Relying on the Nigeria's Vanguad Newspaper, vnunet.com reports that Nigeria has officially ordered 1 million OLPC laptops. Not only ordered, mind you, but paid for too.
Hmm, I wonder how soon I'll start to get 419 emails from OLPC pleading for me to help transfer $140 million from a recently deceased Nigerian Education Minister's account?
