Yes, it is true, an Financially strapped African nation is starting its own space program. Failure might be chronic in such a idea.

All the best to them. One learns from mistakes, so chronic failure might help.

I wonder what that 100 million could have done for the well-being of the country...

That was a racist slur, and I never meant it. I have nothing against the Nigerians going into space, it might help their economy which needs revival. $100 million dollars is somewhat inadequate though.
