A non citizen can get nin all u HV to do is to tell dem at the point of registration dat u not nigerian md d official will indicate it on d slip

all of us won't be Nigerian then lols

the default setting of the typical Nigerian is ", aggression mode"

emorse:

I didn't quote your post na. Scroll up and read the post I quoted. Your body just dey hot anyhow.

Foreigners who are in Nigeria do not need NIN... All they need is there intranational passport

I feel you
clearly it's not only the people in Govt that are stuooopid

thebosstrevor1:
I don't think government will block your number.

Government need to be smart, you can't just force everyone at ones to register their info, it doesn't make sense, there should be a policy of gradualism.

In some countries you will be provided with a Tourist SIM card and your data (information) is taken during the process

Well truth is foreign nationals can apply for NIN, check for more info on NIMC website.

My opinion is Govt can't block lines, I bet you not upto 10% have been complished and I doubt if they would be able to achieve 40% by February.

Let's call a spade a spade, this is an activity that can't be rushed!

That is a blatant lie. The NIN form doesn't even have any provision for foreigners other than those who have naturalised or acquired citizenship by marriage.
Why are there so many fools and liars on this forum?

a residency permit is required in dat situation.

Non Nigerians are legally bind to register as long ad they have valid papers. The person's country would be chosen during registration

Lol.
No mind me, driving and typing.

And you think it's something to gloat about? That's a very reckless behaviour nothing is so important to type that you have to put other road users at grave risks. Mend your ways.

GMBuhari:
The policy is stupid to start with

And yeah as stupid as this government is they may actually block said lines

Absolutely not stupid

In many countries, including the UAE, a citizen cannot buy a SIM without identity.

In UAE visitors must have their passports scanned and attached to their sims. Infact, visitor SIMs are separate and cost more, and require ID

Thanks bro.

The Federal Government has threatened to deactivate every sim card that is not linked to NIN at a certain date and just last night my friend who is not a Nigerian asked me if his lines will also be deactivated since he won't be able to get the national ID card because he is not a citizen of this country.

I promised to confirm for him and that's why I created this thread.

Dear Nairalanders kindly help if you have any useful information about this.

Will his lines be deactivated or there is an exception for non Nigerians?

Foreigners are entitle to NIN too
Go to NIMC website for details!

The foreigners in Nigeria will have to go and present their residents permit to NIN and the CERPAC card number will be use to register them, as their data were with Nigeria Immigration Service.

At Enrolment Centre the person will present identification as foreigner this na koko

Confused set of people.

Charmingrascal:


Read again bro
What I am saying is that there is no way non Nigerians can get Nigerian national ID and without that FG is threatening to block people's lines.
Does that mean that those who are not Nigerian citizens will get their lines blocked?

Read and comprehend!!

The NIMC would issue them with a temporary ID number that will enable them do the registration.

chatinent:
What do you infer by non-Nigerians?


Aren't those people using SIMs bought here?


or is it an international one?

Wahala na bicycle.

Security purpose.If you kidnap a person it will now be easier for government to track and link to bank account and other source

A non nigerian can actually register for NIN And get the national id. Since you can provide the necessary info and documents.

It should all be blocked..

coolcars:
The truth they should be able to get NIN as non Nigeria provide they have resident permit, so all foreign national living in Nigeria should have resident permit and this entitled them to get the NiN number....well am not saying this is what will happen but I guess is the closest thing to happen. I live abroad and immediately you have resident permit in that country you are entitle to their ID that you can use in any govt office in that country

Abeg, as foreigner, he enter Nigeria on a 1 month business visa. No resident permit.

You mean he can not buy a SIM card to call home, browse net?

This is just stupid policy. If you enter other countries, you fit buy SIM card for airport.

My Nigeria guys wey dey Dubai, their nigeria number is roamed on etisalat. Them no get NIN, you mean them go cut those number? The number them dey take receive OTP from bank.

a stupid policy to register illegal fulanis from futajalon while pretending is a policy for Nigerian. All na wash.
