Reactions have continued to trail the post with many saying that the boxer would get his National ID card soon as against most people who haven’t gotten theirs since registering over 6 years ago.
See some reactions below:
I've enrolled for this national ID card since 2014, and I'm yet to be issued a permanent ID card. All I've to show for it is the slip.
But Anthony Joshua will most definitely get issued a permanent ID card before me.

On the flip side, Anthony Joshua would get his National ID tomorrow. He's not a common man like you and me. This system is not meant for the common man, it's meant for the rich and connected. Stop stressing it. Get rich or japa.

Anthony Joshua has gotten the National ID he enrolled for the same day. I registered since 2015, maybe the original will be out by the time I am done having children.
Very insane country.

Did you guys tell Anthony Joshua that his National ID won't be ready till 2030 or we should tell him? https://t.co/tTTEQXH6FS

All of you are complaining that Anthony Joshua got his NIN the same day he registered for it.
As if you people knocked out Andy Ruiz

All I'm waiting for is how long it will take Anthony Joshua to get his National ID after registration, because some people have registered since 2015 and they're yet to get it, with the lil Mathematics that I know, Anthony Joshua should get his National ID by 2025 or we protest.
