Why You Should Not Register MTN With Your BVN Details by habeeblai244(m): 9:47pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
My MTN line is partially blocked and I've been getting messages asking me to allow MTN access my BVN to complete the SIM registration. My skepticism won't let me do this. It's not that I don't just trust MTN or something, I'm actually scared of my fellow countrymen working in that company. A regular Joe working with MTN might receive a 10 million naira payment from someone who needs a thousand BVNs. Am I overthinking? Maybe not. Your data is never safe with these companies. I have a new MTN line I've never used for registration anywhere online and recently, it's receiving promotional messages from Jumia. There can only one explanation to this. Tho my friend told me Jumia and MTN are partner, But why would they start sending promotional msg to me that way. Our Country Men at work. My bro who Did Jamb Last Year Recieved up to 10sms from one unrecognized polytechnics and college of Edu telling him "he has been offered admission" pls tell me where they got his number. So what am try to say is that, Dont trust MTN with your BVN details. Do you think I will turn down an offer when someone tell me to just give him access to just 1000 BVN details and am gonna get 10millions. This is my own oppinion, What do you Think??

BVN is strictly for identity verification. Not a password, pin, signature or authorisation. The fear is unwarranted. Btw... there isnt personal data protection law existing in nigeria today. So its too late to worry, our personal datas are out there for any interested bidder that knows her way. From inec, frsc, banks, telecoms, church, hospital, emails, professional bodies , employers etc. Keep ur password, pin, signature or authorisations safe and sensitive, expect the worst, and hope for the best. 55 Likes 4 Shares |

Baseless. The fact that you wouldn't turn down a #10m naira offer to allow another thief access to "just 1000 BVNs" says so much about you. Get some integrity young man. 15 Likes |

Rapsowdee01:'Reason' is a noun. 'Why' is an adverb (seen as a conjunction by some peeps) . Ergo, 'reason why' is not a tautology, bro. Also, 'why' appears almost exclusively after the word 'reason'. Just try to use 'why' with any other word. And, I mean not as a pronoun. Some say it's redundant. But, redundancy is an acceptable feature of language. It's not a bad thing. In Nigeria, we have a lot of this: 'sharp sharp', 'well well' and wait for this; 'etc...etc' ![]() ![]() Read this: http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2012/09/reason-why.html 5 Likes 1 Share |

Sending the BVN is not the issue but getting the registration done. After sending my BVN severally with a confirmation message to that effect, my number is still being barred. MTN is just a very dunce network, nothing good about them. 1 Like |

I called them about 8 hours ago, telling them to help with my sim update as am not around, in order to avoid being disconnected, and the first thing thd lady asked was if I had my BVN. Which I feel it's normal Atleast for Identity verification. I said yes and she said I should send an email to their customercare. I did and Uptil now, I havent gotten a response. They should just block the line jare, miolewaku ![]() ![]() Atleast, I havent given out my BVN yet. |
