You're so wrong. Nigerian kids do not grow up with AK-47 pets. That's Liberia. You've just proved your lack of knowledge about Africa and the World in regards to geopgraphy general. I don't think Brazil or Argentina have child soldiers either: in fact, they are not in a civil war. So, please, if you are going to mention something like that, first check it to make sure it makes sense. I am Nigerian, btw. I really like Nigeria ordering the laptops. I do hope the kids learn the proper way to use internet and that they do not use it for spamming. Unlike the US (which I now live) where you can enforce strong laws, the Nigerian government, despite its best efforts, finds it hard to enforce its laws. Also, there are more pressing issues for the government like fighting/reducing corruption and paying the humongous debt.
