In a brief moment of absolute hilarity, Speaker Tambuwal sent news reporters and everyone present into laughter, when he was asked to enter a four digit PIN to activate the financial applet on the card he comically shielded the POS device from prying eyes with his 'babanriga'. Activation of the payment services on the card is optional to card recipients.
