Am curious. How do you make calls now? Did you resort to using Whatsapp for calling your contacts? How do you call your grandma back in the village?

I can spend weeks without calling anyone but I'm currently using a SIM registered by a sibling for those few times when I really need to.

Can I walk over to the NIMC (Identity Management commission) office to get one? Yes. Will I? We'll see about that.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the process of getting the national identity number is fraught with corruption and you might typically need to pay under the table to fast track it.

Just another Saturday in the "Giant of Africa."

This comment was inexplicably dead so I vouched it.
