I would be very careful.
Don't fall for anything until you verify his identity. Please.

what do you mean by dont fall for anything , why would she have to verify his identity. just wondering

Not on this site...a lot of Nigerians are trying to make friends with women. One girl posted on her site that she got scammed by someone who claimed he was Nigerian. She then warned everyone.

I have also been friend requested by Nigerians in other sites....some say they live in the US, some say they live somewhere in Europe. But when I start questioning them about where they are currently living or currently doing for a living, they become defensive or my questions are left unanswered.

I vacationed in Lagos, the capital of Nigeria. I am kind of aware of their city cultural life.

What I am saying is it is definitely wonderful to have someone as a friend...just don't trust and don't give any financial or personal information...that is all.

I'm not saying all nigerian men are like this!..but my friend has recently had a baby with a nigerian man, and he treats her terribly. She married him after knowing him for only a few months, but after they married he totally changed. You never really know someone, esp when you only know them from online. Be careful

I used to have a friend online from Nigeria and then he kept asking for me to help him come to the Us and that he could do it himself but he wanted me to invite him and he wanted to me to sponsor his paperwork.. LOL I um ignored him on my messenger.... I felt that that was a BIG scam.. and still do to this day..Please Hun BE REALLY CAREFUL. And That is for anyone you meet online I ahd one show up at my door once and he did evwn know my nuber or address.. talk about being scared I locked the door and called the cops...

i have and they are sweet people their culture is amazing but at the same time b careful who u meet off line

You don't only have to look out for the Nigerian men, also the women. I'm not saying that all of the Nigerian people, men or women are scam artists but from my personal experience a lot are.

I have a male friend that has been chatting with a woman from Nigeria for over two years now. She was suppose to have been over here in the states over a year and a half ago but every time she gets ready to come something happens and she needs money. First she missed the plane and she lost her visa so she needed money to get a new one, then she was hijacked on the bus and was in the hospital for a week in a coma and of course when she got out she needed money to get a new plane ticket, then she got arrested for carrying checks over five thousand dollars so now she needs two thousand dollars to be able to get her pass port back and to leave the country. Its all crazy. My friend is just now starting to believe that maybe something isn't right with her. He is starting to ask questions. The good thing about this whole thing is he has only given her money once. In the beginning she needed five hundred dollars to leave the country which turned into a thousand before it was all said and done. After that I told him to not give her any more money. Since then each scam she comes up with gets bigger and bigger. Its all crazy....

The big thing is, you need to be careful. Very careful. Check the person out as much as you can. Do your research. Its the only weapon you....good luck....

my best friend is nigerian, and there is nothing wrong with nigerian men, b/c i've dated some of them. however, i would heed the warnings of some of these folks below, as well. someone claiming to be nigerian online and interested in you romantically is usually bad news. if he starts to tell you that he travels a lot and asks you to do things for him that don't make any sense - your red flag should go up. check this story out: http://thestory.org/archive/the_story_481_Love_Scam.mp3/view

I worked for a bank and dealt with alot of money scams, most of them were from people who meet nigerians online, be careful im not saying its a scam it could be a very nice guy but ive seen people lose alot of money due to trusting someone who isnt real.

I don't even know where Nigeria is on the map, so I can't help you with that. All these people are talking about 419 scams, and they feel the need to tell you everything they think they know about it, without actually knowing the name of what it is!

Now, mind you, all I can really tell you is if you're happy with him, so be it. Just don't let him hurt you. I don't have any good advice. Sorry. ;[
