NIN SIM Link: Simple Ways to Connect Your MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9Mobile Phone Number to Your NIN

 

The Nigerian communication providers have agreed to start using the National identity Number as part of SIM registration. Also, the existing users have been given two weeks to link their phone numbers with their NIN. This is done, so as to allow transparency and improve the network they provide to Nigerians.

This is a very hard decision for many Nigerians as many do not really know whether they are registered with NIN or not, just as millions of Nigerians are yet to receive their National Identity Card many years after the successful registration.

One of the special advisers to Buhari, Bashir Ahmad has given new ways, and simple ways to connect our phone numbers with NIN. He posted this on His Twitter account and he confirmed he has completed his own registration.

'I have just submitted my National Identity Number (NIN) to my network provider, MTN for verification. Good to see they have made the process easy, you don’t have to visit their office and do it physically, just visit https://t.co/2T3Nc2rV0l to submit yours. Kindly RT for others. — Bashir Ahmad (@BashirAhmaad) 

And the Official Page of MTN Network Confirm, that instead of going to their branch office, you can just click the link and follow the instructions given, then you are done with your NIN Sim Registration.

Mr. Bashir Ahmad also retweeted about the way to link Airtel phone numbers with NIN. Below is the detail.

Don’t wait till it’s too late. Link your National Identification Number (NIN) to your phone number. Just dial *121*1# now to link, and *346# to know your NIN. https://t.co/q5sQ2Dbe6r — Airtel Nigeria (@AirtelNigeria)

Why do kids call their parents ‘Mama’

why do almost all kids use the same name for their parents? why is it we refer to our parents in this way? Where did it come from and perhaps, more curiously, is there any culture that forgoes this seemingly universal nickname custom for parental figures? All around the world, the words for “mom" are almost the same. Other words aren’t nearly as similar. Take “dog,” for example. In French, “dog” is “chien”; in Dutch, it is “hond”; and in Hungarian, it is “kutya.” But if you needed to get your mother’s attention in France, the Netherlands or Hungary, you’d call “Maman,” “Mama” or “Mamma.” What names do children have for parents in different languages? The names for mothers and fathers are remarkably similar around the world. Chinese - Mama. Zulu - Umama. Arabic - um. Swedish - Mamma. Hungarian - Mamma. Swahili - Mama. Hindi - Mam. Afrikaans - Ma.
