Most Expensive Facebook Page/ National Sports Commission Nigeria

As you can see the page is (not) different from any other Facebook page but cost the Nigeria Government N1.2million ($8,000) to create. The page was just $8,000 more expensive than the cost of creating a typical Facebook page.
The wall is painted white which is (not) unique, as well as other features. Rumour says Zukerberg created it personally.
It seems nobody knew it existed prior to the cost of the site got into the news. The site had less that 4000 people "liking" the page and now, over 1000 people "liked" the page in 30 minutes (and growing). Maybe that was the plan.
However, you could access important information, like there is a link to the commission's website for more info(which doesn't open). Maybe it was to save cost. If N1.2 was to create a Facebook page, I wonder how much a website would cost.

Actually, this isn't the most expensive Facebook page. The honour goes to Malaysia. 
The Malaysian Tourism Ministry spent a staggering amount of close to RM1.8 million to create its official “Cuti-Cuti 1Malaysia” Facebook page. That's about $588,712.42. At least it had more pictures than the National Sports Commission Nigeria page

    4. That's my point, I have no doubt you'll use the money for your own good.

    6. Charitable...all because to give it to...doesn't make you charitable. Charity is something you give out as compensation to satisfy your conscience for having more than another.
