If this is akin to the US SS# system why would any Nigerian be against it Oh, let me gues some of the potential excuses: 1.Nigeria is not yet developed for such an important scheme. 2. It just cost too much money 3. It will help expose Nigeria's criminally maligned census figures. 4. The ruling party wouldn't like it. 5. Sultan and emirs have issued a fatua condemning the scheme. 6. That money could have been used to send more Nigerians on religious pilgrimage 7. We've tried it before, and found it useless 8. It's useless 9. The office is dominated by people from a rival tribe 10. It's against our religion to issue women such biometric number, because it's against our customs and religion. Others |

naijaking1: Unfortunately this as you said is NOT akin to the US systems, we all know it will never work in Nigeria, not that the ID Card programme itself but we know this is just a way of embezzling more Money! |

Interesting. Obviously it's something that needs to be studied carefully. There's pros and cons to such schemes. I don't know enough about it to make a judgement yet. However just because the US and UK etc are going crazy collecting everyone's data doesn't mean we should do the same by default. I do know many citizens in both countries think their governments have gone too far in collecting and monitoring data to the point that it's almost a police state. One only has to look at elements of the U.S. Patriot act to see how dangerous this can be. So we have to take things step by step and consult with the public. Of course this consultation won't happen by the way. :-) I know that. I'm just saying that's the ideal thing to do. |

It will be a very good thing if it will work, i believe Nigeria is getting somewhere despite that some unpatriotic Nigerians never see anything good coming out of the country, but at times if God want to lift you up, it comes in a strange manner that might seem confusing but it works at the end. |

Nigerians will never stop fallin my hands.d look 4 different legal means 2 steal money.kai,which 1 b dis again. Am yet 2 even see d 1st 1 i did years ago.na wa |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by naijaking1: 9:23am On Jun 07, 2011 |
AdamuW: For someone who doesn't know enough to make judgement, you surely know too much about why it shouldn't be used in Nigeria. You sound more like someone basing their argument on #10 above. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by daywatcher: 9:23am On Jun 07, 2011 |
Would it help with preparing for the 1015 elections? |

it sounds good but implementation nko? lets wait and see, |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by dustydee: 9:36am On Jun 07, 2011 |
Good idea but execution will be the major challenge. My prediction: some people will be accused of embezzling or misappropriating the funds meant for the scheme. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by MMM2(m): 9:40am On Jun 07, 2011 |
dam it some1 is abt 2 become a billon again. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by Engen(m): 9:41am On Jun 07, 2011 |
Some people just like criticism,they just criticized without a viable justifications, this is a good scheme for the benefit of the Nation, if you don't have anything to hide why should you be afraid or skeptical about a policed state, in the UK all my data can be verified, I dnt have any problem with this because I have nothing to hide, for years the Northern population has been so difficult to verify and even the south so this will help us a great deal. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by fasa2020(m): 9:48am On Jun 07, 2011 |
why complainin about d money to be spent? Are'nt you aware dt billions of naira are wasted yearly on budget due to fake hike censors figures in d country? In fact, this is a welcome idea and i pray God shall lead us through. God bless Nigeria. |

[size=14pt]S[/size]ocial [size=14pt]I[/size]nsurance [size=14pt]N[/size]umber Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ANTI-CHRIST IS AROUND THE CORNER. WHEN EVERY HUMAN IS NUMBERLIZED AND SERIALIZED! THEN THE GLOBAL STAGE WILL BE PREPARED FOR THE WORLD GOVERNMENT HEADED BY THE MAN OF SIN. JUST AS YOU HAVE NIGERIAN CODE AS +234, THE GLOBAL NUMBER WOULD BE 666. THE + IN THE 234 MEANS SOMETHING ELSE SHOULD COME BEFORE IT. SO THE 666 THAT WILL BE INTRODUCED WILL BE A MARK THAT EVERYONE WHO SUBMITS TO THE WORLD LEADER WILL HAVE AS A SIGN OF ALLIGIANCE. TO ESCAPE THIS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT BEYOND ALL THESE OUR POLITICAL AND EARTHLY STRUGGLES, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS GUARANTEED AND THAT IF RAPTURE TAKES PLACE, YOU WON'T BE LEFT BEHIND |

Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by Reference(m): 9:56am On Jun 07, 2011 |
fasa2020: Yeah and as a matter of fact if this is the program I'm aware of, this is a private sector initiative and we will be paying for this one not government just like International passports. If its is. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 10:08am On Jun 07, 2011 |
The ID Card program is progressive and over-due. but the FACT of the matter remains, You don't just wake up one lazy sunday morning and decide you will commence Biometric ID cards production/registration in a months time There is Orientation and Awareness, Feasibility Studies that look at risks for failure and prove and ensure success, there is Government buy-in, there are other stake-holders in terms of government agencies from Security, health, Transportation, Banking etc that need to know how they fit in. It is a laudable project, but we all know that without planning, you have planned to faill. i.e another money guzzling opportunity for party loyalists and corrupt contractors |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by anishe(m): 10:16am On Jun 07, 2011 |
A good write up to convince intelligent minds but i doubt its workability in Nigeria. The basic social amenities like electricity to back up this laudable project is in shamble. I will advise the govt. to still hold on this and other such projects pending when there will be stable electricity. My own copy of the last National ID Card is still yet to be delivered to me. may be lost in transit-not sure though. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by edoyad(m): 10:19am On Jun 07, 2011 |
Awesome idea, well it's been an awesome idea for a while now, never seems to take off though. The problem now will be ghost citizens, i.e. corrupt officials registering phantom citizens into the database |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by mrofficial(m): 10:25am On Jun 07, 2011 |
enyojo: You're getting it wrong here. I myself have had this thought, tho, I don't support the biometric. But with the Identification card, we'll be able to carry out free and fair election. And also it will curb crime. Do you know when US has been using the SSN? If this can be carried out with a secure database where your identification number will be checked before you can vote, it will be great. Then it will be bye bye to electoral fraud. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by naijaking1: 10:26am On Jun 07, 2011 |
lagerwhenindoubt: Good talk The people trying to deny this project would never come out to show their true motive, instead they will tell you it'll cost too much, it's useless, etc. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by Odunnu: 10:43am On Jun 07, 2011 |
So does this cancel the previous one? |

This is what Fela calls PERAMBULATOR We are just going round in circles. |
Re: Yet Another National I.D. Card Scheme by proudly9ja(m): 11:13am On Jun 07, 2011 |
The National ID is a MUST for Nigeria. I understand the pessimism shown by many. I am also pessimistic about us gettting it right. But as a Nigerian, I can only pray we get it right this time. Its very important. |
