I don’t know what this government is getting at with this new rule of linking social media account to bank accounts. There is National Identification Number (NIN), Bank Verification Number (BVN) all linked to the bank already, are they not enough for KYC? Could it be a way to clamp citizens who make corrections or voice out their angers on them on social media a way to clamp on them and arrest them for speaking their minds?
I no even know how i go take classify dis matter like dis, e come be like say government wan take control of social medias wey suppose they anonymous, because this rule wey dem wan put go actually led to some kind issues because some people no de see something to keep quite and government go use this medium get them.
This regulation might take effect but they can’t get it 100%, not all customers that own a bank account are into social media, unless there’s an exception to those customers on this new rule. Whatever they are getting at, May it favour the citizen but not cripple them or violate their rights as citizens.
Even people with the social media handles, not everyone will follow this new rule.
Besides, there are people in remote areas that have no access to smartphone talk less of using social media platforms, or some that are illiterate that cannot even operate his phone how can they use social media?
