Have noticed that many people in the society are still careless on how they share their phones that was suppose to be personal or confidential to third parties in the aim of helping with out minding the aftereffects of their actions, however uncountable innocent people has landed their self in prison for crimes they know nothing about all because of carelessness.

Have heard of a story how some group of kidnappers did some dirty shit and when it was time to request for the ransom none of them wanted to use their phone to make the call so that they wouldn't be trace through it so one of them brought an idea of using some one else phone, after every transaction have been made the police swing in to action and by the time of investigation the innocent woman that they use her phone was arrested, despite all her claims for not being involved nobody want to hear her out, today she is suffering for a crime she knows nothing about all because of a
her carelessness and negligent of sensitive things that needed more attention.

Conclusion, do no share your phone to third parties, always protect your phone from unauthorized access,  my people make una wise up oh.

This is not news. I remember when I small, that time na call center people take dey make phone calls you go buy minutes for the call agent hand then you go stand there make your call. And that time police dey come give those people wahala if them trace criminal case to that particular call center.

Today, things dey different. Mobile phones dey everywhere and before you go buy sim you go link your BVN and NIN so nowhere to hide if them use your line do anything shady.

Normally e dy happen  sometimes someone you dont even know might walk up to you and request to ues your phone for a minute call and been a generous person you offer your phone to the person with out bearing in mind the intention of the person.

So what you are trying to say is that we should not be giving a helping hands to people who doesn't have airtime on there phones to make calls or we should be standing close to them while they make their calls in other to monitor what kind of call their are making.

The awareness not give out you phone for any stranger to make call is high on the internet space, yet people are still falling victim to it, which has landed many innocent people to prison, some people even dash out there sim card to people, its crazy that most people do not take their safety seriously. once the police get to know the real owner of the number in case of crime, you be the first person to be arrested then you get to prove your innocent in the court. No matter the please do nor share your phone to people to use to call, instead buy them card to load it on their phone.

We still some people that give out there NIN for friends to use it to register sim, forgetting that their are risky their lives. NiN contain your full details, and if your friend use the line that is connected to your NIN to fraud people, you are in trouble.  Never share your sim nor your Nin to people, you will pay for it.

Seriously, people tend to underestimate how unsafe it is to give other people access to their phone or their personal details such as NIN. When your number/information is associated with crime, then it is your headache even though you might be innocent. It is fearful that there are still those people whom will casually provide their sim or NIN without even considering the repercussions. It is far safer to buy that person his or her own sim card or phone credit. Preservation of your identity and phone is actually preservation of oneself against the hassle that one did not initiate. This is something which everyone ought to take seriously.

A decade ago in Nigeria people could get away with cyber crime, kidnapping and other heinous crimes but fast forward to day with the introduction of NIN by the government, we are gradually seeing a decline
With the introduction of linking our to NIN, people have to be extremely careful with whom they hand their phones to because as we all know most of your vital informations are requested during the NIN registration including your fingerprints. Imagine your sim falling into the wrong hands and it's use for something  illegal, how would you defend yourself?
We should be extremely careful bearing in mind that all trails will lead back to you.

This topic reminds me about what happened the previous day, a friend of mine don't even know who took his phone when he was asleep and logged in into his micro-finance banking and took a loan of 5k and the guy didn't even realize that until the due date. then he got a call from those micro-finance banking and they were telling him that his loan is becoming due that he should try to pay back on time to avoid having bad record, the guy was a bit confused as he can't remember taking a loan from them. But there's this guy that live with him in the same house he told me that the guy has full access to that account but when he asked him the guy said that he was not the one, so instead of accusing him of doing such when he's not even sure that he's the one that took the loan so he decided to let it go. So I learnt that is not good to trust too much especially those that you called friends because you might choose to trust them 100% due to the relationship you have built with them by disclosing your details to them but is wrong you might think is normal but dip down they're not who you think they are.

We all know how sim card dey important, so one no suppose joke with him own. Anybody wey no get phone, or no get sim card no really belong to this generation, or better still, the person na mediocre wey no know say information na power.

I wonder how those kind of people dey fit stay without receiving calls form their friend and their colleagues. Them dey live primitive life and e go certainly make them lose so many opportunities wey dem for get for life.
We know how e dey affect us when we misplace our sim card. So we can all conclude that Sim card and phone  is not what one should be careless about.
