Got that of my child in less than an hour at their office. Paid only 1k for printing.

[Ogundipe, Esq. @The_Ogundipe]

I wanted to process and obtain a birth certificate for my child. I went to NPC office. The moment I parked outside, a man sitting among the people outside accosted me. I do not know whether he works there or he's a tout looking for a quick fix.

He asked me what I wanted, I told him. "Shey you know that the normal fee is 25k. Anything you now want to add to it for us".

I didn't have any problem with paying, but I did a quick search on my phone and saw clearly that issuance of birth certificates is free. I told him that I would not pay 25k and I also won't add anything.

I called one of the numbers on the website and while I was waiting to be attended to, one of the messages being played to my ears is that obtaining birth certificate is free and that I should not pay anything to anyone.

A woman picked my call. She was very helpful and polite. She made me realise that I could actually do it online.

I commenced the process and realised that the child needed to get NIN. Searches showed that we could not do that from our home. We went searching for a centre and saw one. A NIN was obtained. It was paid for.

I returned online to continue what I started. On the same website that said obtaining a birth certificate is free, I was asked to pay a little above #5,000 to proceed. I didn't mind. After all, that would have a receipt and get to the government.

After my payment, the next stage required me to enter the certificate number on my own birth certificate. Mine was issued in 1996, almost a decade after my birth. I drew it out and entered the certificate number on it. It didn't work. I tried again. It still didn't work. I started inputting other numbers on the certificate, none worked.

I took a pause and did some searches. I realised that my certificate was of the "old school" era and I would need to apply for a reissuance, which comes with a certificate number that the modern system recognises. Okay.

I proceeded. I was asked to pay a little above #3,000. I did. I was asked to input my NIN, I did. Then I was asked to take a picture. The process took more than 40 minutes for me to get a picture approved by the system. What it eventually picked as useful was my tired and frustrated face. Guess what? In the same process, I got to another stage that required me to take another live photo and update. The stress started again. I got one that the system accepted after 14 trials. Of course, I had a picture in the database over a decade ago, and I consider the repeated requirement superfluous.

After that, I underwent another long and tedious process of typing in details of my parents. For a second, it felt like I was the child who never had a birth certificate. When I was done, I got a message telling me that I'd have to wait for the reissuance because the system has a lot of requests to process.

Essentially, I had to drop the processing of my child's birth certificate and face the reissuance of mine (which was neither lost nor destroyed), because without it, I could not process my child's.

Why does an entity echo and re-echo free birth certificate on its call lines and website, while doing the exact opposite? This is not about the money. It is about a citizen's right to accurate information from his government and its appendages.

Why is a birth certificate suddenly "invalid" because it was issued before the introduction of whatever? If another government introduces another platform, do I get to do this again? And why am I paying for a reissuance? I did not misplace or destroy it.

Why do we have to enter every damn detail about us and upload our photo everytime, even on platforms that already collected those data, times without number in the past?

When my birth certificate is reissued (if it is ever reissued), only Christ knows what I will go through when I return to the tiring site to continue the process for my child's.

Meyesa yake campaign da Turanci a Bauchi? @PaliKamaluddeen

[David Offor @DavidsOffor]

I am for anything that will make Governor Bala not to produce a successor, Bauchi state can’t be unlucky again after 8 years of misrule

Ambassador Tuggar looks like the real deal tho. Tough, intelligent, rugged and smart

I wish him well as he seeks to liberate his people

[Lawan Y Y @yuyulawan]

@aumarharuna He can pay for the 14M you mentioned without any stress and it is also possible sm1 paid for it. So you want him to spend 300k with the stress on the road and the issue of BH? Have you ever done GMB-MAID by road? Idan Allah ya hore maka, ka kashe kayanka.

[Lawan Y Y @yuyulawan]

@Farouk_Mokwa @useey_93 May Allah make it easy for us. Ameen

[Lawan Y Y @yuyulawan]

Be fair to @ProfIsaPantami did he invite them? Did he ask them to follow him? We all know how thugs follow anyone they think they might get money from. Key word “think” and some of his people might give them money it mustn’t be Prof. We should try to look at things from all angle

[ADC Vanguard @ADCVanguard_]

Flash: Sheikh Pantami was spotted with thugs carrying heavy weapons on his way to a political engagement.

His desperation to become the Governor of Gombe State is becoming increasingly disheartening.
