Gireiboy:
How do you suggest we get it right?

LeoDeKing:
I thought the deadline for this NIN-SIM linkage thingy has elapsed.

What is this I'm reading here again?

So Nigerians have not finished linking their SIM with their NIN all these while? What does it even take to get this done? Is it not just a text message? That's just what I did, or is there something else in addition?

lol unless say na olodo dey kidnap u can easily cross to Neighboring country nd buy dere sim wen u enta here the sim will roam him sef nd u recharge it u might be charged heavily buh na u know wetin u wan use am du.....


So the Nin linkage will jus mak people to use anoda Avenue e no fit stop anything....


Naturally ordinary sim registration is enough to get a culprit buh if sim registration no work I don't think Nin gt any role to play people will use anoda method....


And u people don forget say every kidnapped victim gt phone so dey can use dere phone number directly to contact derr family.....


Nin won't solve 1 percent of kidnapping so u guys should rest....

SenecaTheYonger:
Thanks. I just downloaded the app and it shows my sim has been linked long ago

GreyLaw:
First thing is that the government isn't telling the truth. Thr first and most important step is to reveal the identity of those sponsoring Boko Haram (bandits, Fulani herdsmen are all BH) and bring them to justice. This shockingly includes governors, senators, etc. Bring them and their collaborators in the military to justice and let fear grip all of them.

After this we can talk. They know what to do but don't want to do it. The common man believes in Nigeria than those thieving murderous politicians. The president knows to the very last dot, all the people involved in this; the DSD gives him secret updates that he alone has access to.

They are not serious. When they are serious we will know.

This na 100million questions

My neighbor a retired Director of DSS was kidnapped on December 27th 2021. What surprised me was a ransom of ten million naira was paid into an account number that doesn't have BVN.and I asked what happened to deadline given for Bvn linkage, then I know say Nigeria na scam

Astoria:
Pantami isn't targeting bandits, he's targeting Nigerians. Bandits/Kidnappers ordinarily put calls through to victims families via victim's phone to avoid traces, it is an open secret. What's most obtainable in Nigeria is phone and not sim tracking. Reason why the Nigerian security services can easy track a stolen/compromised phone by the amount of sim cards placed in the sim tray but not vice-versa, i.e. the amount of phones a sim card has been inserted on. Even your mobile service provider will always ask you the make and type of device you use whenever you complain of a service short coming because they damn don't know!

Long story cut short: Glo doesn't know the device your sim card is placed on but Samsung, iPhone and any other phone that is smart knows you are using a Glo sim. While some will outrightly display your details (phone number) on-screen, others are more discreet. Pantami is taking the bull by the tail.

It's a good thing in disguise.
That would stop using untraceable or unlinked or unrecognized numbers to do heinous crimes. To be frank with you, forget government incompetency, it's for a stronger national security and to stop crime.

When one does crime with a linked line, they security agency will catch the person through the recognised lines, if you escape, the catch your frequent calls or next of kin. Park well jare, calls between me n my boss in the space of 7 hours exceeds all calls I make to my family members in a month, my 2 year old daughter is my next of kin. Your thinking no follow..

For me, it's good.

Theunbothered:
Okay assuming they link it how will the police know that particular individual is a criminal and find them?

NaughtyBrainiac it has been over two hours and you have not answered my question

NaughtyBrainiac:
Just seeing this.

When there is a crime case, phone numbers involved can be traced to check the NIN linked to them. There are several crimes that people commit and the knowledge that they could be identified through NIN would make a certain percentage not even perpetrate such crime in the first place

LilleG:
I hope they won't block mine

Theunbothered:
But the police can already track phone calls and locations without NIN in cooperation with the network providers, that is how they found Uduak the organ harvester.

That aside if you get kidnapped and the kidnapper uses your device to call, how will the police know the NIN of the kidnapper? Will the kidnapper tell everyone he sees his NIN?

Even in other cases how will they know someone has committed a crime using NIN unless they already had a suspect?

Do you think implementing these measures without improving the economy will have a practical effect on the crime rate?

NaughtyBrainiac:
Please note that there are several other crimes apart from Kidnapping. There are some people that just sit in their rooms, make calls and send text messages to unsuspecting Bank customers just to wipe their accounts.

People use phone numbers for crime and abandon the numbers after committing crime. People like that can now be identified using NIN.

Theunbothered:
This is a myth, I have never heard of anyone losing money from a simple phone call unless they told the scammers their bank details.

In any case you already have caller ID which displays information on these people.

Also shouldn't BVN have stopped all this from happening?



Crimes such as?

If you already have the physical phone or number why do they need NIN to track the person?

Mysticwebb:
Na heavy protest una wan instigate so ooo.

NaughtyBrainiac:
That's the essence of the word "unsuspecting". They definitely divulge their card details. Whether they divulged or not. The perpetrators are still Criminals.

Caller ID doesn't display accurate info. I can manipulate caller ID to display whatever I want it to display. That's a discussion for another day.

BVN cannot stop Criminals from calling and defrauding unsuspecting Bank customers.

NIN can easily be used to declare someone wanted and also to track further in cases where the criminal has abandoned the SIM

Gravity56:
Until they make registration free I won't go for NIN

Likeandshare:
Like if you think Nigeria government are ignorant,share if you think they are taking this step for the betterment of Nigeria citizens.

Theunbothered:
But more criminals have been caught using caller ID than NIN, which has yet to catch one criminal or victim.



BVN was meant to track stolen funds and prevent users with multiple accounts from laundering money.

By the way how many fraudulent calls has the NIN Sim linkage prevented?



You don't decleare unknown persons wanted, if you are declaring someone wanted you must have have basic information like their pictures, name, work or family background already linking them with the crime.

You can have everyone's data but if you don't have clear evidence linking people to crimes then it is a worthless endeavour.

Concerning the bolded you already are saying in plain English that you have already matched a crime to a specific suspect. Also how often do you see criminals abandon their SIMS at a crime scene? How would you know which sims are active or not unless you already had a suspect?

Altogether this makes me wonder, what new information does the NIN provide that those investigating don't already have?
