One significant way you can identify yourself is through your voter’s card, having the voters card gives you the right to vote and be voted for. During the voter’s card registration in 2011 many had to leave for their hometown to register and most of these centers were crowded with just three (3) or four (4) officials attending to them, In 2018 another registration was conducted for those who were not of age and that was not able to register in 2011.
When I collected my voter’s card I found out that my year of birth was wrong and my name was not correct. before this time I had a bank account that has not been used for about two (2) years and one faithful day I received an alert from a company I did a job for, I went straight to the bank to withdraw and was asked to activate the account with a valid id card so I quickly gave them my voters card, the lady brought the card saying my age and my name is different from that of my bank details and I just could take that money until was able to get another Id card. I have seen people with similar issues sometimes you are asked to fill out a form at the Nigeria Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office. Because of so many reasons people with such issues were not able to solve this problem. INEC has made things easy for everyone with such issues.
