Isn't Nigeria one of the countries that Intel and Microsoft chose to push their Classmate OLPC-clone? Perhaps a little corporate espionage going on here? Wouldn't be the first time a front company was used for this sort of thing.

OLPC sued for patent infringement in Nigeria Posted Nov 28, 2007 16:37 UTC (Wed) by wookey (subscriber, #5501) [Link] Yes, there was an item on the world service last night about the OLPC on the one hand and the Classmate on the other, both of which are being trialled now in Nigeria. They contrasted the 'Charity' and 'Commercial' approaches, without mentioning the OS or free software once (that I noticed). An interesting piece nevertheless.
