There has been a lot of hue and cry about a scam which should have originated from (Nigeria, the) country known to the people of Internet as the country of scammers but tough luck to Nigerians. Unfortunately this scam erupted out from place none other than our own beloved Kingdom. As we know that the scammer was promoted and introduced to the media by a Federal Minister (read seasoned scammer). For those who say that seeing is believing and demo was given in to a TV anchor, I have an analogy which is not something I can share/ write here due my conservative upbringing (but I hope you must have understood what I meant).
I find myself highly thankful to the scammer for proving that AQ Khan (Father of Islamic Bomb, according to some) has gone gaga. The way he vouched for the scammer and saying that it is possible and the scammer has nailed it, makes me think; is there any nuke in the kingdom or its all rumours. We might have to wait and see about the nuke thing but the watershit fiasco is expected to settle as time takes its toll. Either the scammer will be proved scammer or this issue will die down (i.e. we will forget scammer's deceitful claim). Probability of him succeeding is like one in a million. Meanwhile we need to consider making law, as proposed by Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy, regarding people who lie to masses on such a massive scale.
Speaking from the technical perspective, if there was juice in the idea of the scammer he could have taken the course followed by most in scientific community. Since the person in question is not an engineer even, so who could have expected him to know that there exists a norm in scientific community to publish ones finding in peer reviewed journals and conferences. After this whole fiasco, all I can pray and hope is that the scammer is proven fraud ASAP so that we can continue living our terror filled peaceful lives in loadshedding. AMEN!
