🇳🇬 IMPORTANT: What Nigerians Need to Know About Digital Birth Registration
Nigeria is moving from paper-based birth registration to a digital Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (VitalReg) system. For Nigerians who still have older/manual birth certificates, NPC now provides a Certificate Reissuance process for eligible non-digital certificates.
Here are some important things to know:
🔹 Children 0–5: Birth registration is free at NPC registration centres.
🔹 Birth registration covers ages 0–17, while Birth Attestation is for people aged 18 and above.
🔹 NIN is now an important part of the process. NPC's system uses NIN to link identity and civil-registration records.
🔹 For a child's registration, the parent's Attestation Number may be required, while NPC says the child's NIN is also part of the registration requirements.
🔹 If you have an old/manual birth certificate, NPC has a Certificate Reissuance service. Eligible applicants need their NIN and must upload the old non-digital certificate.
🔹 Those using the self-service system may also need Birth Attestation before they can complete a child's registration.

The bigger issue is public awareness.
How many Nigerians with old birth certificates know that there is now a digital process for reissuance? How many know the NIN, attestation and other requirements before they get to an NPC office?
The National Population Commission @natpopcom and National Orientation Agency (@NOA_Nigeria) should take this information to the grassroots through radio, television, social media and community engagement.
Digital transformation is good. But Nigerians must be properly informed before they are asked to navigate the new system.
This information could save someone a lot of time and frustration. 🇳🇬 @AsiwajuOladimej
There are like a million things you can buy with your money in this world that can still k!ll you.

Correction: While reading about it, I found out that 1,000 Kuwait Dinar doesn't exist. The highest denomination is the 20 Kuwait Dinar.
Therefore, the previous 1,000 picture was not real.
This is first time I'm seeing that a Nigerian driving school uses simulator for driving lessons. I was thrown behind the wheel in the most rickety car I've ever driven to date, & told to face Diya street in Gbagada. Then you learnt the theory as you drive. Suffer head no good 😭
They will never have waist beads to get job in an Oil company, Gas or Tech.
No beads to get shares and stocks in Tesla, Google or Nvidia.
No waist beads to become secretary of United nations or OPEC
Always beads to get gifts from men.
Such a useless product
