I was trying to register for NYSC on the 29th of January, but I couldn't due to some issues with my middle name (NYSC recently made NIN compulsory for corpers). This means I have to go to a NIMC center to do a name correction.

The next day, I went to the center at Ojo Local Government Secretariat in Lagos, but I met a crowd, and it was obvious I won't be able to meet the deadline for NYSC registration if I should join the queue.

Hence, I went to the NIMC center at Lagos State University, only to meet another crowd. Then, I made the following discovery:

1. Nin is now compulsory for Jamb and Waec registrations. Hence, I saw several secondary school students who should be in class also hustling for Nin.

2. Both Lasu and Ojo centers have only one computer to attend to the huge crowd. It was heartbreaking seeing people suffer just to register into a government database. I know the government would have dispensed resources for several computers, but the money has been embezzled.

3. The NIMC officials at Lasu are taking advantage of the situation to stylishly exploit the people.

If you want to be attended to as quick as possible, you have to go through the backdoor to bribe them with a minimum of 5000 naira. A lot of people were paying the bribes because they needed the Nin urgently.

The three NIMC officials at Lasu whose name I got were Chidinma, Alice and Emma. Those guys are making serious money from these bribes. Imagine if an average of 30 persons pay them 5000 per day just to get their Nin registration done that same day.


4. The implication of the above (if you don't have 5000 to bribe) is that you won't be attended to except you are ready to keep coming everyday for the next 2 months.

I saw a young girl who told me she has been coming repeatedly for many days but was not attended to, but she needs the Nin for jamb registration which is closing soon.

Why should NYSC, Jamb, Waec etc make Nin compulsory when they know NIMC is still unstable as a result of corruption?

Why won't NIMC make these things easy for Nigerians?

For instance, you should have officials that can take these things to secondary schools so the young students can register with ease without leaving class to stand with a crowd.

On a norms, stuff like modifying your name should be things we should be able to do by ourselves on the NIMC portal from the comfort of our rooms. Why do we like suffering ourselves in this country?

After all the tussles and being made to pay 7000 naira because nysc registration is closing soon, I was attended to, and the name change was a very easy procedure.

However, the name change is still yet to reflect, and I still can't register for nysc.

I hope nysc intervenes

Mods push to fp Seun Nlfpmod Mydn

Everyone is looking for an opportunity to get money even at the expense of others

If you have irrefutable evidence of the bribery going on, go to Nimc website and file a report.

5k multipli3d by 50 persons a day.... divided by 3 thieves.
Each thief takes close to 84k a day.
84k in a day.multiplied by 25 days.thats 2m a month for each thief.
If thief doesn't get caught in 5months that's cool 10m for these thieves. Minus some other illegal fees.... one day this thieveswill have fatal crash while returning home with the cursed money. I have no pity for casual thieves
Nigeria is gone

How can one become NIMC agent?

Exactly. Never let such go. Do your part and your part is reporting it with evidence. Some of these people will be the ones pointing fingers at govt for corruption, what is the difference? Nigerian citizens, I dare say, are as bad as the govt they criticize, if not worse. There is one that is always on most frontpage threads criticizing the president from morning to night, yet he is a yahoo boy.

This is old news. The students you saw are likely part of the "late to everything" crowd.

This is the same problem with all the nimc centers across the country, it is only the price of the bribe that varies.

The country really stink of corruption
My ordeal in vio office Calabar was something I will never forget. They made the bribery compulsory, and I was made to buy a certain booklet which I already have before I could do change of ownership for a vehicle that I purchased.
Corrupt practices is happening in all govt institutions on a daily basis and it starts from the lowest ranking officer to the ogas at the top.
I really weep for this corntree

Hhh

People should be allowed to take the exams but maybe only qualify for result slip after the useless NIN.

Imagine bribing with #5,000 daily. In this economy. That's evil.

Nigeria is a crime scene. Every sector is filled with criminals

Same here with Akure center in Ondo State.
I wonder why government officials keep extorting Nigerians, even school leavers, old aged persons.
Why are Nigerians just like this.
Workers of Akure NIMC CENTER ARE VERY WICKED.

WE GO DRAG ONA....
INFACT THE DRAGING DON START.

Someone I know said that he paid 10k in thus January 2024 to do his

I really feel sorry for your experience.
But I do have a question to ask. NIMC had been in operation since 2012. Many of us did not visit them to enrol. Infact, there were times they had to start going from shops to shops and markets to canvass.
I also believe for the 4/5 years you stayed on campus, you could have got it done. We don't need to wait till we need vital documents before running to do them. We all caused this mayhem.
Now, if you have the funds, go and do International passport and don't wait till you are having travelling opportunities and you will be rushing. Same as regularizing birth certificates, applying for driving license even before you buy a car and many other stuffs.
Those guys you mentioned are just taking advantage of our passiveness to their own advantage.
I got my NIN in 2012 and the centers were practically empty at the time

Our only problem is that we still don't want to agree that Nigeria is a failed state. If u know how much the crooks budget and Steal for this whatever, u go get b.p. we are merely surviving in Nigeria,not thriving

Go to all Local Government across Nigeria currently, the situation is the same. Go out and verify the claim.

This ugly situation is not at the local government quoted by the op alone.

The heat of NIN registration at the moment is so disturbing.

Those that are not feeling the heat are those who have gotten their NIN done "APPROPRIATELY" before now. YES.

Why the heat and the pressure?

1. Federal Government has set April 2024 for all active bank accounts to be linked with both BVN and NIN, even those Opay and all that are not left out.

2. Telecommunications companies like MTN are already blocking lines that are not linked at all or properly linked with NIN.

3. If you're just about to open bank account, the only valid ID now is NIN. Go and confirm.

4. If you've done the NIN before but your full names are not captured like mine that was generated through BVN back then, you will still feel the heat now because your bank account is still active until April deadline that you must have linked your NIN and you won't be able because the BVN names and NIN will not be tally, you have to go for NIN for proper capturing and modifications and then go to bank to link up appropriately then; you're good to go. What if mistake is on your date of birth on the NIN, sorry.

5. Couple with massive students that want to register for either waec or Jamb where NIN is compulsory for registration.

For Ado Odo Ota Local Government in Ogun State that I visited. Imagine only TWO (2) COMPUTERS are available to attend to such big local government.

So, in all these scenarios, avenue has been open for big time exploitations.

It wasn't this tough when you can walk to those private business center and register your NIN but now Government have shut those ones out without given enough resources to those at local government to work with.

Those at local government need more hands in terms of human resources.

More Computers.

Some of the Local Government don't even have electricity supplies just like we are seeing across the Country, they are running on generators with bad network which also make their work to be more difficult.

For government to reduce the pressure on the local government, they should give them more capable hands and resources to work with.

While they should also speed up the process of engaging those private businesses like we use to have them or else.

Whao!
Eggxactly what's killing the nation. See the impunity. Charging N5K. To those demons that loves bribe, N5K is now like N500 to them. Just give it freely without looking or feeling the amount from your account.
A nation that thrives in anomalies ll crumble in anomalies!

@op, sorry for your experience. You are also part of the problems we have in this nation. Even as a graduate, you noticed a mistake in your name on your ID card and you didn't bothered to correct it till the last moment.

Anyway, we have taken it as a norm in this country. Here in Ibadan, Onireke LG secretariat, it is N2000 bribe as at last year. Maybe they would have increased it because this is tinubu's government.
