Nigerians have taken to micro blogging platform, Twitter, to react to the news of Nigerian-British boxer, Anthony Joshua enrolling for the National Identification Number (NIN), and getting his NIN slip same day.

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announced in a tweet on Tuesday night that Joshua registered for NIN and got his slip.

The post did not state the location where the boxer was issued his slip.

Since the NIMC posted photos of Joshua at its office on social media, it has sparked a series of reactions from Nigerians.

While some are commending Joshua for always flying the flag of Nigeria, other Twitter users are accusing the NIMC of double standard, as they lament that the process of enrolling for NIN is always cumbersome which has discouraged many Nigerians from visiting the registration centers.

Does that change the fact that we did not have good government in Nigeria

I will beat that Joshua mercilessly, how dare he got his before mine.

A.J is a son of the soil. He is free to do that.

On a serious note, I wouldn't have sone so if I were to be in his shoes.

I would even sue anyone who refers to me as a Nigerian. Naija don cast.
