If you follow the trends of Nigeria's external debt, foreign reserve and price of crude you will surely come to conclusion that Jonathan administration is a scam.

Geniuses are scattered all over every corner of the earth, among every ethnic stocks and they often do not need to be formally educated to show their prowess. They are supposed to be a blessing to their society if condition permit.

Can you ever imagine a white British professor saying the following to a young proud African (actually Nigerian) scholar who studied under him at the Oxford University in the 1950s..... "Stop looking down on us Awonola..... you are only fortunate to be a genius".... The young man who turned out to be my father had the habit of taking his classmates and professors to the "cleaners"... and then he would retort (in yoruba) "jeje mi ni mo joko, eyin le wa to mi." (meaning .... I was on my own but you all provoked me)

The unfortunate thing is that the Nigerian way as in other African societies frustrates the beautiful minds among us. I can't imagine how many of such helpless mind roam the streets of Nigeria in frustration.

Baba God is too magnanimous and graceful that he would surely protect even those that do not believe in him. And sometime even those who think they believe in him get left behind.

[quote author=Wasquad][/quote]Its not fair to pass comments you are not sure of. The data on your Nigerian international passport are only captured for the first time at the embassy or at foreign entry points the first time you present your passport to an immigration officer at the port of entry. From that point they have the liberty of capturing and saving your information for their own use and to monitor how and when you enter their country. Nigeria immigration agency do not send your data to any foreign organization or agents. How many Nigerians out of the 160 million inhabitants have an international passport, and how many of these go to the embassy or get to travel out of the country.

kraba: My broda, yours is one of the few informed comments I have read on this thread, first off all 160 million nigerian phone lines were. Registered with biometrics by 3 major foreign firms and I never heard any dissenting voices then, secondly, most nigerians 16 years & above have willingly gone to submit their biometrics at one foreign embassy or the other with great pride and even paid for it.
So except for myopic political gains, I see no reason why any "progressive" mind will oppose this long over due instrument of true inclusive prosperity.
This was the same excuse used by northerners to keep us from liberalising sectors like electronic/print media, aviation, telcoms, power for so long and thesame people that are "outraged" here have been raging for the "outages" in those sectors.
What you can't do for now, outsource it until you can, it simple logic.

First of .... there are no 160 million phone (or cell phone) lines in Nigeria. Secondly, MTN and other multinationals that operate in Nigeria have subsidiaries that are subject to Nigeria' law and government control. I am not sure if the same is true for MasterCard. In fact, I would expect MasterCard to follow American government directives or law first. Going to the embassy to have your biometric taken is not the same as handing the information of all your over 100+ million citizens to a foreign private entity. How many Nigerians go to the embassy to do this...compared to over 100 million people whose information will soon be out there in the hand of the US government. No sane government will outsource the database of its citizen to a Credit Card company. We do not even have a social security system that may make the government give an excuse that this idea will ensure an easier way for some citizens to get social services or payments.... but even if that is the case... why not do that with a Nigerian outfit.

As it stands, if this plan go ahead the information of every Nigerian adult will in the long-term be in the hand of the American government. See what is happening to Google, Yahoo, etc. Why in the world would a government be happy to hand all the information of its citizen over to a private foreign entity. It's simple, most Nigerians including those in position of authority do not value information and to a large extent do not know the worth of citizen-based database that captures all the information of the adults in a country. Nigerians have a culture of doing the right things the wrong way.

And you know what?... MasterCard will now go back to sell the same information to Nigerian private companies that need it. This kind of information won't just be in the hand of MasterCard for noting. To them it's big business. I'll rather have a Nigerian private entity do this. This is a huge wrong move. I have national cards of two other countries and none of them bear any commercial logo. Damn.... "we stupid Africans again".

An international conference and workshop on oilfield biotechnology and petroleum microbiology holds April 1-3 2009 in Abuja, Nigeria. This event will bring renowned oilfield R& scientists and experts from North America, Europe, Asia, and South America to Nigeria to share their expertise and experience in oilfield biotechnology/petroleum microbiology. The event include 2-day (March 30 and 31, 2009) pre-conference courses on Oilfield Microbiology and on Bioremediation.

This is an opportunity for final year students or aspiring graduate students in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Geochemistry, Petroleum Engineering, etc, to update their knowledge and intimate themselves with current technologies in oilfield biotechnology and reservoir microbiology.

Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts that is synthesized from their thesis or research projects. Limited numbers of travel grants are available to well qualified students. Submitted abstracts from students would compete for a US$1000 worth of library collection on Petroleum and Oilfield Microbiology.

This conference is promoted by the University of Calgary (UofC, Canada) Petroleum/Reservoir Microbiology Group with the support of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (Abuja). It is organized by Cells & Environmental Systems Inc. (Canada) in partnership with its Nigerian affiliate.

You may contact Dr. A. Lambo (Chair, Organizing & Technical Programme Committee) at alambo@ucalgary.ca or at alambo@cellsenvsystems.com for more information.

Dr. Lambo is a Research Scientist with the UofC Petroleum/Reservoir Microbiology Group.

I look forward to every morning in the lab because there is always some level of anxiousness that my tiny but unseen (bacterial) armies could come up with something new.
