is not matching what NIMC has. So the info will need to be updated on the MTN system. And this can only be done by visiting the MTN office with the appropriate documents. Unless there is a way to update (via online/app) the info MTN system has that I am not ware of.

bluefilm:
The thing is that so many of our people are not really informed, most especially when it comes to doing things online.

The queue I met at MTN office today because of this issue of linking NIN really shocked me.

I know that many people don't even know that they can easily link their NIN to their lines with the NIMC app, in the comfort of their homes.

Which is exactly what I did.

I have successfully linked my NIN to my MTN and Glo lines with the NIMC app with no stress at all.

Exactly! Could not have said it better.

Ustec:
If corrupt politicians were sentence to death for stealing public fund. Everywhere go coordinate itself.
The law isn't working enough.

Because it's all bullshit! Everyone is deceiving each other. It's certain that it's not religion that will save Nigeria or any other country for that matter. It's productivity, thinking outside the box, job creation, eradication of corruption among our elected leaders, etc.

And it's all bullshit anyway! The whole institution of marriage is overrated, Married today divorced 6 months later.

This is so true and so unfortunate. May this gentleman’s soul rest in peace.

Biglittlelois:
In NIGERIA today, tribal and religious politics has dominated common sense, human feelings, and conscience

Rip to him.

A vehicle is a depreciating asset. Depreciation starts the moment you drive it off the dealer's lot.

Emeskhalifa:
I understand car is an asset but aren't there better assets that these guys can put their money in??

Yeah, absolute punishment! It actually makes no sense. You can't enjoy the ride at all.

CondemnBattery:
With our bad roads?

Congratulations to him.
However, driving these cars on our roads is a punishment.

OP, you are certainly reading this thread. Is there any additional info you want to provide, or come clean on what the issue really is?

This has fake marriage written all over it! They asked for more evidence, and somehow she could not provide it, and the person she married to fell sick, that he could not even communicate. And this same person is now in Nigeria. Then why does she still need the visa to go to the USA. No visa officer will believe this nonsense! The visa officer sniffed out this fake marriage quickly, and she has probably been banned.

Sounds like a battery replacement is needed.

etiosa24:
my iphone 8 battery is not showing rather it keeps shutting down even when charging.

NB the battery percentage is always showing 0%

What is the problem and solution

As already said, be humble, work hard, and continue to learn. Whatever area of IT you choose to focus on, make sure you learn it very well and you are very proficient in it. Also, the IT sector in Nigeria is quite limiting. So to get good opportunities for growth and development you will need to find a way to get out of there. No need to rehash what I have posted on this platform in regards to a similar question. You can click on my profile to see my responses.

At a high level, at least that's how it works here in the US, the cable will be run to your house, there will be a box outside your house that you will connect to to run it into your house. Then that cable will connect to your cable modem/router.

drmuchin:
Gurus in the house, how does fibre broadband work? All those cables being laid underground how will it connect to your phone or devices?

So true. Beautiful place! Was in Bangok/Phucket earlier this year with my family.

Houseontherock1:
Thailand is the real holiday destination...so so much to do without restrictions or monitoring...plus good food and plenty of Thai massage. From regular prostitutes to katoeys and the rest... it's the land of sex tourism indeed

Sounds like a SIM issue. Clean the SIM contacts or replace the SIM card.

Buchika:
I bought a brand-new Galaxy S21 5g from Slot.

The problem is that other SIM cards are working in it but this particular MTN SIM I want to use in the phone refuses to work when inserted.
The phone does not recognize the SIM. It says no SIM inserted.

But the sim in question is working on other Galaxy phones.

Please has anyone experienced this type of issue

Yes, Java is a very good language to learn with. And, No you do not need to know HTML or CSS before learning any programming language.

binswoli:
Bro you na Odogwu ooo

I've have been trying to ask someone about these questions, buh you've answered them all.

Please can I start Java as my first programming langauge without learning HTML or CSS before diving into Java??

Thanks.

The population never really had much of a purchasing power. An overwhelming majority of the over 200 million are very low income earners.

nedu666:
I don't blame them. Like seriously a country of 200 million people generated a net sales of $50 million dollars. As in that is the height of poverty. Nigerians purchasing power has taken a serious hit

You will probably need a computer to put it in recovery mode and then do the erase/reset. You forgot the passcode that quickly?

Anticqz:
I just got an iPhone 11 today, i forgot the passcode i set on it, i was advised to wipe it. Will there be any repercussions if i wipe it (NB; i haven't input my apple id yet).

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I am surprised that you were still denied boarding with an authentic travel document from the embassy, and a police report from the Mexican authorities. Please elaborate on the reason for the denial and that will help folks provide appropriate advice. I also think you will need something from the Canadian authorities indicating you are allowed to enter the country.

MzMisty:
Good evening.
Please I need your help and advise. I travelled to Mexico 3weeks ago on vacation. Unfortunately, I got robbed. Someone stole my bag that had my travel documents and other valuable items.

I live in Canada and I am a temporary work permit resident. I reported the theft to the police in Cancun, got all required documents to present at the Nigeria high commission to enable me get an emergency passport. The embassy said they don’t issue passports but gave me a letter to present at boarding.

I was at the airport today and was denied boarding.

Please can anyone advise me on how to handle this. I am stranded in Mexico!


Thank you.

Kudos to you Obavoh! It's great that you get to spend time with your siblings. Very simple life. Ignore the people spitting out nonsense above. It's your happiness that matters.

People are just rehearsing the same thing. We all know that one cannot be denied entry in Nigeria with an expired passport. However, it's up to the airline to allow you to board. And the OP is asking for those that have successfully boarded with an expired passport to state the airline they used and any issues encountered.

This is nuts! These folks are really raping Nigerians. They seek political office in order to be able to steal money without mercy!

Expressway? What a joke!

I agree. These actors got paid. How many folks did they help when things were rosy and all was good. They will flex and show off, rather than invest wisely. That life style catches up with them later in life. Nigerians do NOT owe him anything! He did it for himself, not Nigerians. Why is this entitlement nonsense so common in this country?

Angelfrost:
Please, come off it.

Nobody owes him a damn thing!

How many people did he help in the industry when they were in need?!!

Does acting making him more important than his fellow citizens?!!

How many years in acting and nothing to show for it?!! Why didn't he try other things?!! I hate entitlement and mental laziness.

What exactly do you need a tutor for? Everything you need is online...just google it! A lot of programmers/devs are self taught. It's all about dedication and hard work.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Please, is there any mobile app development tutor here?

Well said. I actually had to force my device (Iphone) to stay on LTE/4G due to inconsistency and terrible speeds on 5G. A few minutes after I landed there last June I received a text from MTN welcoming me, and indicating my device is now configured for 5G and ready to go. What a joke! It was barely usable. For now, LTE/4G does very well.

noobody:
You guys this issue has been over flogged.

If google does not launch the phone in your country,you won't get 5g and volte.

Even the 1.1m pixel 8 pro

Just set your phone to 5G the 4g LTE speed is amazing as 5G.

Even us with 5G phones on mtn,5G is not constant,it fluctuates btwn 5g and 4g

His story is NOT straight forward, and the attending officer could see the lies in it. Their plan from the get go was to give birth in Canada, using the visiting visa. Ha Nigerians!

That means it's locked to some carrier. May be someone on here can bypass that for you.

CR777:
Hi house, please I bought an iPhone 7 Plus for my kid sister that finished secondary school but it’s rejecting her sim . This is the message I’m getting from it.
