In the early hours of today, these was massive barring of MTN lines. My line was affected as well.Note: Government asked MTN to unbar the lines, however, if your NIN is not properly linked, you might still get barred in future. That is why this post is really about.I visited the official page for NIN linkages - https://ninlinking.mtn.ng/After trying to fill the form, the form said my line does not exist.'I then proceeded to try out the other option which is:\#996\*NIN#After doing this I received a message from MTN saying:Thank you for providing your VNIN \*\*\*023423432332 and consent to updat...

Yesterday, I made a post about the steps I took to reactivate my MTN line after it was barred. You can read it here: https://afr.ng/4dd97fc4.I know that the NCC asked MTN to unbar those lines, but the issue is that lines without NIN linkage will still need to be reactivated at some point in the future.So why not save yourself the stress now and fully activate your line? This way, you won't have to queue at an MTN office later.After following all the steps in the previous post, I got a confirmation from MTN that my line has been successfully linked with NIN.

In your preferred language, write a program that works out whether a given year is a leap year. A normal year has 365 days, and leap years have 366, with an extra day in February.This is how to work out whether a particular year is a leap year:*A year is a leap year if it is evenly divisible by **4** ;****except** if that year is also evenly divisible by **100**;****unless** that year is also evenly divisible by **400**.*For more context,Is the year 2400 a leap year?:2400 ÷ 4 = 600 (Leap)2400 ÷ 100 = 24 (Not Leap)2400 ÷ 400 = 6 (Leap!)So the year 2400 is a leap year.But the year 2100 is not a...
