This guy men.. in the USA everybody has number if u don't have it u can't buy or rent hus or even work.. This the only way forward.. it has nothing to do with the yeye mark of the beast. Nigeria and their religious mentality.

mekaboy: Well its bound to happen. All this is in preparation to usher in the man of lawlessness(anti-christ). It will be the same worldwide. Eventually there will be one world currency and govt. Since ur bank details, is linked to ur finger print. You will not have access to ur funds unless u have the mark of the beast.

Its happening before our eyes.

Me_Aboki: They should consider face recognition technology instead.

adconline:
Stupidity runs in ur DNA. You should include Internet ias a mark of the "beast" anti-Christ.

bassdow:

Hmm. Na wa for U o. We are complaining of finger amputation and U are suggesting of Face recognition. Omo that one go be head Amputation and we all knows what that means. Well I have never used ATM since I started banking since 1999 though am being charged for withdrawal and I do a lot of transactions but with careful planning and determination not to use the ATM but am ok with it cos banks fraud customers via ATM and If they force people to Use this new technology (finger print), I will just go back to the traditional way of saving money.

smart134: even if they have ur thumb...they dnt have the password

A simple word 4 ur personality!
TECHNOPHOBIA!!!!

sambas: The Central Bank of
Nigeria and the Bankers
Committee on Tuesday
sealed a biometric
solution pact with a
German Firm,
Dermalog, for the
development of a
payment system that
would be driven by
fingerprints.
The move, according
to the Governor, CBN,
Mr. Lamido Sanusi, will
help to revolutionise
the country’s payment
system.
For instance, unlike the
current practice where
different instruments
are used as means of
identification, bank
customers will from
2014 be identified
through their
fingerprints.
Sanusi, while speaking
at the signing of the
agreement, which was
held at the central
bank’s headquarters in
Abuja, noted that the
system would become
operational on
February 14, 2014.
The move followed the
recommendation of a
sub-committee chaired
by the Group
Managing Director,
Zenith Bank Plc, Mr.
Godwin Emefiele.
The committee, made
up of the Group
Managing Directors of
Access Bank Plc, First
Bank of Nigeria
Limited, United Bank
for Africa Plc, Union
Bank of Nigeria Plc and
Skye Bank Plc, had
shortlisted Dermalog as
the company to
develop a database for
the banking sector.
Emefiele said, “The
company that was
awarded the contract
has been given a very
ambitious deadline,
and before the contract
was awarded, it agreed
that it would deliver in
90 days.
“The first phase of the
project will connect
the central data to the
banks as well as the
central bank and the
Nigeria Interbank
Settlement System. We
believe that the
company will do so,
and by February 14,
2014, we are all very
optimistic and looking
forward for a gift from
the banking industry.
“The cost of the project
is above $50m and the
banks, in their wisdom
and in line with their
collaborative efforts,
are going to be sharing
the cost of the project,
and no customer is
going to be charged
for this project.”
Explaining the reason
for the project, Sanusi
said it would help to
provide a single
biometric database that
would serve the
purpose of
authentication as well
as address the issues of
money laundering,
fraud, credit extension
and financial inclusion.
He said, “The vision is
that this will go beyond
the banks and it is a
very tight deadline that
I have set for the
committee and the
committee has
discussed with
Dermalog; and in three
months, we can
officially say that every
single Nigerian bank is
connected to the
system; and hopefully
in the coming months,
we will expect every
customer of every
branch of every bank
in Nigeria to have
complied to this, but it
goes beyond the
banking system.
“We have about a
thousand microfinance
banks; we have
customers of pension
fund administrators; we
have customers of
insurance companies;
we have people who
deal with the stock
market, and the vision
for this is that everyone
that deals with the
financial system should
have his biometric data
captured, and this will
be used for
identification,
verification and
authentication.”
Sanusi said the project
would not have any
negative impact on the
national identity card
project, adding that the
biometric database of
the banking sector
would help to
complement the
Federal Government’s
identity management
project.
He said, “For a long
time, we have been
waiting for the national
identity card system
and progress is being
made, and I will like to
use this opportunity to
let everybody
understand that the
banking industry
project is not in any
way incompatible with
the national identity
process.”

masonkz: This thread and some comments prove why Nigeria will be backward for a VERY long time.



Instead of embracing technology, they say it's Anti-Christ.

masonkz:


WTF kinda mentality is this?? Grow some brains man!!!

Me_Aboki: They should consider face recognition technology instead.
I currently have finger print security pass for my laptop and the thing isn't always reliable, moisture and small amount of grease on the finger sometimes to affects it; besides, though funny and at the same time horrible to contemplate, the risk of finger amputations at the hands of criminals is quite a serious and realistic concern worthy of giving other options a good look.

What atavistic notion makes You think tech. operation makes a nation advanced. It rather makes them dependent. you're far withdrawn from the essence of society. Some folks can't see beyond their bedroom. Apparently, Privacy is not a word you're familiar with...when you're still stuck with parents. Let me give You a tip bobby..any man who possess your Biometrics and routine 's a potential enemy. FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, YAHOO,TUBE,alls done. You ever consider the effect if all these be combined. Read Orwell's 1984 & rid yourself of this misery.

Sakes:

No man......!!!!!! You gotta think. Not the mark or beast. But, think of how much less privacy you'll have & how disposable you'll be with this. Already, much about You is known through the network sites..... You ever consider the effect if these Infos be combined. Assange ,Michael Jackson & other political victims who suffered this feat will tell you better. You need not bother though, if You want to. exist & not Live. Read Orwell's 1984. it's all well anticipated.

sambas: Just saw it on ait news, Banks in Nigeria to replace atm card with finger print. I don't know if i'm the only one against this development, with the current security pros.Is it not better to loose an atm card to robbers than a finger in every attack?

gidzbobby:

bros you better don't fear me o, my father's asserts and mine are plenty in different banks o...... besides i still dey sin... whenever i see posts like this, i get

Israelmossaic: I believe we are getting it all wrong. It may not be all about finger print. The pin. Could follow. What if the person goes with ur finger and doesn't have ur pin? So let's be optimistic, it may be one of those international best practices
