Politics / Re: How Atiku Rejected Tinubu As Running Mate - Akande Recounts by ebikels: 8:36pm On Dec 12, 2021
Why do you think Yakubu Dogara defected back to the APC? he is a Christian from the North and a likely VP candidate to Asiwaju

FarahAideed:
Tinubu desperate plan to push a Muslim Muslim by all means says alot about how insensitive and intolerant he is ...Once again in 2023 he still want to push that Muslim Muslim ticket because it's the only way he can president in 2023
Politics / Re: New Improved NIN Charges: What Is The Government's Endgame? by ebikels: 12:30pm On Jul 12, 2021
1) The NIMC Act promulgated in 2007 mandates the Commission to carry out certain functions.
NIMC as an Identity Management Agency that governs the central repository offers verification services as one of such functions.
Now individuals and corporate bodies are required to authenticate or validate the identity of persons seeking to carry out certain transactions.

2) Subscriptions grants a user access to premium services.


3) NIMC charges a premium for verification services that's why credit units are bought as an enabler to carry out such authentications. There are different subscription bundles tailored to serve various needs. There's no sense in subscribing to a bundle with 1 million units as an individual. That bundle is obviously for organisations with huge verification needs like financial institutions, PFAs and Telcos.

4) One common attribute in both the old and new improved slips issued by NIMC is the NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. A NIN slip is valid, regardless of the type or design of paper issued at the point of registration. Premium or non-premium design is irrelevant. Just pick your preferred design simple.

5) NIMC says the first issuance is free so why do you need another copy if you've already been issued?
You are only required to pay if you want another copy.

6) Yes, it is the Commissions duty to provide identification for free and payment is only applicable for re-issuance.

7) If in your thinking the idea is useless then propose a better alternative.

cool Your dependants are minors that have enrolled and submitted your NIN as a parent or guardian.
You cannot transfer verification units to them.

9) Section 10(c) of the NIMC Act empowers the Commission to set and collect fees for certain services.

10) If developing and operating an identity management system as obtainable in the 21st century is tantamount to an insane anti-people policy then so be it.

Sanchez01:
I saw this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/6641235/how-print-improved-nin-slip) last night and I wondered why the government can't be consistent for once. It is not just about getting Nigerians to link their NIN to their SIMs now but something else. I logged on to the portal (https://myportal.nimc.gov.ng/) this morning and saw some ridiculous things that only the Nigerian government is capable of attempting.

First, I was greeted with the picture below on the portal and I wondered why a National Commission tasked with regulating identity issues give me CREDITS (I have 30, according to my dashboard). Why would I need to purchase a SUBSCRIPTION from a government's portal; not just anyone but an IDENTITY COMMISSION PORTAL



As if that wasn't enough, I clicked through the subscription link only to find ridiculous tiers of subscriptions; from N100 to N1,000,000, all promising various degrees of credits. Is the government planning on charging Nigerians based on how their NIN QR codes or details are queried during verifications in banks, airports and in other places, particularly government establishments Why am I given 30 CREDITS if it doesn't matter or mean anything?



Not only that, but I also found out that there is a "PREMIUM NIN SLIP" section other than the "IMPROVED NIN SLIP". Although the "PREMIUM NIN SLIP" is currently unavailable, I am wondering why there is a class-play in the NIN slip.



The IMPROVED NIN costs N400 to download. However, I am somewhat convinced of what will likely play out.

1. The NIMC will discard the current slips and will most likely ask banks and other places where the ID is required to only honour the "IMPROVED NIN" or "PREMIUM NIN".
2. This will compel people to download for N400.
3. Say 50 million Nigerians pay N400 each to download the "IMPROVED NIN", this means the NIMC will be making N20 billion Naira from that alone. The number is a worst-case scenario since I anticipate that it will be mandated

MY QUESTIONS

1. Why is an identity commission bent on making money through the provision of NATIONAL IDs?
2. What is the purpose of the subscriptions its portal?
3. Why do Nigerians need NIMC CREDITS and why do we need to buy?
4. Why is there a PREMIUM NIN SLIP
5. Why do I need to pay N400 for a virtual card I will have to print and laminate on my own
6. Isn't it the duty of the Commission to provide Nigerians with FREE National IDs?
7. Who approved of this useless idea
8. Why do I have DEPENDENTS on my portal; implying I could share my subscriptions with them
9. Are the law-making arms of government aware of this daylight Oyenusi stunt? (Not like they are useful anyways but I am not sure there was any discussion on NIMC creating a money-making portal in the legislature.)
10. What is the endgame of government; to sap Nigerians further through insane anti-people policies as always and further create a class divide through the ID cards we carry around?

Politics / Re: PDP Wins All Eight Seats In Bayelsa LGA Elections by ebikels: 3:42pm On Aug 11, 2019
The APC Candidate benefitted from the division caused by the selection of Ben Murray Bruce's successor in the PDP. Some bigwigs sponsored candidates of other political parties like the ADC.

That aside in the guber polls, Bayelsa is for PDP

Then that negates everything, what is worth doing is worth doing fine, no more no less.

Everybody is tired of Buhari, pick your VP from SE and you have 99% SE & SS and 50% SW with you, get 50% North and you are good to go
SW should go for SP, they can push their agenda from there.

Sports / Re: The Opportunity Cost Of The Godswill Akpabio International Stadium by ebikels: 3:18am On Sep 07, 2017
One crucial question to ask is will this stadium be properly maintained for the next 20yrs?. Take a look at the Abuja stadium
HoluwarTohbar:
You are Akwa Ibomites here should give it up already! For the first time in history Akwa Ibom became a beautiful bride most suitors wanted for marriage. Attah and Akpabio did a lot to announce the backward state.

How can anybody expect that stadium to begin to generate so much profit already? That Akwa Ibom is in the conversation in this century deserves commendation.

Yes of course some elements of corruption would have taken place as is cultural with our thieving politicians, to dismiss the honour and pride of place that stadium brings to Akwa Ibom is sheer politicking!

I guess Akpabio needed that project to immortalize his name rather than spend so much expanding the airport and other projects not started by him.

If not for the Calabar stadium, UJ Esuene's achievements in office would have been obliterated by the sands of time. So how much profit does the Calabar stadium rake in yearly?

Nothing wrong with the cash donations, they can afford it comfortably.

The writer is just playing politics as usual...I bet he is not myopic to see the multiplying effect and other positive attractions that stadium will afford the state in 20yrs to come.

Politics / Re: Statutory Allocations For States From January To June 2017 by ebikels: 10:21pm On Aug 30, 2017
Bayelsa state have been unfortunate with GOVERNORS from 1999. A faulty foundation was laid and the house has now been built on that same foundation.
It's only a matter of time before it collapses.

Bayelsa state ordinarily will have no business with poverty given the allocation that has come in from 1999 but no, the reverse is the case.
What a shame.
PassingShot:
So, what business do some of the rich states have with owing salaries?

Bayelsa, is a typical example of a FAILED STATE if we compare her level of development to her income.

Is this also as a result of FG or failure to restructure?

One of the major reasons i hate gej is how he sacked sanusi for exposing the rot going on in nnpc at the time.

That was when i knew gej was and is unrepentantly and unashamedly corrupt and evil.
