I Have Never Used A Computer - Japan's Cybersecurity Minister by atorioke(m): 11:45pm On Nov 15, 2018 |
Japan’s Cybersecurity Minister says never used a computer Japan’s Cybersecurity Minister says never used a computer A Japanese Minister, Yoshitaka Sakurada in charge of the Government’s cybersecurity strategy has drawn controversy after admitting that he has never used a computer. Sakurada, 68, said this during a parliamentary session that he has never used a computer in his life, as he “has been doing business independently since 25 years old and has been giving instructions to staff and secretaries.’’ When asked by independent lawmaker Masato Imai about how a man who does not use computers could be responsible for cybersecurity measures, Sakurada said that cybersecurity is “a matter that should be dealt with by the government as a whole’’ and that he is confident that he is not at fault. Sakurada was appointed the minister in charge of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as cyber minister in October in a Cabinet reshuffled after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was re-elected head of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). The minister from the ruling LDP has been known for a long time for his ill-advised comments, most notably in 2016 when he claimed that “comfort women,’’ women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army before and during World War II, were “prostitutes by occupation.’’ He later retracted the remarks.

Is Buhari not a Certificateless person presiding over the affairs of 200 million people? Among them are Academicians, Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers, etc. Sakurada is not at fault shaa. Abe appointed him without due diligence 51 Likes 1 Share |

atorioke: Even though he later changed his statement, this could be a lesson on the power of delegation. (It could also explain how even untutored expatriates here effectively deliver massive construction projects through our smarter Nigerian engineers...) 12 Likes 1 Share |

lonelydora: As far as weknow...Buhari got his WAEC certificate. To state otherwise is to assume that the Nigerian Army was so corrupt in 1961 when it was still being run by a British officer that they were admitting people sans certificate for their officer courses. And how can a certificateless guy graduate easily from the NMTC (now the NDA,) and get all sorts of post graduation qualificationa. And anyway.....Atiku is an OND holder....which while better than WAEC is still 'inferior' to the same Academicians, Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers , etc. And the thing is, many of these Acada people don't want to run and get their hands dirty in politcs. Instead...na armchair critics them they do.(people like GEJ and Yaradua are an exception) And no, I don't support Buhari. Infact, I am tired of APC and PDP. I also don't like either of the economic polices they are proposing. And I don't like the tribalism rampant in both parties. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

On to the article We may laugh at the man, but consider these factors. 1.The man is 68 years old. When he was a young man, what would become today's PC was still in the experimental stage. A computer back in the 1970's was a big machine which covered a whole room.Only specialists used it. 2.For those of you Nigerians laughing at Buhari and the man, people their age spent all their working life not needing to use a PC. By the time they were in senior management posts in their fifites, there were lots of young people who were using PC's...whom they could delegate tasks to. 3.Japan is a country that looks modern, yet is still old fashioned in many ways. For example...how many people here have heard of a fax machine ? Last time I heard of someone using one was in 2001. Japan still uses them today. All because the old people who run things there are used to them, and don't want change. 4.We can laugh at our 'lifeless' leadership, but let's be honest....MOST nigerians have never ever used a PC or computer in their lifetimes. The number goes up when you consider Nigerians over 45 years of age. Yes they should modernize...but the fact is, they got along well without PC's ....and they can delegate tasks....so why should they change. 13 Likes |
