The National Identity Management Commission says Nigerians who have not registered and obtained their National Identity Numbers should be ready to face the consequences.“By order of the Federal Government, today is given as the last chance to register your NIMC or face the wrath of what comes next,” NIMC tweeted.
It later extended the December 30, 2020 deadline following widespread opposition against the earlier announcement and gave three weeks’ extension for subscribers with NIN from December 30, 2020, to January 19, 2021.It also gave six weeks’ extension for subscribers without NIN from December 30, 2020, to February 9, 2021, but many organisations have called for a further deadline extension or outright suspension of the NIN registration process due to the large crowds who had yet to have their NINs.
The Nigeria Immigration Service had in 2019 made NIN a prerequisite for obtaining passports while recently, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and the National Examinations Council made it compulsory for intending candidates. This has caused several persons to gather at NIMC enrolment centres in disregard of COVID-19 protocols.
Go ahead, you're giving more threats than action
Do your worst
punch walahi uno get sense 🤔 !even our investigative journalist would have investigated this before confusing us.
Follow me I follow back immediately
The government need to update her self on how to deal with Nigerians, I don’t tire for up and down style
Prepare for the consequences of tampering with our line
The threat was from a parody account, get your fact right.
Common , you took a story from a parody account, that's low. Please verify again from that account and do the needful... ✌️
delete this. That was from a parody acct. This is so shameful from you people.
This has caused several persons to gather at NIMC enrolment centres in disregard of COVID-19 protocols. Always doing the right thing at the wrong time Imagine a government exposing his citizens to a deadly virus for no just reason.
Garbage journalism is killing this country. You're writing a national story on a PARODY account. Shame on all of you
It was from a parody account... SMH
We lost punch... It's now certified! Rip

Urging people to go and queue up during a deadly pandemic is like sending them to go and contract the virus.
Do your worst.I don already borrow 5k, we go see who e go pain.
In a pandemic? Do your worse o!

Does NIMC really understand the negative impact the singular action of blocking the citizens' phone numbers might have on the Nigerian ailing economy? Are we really a thinking nation?
Eyin de lemo jare
There is no consequence whatsoever
Forget all this threat. By 2023 they will leave the stage.
Story
Your unreliable APC regime should prepare for consequences as well
If that one go even make us no be Nigeria again I go like am because am tired of going to local government everyday if they can do it like they way they do census no wahala
Go ahead, block 100 million mobile lines and enjoy the collapsed Nigerian economy. Jumia, konga and all online based businesses, suffer, online banking and money transfers will suffer and banking halls get crowded again, MTN, GLO and others will loose heavily. Nigeria looses.
Why can’t the government pass such threat message to bandits and the likes not peaceful Nigerians

You are asking people to prepare for the consequences for not registering, do u know how hard it is here in Lagos for people to register the crowd is too much n how do you want people to meet up. my suggestion to you is please talk to the government to let it be in all local gov
