Picture enjoying the holidays with your family and suddenly you receive five (5) SMSs on your phone “Merry Christmas Lola from Governor Sanwo Olu”, knowing fully well that the governor does not have your phone number. Or you may be busy at your desk and you get a call from someone claiming to be your banker, providing all your bank information with the hope to defraud you.

Speaking of banks, what happens to all the information we provide when we are asked to fill out forms for inquiries? Forms that are never given back to us. Such has been the experience and query of several Nigerians, whose data has one way or another been mishandled by those with the obligation to process it adequately.
