Yes it is still nonsense. For those that don't understand what postcode is it is just to be able to locate place. It serves same purpose as your house address. Shikena. If u put postcode and address on same Google map na the same thing it will bring u. Address will even be more exact as postcode covers a large area. Without street number and name self postcode is useless. Three street can even have the same postcode. Only difference is some places have same street name. That is not a biggie na just avenue to loot while some ignorant once like the op will be lauding it. By the way Tinubu is leaving next year. If he like make he credit everyone one million each. His secret Don expose. He no get anything to offer
Many of you just went to school but never educated. So because the postcode sometimes covers more than one house, so it is not necessary? Haba! Why do we have people who went to school but never educated. You mean the countries with postcode just wasted their time to do it? Why don't you check those countries and ask them why do they need postcodes when the address can suffice? And so you mean to those countries it is still nonsense? It is really a shame

Houses that have no street name and number, how are they going to give them a PostCode?
Postcodes only tells you where the house is located, but with no street name or number how will you know that?

We already have this postcodes, only that it is not being implented because of the problems I explained above.
I think you can check it on Nigeria Post Office website.

Want to copy the UK post code system. Best.
But UK post office works excellently. Nigeria post office is as good as non existent.

That would be great.

Not easy to achieve.

How about "every home should be connected to the national water scheme?"


When it comes to nonsense like this you will see as they will carry every Nigerian along because it always an avenue to loot public funds

but to carry out projects that will impact on the living standards of the people, we begin to hear excuses like, "there's no way we can reach all Nigerians".

Idiots in governance
There’s nothing like National Water Scheme.

Water provision is the duty of your local and state governments. It has nothing to do with federal government.

IBB is the only military president that did that. Any water provision made by federal government is just an intervention.

State governors stopped providing water, the moment they noticed Nigerians are doing ‘I-better-pass-my-neighbors’ by sinking their own boreholes.
Lots of our families who were abroad then in 1990s started it in their new houses and everybody started copying it.

Osun State Water Corporation that used to pump water nearly 24/7 during Military Administrator eras stopped, the moment we transitioned to civil rule in 1993.

Go and ask Oyo people the year their government stopped laying water pipes to houses.

So, go and ask your state governor for portable water. Free FG, abeg.

The aspirant/candidate that is paying u peanuts has the solutions..... They brought BVN yet fraudulent activities soared, they brought NIN yet it complicated issues, they removed subsidy yet borrowed more than what Buhari borrowed in 8years in just 3years... Peanuts can only sustain for a while, very soon your defense of poor governance will tell on you....

I can tell you your postcode/Zipcode if you mention your location

I’m surprised some Nigerians aren’t aware of this
Obidient, calm down and learn. The keyword here is “unique” meaning no two houses, even on the same street, will have the same code. That’s totally different from what you claim to know, all in a bid to rubbish this just because it’s not coming from your Obi

Post Masters in Nigeria in the 1980s started stealing contents of envelopes.
It spread to junior postal workers.
Despite the Internet, post offices work full-time in Europe and America. The Posts in overseas even serve as banks also.
Nothing will ever make post office work again in Nigeria because of greed and poverty in Nigeria.

Birds of identical domain congregate together, druggie begets druggie, I have no aspirant but I'll vote against a man who lifted his walking staff when the National Anthem was played, I'll vote against a man who fell in Turkey and Germany, I'll vote against a man who swallowed his vomit when a certain Traore roared back, I'll vote against a man who graduated from a school in 1971 yet the school was established in 1972, I'll vote against a man who postponed a national day celebration (1st October) for fear of being attacked by bandits he and his cohorts are pampering.....

This is a step in right direction. A postal code with coordinates for instance will boost the e-commerce home delivery game ! ..however, you guys won't get your flowers until we see this work. Talk is cheap !! ..🤔

nobody needs the vote of all of u from your online country to win election, u said much against buhari n he won

He even went in social media to call u 2% n he won reelection

Tinubu didn't even tour or campaigned in your region n still won, so who u wan threaten with your irrelevant votes?

U better keep it, not only your own but that if everyone from your side

completeskills:
It is not detailed. Imagine having one post code for over 5000 homes. Infact in places like Benin city, I think each LGA uses one post code. Ideally, one post code should be for max 100 homes. It makes locating a particular address easy.
That’s what postcode is for, then the street names and addresses can identify the particular house. Postcode shows the region. And an LGA doesn’t have one postcode.
Anyways, it’s be good if this can capture every house

You are the one mentioning death, but since you have mentioned it, well.... It is natural that old folks must die to give way for the young. It isn't my rule. As i said, unless he is planning to be president forever.


Yes, might, a very Big might, including yourself who is accussing people of trying to stop Tinubu. Besides, you and I, that is if you are young, are more likely to stay alive than Teeenubu who is in his 80s if not more. Again, it is natural. If you are young, i repeat, you and I have more future plans that Teenubu. Unless you don't have any future plans because Teenubu is your future plans.
