Typical APC goon, when you can't defend your silly position you result to calling others IPOB.

I asked for a simple real world piece of evidence for the statement and you're here crying.

The IMEI website contradicts your statements as the blocking of phones is at the discretion of the network operators and not the government.

The ignorance you people exhibit is staggering.

aspabay:


Good you took my advice to do a little research, but you do not completely understand what you read, that is if you read to understand at all.

Government will state the policy and compel service providers to enforce it.

Now take your ignorance out of my mention.

moriss33:
NCC no get work at all...instead make dem pressure Ntwrk Providers to make data & calls cheaper 4 Nigerians....na this rubbish dem wam begin worry over ?
Omo Nigeria is on a long thing with this cursed administration aswear...wetin concern Nigerian Government with Phone IMEI ?
Is that a priority now ?

Hotshisha:



This Pantami boy no get advisers and family.....

Nigerians would come for him again and drag him through mud

Anyways it's a very good innovation.... Phone thieves would run out of business, if phone IMEI is registered to an individual

Kondomatic:
I understand your point bro but this is Nigeria.

The first thing to do is to make life a bit easier for the common man. Once there jobs, the cost of living is reasonable etc the rate of crime will reduce.

But as long as we have this incredible number of unemployed people in Nigeria and as long as the number keeps multiplying, crime will keep multiplying.

You see this policy? It's only good in papers.

The same police you report to will charge you to help you trace your phone, sometimes their charge is more than the cost of the phone.

The werey imei will be wiped and replaced in certain phones.

We already have specialists in unlocking/buying stolen phones.

Do you think those people that format locked phones, wipe and change imei etc do not know that the phones were stolen?

[Lemme break it down for you....
you steal my locked Samsung & u somehow bypass security.
Now ur in...u see my alerts & you have my sim.
U don't av my PIN
You don't av my ATM
How do you then steal money then ?


quote author=contigiency post=101912055]

Do I need to tell you that when they snatch your phone they will have access to your bank details? Or do you think they will pity you and give you your SIM card linked to your account? The IMEI they are talking about is to use it and trace stolen phone. Do I also need to tell you that once anyone with stolen phone is apprehended, it will lead to recovering other things he stole from his victims?

Farki:


I have used IMEI to track phones before, don't be talking nonsense with me here. After you lied about phones being automatically blocked you're now saying "the government will compel".

Most sensible governments didn't create such a policy because it if unenforceable due to reasons given in the website and prone to abuse you dick sucking olodo.

tymicjay77:



What of a situation where the phone was stolen and the person that stole the phone used it to commit crime or the phone was trace to a crime scene. Nah another problem be that , note in this country where even if you complaint to Authority immediately after the phone theft , they will still be harrasing you for questioning.... Although it is a good idea but the laziness of black man will not let the good motive of the initiative to function well.

SIRRITE:


How is it madness, u guys keeps complaining about the insecurities and yet not ready to work and help the government tackled it, in foreign countries all phone and all citizen data is with the government just for identification and security measures. Laziness and ignorant is just our problem, go do nin we say no, do national I'd card we say no, how do the government know who is who?.

aspabay:


I just feel sad for your mindset. Are you really ready for a better country?

This is the standard world over, you cannot use a stolen phone abroad, once it is reported stolen.

aspabay:


Show mw where I made that assertion. See comprehension is your problem and you have shown that over and over.

Last response to an ignoramus.

Go and prepare for JAMB.

ChikezieU:
Submitting EMEI is not the problem, using it to oppress innocent citizens for speaking up or opposition to their crazy ideas is.

Perfectbeing:
Even country with high standard of living and high employment rate also adopted this policy. If you read the post well, you'll see where he said that even when a thief changes the IMEI they still have a way of getting the original one.

A lot of people have entered serious problem cos they bought stolen phones. This policy would reduce such. Now when your phone is stolen all you need to do is report it to the appropriate authorities and the phone would be locked and become useless to the thief. And nobody would want to buy a phone that the owner can't open. The only useful thing the thief can do with the phone is to sell the phone parts..

The only downside to this is the corruption of the police who would ask you for big cash before they track your phone.

Richy4:


It will reduce the effect of mobile phone thefts... It has many advantages... even the the UK has that law...Australia uses Cell phone numbers to certify their own IMEI that was why I mentioned the sim...Just google it...It will help Nigerians alot to track certain miscreants...

moriss33:
Which they have already done with BVN & NIN oga.
Capturing IMEI cum July wont stop banditry & kidnapping...u sef no be pikin nah, reason am nah...haba
it's not a priority NOW biko...there is plenty yet to be done & its IMEI registration that's about to become a priority NOW for FG ??
Are u sure u really love this country?

ChikezieU:
and you think that medium through which you demand your lost phone be tracked for you will be accessible to you?...

Just like when your account is hacked and you lose your money to another account that will never be traced yet the bank system has a database...

Just saying what I know bro because it's a system that works for many countries...It is universally accepted... It could be a baby step to help reduce insecurity in Nigeria...Especially when the govt wants to track those criminals that uses different destroyable SIM with one phone... if registered, it could help put a name to the person using the device...
In terms of tracking, anyone can do it themselves... just try reading how it works on google.

ChikezieU:
bros...they are not interested in recovering your phone for you. The earliest you understood that the better ooh!

You should take your own advice since you can't read your own posts.
Unfortunately for you I'm a graduate, real people who need JAMB like yourself can't even register and may not even write because Isa Pandemic forced NIN upon us.

Some people uses Sim that can be easily destroyed because of their notorious activities right?... but a registered cellphone can help put a name to it...except if that person have a lot of money to buy so many cellphones..

aspabay:


If you are a disgrace to whatever institution you graduated from.



Even though thsi is a lie, tell me what happened after tracked the phone

My post


His response

If this is the quality of graduate we have out there, then I should be more concerned for the future of this country.

I will keep my word, no more response to this thing, I have work to do and not waste time with you mindless internet fiddler

Hotshisha:


Na to register new device steady... Dial *#06# your IMEI go show, use the code register for NCC website or simcard code ... Simple as ABC, no cue, no payment nothing nothing

Phone thieves and armed robbers go think twice before stealing a phone with registered IMIE

Mrquote:

What happens to privacy even the phone companies tell that IMEI is just use for emergency. Let's not use because of insecurity to justify this. Do you know how many branches of police we have in this country and yet we still bring up policy that they can't train the police on how to use it. Since nin registration how many crime have they been able to solve using it let's be objective and see how things work. For me all this are not necessary. Let's have census is you're identified as a citizen a number should be assigned to you like what the USA have SSN everything you do getting a job or buying stuff using ur debit card you number will be linked to it. With the level of data usa have crime is been committed over their. I still need a valid argument from them the reason they need the IMEI because this one doesn't hold water.

To be honest with you, That's the problem of developing Country... They give little or no information before enforcing any Bill, And that gives room to speculations...they should have informed the Citizens first the reasons why they were doing what they were doing.......There should have been room for a press conference where they can highlight the advantage, the disadvantage, benefits etc and rooms for Questions and answer section...So my brother I don't know...I was only speaking out of little experience based on how it works....

But on a lighter note bro if for example, u found yourself in UK tonight... and you were asked to do this/register your SIM, will u demand for an explanation on why?
