There seems to a difference of opinion between a visitor entry and its corresponding magnify user. The visitors details show the flag and say the visitor is in Ireland:

7 Jan 19:01:55 MSIE 5.0 Windows NT 640x480 Ireland 81.23.192.231
Aquamoonlight Astrology

but when using the magnify user for this same entry it tells me they are in Nigeria:

Host Name 81.23.192.231
IP Address 81.23.192.231
Country Nigeria
Region Edo
City Benin City
ISP Web-sat Isp Services - Services

So I checked the IP address on the VisualRoute Server and it is Ireland

What happened there?

As said so many times before the geolocation never will nor never can be 100% always accurate. It is however very accurate and right most of the time.

AOL is understandable though, but this is an ISP I've never heard of. Perhaps I should look into that one more in case it is another one working on the same sort of thing. Sorry to have bothered you.
