I’ve enrolled for this national ID card since 2014, and I’m yet to be issued a permanent ID card. All I’ve to show for it is the slip.
But Anthony Joshua will most definitely get issued a permanent ID card before me.
Nigeria is for the highest bidder. https://t.co/a3Sgfg2Wps

Lucky guy. He didn’t have to wait 5 years for a piece of paper.

I did mine before gaining admission. I’ve finished serving and their HQ in Abuja doesn’t have my permanent ID card

On the flip side, Anthony Joshua would get his National ID tomorrow. He’s not a common man like you and me. This system is not meant for the common man, it’s meant for the rich and connected. Stop stressing it. Get rich or japa.
