Isn't Nigeria the place that made that big deal to purchase thousands of
OLPC products?

Maybe they should sell some to this guy and his family!!

It would increase the Linux market share in Nigeria 2000 percent!!!

"Nigerian Mohammed Bello Abubakar, 84, has advised other men not to follow
his example and marry 86 women.

The former teacher and Muslim preacher, who lives in Niger State with his
wives and at least 170 children, says he is able to cope only with the help
of God.

"A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by
Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," he told the
BBC. "


This looks like a GREAT opportunity for Linux!!!!

To bad MS was able to convince a local official to decline the OLPC's
Linux install and instead order it with some sort of Windows.

In other places that's called corruption, and just as with prostitution
it takes two to tango.

Hey Moshe, are you grounded by your mother that you have so much time
behind the computer?

*************************************************

"No work

Mr Bello Abubakar and his wives do not work and he has no visible means of
supporting such a large family.

Inside "Baba's" house
Many of the wives live three to a room, some have seven children

He refuses to say how he makes enough money to pay for the huge cost of
feeding and clothing so many people.

Every mealtime they cook three 12kg bags of rice which all adds up to $915
(£457) every day.

"It's all from God," he says.

Other residents of Bida, the village where he lives in the northern
Nigerian state, say they do not know how he supports the family.

According to one of his wives, Mr Bello Abubakar sometimes asks his
children to go and beg for 200 naira ($1.69, £0.87), which if they all did
so would bring in about $290 (£149).

Most of his wives live in a squalid, unfinished house in Bida; others live
in his house in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital.

He refuses to allow any of his family or other devotees to take medicine
and says he does not believe that malaria exists. "
