For my peeps in Nigeria and the diaspora who are not aware of this new requirement that shuts you out of your bank accounts starting from January 2026, here is the link to obtaining your Nigerian Tax ID if you have a BVN and/ or NIN already: https://tin.jtb.gov.ng/TinIndividualRequestExternal
Here is how to obtain your individual TIN:
1. Gather your BVN or NIN.
2. Go to the TIN Registration Portal using the link above.
3. Fill in your information: Your BVN and/or NIN, full name, date of birth, phone number, and address.
4. Submit your application afterward
5. Receive Your TIN: Your TIN will be generated and provided to you, usually within 48 h.
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
