I would be very careful with these people. It may seem ridiculous to us but the Nigerians are very serious about getting your money. I saw documentary once about two Ministers (the religious kind) from South Carolina who sadly fell for a similiar Nigerian scam, actually travelled to Nigeria to meet with the scammers and were prompthly kidnapped for ransom. The CIA had to go and get them back. I say what do you expect from a country that is so corrupt that even the garbage collectors don't work and get paid anyway. I saw pictures of the capitol city where mountains (mountains two stories high and growing daily) of garbage co-existed with the skyscrapers throughout the city. At the time people were just throwing the trash out the window. You couldn't even see the sidewalks and the streets were slowly disappearing. And I thought New York looked bad during the garbage strike.
