Excellent!
This is what will form the foundation of Nation Building.
Our current leaders are so Scared of this because it gives little room for statistical errors. I mean why will the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill be thrown away by the House of representatives.Majority of them simply live on Falsehood!
A National database will fasten Nigerias growth and development.
Can we start this on our own or propose it to the Government ?

I think there should be an awareness first (getting the media involved).
As for the technical knowledge, i can confirm that Nigeria has the required manpower (Skills) to carry this out.
I for one can get involved in the application development and data migration process. There are a lot of potential IT professionals both within and outside the shores of nigeria who are willing to undertake the huge task.
The other thing that we would be talking about would be finance and I believe that those who call themselves philanthropists or patriot would have the opportunity to prove whom they say they are. This project can also be sponsored with the excess crude money, gas (PTF), etc or through task dividends.

We do have some databases which are not very accessible but if they can be built on the go.. as need arises.. maybe as a side project! why not?

I'm actually doing this as my PG project,
i hope my prof accepts it.....I read a book
that talks about American rejecting the
idea of a National Database then and what they
eventually got is a "Database Nation", i.e different
database scattered everywhere.......

Though it has it's downsides, nevertheless i think a
National DB will curb alot of vices if applied and
implemented securely with the best techi and hands.

Focus on the FUTURE

Whilst I leave in a country where such databases are well established. I think we need to consider security as a foremost thing to consider before we get on with this project. It will increase security in terms of short time effect, I guess but what about long term. Will someone pull up unauthorized data legitimately and use it is against individuals and society at large? Will it be securely managed considering the nuisance of Nigerians at mesmerizing or sabotaging good projects. This kind of questions need to be addressed and then look at the present security which is informal but is enjoyed in Nigeria by the absence of these databases. Nobody can tell your networth by the click in Nigeria good for our level of development I think. It helps undergrowth to get established. Since the stable sides of the system is largely still the undergrowth economies.

main this idea will never get you into the house of rep or any office as long as am concern you never get employed into any government office cos there will minimized there total income per day probabily by month cos the whole world wil come to know the value and figure of all the transactions dont in this country there by making impossible possible and not turning possible into postponable and then you will fine out that only few among the gov. officials will remain there seat cos majority will resign cods there is no more egun inje from the boiz at the end of evry thing and i guess the first to resign will be the sports minister followed by the senate members and lastly the EFCC cutlass guy cos there will be room for investigation due to less in arrest of those who are involved in money wizardry like hmmmmmmmmmmm

make i close my mouth OK it will work if they will all agree cos if they do so

na him be say the bush meat go catch the hunter now
aleast the former ex ex ex president dem cos run commot finishe dfor niaja cos there no more income coming to there private account

no talk say na me talk oooooooooo a beg i still dey young

@thread

What happened to the National ID card project?

Hello, is the originator of this post is seriously thinking of this, I dont mind if we meet physically and work on it together. I just rememebred how I went to the local clinic and said I wanted to see a doctor and by just showing my personal identification number a common nurse was able to pull on my address and details from the net! It will surpise one the extent to which these databases can be exploited. To really employ this technology, we need to know what we are commiting the entire personhood of Nigeria, Nigerians and her immigrants to. Do we believe we can safely handle it or will it be easier to wipe away the existence of a who person or change the full identity of a free individual by this technology? Will it not be a tool for terrorists i.e social, political or economic terrorists? It is accepted in the Western countries to have this databases to a great extent. In fact if I want to buy a common cellphone, the cashier can pull on my details and tell if I am owing money in possibly the other half of the earth. Is this a safety or is it not excessive vulnerability to incessant, avoidable attack to security and safety? Is it not just one of the hyped technological inventions that have a vast negative effect on society.
Imagine if the corrupt police office boy who you dont bribe enough for his greed decides he wants to destroy you by attacking your detail. Or cant you see what those greedy boys in NEPA or PHCN do to details of peoples meters? One day you have credit in excess of three months and the next you owe the amount that you can not afford to pay up in ten years.
National database my foot in that kind of system! You better open your eyes before you walk yourself(us=Nigerians) into prison(in the name of databasing)!!!

i wouldn't say so. we just have a selfish look towards ourself. Guy with all the backwardness if a niaja dude is left 1day with any new tech come back later to find out what he can do.Though most times it isn't really a positive result.always negative. I use to visit this cafe in my local area. and i found out earlier that i could resuse a ticket. but later the company corrected this error. but recently i realize guys could actually be sharing the same ticket and browsing concurrently. and yet this guy barely knows anything about networking.

...yea i am feeling you guys.
we just need a top down approach. I dont think its a naija thing that people likes to still tickets or even still! Its only that its a naija thing that there is no significant consequence for all this offenses.
Why would an American not want to save some dollars by not paying is phone or internet bills? But he/she knows the consequence, so he wont even try it!
So until Nigeria has a Law that works! and a Law enforcement that works!
Everything i think is still in topsyturvy.
We obviously cannot start a national database from bottom up, it has to be top down. If the leadership decide to make it work, YES it would work!
