Awesome!!!

This is very commendable. Now I see the main reason Bosun was brought on board.

This is the next level to unlock wealth and real positive creativity in our digital economy space and tackle the scourge of insecurity, terrorism, youth laziness, cyberbullying, criminal defamation and internet fraud right from the foundation.

Just dey play. Laughing you guys for believing anything. They are still high rate of joblessness in digital world countries. Poverty is man made and the world continue to produce such in our generation. There is an agenda going on if you must know. Why will Europe sanction Russia for the suffering of Europe. Boarders are been closed against each other, destructive policies created everywhere. This digital whatever na just nothing to you that you are happy about. It's something that will be used against you tomorrow. You guys need to open your eyes to see the unseen.

Would typically just read the article and move on but seeing this particular one and how wrong and redundant it sounds given Nigeria already has many national databases, I decided to read comments to get a sense of the general sentiment towards the topic and I was rather impressed with some of the comments like the below quoted, among others. Good to see fair a number of NLers exhibit critical thinking and constructive criticism, and not quite disappointed to read the inane remarks.

As per topic, national identification is a internal affair and getting foreign organizations involved is a stupid thing to do. There are also many registers already like the NIN, BVN and SIM registers that can be improved on and even possibly harmonized for a more robust database so this idea is even more ridiculous.

And then,
"the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, revealed that the government has secured access to approximately half a billion dollars in funding to initiate a local funding program."
..the above statement really says nothing - or what is "a local funding program" and how does it relate to the ID matter huh Because $500m is clearly an outrageous figure for a ID project alone.

Considering Nigeria's position as the world's largest black population, it is clear this is a plan for data collection, monitoring & control and other unspoken ulterior motives being disguised as some sort of assistance or loan to fit into a wider global strategy for similar purposes. Unfortunately the current national leadership is compromised and unable to defend the interests of its citizens.

Nigerians already have digital ID's, what is the NIN there for?

What is this obsession of the World Bank about digital ID for Nigerians?
Is Nigeria being used as a test case?
The report did not say where the half a billion dollars came from. Is this another World Bank loan?

If you think this is a welcome development you obviously don’t know the direction the world is headed and I pity you

it’s to control the people in order to push them further into the new world order agenda

You are unbelievably stupid.
Have you ever heard of the WEF and their attempt to impose a New World Order ? The World Bank is one of the tools for achieving this. They want to tag you like cattle, control you, and finally eliminate you.

From the comments so far, you’ll deduct that they’re more interested in the active populace. The working (able bodied) class.

I wish it could be so (if the move is for good anyway).

Nigerians cannot depend on their leadership for anything. We must take matters into our own hands if we are to survive. They tried using us as a test case for their CBDC project and failed, now they are at it again.

Please leave this NIMC alone and provide help in our healthcare and education system. This NIN offices that doesn’t have service from month to month. Especially their headquarters in Ikeja there is no time you go there and they will agree they have service always on shut down. Very unreliable and inefficient staff.

Ssn is part of why the united states tax and social welfare programs are efficient till today.
Criminals don’t just go scot free like they do in nigeria.
I support the dna of every child born to be taken at birth and registered into a national database for future references. It would reduce all manner of age related frauds and help track any criminal who leave their dna traces at the scene where the crime was perpetrated.
This is the smokescreen they want you to see and say. Nobody is against ID. We are saying must it be world bank?. Nigerian's can do this things. 100% of the countries or things the world bank helps out in always turns out to be a disaster. And there is always something hidden

We have done national identity card, voters cards, BVN, NIN and NIMC cards yet non is good enough to capture ones national identity in a country that is more than 50 yrs old.
Now they want what Nigerians will run around again in 2024....it won't be well with our clueless leaders!

Nigeria tried doing this twice without success because of too many unnecessary interests.

1. I remember our company with a UK partner who has done the same thing for over 50 nations submitted proposal for the ID project and they didn't even invite us for presentation. Why? (unnecessary interests just as I said earlier).

2. Afterwards NIMC was set up and incompetent people has been managing the agency, I was captured in 2015 till now I am yet to get my ID
and the same with many Nigerians.

3. Foreigners from Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Benin, Togo are now in possession of our IDs how? The system has been compromised.

So I am supporting world bank on this either through loan or grant to take over the project. We need to activate our economy for rapid growth and it can't be done with having a GENUINE database which we have not able to do on our own for over 20years.

If you are waiting for someone to print a plastic card for you then you will wait forever.

Download the nimc app and use your registered phone number to download your digital ID.

We don't need world Bank to implement digital ID. The NIN is enough to ties together all your other identities including bvn and driver license

I personally don’t believe in Nigerian made things.

Nigerians do things for their own selfish interests.

But letting the world bank do our job for us is a concern esp when it comes to securing our data.

Well, it’s not as if Nigeria will put in the work to engineer a formidable framework if given the chance anyway.
Greed and Nepotism will always render it useless and little wonder why our country is respected nowhere in the planet.
