I think I, like most other people out there, was carried away by this whole "good-deed" image of OLPC. Now, don't get me wrong, I think OLPC is great in many ways. But can someone please tell me why we even thought of shipping them to... ahem, Nigeria? Thousands, if not millions, were scammed by them, and what do we do? "Oh, let's send them cheaper equipment, so they can learn how to f*** us as early as possible and as cheaply as possible."
I say - tell the whole Nigerian government to go screw themselves and ship this product to someone who really deserves it.
OLPC should offer to pay LANCOR -- as long as LANCOR fronts the small but reasonable bank wire xfer fees, inspection fees, paperwork fees, foreign payment fees, export tax fees, special assessment fees, paper recycling fees, custom official bribes, etc.

Charity hmm wow they must be making a pile of profite there eh, ID10T.
