I don't just know what happens to black nations when God was sharing brains

Abuja (AFP) - Nigeria's President Goodluck
Jonathan on Thursday launched a national
electronic identity card scheme, which backers said would boost access to financial and government services in Africa's most populous nation. The head of state was issued with his own card, which features a credit card-style chip with personal as well as biometric data and doubles up as a prepaid charge and debit card.

A number of Nigerian government agencies, from the police to the Independent National Electoral Commission, have embarked on their own separate ID card schemes. But Jonathan said the plan was to eventually
include details such as driving licence, health
insurance, tax and pension information on the single card.


"The regime of duplication of biometric databases must now have to give way to harmonisation and unification with the e-ID scheme, which shall be the primary database," he told reporters. Only 32 percent of Nigeria's adult population are thought to have bank accounts, according to a 2012 study. Nigeria's central bank has been pushing for a move away from cash to electronic payments and has trialled a scheme in the financial capital, Lagos, with
the help of private partners.

But the pilot project has not been plain sailing, with retailers and customers often facing frequent power supply and connectivity problems that slowed down transactions.

The cards will be available initially to Nigerians aged 16 and older and all residents in the country for more than two years. Cardholders will be given a unique national
identification number and have to provide
fingerprint data, a photo and digital signature to cut the risk of fraud and embezzlement.


The scheme has so far cost about seven billion naira ($42.5 million, 32 million euros), according to the National Identity Management Commission. Financial services firm MasterCard, the scheme's
payment technology provider, said 13 million cards
would be available in the first phase, with more
than 100 million to be issued in total. "Nigeria is ready for this," the firm's head of Sub-
Saharan African operations, Daniel Mohin, told AFP. "Nigeria has been left out of electronic financial
payment for decades but now Nigeria is saying we
want to take our rightful place in payment. There
has not been a project of this magnitude... that's
been rolled out at this scale." Africa's most populous nation has an unenviable
reputation for fraud, particularly involving financial
transactions. But Monehin said the card was "secured with the
best form of security that is available".

By spacetime, 18 hrs ago ___ so when you win the lottery again for a
5th time this month, you can be readily
identified

By Duh, 18 hrs ago The word "Scheme" is key to Nigeria's
plan. But I doubt that it'll work until they
shrink the IDs to fit in a person's wallet.

By Tony, 18 hrs ago "NOTEWORTHY,"......in principle!

By William, 18 hrs ago Nigeria, scheme, and financial are three
words you don't want to see together.


By mysaug, 17 hrs ago We need same thing in USA.


By J., 17 hrs ago It would be nice to carry only one card
instead of a dozen.


By A, 17 hrs ago The problem is that Nigeria is so awash
with corruption and fraud that these cards
will soon become easy targets for identity
theft.


By Farad Qewberst, 4 hrs ago I'm getting mine in the mail! All I have to
do is send my bank account number and
pin, and they'll wire transfer me tens of
thousands of dollars for participating, and
all I have to do is send them a few
thousand for processing fees. As soon as the will of the long lost Nigeria uncle is I
had gets processed, I'll be a millionaire
anyway, so a few thousand is a drop in the
bucket to me. I mean, seiously, what could
possible go wrong here? It's fool proof.


By Not Andy, 16 mins ago A national ID used to prevent Voter Fraud.
Why didn't we think of that ?

By Tony Romo Sucks, 3 hrs ago Is there an Ebola status?

By Harvard, 54 mins ago First the Nigerians rounded up the Gay's and no one spoke out, now they're assigning NUMBERS to HUMANS and no one is speaking out, so what happens when they come for you? They'll be no one left. Anyone who thinks a National ID card is a good idea is a fool. Even the US Social Security number has been tweaked into being a national card and our founding
fathers were concerned this would happen and it did.


By Raevyn N. Brae, 4 hrs ago When you call something a "scheme", it makes it seem like the President of Nigeria is trying to trick everyone with some sort of fake ID plan. You should probably call it an "initiative" rather than a "scheme".


By Jason, 2 hrs ago Oh Nigeria, you and your schemes.


By Ashford, 2 hrs ago People should stop turn positive
development in Nigeria to negative so they
would feel good. Those who say negative
things about Nigeria should first think of
America, her history and the affairs of
today even those that reference Nigeria with scam. The most idiotic successful
scams are from Wall Street, banks, big
businesses and the members of congress.
Have you been to Las Vegas, Miami, Los
Angelis and New York to see various
scams in action? Last time I looked, Bernie Madoff was not from Nigeria. In the history
of scammers, #$%$ and so forth, our
country, the United States produced the
largest number of criminal scammers and
outlaws, which were copied by people
around the world. You should learn your history and stop pointing fingers. You
might even be a scammer as well because
scammers are the first to talk against
scammer to deviate the attention. The scam
you referenced to Nigeria are done by
Nigeria wise guys and foreign #$%$s who may be Americans, European who are
criminal trying to take what is not theirs,
conspire to steal other people's money but
were trapped in the scheme. According to
what I have read, the origin of that scam
(419) came about as the way Nigeria officials used scheme money away from
Nigeria to foreign countries in
collaboration with foreign #$%$s and
banks. It then became an investigative
method used to find out how Nigerian
wealth were leaving Nigeria in massive number, and how easy foreigners were
readily available to become accomplice is
stealing Nigerian wealth. As this became
open, the people with twisted minds used
it to get back to those willing to steal
Nigerian’s wealth. The bottom line is that whoever was entrapped in that scheme is
a criminal, and possibly more of the
criminal that the schemer. American federal
agents and law enforcements use the
same method to catch criminal as well. So,
it is not a new method act.

bigl: @OP:

A. Change d name to sometin more appealing like africaland or afrogist, etc (op, u go pay me o!)

B. Focus on issues people would love to discuss about and face that. That's a sure way to get the right traffic

lambvard: A belly full of food will buy other things. I will want you to explain better on that semo like product and let see what can come out of it

what do you want to know about it?

meforyou1: Op, I have been to edo extensively and I am from Imo state. And I tell u that comparing okorocha with comrade Adams is like comparing a little cat with a large lion.

meaning who is the lion?

interesting, I think I have said it before... The americans will concur russia and china put together.. The us president currently is only avoiding war because war is not good for global economy. Not because they are scared or afraid. Any world war at the moment will only take the whole world 140 years backward. Imagine the damage it will cause because man has acquired warpoens that can send a whole country and its resources to instinctsion... Also china is not ready for war and that why currently the americans want a hold of the most populous black nation nigeria to it side and economy to bring down china and also to help it base for military stations.

OXYGEN01: your punch lines are weak.Your brothers selling dogs chains in Ghana can even do better.Mumugerians are being bleeped by dogs here.Your sister might be included. Or Shd I say ur mother rather.

100 naira = 10,000 cedis. jesus. High inflation rate killing ghana since 1950. They run to nigeria in the 80s And 90s. I know you father is among those shoe maker who use to polish me shoe sunday in sunday out.
