Nigerians drag FG after large crowds were spotted at NIMC Registration Centre today

Nigerians are seriously angry at the Federal Government of Nigeria after large crowds were spotted at the NIMC Registration Centre today in Alausa, Secretariat, Ikeja.

Recall that last week, Federal Government announced that any SIM card that isn’t linked to NIN (National Identity Card) will be blocked. The deadline for the registration and linking of NIN to SIM cards is on the 30th of December, 2020 (2 weeks). (Read More Here).

Early Monday morning, crowds were spotted at the NIMC Registration centre to register, submit forms and get at least the slips for now. 

Taking to their various Twitter pages, Nigerians began to drag Federal Government and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Governor Babajide was mostly dragged after making a new COVID-19 guidelines; which include: closing schools till further notice and banning of night clubs, parties or large gatherings in general. (Read More Here).

Reactions from Nigerians below:

Threaten to block SIM cards Thursday.
Close down schools on Friday.
Shut down Cubana on Saturday.
But open NIMC office Monday morning.

A confused government of morons.

NDLEA SWAT are out there picking up the baton SARS left.

They shut down Bars in Lagos because of COVID-19 yet thousands of People are gathered at the NIMC office.

Watching Nigerians suffer gives this Government orgasm.

I don’t understand why the government will shutdown all social gatherings because of COVID-19 and then open up NIMC offices for NIN registration.

Or is it that COVID-19 no dey near government offices?

Concerning the NIN, FG should try to create an app to register everyone without going to the NIMC office, more than 87% of Nigerians are using fingerprint phones, which cover more than 150million citizens. It shouldn’t be a problem making fingerprint censor as thumbprint part

Please when do they plan on blocking the SIM card of some of us coconut heads who don’t have NIN and have refused to go and register with NIMC. They should tell us so we put our affairs together and prepare to give our farewell speech.

Dear @jidesanwoolu, when are you going to order the closure of NIMC office at Alausa for flouting the recent Covid-19 guidelines?
