I collected the SIM card I’m currently using from a friend back in 2019, so I wasn’t the one that did the registration. Can I still link my NIN to it?
Yes. Just provide evidence that it is not stolen

Unscrupulous NIN staff members are selling sim cards linked to people's NIN. Don't suffer for what you do not know.

I was at the MTN Maitama office yesterday and heard a lot of surprising information. I met a very top security personnel friend of mine who told me how innocent people are being roped in lately because these criminals linked those dubious sims to innocent people's NIN.

Please act fast and do the needful because ignorance is not an excuse under the law."

Hello, please I see 2 numbers which is not mine when check, how can I remove those two numbers because presently I left naija over 3 years but I still use my man number but the two other numbers I do not use them, is there a code to remove those numbers , because acessing mtn toll lines or going to mtn office is not realistic for now .
Re: How To Check Your NIN Status & View Unknown Numbers Linked To Your NIN by DystopianMuse(op): 6:39pm On Feb 07, 2024
Check the list very well. There is an option to unlink or visit mtn store

At what benefit has NIN and BVN to ordinary citizens been?

The major reason for NIN is to culp terrorism and banditry and the the major reason for BVN is to stop corruption. NIN and BVN has done more harm than good. No bandit or corrupted politicians have been arrested and charge through the use of BVN or NIN. This is just waste of money, time and resources.

It's well Nigeria.
Can shut up for once!!!!

You can report the number while NIMC will do a deletion if your request is approved.

Does the app work effectively? I should download tbe app ASAP.
It works effectively as long as your NIN is linked to a correct phone number.

Good sensitization...but it still isn't enough proof to rope anyone into anything.

As long as your other bio data isn't on the registration and profile, there should be clear evidence that there's mixup or foul play somewhere. Except in nigeria where security officials are devils in human form.
Re: How To Check Your NIN Status & View Unknown Numbers Linked To Your NIN by Ed12(m): 9:21pm On Feb 07, 2024
De linking is done at some network providers selected offices
Re: How To Check Your NIN Status & View Unknown Numbers Linked To Your NIN by Ed12(m): 9:25pm On Feb 07, 2024
You don't know what you are saying...

Wait let someone else use a SIM card linked to your NIN commit and it is tracked to you.

I'm currently facing this issue. MTN barred my line that I've successfully link to my NIN over a year ago! All efforts to link the same MTN line back has proved abortive.

I'm also in the same boat as you.

At this point, I don't even know what to do. I've gone to MTN office, they then referred me to NIMC.

Oga, it doesn't cost much to be wise and smart in this age. Outside NIN there are other personal data one must provide for the registration of SIM card. For example, there's passport and fingerprint taken to register a SIM. If these do not much....it's clear it isn't you.

Linking NIN to a seem isn't enough. There are many personal info that makes up a complete data of an individual.
