1. One-time phone number change

Under the new rules, customers can now change the phone number linked to their BVN only once in their lifetime. The policy targets rising cases of SIM-swap fraud, where criminals take over phone numbers to gain access to bank accounts.

Customers are therefore advised to link their BVN to a secure, long-term phone number—preferably one already tied to their National Identification Number (NIN).

This rule is nonsense. As much as it makes sense, it is not a long term thinking. We do not have permanent phone numbers. The number tied to my NIN can expire. People can and should have the right to change numbers any number of times they want. Nigeria should decide whether they are using NIN or not. A phone number should not be a personal identifiable number, it is even dangerous. The other time Minister of Interior under Buhari said no passport without NIN. Now, CBN wants to limit your BVN with NIN and OTPhone number. Let's stop making life more difficult for the average Nigerian.

It’s act of cowardice to forcefully place women and children as shield on your national asset when there are abled bodied men in military that can defend it. So what is the point of their military budget in resources?

Meanwhile their children are living the best of their lives in western countries, obtaining quality education, access the best healthcare and others

The Iranians are not backing down for two reasons:

1. USA has shown that it cannot be trusted because US struck first while negotiations were ongoing and that has taught Iran that never again will they trust someone who says they are peaceful but their actions are warring (worrying).

2. Trump has abused all his allies and threatened Greenland? In fact, Greenland gave NATO the final greenlight not to support Trump in his war because he acted like an Emperor.

3. What is there to lose? Iran has been tested with death of their leaders and they are still united. It is now showing that the Western propaganda that once you eliminate the leader, you solve the problem is a lie. It is not only a lie, it is a cover up for their faux democracy. Where they want to remove the person who blocks them from exploiting resources. Anyone who stands for his own people is not liked by US. US said they went to save women from tyranny but they bombed school girls. I see the supporters say all Iranians are terrorists. Okay, let's agree they are. If they decide to use their bodies as a human shield, isn't it better to die for something than die for nothing? Are you telling me that the government is forcing them to sacrifice their lives? Can you do that for your own country? How many Americans or Nigerians today can die for their country? I don't blame them for that move, you can go ask the Japanese and the Vietnamese. US is blood thirsty, what difference does it make if they die on the bridge, in the tunnel, near energy infrastructure or at home? At least, all die na die. Better to die a martyr in their own eyes than die a coward. They are also telling us they stand for something and they mean it. I remembered the Nigerian youth who were at Lekki Toll Gate when I saw that news of Iranians occupying their bridges, ready to die. War unites a nation and just as Israeli PM and Trump are using this war to dodge accountability in their respective countries, it has done the same thing for Iranians. Those who oppose the Iranian government will now defend the government, not because they love it but because it is something of honor given the way the US has trash-talked them. They won't watch someone from outside rape them and kill them and claim to be their friend. They still have sense. Even when you hear the ones opposed to the regime talk from abroad, they tell you how they are concerned about their families back home. None of them is stupid enough to say thank you Mr Trump for killing my people. None.

Many of you are forgetting that in this scenario, Iran has been under sanctions for years. Let's wacth and see how US gets humbled. The war has shown its not by might as cheap Iranian drones are more cost efficient than expensive American artillery. The Cubans are watching too. What are the Nigerians going to do?

H
How?

But Fashola has been Tinubu's political thinktank.
Sotay, Tinubu posted Fashola to become in charge of three big ministries in one - Power, Housing and Works put under one ministry.
Alas, electricity supply went down to what Goodluck Jonathan administration left it.

Tinubu returned and told voters: if I don't give you steady electricity, don't vote me for 2nd term.

Shidren of 8 Weldon oooooo!

SmartPolician:
People who fought for democracy just to become as terrible as those they once fought.

That means fighting for democracy was just a grand scheme of getting into powerful positions, not out of genuine love for country

So males and females are actually hooking up through nairaland despite all these gender wars and biases? Wow!

Jughead29:
The POPE is already used to old days where Christians suffer persecution and keep quiet without fighting back.

Modern Christianity won't tolerate the nonsense that what America stands for.

Condemning US is not fair, what will he say to those saying Death to America?

At times, it's better to speak fair language than blame...

You are condemning US, how many Muslim Imam has ever condemn Iran sponsoring terrorism globally?

AlphaTaikun:
The real name of the protest in 1929 is Ikot Abasi Women's protest. The Ibibio women of Ikot Abasi now in Akwa Ibom State led by the former Minister Udoma's grandmother (who eventually was shot dead alongside other women) started the protest against high taxations. However the Ikot Abasi Women have been immortalized due to the FACT that the ORIGINAL protests in that part of Nigeria started from Ibibioland NOT Aba as wrongly claimed by some propaganda history books.

The FALSE use of "Aba women riot" was meant to cover up the murder of those gallant Ibibio women and because Aba is closer to Enugu, the seat of the Colonial Eastern Nigeria Government so the media originally thought the Aba women started the protests.

You can change numbers but you will have a permanent number linked to your BVN
