Without getting towards the technical side of things, here is a simple explanation:

Bank verification number (BVN) and National Identification number (NIN) are not the same.

BVN as the name surgest is for those that are operating bank account(s). Don't forget that many people do not have a bank account.
Are you telling me that, in this present age people still do not operate banks? How possible? Are you saying that if FG request people use their BVN to register Sims, they won't go get one? What about National ID? You people are not sincere with the whole charade....simple!!!

This goes to show that the government is stoopid
Why dont they adopt the style that the Jamb Registrar used which I think is very brilliant
Everyone registering for Jamb MUST have a NIN linked to their application
The picture on the NIN and the jamb picture side by side
That way it will incentivise the young ones in getting their NIN and linking it to their phone numbers

This should be a rolling policy, but typical black men dont have the mental sense to understand that things are not to be done in Gestapo manner (gra gra/by force )
When you do that, people naturally resist
The Jamb registrar idea should be replicated across board
Again, why not allocate automatic NIN for people with BVN and consistently ask them to upgrade. That will also be seemless without having reservations. Dumb people in power!

How's it for d benefit of Nigerians? Kindly explain.

How is a lack of database responsible for Nigerias backwardness?

How did u come to d conclusion that am kicking against NIN because others are kicking against it?

Is it because of lack of database that d govt can't arrest d problem of bandits and fulani herdsmen for instance?

When this same govt forced Nigerians to register for BVN with all sorts of threats saying that BVN will stop kidnapping, 419 and corruption, can u pls tell me what progress has been made in that direction?
Five questions to answer five
Bros u no get joy @all.

First and foremost... I'm no justifying injustice.

I still stand firmly in my opinion that every sane country should capture it's citizens (NIN in our case). It's a way of differentiating between the Wolfs and sheep. And also a way of determining good sheep's from Bad ones.

Europe and other fast growing countries wouldn't be where there are today if anyone can just stroll in and out randomly without data capture.

Don't misinterprete me as someone supporting evil. I know this country has it's up and down (mostly down). But that doesn't mean we should condem even good developments.

Not everyone has a bank account...das fact.

There are lots of tyrants in government. But a sane government cannot force everyone to open a bank account against their wish.

NIN is an upgrade of National ID card

I don't have the energy. It seems you are more into asking questions than trying to understand. So my answers will only lead to more questions.

Try to have an open mind. Have a good day bro

Telcos already have your bio-metric data and they know the ID of their law-abiding customers as a result of SIM verification exercises.

The NIN exercise is part of the global effort to use your smartphones as the portals for monitoring and controlling all aspects of life, from cashless economy (trace-able e-Naira CBN digital currency), your choice over your own body (mandatory vaccines), movement restrictions (vaccine passport / global travel papers), your wealth or social credit (universal basic income support or taxation), genetic profiling (digital health records), education records, and more. It is part of the UN Agenda 2030, promoted by the World Economic Forum. search online for the sponsors....

Y the desperation on part of govt for NIN? It's definitely not for d benefit of Nigerians. What are they pursuing?

I disagree. You are not getting it. Register your SIM with your BVN or National ID or Voter's Card. Simple!!!

If you don't have any of these, go get one. Simple!!! No excuse of not having a bank account. It's way beyond that mediocrity.

Imagine someone registering for this SHIT and after more than 1month, u'll go to use the shit NIN to perform one or 2 legal transactions, they'll now be telling u Ur NIN is not valid. Nigeria is SHIT. I repeat, NIGERIA IS SHIT. If I see a Gambian passport, I'll shapaly immigrate there without thinking twice.
Its frustrating and annoying. I pray i don't need NIN for anything. Rubbish country

Forcing people to do multiple registrations is mere wastage of time and resources. NIN alone is enough to cover for all forms of verification and identification including bank verification and voting.
just ask people to submit their nin to their banks simple, instead of coming up with bvn. during election, submit your nin at a polling Unit of your choice. for passport submit ur nin, confirm it with fingerprint and get ur passport.

The real question is: Tell me what are the achievements of home-based players in CAN, WAFU, ACL etc. that shows they are worthy as the main base for selection to represent Nigeria instead of the foreign-based players.
