Nigerian government officials are known for requiring bribes from any business that wants to business in Nigeria - You have to pay a bribe just to be considered. The biggest bribe gets the contract.
Its all over the Internet NEWS too

I go to school with some very nice,honorable Nigerian students and when I showed this to them, they said that this is a VERY OLD SCHEME in Nigeria, that the theives would continue to scam you until you had NO MONEY LEFT!
Nigerians advertise on eBay, craigslist and wherever there is a place with online outlets to sell or to buy merchandise, you will find a NIGERIAN SCAM ARTIST.
My friends tell me that Nigeria is a very poor country with many people and not much formal educational opportunity. So if people are going to survive, they are going to have to have a lot of streetsmarts.
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE DEALT WITH THE PEOPLE ONCE YOU LEARNED THAT THEY WERE FROM NIGERIA.
My friends say that you need to deal with NIGERIANS IN PERSON and to make SURE that you will be paid or if you are going to buy the merchandise from them TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ACTUALY PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THE MERCHANDISE AND YOU GET A RECEIPT FROM THE NIGERIAN MERCHANT YOU BUY IT FROM.
Go to youtube and type in "I Go Chop Your Dollar" in the search engine and you will see the elaborate schemes that the Nigerian scammers will do to STEAL YOUR MONEY.
Do ALL Nigerians steal? Of course not but most on the Internet DO!
THEY STEAL A LOT!
The Nigerian students I know tell me to warn people about this.
They claim that Nigeria INVENTED THE INTERNET RIP-OFF (The scam letter writing and financial fraud.)
And a lot of Nigerians are now here in the United States and using regular e-mail addresses for their scams.
I am sorry for you. The Nigerian students told me to tell you that they are sorry too.
There are plenty of other scams that will steal from you too..
