The New Multi-national Identity Card.to Be Or Not To Be?

What interests me most in this country of ours is that you cannot stay in a day without seeing or hearing a surprising thing(s). Everyday we keep on talking about re-branding of the country when we have not really re-branded ourselves. Some few years ago the Federal Government came up with the National Identity Card which the entire Nations welcome with utmost gladness through the National Identity Card Commission.

Just yesterday the Federal Government came up with a surprising package that by next year there will be a New Multi-purpose National Identity Card to be headed by Mr.Azezi.The question some of us are asking is do they really know that they are wasting our tax payer’s money? Do they really know that they are taking the Country backward?

If I may ask, the former Identity Card took the Nation many years to produce which they are trying to discard; personnel’s were trained both within and outside the country. Does it mean they do not know that the Identity Card lacks a lot of features, does it mean there was no feasibility study that was carried out then or that the people that are in charge then was incompetent?

Why I am asking all this questions is that this does not tell well of the Country and apart from this that they are taking us backward and a waste on the tax payers money. Let us be responsible enough because all what they are trying to do is to create an avenue for a cabre in the Country to squander our national resources. Please in the name of God enough of this economic waste.     

The Hausa/Fulani oligarchs will never allow a real ID card, because it would undermine their strategic interest.

ID cards in nigeria!!

don't make me laugh.

A nation that does not have a proper,workable  mechanism for registering births ,deaths and migration should not talk of ID card.Because anyone can get access to one!

I am still waiting for the previous ID card the country purportedly issued to all Nigerians. This politicians have become a vicious cycle of problems to Nigeria.

ID wat

Its anoda 2011 calculation to win elections,have u guys forgotten the stories behind the last one that was neva conclusive.Obasanjo and his cohort used it to win the 2003 elections.Afolabi was made to pay for it wen the fraud was discovered,and the census monies was for 2007 elections.Anytime an election year is coming watch out for a white elephant project 

i concur with u bro , i wonder the difference this so called multi-national ID card will make when a good number of the old id's havent been given out to Nigerians.

Make dem go chop shit jare!!! Na so so grammer dem dey talk! what happened to the former one?

The idea of the ID card is good and there is no way one would come out with something that Nigerians won't complain about. I think it's good for those that dosen't have presently. Thanks,   

I loathe, interestingly!

true talk my dear. what are they taking the rest of us for? God pun.sh dem

What is the assurance that these ones will not be discarded?

you have began a trend of tribalizing issues lately. not a good look. 

hummmmmmm

The money spent on the first ID was meant for ID with chip tat would carries an individual whole data but they end up coming up with student ID card and pocket Billions of Dollar.

No electricity, No CCTV, No good road, No good government, No GPS. How to restructure the country.
