FEDERAL Government yesterday set in motion plans to launch the first
made-in-Nigeria satellite by 2018. Ahead of this plan, the country
also
expects to produce its first astronauts nine years from now.

I confess I kept reading for the punchline, and was disappointed when it
never arrived.


The punchline is, it will be an e-mail relay satellite.

Oh, actually I heard taht this was how they were shipping my 10% of millions
I helped to transfer out fo the country for the late Osbago deLarma who
unfortunately was killed in a car crash.
