So You Linked Your NIN To Your SIM? Telcos Say: “Hold My Line, We’re Cutting Yours!”

Turns out, those pesky phone lines are playing hide-and-seek with Nigerian subscribers, thanks to a little game called “NIN or No Network.” Apparently, linking your National Identification Number to your SIM card is like whispering your deepest secrets to a leaky bucket – it’s all disappearing into the telecom void.

Imagine the scene: You wake up, eager to conquer the day with a glorious scroll through cat memes and questionable political arguments. But instead of the familiar hum of your phone, you’re greeted with a chilling silence. That’s right, your line has been barred, banished to the digital Siberia for… wait, what was it again? Oh yeah, not linking your NIN properly.

So, in the spirit of this technological travesty, let’s raise a toast (with our offline, non-buzzing phones) to:

• The telecoms, who are apparently running a secret “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” game show, where the only prize is a functioning phone line.
• The Nigerian Communications Commission, who are busy playing whack-a-mole with unregistered SIM cards, while subscribers scream into the void.
• The National Identification Number, which is proving about as useful as a chocolate teapot in a digital storm.

But fear not, fellow phone-deprived comrades! For in the face of this absurdity, we shall find humor. We shall meme our way through this network blackout. We shall turn our silent screens into canvases for hilarious air-drawn doodles. We shall rediscover the joy of face-to-face interaction (or, at least, yelling at our neighbors through the walls).

So chin up, friends! Let the laughter ring out, even if it’s only in our heads. Because in the end, what’s a little phone-less purgatory compared to the endless amusement of a situation this ridiculous?

P.S. If anyone has a carrier pigeon for rent, please DM me. My family needs to know I’m still alive (and mildly annoyed).
