NCC DIRECTIVE: HOW TO PREVENT YOUR SIM CARD FROM GETTING BLOCKED.

Just yesterday, 15 December, the Nigerian communications commission issued a directive, mandating all network operators to block all SIM cards that are not linked to the National identification number(NIN) with two weeks as a period of ultimatum.

This order by the NCC has however generated a lot of ripples since it was released, with many condemning the action, tagging it as clueless and ill-timed.

However, it is a thing of compulsion for all bonafide citizens of Nigeria to possess a valid National ID Number and it is towards this end that the NCC issued this order. It was reported that only about 30million of the over 200million Nigerian citizens have an NIN, hence the need for an urgent step to capture the data of every citizen, as this might serve well as a tool to boost the security architecture of the country, as posited by the NCC.

The purpose of this article is to help you escape from the sledgehammer of the NCC.

The minister of communication, Dr. Isa pantami had approved some agents to capture data of citizens and legal residents, this will help widen and ease the enrolment process.

Here are the websites of the NCC, where you will get the location of the agents within your locality and other relevant information.

ncc.gov.ng

On the other hand, if you are already enrolled, dial *346# to any of the service providers to retrieve your NIN.

In a case whereby you have a second or third SIM, apart from the one you registered with, send your NIN to your service provider:

For MTN Users, dial *789# or *785# and send.

If you use Airtel, dial *121*1#

For Glo users, send your "UPDATE NIN, NIN, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME" to 109.

Be a law abiding citizen.

GIVING THANKS TO GOD

Melrosechurch.org Jesus' response to the pharisees who demanded that he should rebuke his disciples at his triumphant entry to Jerusalem is a very instructive one, He had responded that, "… if these should hold their peace, the stones will immediately cry out ", signalling that God gets his praise from the entirety of his creation and as such, if any created group deem themselves too important, there are more than enough alternatives to step into that void. Most of the times, the discourse about giving thanks to God is often steered along the course of why we should do it and what happens if we do it, albeit, we often overlook the undesirable outcome of not doing the same. Jesus' response paints a gory picture of disgraceful replacement and sidelining for those who do not see reason to thank God. As revealed in revelations 4:11, our major preocuppation as creatures of God should be to worship him with all we are and have, and as matter of fact, one the ...

FAITHBERG

The Gigantic Voyager was a grand vessel, her sails billowing like the wings of a mighty albatross as she cruised through the cerulean waves of the North Atlantic. On board, twelve-year-old Rudolf stood by the ship's starboard, his heart filled with equal parts wonder and trepidation. Just before their journey, he'd been engrossed in the tale of the Titanic—a story that chilled him to his bones. His grandmother, Sheila, had noticed the concern in his eyes. "Rudolf, my dear," she had said with a gentle but firm tone, "the sea is as fickle as it is beautiful. Dwelling on the past, especially such tragedies, may invite misfortune." Rudolf had nodded, but the shadow of the Titanic lingered in his thoughts like a storm cloud on the horizon. Days into their voyage, the sea that had been calm and inviting began to show adverse signs. The wind picked up, howling through the rigging, and the once-placid waves grew into towering swells that tossed the ship ...

PUTTING OUT A FLEECE: WHEN DOES IT GO TOO FAR?

Image Credit: In Touch Ministries Ever been at a crossroads, at the juncture of making some life-defining decisions, and found yourself asking, “God, give me a sign!” Perhaps it was for a new job, a relationship, a move across the country, or a chance to start over. You think, “Should I make this move?” So, just like Gideon, you asked for a sign, and waited for confirmation. But when does asking God for a sign become less about faith and more about avoidance? And are we sometimes, in our quest for reassurance, pushing God’s patience? The story of Gideon is a classic example of a man seeking reassurance and confirmation from God about a big national assignment. Israel, in Gideon’s time, had distanced themselves from God. They were spiritually starved, oppressed by the Midianites, and had lost every thread of intimacy with God. When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he was, understandably, hesitant to believe what he was hearing. So, he “put out a fleece,” asking for a mirac...
