Sorry about your experience. There is an NiMC center inside UMTH, it's behind the mortuary. Maybe you will have better luck there.

My residence is far from UMTH, it will take me two drops, I can't make it that early to the Center.

With the launching of Operation Positive Identification, it became eminent for lots of citizens residing in the Northeast in general and Maiduguri in particular including myself to apply for National Identity Card, I made a personal research on centers located in Maiduguri and found two, NIMC Headquarters located close to Maiduguri International Airport and a branch located inside Ramat Polytechnic.

Lucky for me, my house was less than a kilometer from RamPoly. On Monday 30th September I went to the NIMC Center around 7:30AM, met some people already there also, I wrote my name on the list, I was number 63.

The NIMC staffs came around 8:30AM, collected the list and proceeded to begin the days job, surprisingly instead of calling the names on the list, they started calling people the Rector sent, those HOD's sent, those senior staffs sent, I shook my head and in my mind I said Nigeria way, "wetin man go do brother".

We waited there and I heard others of being at the Center as early as 5AM, others slept outside the center just to make sure their names where first on the list, I spent the whole day there and I couldn't register.

The next day being a public holiday, I didn't bother going there. On Wednesday, I woke up early as usual, skipped my morning exercises and chores and went straight to the center as early as 6AM, I was number 20 on the list, yeah I still met people there even as early as that, the staff came around the usual past 8, collected the list as usual but still didn't use it.

They neglected us and where just attending to their own people who came later own, I stayed till 2pm when better hunger start to dey wire me, I left unable to register.

The next day was the same, skipped breakfast, chores and exercises, went early but still we were not attended to, It was frustrating, the staffs said their machines developed fault, there was no paper to even print but still yet they attended to those who came with exotic cars and knew people above, as usual na the Naija way.

This morning I still went there, it was important I get the National Identity Card due to situations on ground, you couldn't travel without it, you will be profiled as a terrorist, today they said only students will be attended to, luckily I came with my school I.D, I joined the queue and when it came to my turn, I was turned back, they said only students of Ramat Polytechnic will be attended to, and unfortunately I was schooling at UniMaid,
I pleaded to be considered but still yet I was turned back, I waited to see if I might be favored to register but when I checked time, I couldn't wait any longer, today is Friday and I had to prepare for Juma'at prayer, I plugged in my headphone, played Erigga's latest song featuring M.I Abaga and Sami named Erigma and decided to post this while walking home.

I will still go back on Monday, But this is what lots of people pass through just to get their National Identity Card, The authorities should please increase the Registration Centers In The Northeast.

The problem with most Nigerians is their passive attitude towards national issues. This national ID card registration has been going on since 2013 as far as I can remember, but you felt it's useless.

Now that you need it for identification and movement around your cursed North East, you suddenly saw the need to enroll for it.

Tell me, why won't those people treat you guys with disdain when they know you urgently need it?

I'm dead sure that if you had enrol for this ID card earlier or before the announcement by the Nigerian army, you wouldn't have experienced this nonsense.

Sounds you right

No sympathy for you whatsoever.

Next time, do things at the right time.

Ask yourself, since 2009, the Northeast has been under insurgency, everyone was afraid of going anywhere that is likely to be crowdy, that's why they even opened centers in Educational Institutions. Just don't comment with evaluating situations. Peace Out.

I did the first stage of registration here in shomolu local council, Lagos and I can relate to everything the young man went through. I've been going there since the last three months for the second stage(for NIN) but each time I go there, its either there's no paper or the printer is not working, or any other excuse to the other. did I mention that I paid to get the form and paid N200 for the first stage and was told that I'll pay for the NIN printout.

The next day was the same, skipped breakfast, chores and exercises, went early but still we were not attended to, It was frustrating, the staffs said their machines developed fault, there was no paper to even print but still yet they attended to those who came with exotic cars and knew people above, as usual na the Naija way.

This morning I still went there, it was important I get the National Identity Card due to situations on ground, you couldn't travel without it, you will be profiled as a terrorist, today they said only students will be attended to, luckily I came with my school I.D, I joined the queue and when it came to my turn, I was turned back, they said only students of Ramat Polytechnic will be attended to, and unfortunately I was schooling at UniMaid,
I pleaded to be considered but still yet I was turned back, I waited to see if I might be favored to register but when I checked time, I couldn't wait any longer, today is Friday and I had to prepare for Juma'at prayer, I plugged in my headphone, played Erigga's latest song featuring M.I Abaga and Sami named Erigma and decided to post this while walking home.

I will still go back on Monday, But this is what lots of people pass through just to get their National Identity Card, The authorities should please increase the Registration Centers In The Northeast.
