You don't know what you're talking about. What were you doing in Africa for 30 years...drinking on beaches in Cape Town??

Here is why it is COMPLETELY stupid to put wifi blimps in Africa. LOL

According to you, it shouldn't matter where I was in Africa since the whole continent is "failed". If you now think that the blimps should be over the beaches (and shanty-towns...) of Cape Town, but not the red dots in the conflict zones, then you've changed your mind about that.

The nearest red dot looks like it's over 2000 km from Cape Town. Nothing within 1000s of km of all of Nigeria. There are huge markets there. etc. etc.
