Nigeria's bustling commercial capital, Lagos, has a market where other people's computer trash is refurbished and resold. Used, recycled, donated, recovered, Chinese-made, shipped, flown, or stolen, parts or whole, it does not matter.
This market in Ikeja, Lagos, is called "computer village." Here people come to trade, sell, buy, anything computer-related: hard drives, monitors and accessories, even if they are not the latest models.
What is considered high-tech trash in the developed world is reassembled and repackaged to fit local needs and local prices.

Nigerians are very enterprising. They will make it one day as an industrial power if external forces do not assist idiotic elements within the country to destroy it in yet another laughable African civil war.
