On a second thought, this looks like an extreme case of RAG DAY gone over the cliff! PS for Non-Nigerians: Rag Day is observed at most Nigerian Uni's to raise funds for charities, while dressed up in bizarre outfits. |

How does President GEJ hope to fight the menace of youth unemployment in Nigeria (one of the root causes of kidnapping) when he won't even patronize Nigeria-based academics, professionals and unemployed grads?! According to NL's resident experts in this field, Ajanlekoko and Oyb, it appears that there's no big deal about this GPS tracking idea. I think that is the issue some of us have with this approach, not that one habors bad-belle towards Dipo, the Finnish student. |

Nigeria Police can pick up a well-dressed, well-groomed, law-abiding citizen; give him several slaps, kick him, roll the guy for ground, and lo and behold, the man will resemble a hardened criminal immediately! Next morning, they will parade him before NTA crew as a kidnapping linchpin!!! |

Jonathan LOVES Facebook big time! Kidnapping is only a symptom (yes, a horrible one) - JEG should get off the Internet and tackle more fundamental problems of corruption, power, poverty, unemployment, etc. By all means treat eczema, but devote more resources to battle leprosy that is eating you up alive?! |

The student’s interface with the president commenced when he responded to Jonathan’s expression of his administration’s wish to deploy technology to combat the menace of kidnapping following the release of four kidnapped Nigerian journalists, Mr. Wahab Oba, Chairman of the Lagos chapter of Nigeria Union Of Journalists, Adolphus Okonkwo, the union’s secretary, Sylvester Okereke , Sola Oyeyipo and their driver a fortnight ago. The president had stated on his status: “I am pleased with and welcome the release of the four journalists who were kidnapped in Abia State . I join millions of Nigerians to felicitate with their families. Kidnapping, armed robbery and other sundry crimes are a result of the erosion of our traditional values in addition to economic difficulties.” Jonathan said Nigerians have no choice but to revive their value system and rebuild the economy adding that he has directed the speedy intensification the deployment of technology based infrastructure that will help unmask these individuals and their sponsors. Daramola, then responded to this posting by revealing that he and other Nigerian colleagues at Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland are currently involved in a project called The GPS gate, GPS trace, Google Maps on a mobile device to trace the location of the mobile device. (GSM Tracker). “I think this project will help a lot in building the Nigeria Technology system section towards the VISION 2020.” Daramola stated thereby eliciting an assurance from the president that someone from his office will soon reach out to him. “ I am proud of the work he is using his intellect to achieve. Dipo, Someone from my office will be in contact with you to explore the possibilities of deploying this technology for use by our security agencies.” Jonathan wrote. When THISDAY contacted him, an elated Daramola said that he has just finished talking to his research manager explaining further that the GPS gate, GPS trace, Google Maps on a mobile device are meant to trace the location of the mobile device. He revealed that the other Nigerians on his team are, Adewale Adeyemo, Robert E Guinness and Oladeji Ikuesan all level two students of the same University. He said their project managers are from United States and Finland adding that the project will examine Saterisk; the risks associated with satellite positioning technical, legal and use of connection viewpoints. “The Saterisk project's goal is to produce a comprehensive inventory of satellite positioning, the risks of present and future. Another key objective of the project is to create a new hardware, services and training innovations.” he said. SOURCE: http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=179165 |

You will likely blow your money if you go with this so-called CABA. It's "chartered" by what Act of Parliament or US law? With 'approved schools' only in Pakistan, Jamaica, India, Dubai, and Singapore, I wonder what their jurisdiction is! Besides, CABA is NOT a recognized designation in North America. Proceed with great caution. |

@CyberG With over 54 posts a day, Ileke-Idi is definitely a NL 'old wine in new wineskin' - Newbies don't post with such ferocity! @Topic Very commendable, but IBM does not stand for International Boyscouts of Mugus! They are probably charging Cross River State Government outrageous amounts for a managed services contract, IBM's bread and butter. At least, they feel obliged to give something back to the community! |

Saving a life is stretching things - According to research, "lying is a way of life" for North Americans, as they "lie several times a day, or in one out of every four conversations that lasts more than 10 minutes." Olopa o! http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2009/truthaboutliars/facts.html However, the huge difference is Nigerians lie about lying! |
