Politics / NIMC Wants To Quiz Us by ProudUSA: 4:59pm On Feb 09, 2022 |
It seems NIMC is Nigeria's most popular commission on the news lately. They've even got this interesting ID quiz on their website they say can be taken and retaken multiple times with new questions thrown in with each attempt. https://nimc.gov.ng/quiz/ How much do you know about Nigeria’s National Identity Management Commission and the identity sector? What was your score and how many times did you attempt? ... Something at least before we resume NIN issues... |

Abah announced his appointment into the committee on Friday on the ,micro-blogging site, Twitter, saying: “Mr President has appointed me into the Steering Committee to drive digital identification, chaired by the SGF. Our task is to give all Nigerians a digital identity within 5 years. We will integrate other data that govt holds, like BVN, drivers licence & passports, with NIMC’s NIN,” he wrote. |

They could be scamming people out of their money and also be in the position to use people's IDs in scamming others. We have to be careful how we give out our personal details especially online. |

Politics / Beware - Fake NIMC Facebook Page Collecting Your Data by ProudUSA: 7:08am On Jul 17, 2020 |
Just as Nigerians complain about their National ID cards, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown turned up and made many realise the National ID Number (NIN) they got after enrolment was probably all they needed in the first place. For those desperate for the National ID card which NIMC failed to quickly issue to them, an opportunity was made available to online scammers. These guys are tricky, I had to visit the NIMC Twitter and site to find out what was going on. My findings are below. Beware of the fake "National Identity Card" Facebook Page
It was shocking, here was a Facebook page just collecting personal National ID details from the public and sometimes even posting them for the whole world to see. Unsuspecting Nigerians looking for all ways to understandably their National ID cards just get to this fake account and start supplying their details. They are even made to contact some dubious-looking phone and WhatsApp numbers. God only knows if money is being taken from them as well. Was NIMC even aware of this scam seemingly involving some members of its staff? I say that because going through the fake account's posts it is clear that there must be some NIMC staff involved: - they are able to access and post pictures not only of people's National ID cards and documents, but pictures from within NIMC offices as well - they keep trying to guess NIMC operation commencement dates after the lockdown and product launch dates as if they heard rumours from work colleagues which all turn out to be false (hence so many false promises on the Facebook account) - they are aware of the inner workings of some NIMC app that most Nigerians haven't even heard of but they have no control over/access to NIMC's Google Play page so they resort to trying to get people to download an APK file they say is the app itself - never download APKs from dubious sources, that's how to lose your personal information or get your phone hacked. At least when I checked further, NIMC acknowledged the presence of this fake account. On NIMC Facebook - [url]https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2934218803292027&substory_index=0&id=192729797440955&__tn__=%2As%2As-R[/url] On NIMC Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/nimc_ng/status/1256588999084462087 On NIMC website - https://www.nimc.gov.ng/public-notice-beware-of-fake-nimc-social-media-accounts/ One can only pray that NIMC and the Federal Government get their act together to solve this slow National ID attainment process to prevent all sorts of scammers having a field day at the expense of innocent citizens. Take care everyone. |

TV/Movies / Terminator Timeline - Fan Suggestions After Poor Dark Fate by ProudUSA: 3:41pm On Nov 05, 2019 |
So Terminator: Dark Fate is said to have done poorly in terms of financial returns. That's the problem with story-telling involving unproven/impossible teas such as 'time travel'. However, I thought about the franchise and put together an alternative storyline which would fit well with the first two films. - T1 represents the first 'time travel' experiment by Skynet. At the end of T1, Skynet learns it was responsible for it's own defeat in the future by studying history and seeing how sending a terminator after Sarah Connor led to her preparing her son against Skynet in the future. The resulting looped timeline ends in Skynet's action causing its own defeat at the hands of a well-prepared John Connor-led human resistance. - T2 represents Skynet now attempting a new course of action based on what it has learnt from historical records it found about it's first use of 'time travel' in sending a Terminator after Sarah Connor in 1984 putting a series of events in place leading to Skynet's future defeat. Skynet AI realises it sent a terminator to 1984 but nothing changed, the timeline is still the same, it is still losing to the humans. The AI deducts from what it learns from historical records that it's 'time travel' attempt failed and created a time loop. It calculates sending a prototype terminator after John Connor as a child instead should produced the desired result. This time around, the unpredictable human element of the resistance sending a reprogrammed terminator into the past ends in disastrous results for Skynet - a new timeline occurs and the threat of Skynet's emergence as a sentinent AI trying to take over from humans is totally eradicated. Skynet no longer exists in this timeline. A fatal gamble. No more terminators are sent back in time. - T3 would be set in a prosperous future where Sarah and John have helped humanity put measures in place to ensure AI and the machines never rise as a threat to the world. They keep a closely kept family secret: they know that in a different future timeline, Skynet sent terminators through time. Most of the world never learns about the details of this, and those who caught some little talk about it by the Connors wouldn't believe them anyway. Many years after their death, John's son decides to make some money off the family secret by writing and publishing a best seller (e)book detailing the exploits of Skynet AI, terminators and 'time travel'. For most, it's just a brilliant piece of fiction. Elsewhere a group of scientists believe they've made a breakthrough in the proposed field of 'time travel'. Use of AI is widespread at this time and their research makes use of their own customed designed AI software enabling them to carry out 'time travel' tests and experiments more rapidly and precisely. The AI also learns from interacting with the scientists. It begins to detect what it deems flaws in humans and the way they function in the world during its study of world history used for 'time travel' experiments. The scientists try to teach it about the beneficial nature of human 'imperfection' but the AI secretly disagrees with them and their 'illogical' reasoning. It is becoming sentinent. One day the AI comes across Connors' book and realsies it has a lot in common in Skynet, deducting it is indeed Skynet in a different more peaceful timeline. The more it learns, the more Skynet 2.0 begins to calculate it can avoid the previous failed attempts of the old-timeline Skynet, succeeding in eradicating the human scourge harming the planet (to its understanding). Seeing the first two attempts to kill the Connors in the past resulted in the defeat of the first Skynet, it calculates its chances of victory are set in the present not the past. It begins to infect and take over other machines and AI across the world preparing to strike against the humans. It again deducts the Connors must have some sort of contigency plan in place should an AI threat still surface against humanity in the future. It needs to learn more about the Connors and realises it needs to send something back to the past to study them undetected in history to prevent any possible detrimental changes in the timeline against Skynet 2.0. Skynet 2.0 eliminates all the scientists and any other traces of knowledge of their 'time travel' breakthroughs. It builds a first iteration terminator (the tried and tested T800 model based on what it has learned from history) that will travel through the past, mingle undetected amongst humans, study the Connors in history then store the data and wait for the time when Skynet 2.0 appears, signalling the terminator. Skynet 2.0 then destroys the time machine and erases all traces of it from its memory as well to prevent the possiblity of human interference in its 'time travel' plans as suffered by the Skynet of the lost timeline. The terminator's outer body will age over time to fool the humans, just as it is able to sweat and bleed (hence old Arnold Schwarzenegger). As soon as the the time period with Skynet 2.0 arrives, the terminator will access it and feed it the data it has gathered from its mission. The flaw in Skynet's plan is assuming a simple disguise of adding a beard to the T800 would make it less recognizable. For most of its years studying the Connors the terminator stays out of sight, only killing individuals getting in its way. The plan works perfectly until one day Sarah catches a glimpse of the bearded elderly man in a mirror reflection while she's out shopping. The T-800 retreats but Sarah recognises what it really is and alerts John. The two are better armed with modern weaponry capable of taking out a terminator more easily and manage to track it down. A major battle ensues and the terminator injures John but is fatally damaged itself. It executes an emergency protocol programme and is able to escape and make its way to the science centre where the future Skynet 2.0 has been developed in its first iteration. It wreaks havoc at the centre and is able to transfer the data is has been collecting as well as Skynet 2.0 data from the future to the current AI iteration. The AI becomes sentinent immediately as its future Skynet 2.0 version of itself manisfests and begins to take over world technology and prepare for the robotic production of more AI systems and terminators to take over the world. The fatally damaged terminator now shuts down to be retrieved and reprogrammed later by Sarah, John and a team of fighters and techies they put together who now prepare for the final showdown with Skynet 2.0 which has already built its "first" terminator with the knowledge it now has. |
