If una collect death people money, you are compiling more problem to una administration, una think say na Looted funds. Instead of to advice banks to contact the next of kin to the account holder and monitor the process through Efcc, y'all went into action to even steal from the death. 55 Likes 6 Shares |

What about those that have lost their BVNs? This ruling is divorced from reality, there are a whole lot of old fashioned bank users not in tune with modern technology and needing to catch up I don't see the benefit of this policy other than another example of a government that lacks human face. This is all Buhari knows how to do, seize seize and seize. He does not create or improve anything! Does Buhari know what a BVN is? Does Buhari know how to use ATM? Does Buhari use internet banking? For Buhari he has a lot of aides to do these things. Most older Nigerians don't and may not have a helper. This people really need to get real 55 Likes 10 Shares |

Accounts are not linked to BVN due to various reasons. The FG should have identified the accounts they want to target. Not a blanket order 19 Likes |

krendo: Government is talking about accounts not linked to BVN at all. If you have lost your BVN number, simply go back to your bank and get it. I really don't see why some so called analyst are against this move. If government don't take custody of the funds, the banks will use it as they like forever. The funds in the unlinked accounts have been there since 2015 without anybody claiming it. Government should take custody of the funds and use it judiciously for the good of the entire country. 54 Likes 8 Shares |

If not the fact that such monies were gotten through illegal means, why would anyone to leave his money unidentified and unclaimed since BVN commenced way back in 2014? This is a right step in the right direction. 29 Likes 1 Share |

If by any means you know anybody who has not updated his her BVN with his/her bank, please do inform them to immediately come up to apply for the court to vacate the order in order that the person may be able to do. This is more especially to those leaving abroad because after 14 days and nobody comes forward to make the necessary application to the court, the court will issue a permanent forfeiture order and the money will be given to the FG by the banks and that's all about it. So, publicize and help some people. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Bolustical: Some Nigerians have been abroad. Some even in prisons etc. They haven't been able to do the BVN. It's not only those with illegitimate money. In fact most people with illegal money keep dollars at home or elsewhere in cash 27 Likes 6 Shares |

leofab: If you have not been able to access your account since 2015, why are you now appearing so angry? Instead of abusing the government, why not take the necessary step and resolve the issue you have with your bank. If you can't get your BVN registration right within the stipulated period of around two years, you should stop blaming government for anything that happens thereafter. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

KAYCEEJUNIOR: Relatives of dead depositors should work towards retrieving the deposits but at most people don't know that such accounts and deposits exists. There are even married people who run coded bank accounts without the knowledge of their spouses, when such persons died who goes to claim the money? 7 Likes |

I commend this move. The only people i feel for are the ones outside the country before the introduction of BVN. Anyway, they will just have to prove that the funds are theirs before they can be allowed to have access to it again. 3 Likes 1 Share |

the only thing this government have achieved is to look for ways of milking more money from Nigerians, be it Mtn fine,customs seizing cars from the owners on the highways, borrowing up to 60% of national income, reckless printing of money by the CBN,Increase in the prices of drivers license, international passport etc and yet there's nothing to show for all that money. this move is just to raise money for the government, nothing more, nothing less.I wonder how the rest of the world would be looking at Nigeria now. 4 Likes |

I have been outside Nigeria for over 5 yrs. I had some money in zenith bank before I left. The account has not been linked to any bvn because I don't even remember the account number. I have never held any public office. So going by the reasoning of the government and the reasoning of some people here, the money in my account must be stolen money that should be forfeited to the government just because the account does not have bvn. This is a case of guilty until proven innocent. Why does a government think that robbing it's citizens is a good policy 35 Likes 3 Shares |
