sniperwolf: Nigerian Banks and their cost management style. They will switch instantly when hackers start taking advantage of the loopholes due to discontinuation of XP support. They are all vulnerable to attacks
Not only Nigerian Banks it s a world wide issue.

Do you know MSE don't work on win 8 and Win defender don't auto scan and update.

Most APPs in the APP store not the same with the standard apps. e.g You can installed old version of VLC on win8, but the VLC in the APP store is different so you cant update the old one unless you install the one from APP store.

sniperwolf: Anybody complaining of Windows 8 forgets that the world evolves and they should too. The earlier issue I had was that I was unable to play Halo 2, but I found a way to play it on Windows 8.1
It's not all Technology innovations you adopt because some of them are actually flops.

Why do you think most ATM stayed on with Xp until MS decided to discontinue XP support.

People don't just adopt technology because it's new, but because it's works.

Windows 8 is a technology flop and MS admits that.

Please tell me of what use is the knowledge of BH password and their camp formations as revealed by a captured member to a civilian/ ordinary Nigerian? Are you planning on going to join BH? Or is SH broadcasting this so that BH will know that they've been compromised and take cover.

Any journalist will tell you that there are stories you kill and the ones you tell

In football, when the team
you are supporting scores a
goal, you announce it by
shouting goaaal!!. Even your
neighbours who don’t have
Television will know that your team have scored. When
the other team scores, you
keep quiet and those outside
won’t even know that a goal
was scored.
Now this is how you know
the supporters of Terrorism.
When they hear that
terrorists have bombed
Nyanya or Madaballa, they
announce it all over facebook, post
pictures to prove it, source the
net for the most horrible
pictures they can find so they
can spread, all to magnify the
efforts of their team.Even when the authorities say 30
people were killed, they say
its a lie, and claim it was up to
10,000 people. They do
everything to magnify the
efforts of the terrorist.
But when they hear that
Nigerian soldiers have killed 50
terrorist, they keep quiet.
Even when they talk, they
mock the story, arguing it
was exaggerated. Some even ask for evidence . When they
hear that a terrorist have been
arrested or extradited, they
keep quiet, mock the efforts
of the security officers and
try to diminish their efforts.
Some have made themselves
Boko Haram Public
Relation Officers. While the
military is struggling to
spread information and inspire
people,create hope and encourage their men at the
fronts, Boko Haram won’t
even spend money and some
people will spread their evil
gospel for free, create panic,
spread fear and gradually paint a picture of
hopelessness source ACHEKWU BUNZA fb

Yes the NID is not giving to Mastercard, but the payment system for the initial 13 million nigerians getting the NID are going to Mastercard.

Thats way local companies are complaining, also knowing that it will be difficult for them to catch up with Mastercard, if they are allowed to join in the future.
PoliticsRe: SCANDALOUS: Outrage In Nigeria As Government Brands National ID Card With Master by emmatok(m): 10:53pm On Aug 31, 2014
This, according to experts, can be done through effective development and implementation of local content laws for the country’s payment systems. “Technically, MasterCard will work. There is no technology they cannot support. But it is time to grow our African giants. Why would government give an American company a project like the national identity scheme? Can the US award such a contract to a Nigerian firm?

“Should’nt government be promoting its own? Domestic card schemes should be used for things of national interest such as agriculture farmers cards, national and state ID cards to help protect our soverignity”, said a senior executive at SecureID Nigeria, who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak.

Christabel Onyejekwe, executive director at the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement Systems (NIBSS) however does not see anything wrong with MasterCard International’s participation in the national identity scheme. In an interview with BusinessDay, she said,”they have the competence and expertise to deliver on this national project. MasterCard have been strong collaborators in Nigeria’s card payment ecosystem. We are in a thriving global economy and MasterCard International is critical to facilitating global card payments. “

Interestingly, about 85 percent of Nigerians conduct local payment transactions. Only about 7.7 percent of Nigerians use cards abroad on foreign webistes. She acknowledged that local card schemes do possess the requisite capacity to handle the national identity project.

Industry insiders say government’s decision to award the contract to MasterCard is questionable, considering that local players in the ecosystem such as Interswitch, E-transact, 3line Nigeria and SecureID have all shown high levels of competency in processing and issuance of payment cards.

Statistics show that Verve, a local card operator controls about 60 percent of the market. In view of this, Ken Ugbechie, promoter of the Nigerian Content Advocacy Initiative (NiCADI), says it is inconceivable that such business should be given to an American company whose primary interest is to buffer their own economy.

“We know that all MasterCard’s payments processing in Nigeria are being handled competently by Interswitch, Card Technology Limited, and Unified Payments. Today, over 70 percent of bank customers in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, use Verve payment cards from Interswitch, Genesis Payment cards from eTranzact and Freedom Card from 3Line Card Management Limited for their day-to-day payment transactions.

“ What then is the rationale for giving the payments transactions of our National Identity card to MasterCard, a foreign company?”, he further added in a press statement.

According to him, the combined workforce of the three Nigerian firms with competencies in payment cards, runs into over 300 highly-skilled staff, “whereas MasterCard can only boast of a handful of Nigerians working as marketing executives for the company”.

Despite the competence of local card operators, NIMC’s contractual agreement with Mastercard stipulates that local card operators cannot come on board the scheme until after the initial 13 million smartcards have been issued.

Omobola Johnson, minister of communications technology, sees this as a wrong approach, especially as it concerns growing local economies.


This is in view of the enormous potential such initiatives as the ‘Cashless economy’, spearheaded by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the national and state identity management schemes and the telecoms industry’s requirement for SIM cards are throwing up. “There are a number of local companies that have the capacity to not only produce cards, but to also personalise them. Direct interventions must be made to ensure that a significant share of this market is captured by firms operating in Nigeria, with of course the neccessary high security assurances in place,” Johnson added, in a recent presentation.

In response to the 50 question on Nigeria’s economy, posed by the House of Representatives’ committee on finance, Okonjo-Iweala, coordinating minister of the economy, said in view of set standards, MasterCard presents the best financial platform for the project. Verve Card, she added had earlier rejected the same project in 2010, claiming it was not profitable. According to her, three Nigerian companies (Auspoint Limited; E-PayPlus Limited; and Telnet Nigeria Lmited) with foreign partners, were recently cleared by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and approved by the Federal Executive Council (FCC) to produce the cards.

About four years ago, two local consortia (Chams Consortium and OneSecureCard Consortium) had signed an agreement with NIMC as front-line partners for the national ID project.

It was learnt that the structure of the transaction changed completely upon the commission securing FEC approval for N30 billion for the purchase of cards and support of nationwide rollout of operational capacity.

rhymz: I clearly understand your point, and to tell you the truth, I also have issues with that but when you consider the fact that this is business and the best negotiations many times win over national allegiance or any local consideration, you will slightly adjust your views.

You and I know MasterCard came with the big break that the project needed FUNDING and technical know-how that none of the locals were Willing to give even after many of them have had the opportunity to do so. You can't fault government or MasterCard for this, it is all business and profitability. Both MasterCard and NIMC aim to make profits from this, outside of the benefits this exercise .....so it is all business.
The bolded is exactly where i'm heading to.

And if MasterCard is a funding partner, then they(MasterCard) have have the right to make money from this investment.

But when other Nigerian payment companies like INTERSWITCH and ETRANZACT, realize this they are gonna raise dust and start a media campaign against MasterCard and the Government.

I can tell right now that some Bank are not even happy that Access bank is the only bank on the scheme.

But as you said lets wait and see if other payment systems and banks join the scheme in the future.
PoliticsRe: SCANDALOUS: Outrage In Nigeria As Government Brands National ID Card With Master by emmatok(m): 9:30pm On Aug 31, 2014
rhymz: OK, so your argument has taken a shift now to the appropriateness of just MasterCard handling the whole payment structure of the entire exercise. Just so you know, this is pilot exercise and the plan is to use just MasterCard to get 13million PPl on the payment platform after which the main exercise will take off involving others, for now it is a pilot project. perhaps you should take your time to understand how this things work. The database is still strictly going to be with NIMC and any information shared with third party payment platform is going to be encrypted, hope you know they also have some data encryption companies working in the project as well.

Just the way your bank shares account related information with verve vise and their likes when you use your ATM. they don't store your data, the banks do that, that's why they have data centers...master card to the best of my knowledge does not have database here in Nigeria. so make una relax.
I am looking at this issue from a business standpoint.
Giving MASTERCARD 15 million Nigerians is not a small deal.

MASTERCARD is not an NGO, they are out to maximize profit from this deal.
Thats the WALL-STREET style.
Why didn't the government liberalized the system(allowing other payment platform) from the beginning.
Giving Nigerians option to choose which payment platform they want.

I am surprised that Nigeria own INTERSWITCH and QUICKTELLER were not involved.

all4naija: Silly Nigerians keep throwing away every good opportunity thinking they no better. It is a shame for those who are against this national ID in conjunction with Mastercard. It is no longer exclusive to have modern hand extended to the ordinary citizens in a more secured way than this. What a great idea indeed!
Corruption remains a major issue in Nigeria, however, and has been credited by Transparency International as being the root cause of the rise of the terror organisation Boko Haram.

Civil liberties NGO Privacy International, which has raised concerns about misuse of surveillance data in Nigeria in the past — including the arrest of four journalists last year — said that the ambition of the data integration is worrying.

"Centralising and combining government databases makes it easy to link together pieces of information about an individual and build a near complete picture of someone’s life," said the organisation’s legal officer, Anna Crowe.

"This type of capability is extremely invasive. The crucial issue is to put in place safeguards that guarantee fundamental principles of data protection are being respected, such as only using data for the purposes for which it was collected. This is extremely challenging for any country, let alone one that already faces significant challenges around corruption and ensuring respect for human rights."

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the cards, however, is that they combine a civil national identity scheme with a strongly commercial initiative. The new cards won't just operate as proof of identity for citizens — they also function as payment cards backed by the local Access Bank and carry the Mastercard logo on the back.

"National ID schemes can prove problematic in many respects, but commercialisation of such a scheme raises additional, and serious, questions," Crowe said. "What does Mastercard and the bank's involvement entail? Will data be shared for commercial gain? How can Nigerians be confident that their right to privacy is being upheld?

"When you register to vote you are doing so for a specific purpose — to be able exercise your rights — not to see your information handed on to a private company without your consent or knowledge."
