I was duped by this mofo today, I sent him #9,500 for 6 months cline and that's it. I went to bank to investigate the above account and was told readily it's a running account, meaning? people like me have been fallen cheaply for his trick. Just beware aND be warned.

I can't help but laugh here. Note 4 lags? Joke of the century. IPhone 6 pictures better than Note 4? I laugh in congo. Lesson! Don't say bad of anything you don't own or test.

Last Tuesday, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan launched the Nigerian National Identity card to great expectations. The National Identity Card project has been long in the making. The first proposal for the National ID project was mooted in 1976, but various interests, including cultural and religious concerns, pressured the administration into abandoning the idea.
Dr. Alex Ekwueme has himself revealed how he spearheaded the idea to create a National Population database which would provide consistent demographic information in Nigeria, but which was scuttled by pressures even within the administration in which he served. Clearly, there are those for whom accurate national population statistics serves very little interest. Indeed, for this group, it is not in their interest for Nigeria to have a clear population index and a national means of citizenship identification.
But a national identity card, which will capture Nigeria’s national population data is both desirable and welcome. The Jonathan administration may however have undermined the possible goodwill this project may enjoy by contracting Nigeria’s National Identity Card Project, to MasterCard, the Worldwide Financial Services Company, with its headquarters in Purchase, New York. The first reactions began to emerge soon after Nigerians saw the MasterCard logo besides their names on a National Identity Card, whose basic aim is to provide Nigerians with their sovereign status and legal identification.
There is a third platform: the National ID offers the ability to make financial transactions. As President Jonathan opined in the launch of the NIMC Identity Card, “The card is not only a means of certifying your identity, but also a personal database repository and payment card, all in your pocket.” It sounds all swell. But according to newspaper reports, Nigerians who witnessed the unveiling of the National Identity Card by President on Thursday were not taken by the talk.

They were rather taken aback, and there was widespread outrage in reaction to the embossing of the MasterCard logo on the National Identification Card to be issued to Nigerians. One report of the event in the media is so poignant that it merits a reproduction here on the Orbit, just to situate the context of its umbrage: “Nigerians” the Premium Times reported, “expressed shock and fury, Thursday, at how the Nigerian Government, through the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, would surrender a symbol of national sovereignty and pride to a foreign commercial organisation by not only sharing the biometrics of 170 million Nigerians to the firm but by also allowing the firm to boldly engrave its insignia on the IDs.
Many Nigerians raised the alarm over the implications of the agreement in an age that has seen intense data surveillance by the National Security Agency of the United States of America, MasterCard’s home country.” Critics of the project and of MasterCard’s involvement in it point very clearly to a national security breach. Nigerians are first, loath to cede their National population database to a foreign commercial concern, particularly in this era of global surveillance, and second as Shehu Sani, Human Rights advocate and Executive Director of the Civil Rights Congress said, “The new ID card with a MasterCard logo does not represent an identity of a Nigerian.
It simply represents a stamped ownership of a Nigerian by an American company… it is reminiscent of the logo pasted on the bodies of African salves transported across the Atlantic.” This is very serious, perhaps even exaggerated, but it ought to give us all pause.
The allusion to the middle passage – that deadly trade across the Atlantic – and its historical implications for Africans, the African economy, and the African humanity continues to ramify in the contemporary African’s attitude to issues of contemporary trans-Atlantic security as it affects their lives in Sub-Saharan Africa. Perhaps Nigerian critics of these forms of contact and its implication of the overwhelming dependency of African systems on external systems of control are too naïve to expect any different, given the reality of globalization and the dominance of the global system by powerful and more sovereign entities, yet we must note that such naiveté does not foreclose expectations. What the Jonathan administration had done, according to his critics, is to cede the capacity to protect Nigeria’s strategic national demographic data – the strategic access for which nations make war and peace – to a foreign multinational commercial entity.
MasterCard basically acquired a strategic portion of Nigeria’s national economic intelligence, on a platter of gold; without firing a shot, says a retired former Senior Economist in the Economic Intelligence Team of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He opined that some of the good things the present administration does, it does very shoddily.
The question most Nigerians now need to ask is whether the president sought and received parliamentary clearance to embark on this contract with MasterCard on a project as sensitive as the Nigerian National Population Database, for indeed, that is what this is all about; and capturing that data, presents a clearly powerful leverage, and ought to be protected under a National Identity Protection legislation.
The federal government must as a matter of urgency review this contract with MasterCard. Nigeria’s population and National Identity must remain a sovereign concern. No other nation in the world gives access and authority to an external system that could mine its strategic national population data. This contract leaves Nigerians vulnerable. This is the concern of Nigerians. Secondly, it is crucial in this moment to review the Act of the National. Assembly that established the NIMC. Part of the great tragedy of Nigeria is in the often needless duplication of functions by the creation of its extra-ministerial commissions and Agencies to do the basic work already established in the Public Service system.
What the NIMC does now is the work for which we have the
Federal Bureau of Statistics which ought to be properly
housed in the Ministry of Labour and Establishment, liaising with Health, Home Affairs, Education, and the Attorney-General’s office as the data-gathering nodes of therepublic. That the Federal Bureau of Statistics has been
unable to do its work has much to do with the Nigerian
government’s deliberate destruction of the public system;
its failure to recruit, train, re-orient, and reposition its public
service with a new generation of highly trained civil
servants to do the work of the 21st century with 21st
century skills under 21st century conditions. It is this failure that is at the heart of Nigeria’s development crisis and it inability to deliver value.
It is this which makes it impossible for even the president of Nigeria not to see the folly of ceding Nigeria’s strategic
national data to a foreign profit-driven commercial entity in
spite of its national security implications. As the Igbo say,
“o di kwa egwu!”

Got my delivery in Akure today, really excited and at the moment am charging it. Will give u guys review later on. Thanks Octavo more grease ......

incrediblestev: Am waiting for him to come up with his overused lines of the SW being the most developed part of the South...lol.. a lie that over time has become redundant and trite, Lagos is the only part of the SW that an average Yoruba tribalist can use to show that the SW is developed, whatever happened to Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo and Ogun states, are they not part of the SW ni?

The major underlying reason why they are largely anti- GEJ has little to do with principles, it has more to do with wanting to be courted by every other major tribes and region but the Igbo man understanding the underlying power play and political self-rifgteousness by the Yoruba politicians is the greatest threat to them achieving such status of greed. left to them, they will continue to cause further divisions in the east with their propaganda and outright lies and twisted facts.

GEJ with the help of the eastern region and the igbo especially, burst their bubbles and demystify them, all the exaggerated analysis of the SW deciding electoral outcome were proved to be flat out lies and propaganda, GEJ did not have to get the full support of the Yoruba man, he did not even get it anyway but went on to win...lol...it still annoys them till this day.

mr hmmm, re u sure about what you re saying cos i remember he only lost in osun state.

mikeansy: the kind of nonesense they come up with

Keshi won the Nation's cup without their input

wetin dis ur dot mean? na waoh

if the news coming from this quarter is anything to go by then the President has done something worthy of commendation and applause. This year makes it seventh year that we went for Geology of Nigeria then in the University, studying and mapping of Ajaokuta steel company was the norms for every Graduating Geology student back then. But to be honest, Obj was the principal reason why the Company failed and degenerate to that level, every equipment with the inclusion of crushers, and even raw material were carted by the Chinese firm that it was allocated to, the whole complex wasnt functional, the only workers we saw then was just the gatemen and couple of Geologist/Consultants that took us through the length and breadth of the area, they were so shocked at the way Obj and his cohorts including the firm, mismanaged, sold off and carted away the goodies of this respected Company, Eventhough am not a big fan of him(Jonathan) but this time he has done well, and i think he deserves the commendation.

hotwax: Fergie is worse than Mohrinho. Its only old age that is caging Fergie.
Big coaches are always aggressive.

We all know how English referees are afraid of Fergie.

u might be aggressive but there is a limit to everything, his always in the news for wrong reasons, besides aggression differs from engaging other coaches in fights,thats too pathetic

sheymoni: Whoever finishes 1st in the Premiership nets between £30 - £40 million. This is based on £10 million prize money, £10 million for just being in the league, £300,000 for every TV game, overseas sponsorship and TV deals equate to about £4-£5 m...

comparing Europa league of 5,000,000 total prize with the Epl is the joke of the Year

bro this one self is even old, ask them to check the latest above

daylae: bullocks! Man u wanted someone who would't mind reporting to fergie,while he continually be his protege. Jose does not belong to such class!

jose is just a lousy, stubborn, trouble making and controversial coach, yes successful but not good for the image of Manchester United, we live and thrives on our brand, we dont need a coach that lack good reputation, coach that poke other coaches nose and so on. he should go to chelsea and exhibit its toutish talent.

even with relegating team in the premierleague, the tv right is five times higher than the price money and tv right of europa winner like chelse. check out this link: http://www.financialexpress.com/news/manchester-united-top-table-for-premier-league-tv-earnings/1118680

daylae: Then are you saying clubs like barcelona,madrid,juve e.t.c had done well in european competitions than chelsea did? Because chelsea only won the "loser's throphy" while the aforementioned were close to winning the CL? Do you realise chelsea 'll deservely play whoever clinge the CL later? Clubs like man u,barca,and madrid would have love to do that even as europa champion.

God forbid Man U playing in Europa

Afam4eva: A Nigerian senator earns more than Barack Obama. Are they more than the American president? Put your thinking cap on. The prize money has nothing to do with it.

so d logistics put in place by the clubs do not need to be refunded by UEFA, oh i forgot the competition is free for the teams participating, lolz. we need to see chelsea doing parade with their prestigious europa cup. hahahhah

Afam4eva: Why do we just like arguing over nothing. No local even is more important or prestigious than an international event. The premiership is a competition for clubs in England while Europa is for clubs in Europe, so common sense should suggest that the one that involves European clubs is more important. Even if there's a third-tier European competition it would still be more important than the premiership. A vice president is more important than a governor. A deputy governor is more important than a local government chairman etc etc.

Now i know u dont know anytin Mr! Havent you be hearing Prestigious English Premier league, hmmm, some people here funny,u dont believe that u cant know everything in life, u might be good and analytical in some other thread, but the litle u just spew here is a prove that u dont know anything abt soccer, maybe u need to read more about the two competitions. GOOGLE is your friend

chidindufrank: So pathetic. Most of the posters here don't know anything about football. The team that drops out of UCL round of 16 makes more money than the team that wins Europa cup. Domestic league is 100% better than Europa cup. 38 matches for a team over a long period of time and a play quench competition would never be the same bro. Why do you think some teams withdraw from Caf champions league each year? Chelsea will pay 100million bucks just to make round of 16 each year than to win europa cup. Man united had a better season bros. If Chelsea's season was awesome then they should organise an open bus parade to celebrate that trophy let's see. Even chelsea owner avoided the final because he has no goose pimple from the competition

tell them joor

gabito2: A̶̲̥̅я̩̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ Ʊ guys mad? H☺ώ can you compare europa cup to a domestic cup, d money no be d same sef, domestic Ȋ̝̊̅§ domestic, international Ȋ̝̊̅§ international, when man Ʊ wey disgraced last seasoopin to europa, they were further disgraced by basel home and away, just imagine, and chelsea finished basel, stop all d stupid mentality and say d truth, chelsea achieved more dis season

learn to use google b4 u come out spewing rubbish and typing fake info for people in a public forum like this. GOOGLE IS UR FRIEND

delors: I think Chelsea did! They had a more interesting and adventurous season than man United. Check the stats, last year to this year, the most searched club on google was Chelsea! The club with the fastest growing fan club base (registered fans i mean) is chelsea! I can tell you that even non-chelsea fans know the name of every chelsea player, but how many kids around can tell you all the eleven regulars in Man United? And finally, regardless of what Man United fans think about Europa league, they would have been happier to be in that league after dropping out of the UCL but because they always find a way to discredit Chelsea's adventures, they say Europa league is less prestiguos to the EPL, but tell them to check the worth of each trophy in terms of revenue and popularity.
My verdict: ChELSEA had a more interesting season than MAN UNITED...even ROONEY and RONALDO are considering switching to the club! That should tell people something.

what re you saying whats the revenue in europa, do u even know that chelsea lost to arsenal and tottemham in tv right price money, just because they played in europa. maybe u need to google europa and see for urself how much is the revenue, if u care to know, the price money money for europa is less than 9 million pounds

hahhaahh,in this kind of age. na wa oo
