Aparently towns go visiting Parliaments all willy nilly.

I would suggest that they pay more attention to their work, yes?
Thanks to @nairobinotes for the heads up.

Nigeria’s $340m satellite (NigComSat-1) launched in May 2007 meant to bridge the digital divide turns out to be nothing short of a spectacular FAIL. In Nov 2008, the satellite suddenly disappeared without a trace leading to rumors of sabotage and a massive scam. Nigerian officials claim it had lost power and had to be “parked, like you would park a car”. It is supposedly now under repair (in space?).
That money could have been put to better use repairing Nigeria’s ailing infrastructure and creating employment.
AFRIFAIL!

A (hi)story of bad signage:
“In an effort by the ministry of education to illustrate the concept of redundance to it’s students, the Ghanaian government had signs placed along the roadside. The funny thing is, there really aren’t very many bumps, just holes.”

A couple more.
