Apparently we were wrong when we predicated that the One Laptop Per Child laptops would end up on eBay. In fact, it seems that the recipients are unlikely to want to give them up any time soon.
The News Agency of Nigeria is reporting that Nigerian school children who are among some of the first recipients of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) laptops have used them to further their education, as intended – but perhaps not in a way that was intended. They are using them to surf porn sites.
“Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials,” reported the News Agency of Nigeria.
The OLPC initiative has said that from now on the laptops will be fitted with appropriate filters.
Maybe then they will end up on eBay.

What a load of nonsense? Don’t you skewed brain, foul mouthed people ever have anything good to say or comment about Nigeria?
OLPC programme regarding Nigerian children surfing adult porn sites is a biggie to you now. But isn’t that a normal thing in the so called ‘civilized’ societies of the West?
Moreover, any possibility that adults were actually having access to these kiddies laptops being considered?
Please, go and look for medicine to cure your own sore ills.
Like cases of 419, these will not exist without the greedy individuals in the west. I do have business in England. I have received such poorly composed letters. It surely takes an idiot, I mean a proper idiot to fall for any enclosed cash demand. Won’t it be appropriate to suggest that diminishing returns have started to apply to brains and integrity of some individuals in the West?
