Many people were not aware that the cards were available for collection because when you go to their site they will say it not available or it is not ready. Besides was there any announcement that they were ready ?

I don’t care. I have multiple NIN slips littered in my room.

I believe that many people do not know that their cards are ready for collection.

How does one k ow that his card is ready for collection?

After scamming Nigerians, you still want to collect their money, keep your cards

But come to think of it, why's a document like the National Identity Card having an expiry date, if the sole intent of this gimmick is not thievery and mass exploitation?

jaymichael:
You don't mind paying. Just make the cards available.

Be specific, it saves time.

Y'all are robbers, cutthroats and sellswords.

You guys deliberately made Biodata Entry be a staff thing instead of allowing the hundreds of millions to enter their bio themselves. The aim for such was to input as much errors as possible so that when time for corrections come, it will be your fraudulent cash cow moment. To change DOB, etc is 16k. Are you guys having loose bolts upstairs?


It looks like you're tired of withholding what triggered all this cheating and fraud and you're confident to tell us what we already knew from onset.


Nigerian Agencies and making willing citizens to suffer because you want to hide behind the "job provisions for IT staff" something that should have been optional for everyone, esp aged folks that are not tech savvy.


What a pyramid scheme.

Explain.

It's always easier to criticise from the outside.

This is completely false;
I captured in 2013 and only to be told to wait for 10 year before the plastic card is ready.
I went back in 2020 and only to be told I had to wait till 2023.
I went in 2023, only to be told to visit another state to pick it.

They never issued the plastic Id cards to Nigerians promptly and they hardly send SMS or email when it is eventually ready.
How can they make it legal to delay printing ID card for so long that it became a norm to use the paper slip.

They charge from N1500 to N2500 to get a PDF version on your NIN. Imagine.
I wonder how much they'll charge for the plastic now. Way to go anyway.

Just imagine the number of people who didn't bother to collect their national id cards because it cost them nothing. Since the NIN slip serves as a valid ID, I don't think anyone still needs that plastic national ID card.

Its a big lie.....did they inform d people that cards are ready?
Why is it people collect PVC bt fail to collect national identity cards?
Answer is simple,INEC put in money n effort to distribute d cards.NIMC doesnt send sms or keep u informed bt expect u to magically collect a non existing card

Another trick to exploit people again. They've made provision for less privileged while the rest people are expected to pay for it. I'm wondering how they're going to determine who the less privileged are. Just those kind of phrases they add so as to create loopholes for stealing and still not do the work. Watch as some people will pay and still not get their cards, and some will still bribe in the process. May God help us.

Stupid excuses to loot money.

Those of us who collected, you will now invalidate it bah?

MadamExcellency:
How is this government complaining of limited revenue after the removal of fuel subsidies and partial electricity subsidies?

It's like this government is wicked.

If Tinubu have his way, he will cease air and sell oxygen to Nigerians.

Every avenue will be implore to collect money from Nigerians thats what Tinubu starts for

It's even the poor journalism being displayed on a regular basis in Nigeria that is my concern here.
After all the hullabaloo and long story,the journalist could not bother to ask or find out what the cost would be?
Commonsense dictates that the report will include the estimated or stated cost of the card or if it has not been fixed state,it should be so stated that no price has been fixed,but no single word on that!

Thomthom:
Shey the one we get now don expire ni

No,the current one is obsolete and has been upgraded. Why waiting to be told,that you should come up higher?

Who didn't bother to collect? Many of us waited in vain for ID cards that were never seen. They produced them and dumped them in their offices. And now want to blame Nigerians for their ineptitude.

docdes:
No wonder banks require BVN and NIN yet terrorists keep kidnapping Nigerian s.

My brother,we know wetin dem dey do

You're wrong. They were not uncollected because of the paper ones or that they don't need it.

People get tired of queing up every day unsuccessfully to collect these cards.
Even when government said it's free, ppl still paid to even be registered.

You'll pay for the form.
Pay to be captured.
Also pay for collection of the slip.

Government should make the procedure easy for people.

If the card was wait and get and not wait get a paper and go home to return when it is ready..we play too much in this country.

With the functionless app.

I think it's quite the opposite. A lot of people who enrolled for NIN couldn't get their cards. I did my NIN about 3 years ago and till date only the NIN slip and the digital card is available to me, which I paid for online and printed the card myself...

NIMC isn't being truthful here, they are generating revenue from change of name, slip printing, online verification etc, these are things that Nigerians pay for daily, you have to PAY online to access these services. I know how much I have spent on these things.

Merchandiservic:
I'm really considering this issue. If NIMC says we have to pay for our ID cards, we need to think it through. Last time, they produced over two million cards that nobody collected. This shows that many Nigerians may not really need them. Instead of giving out free cards that just gather dust, maybe a small fee could ensure that only those who truly need the cards will collect them. But what about those who can't afford to pay? They should have an option too!

They have the data and phone numbers of all these people who are yet to collect their cards, have people been informed that their cards are ready? Did they notify them by sms or email? If people aren't picking up their cards, it's majorly because they don't know.

They are just looking for excuses to generate more revenue. They already generate money from slip printing, digital NIN, change of name, change of data etc... To me, they are just deceiving the public!

So people that refused to collect their ID cards for free for decades now are also ineptitude, incompetent and clueless?

The card itself is practically useless hence the reason the collection wasn't taken seriously. If the card was tied to several important use such as voting, debit, etc. It might have attracted better chance of collection rate.

Some you just want to condemn. Stop judging.

He said millions of cards were produced and were left uncollected. Do you want them to make millions more free which would go uncollected?

If the international passport was free, even a dog would apply.

If you pay for the card, there's a very strong likelihood you'll collect it.

As already been mentioned, the NIN slip is sufficient for most people.
