This is totally funny and ridicules, I guess those guys are just trying to make themselves known to the world by suing OLPC. After all, it will be a sad case for humanity if OLPC looses this crazy case.
No wonder they are the most corrupted country in the world.

Compassion goes only so far. Ignore Nigeria and let them solve their own problems, with their own money.

Do we really need to give future Nigerian Scammers more computers anyway?

Sorry... I know - insensitive and all, but if the Nigerian Government wants help from OLPC, then they need to squash this, not encourage it. There are plenty of countries in the world that would benefit from the work OLPC is doing, they won't feel the loss of Nigeria, but Nigeria will.
