You suppose be glad and happy that some people are even interested in applying for that passport

toprealman:
But you want the west to be lenient on the millions of Africans seeking for asylum?

WeddingParol:
There is a need to prone the Nigeria immigration services officers, those guys are aiding illegality and as corrupt as those foreigners.

eruchboy:
Yeah true
I've had few people who work for me who said they are from sokoto,jigawa,katsina,zamfara and i later find out they are from niger through their whatsapp status or other Hausas

But my question still dey for those who handle or know about NiN stuff
Is it possible to have double NiN's with photo,same biometrics ,same name and everything??
Because i know double Bvn is almost impossible

bewla:
What next

eruchboy:
Oga said “Nigerians are among the most law-abiding people I’ve encountered"

Honest question though what do they mean by fake NiN or do they mean multiple NIN's because for one to have gone to process a passport it means they have been using the NIN for a while
Is NiN or Bvn biometrics 100% effective to spot double registrations even if they are years apart with different names??

Nukilia:
Deport them ASAP
Or

Create a pathway to citizenship for them

that is the amazing thing about igbos, if regional government is established and Peter obi is on the ballot he will get zero votes. Deep down they don’t like the man and know he is useless but because he has established some kind of traction and popularity it’s like they feel they are stuck with him

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has disclosed that the ministry uncovered 2,400 foreigners with fake National Identity Numbers attempting to acquire Nigerian passports.

This was as he also emphasized the critical role of identity management in enhancing national security.

Tunji-Ojo stated this during a courtesy visit by the President and Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Investigators of Nigeria, Dr. Illiyasu Gashinbaki, and his team on Wednesday.

In a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Ozoya Imohimi, on Wednesday, Tunji-Ojo highlighted the importance of having a robust identity management system to track and monitor individuals within the country effectively.

“Identity management is the foundation of any nation, and the prevalence of identity theft in Nigeria is alarming. Unearthing the truth about identities is crucial for addressing critical issues.

“Recently, we uncovered 2,400 non-Nigerians with fake National Identity Numbers attempting to acquire Nigerian passports. This passport symbolises our sovereignty and identity as Nigerians.

“Identity management is key to boosting our national security. It enables us to have a comprehensive database of residents, which is crucial for identifying and addressing security threats promptly,” said Tunji-Ojo.

He explained that the government’s ongoing efforts to improve the national identity management system aim to provide accurate and up-to-date information, which will assist law enforcement agencies in their operations.

The minister also pointed out that a reliable identity management system can help prevent crimes, track down criminals, and ensure that resources are allocated effectively to maintain public safety.

He said two key responsibilities of the Ministry of Interior include enhancing national security and preserving citizenship integrity, adding, “We must build capacity to conduct forensic analysis domestically, eliminating the need to travel abroad for such services.”

The Minister further highlighted the ministry’s commitment to supporting the Institute and enhancing the integrity of national documents.

“The integrity of our documents is crucial for national pride and security. Many individuals holding Nigerian documents are not Nigerians. For instance, we recently arrested a British Airways crew member with a Nigerian passport procured in London, who turned out to be Ugandan,” Tunji-Ojo disclosed.


Addressing Nigeria’s reputation, the minister stated, “Nigerians are among the most law-abiding people I’ve encountered. With over 200 million citizens, our correctional centres house about 70,000 inmates, including approximately 25,000 convicted individuals. This means only 0.035 per cent of Nigerians are in custody, reflecting the law-abiding nature of the vast majority. Unfortunately, the actions of a few have tarnished our national image.”

During the visit, Dr. Gashinbaki expressed the Institute’s desire for continued partnership with the Ministry.

He stressed the importance of verifying and authenticating documents, capacity building, and maintaining the ministry’s representation on the Institute’s Council.

“Our goal is to establish independent laboratories to conduct forensic analysis. This ensures impartiality and adherence to scientific protocols in legal cases. We have also witnessed numerous building collapse due to inadequate testing of structures and product specifications, particularly from countries dumping substandard products in Africa,” Gashinbaki said.

The Ministry of Interior, responsible for maintaining internal security, public safety, and the administration of immigration and border control in Nigeria, remains dedicated to enhancing national security and preserving the integrity of Nigerian citizenship.

Through collaboration with organizations like the Chartered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Investigators of Nigeria, the ministry aims to uphold the highest standards of document verification and forensic analysis to protect and serve the nation.

jamafa:
Ajimobi made it easy for Makinde. For an opposition to commend his rival, that means the rival has done well.

mrvitalis:
I watched the video on Facebook and mind you it was a sponsored post

michlins:
it's ok to say a product is "nasty crap" but the moment you allege that the product kills and when you were asked to retract your statement, you said they should meet you in court.

Your wishes have been granted. You're in court, provide whom the said product has killed and you're alleging victimization. It doesn't work like that boss

mrvitalis:
Crap, nasty are allowed

But I dare you to make a video saying IKEA kills people... I dare

Or make a video saying MacDonald foods kills people I dare you

Criticism is allowed but trying to sabotage a product by saying it kills people is a no no

Erisco even gave her chance to withdraw her statement she said no

michlins:
That woman ran her mouth like tap. The consequences of her actions are here now

DaddyCoool:
The politically selfish right thing to do is keep borrowing money, sell parts of the country to China, keep fooling Nigerians with subsidies and kicking the ball down the road to 2031 when you'll leave office - what Buhari did!

DOSINCLAIR:
Every thing is about Wike and Politics to You , Are you from Rivers State?

Have thought how well the 774 LGAs in Nigeria will develop at their own Pace if LG Autonomy is implemented?

The Cities will be greatly decongested and Rural Rolas will be constructed as well as Farming hitting all time highs because Funding goes straight to an Empowered and Emboldened LG chairman to utilise funds Judiciously because Councillors and Traditional Rulers can always summon them to give account of spendings

Eteka1:
Good development. These governors want to totally erase the third tier of government i.e the Local government system. God bless Asiwaju Jagaban.

tishbite42:
Are the prestigious white collar jobs made for spirits?!
Can't someone aspire to earn money in a blue chip way?!
The hypocrite attended one of the best universities in the world.
This Indian is getting high on Hindu curry
He should be booted out on July 4

wonlasewonimi:
I know JP Morgan do train interested students after a-levels and get them to write professional exams. On the job experience trumps all the certificates in the world. In this part of the world, we have alot of paper tigers without sense. Another benefit is acquiring skills without student loans.

wonlasewonimi:
It is not irresponsible, it's common sense. There are various pathways to skills acquisition such as apprenticeship schemes. Some of the most intelligent and knowledgeable guys I have worked with in my over 10 years IT experience did not not go to any higher institution. When they talk, MSc holders listen.

helinues:
The first term, he focused more on generating more IGR for the state and also attracted investors while working on the abandoned projects left by his predecessors.

People from the state expected physical new projects like roads.

His second term now, he has no excuse of not doing something meaningful because those investors must have matured by now. Reasonable cash should be available for him to do stuffs

spagettiluv:
see people celebrating Julius berggar sign post,street light and thickness of drainage in 2024 telling others of backwardness lol

Objectivist04:
80© of investment in Ogun are done by none indigenes especially the expatriates but look at how Ogun is looking in this picture.

Outdated houses everywhere and I am sure these houses don't have toilets.

Even the North has gone ahead of you guys, just keep wallowing in your delusion

Objectivist04:
The two pictures of newly constructed roads in Ibadan and Ogun posted today further revealed the backwardness of south west states.
Despite the investment of none indigenes, the area still looks chaotic , rusty and far from sophistication

happney65:
This looks good

ForValour:
Correct, but study.

seunmsg:
The PM of one of the most powerful country in the world coking out publicly to make this kind of statement is a big minus for education. A lot of young people in Nigeria want to get rich quickly without education or learning any skills. You see them going about saying “school na scam”. The PM saying the further justify their stand. While I understand the PM’s point, I still think he should not be the one to come out publicly to make this kind of statement.

Again, what would be your reaction if this statement was made by the president of Nigeria? By now, the opposition, ASUU, civil societies, obidient trolls etc would have shut down the internet in protest and condemnation of the statement.

Bardo:
More people need to know this.

It’s more for people that don’t have any direction or are not willing to take risks.

Nowadays, anything can be learnt from anywhere.

helinues:
Gosh, are you always in this aggressive mood to just be attacking the president anyhow.

This is no longer making sense jare. You can't even express yourself without unnecessarily attack the president. Like WTF

Racoon:
So why was your demigod so desperate that he has to claim graduating from ghost schools and forged CSU diploma certificate to legitimise his phantom education?

ElevationD:
Politics aside.

BAT is the President and he put Wike there. He can fire Wike on the spot there.

Unfortunately some of you do not realize that BAT may be suffering back pain. Sitting on sofa may aggravate the pain, so he sits on the wooden chair to support his back and keep it firm.

Too many political leaders have the same problem. Their desire to pocket the common patrimony makes them choose sofa publicly as against the honest truth about the state of their health.
