They likely lost it to the widow of the late
Kwame Ogbomna, head of the Nigerian Banking Assembly, who needed them to deposit millions of in his estate bank account to an an overseas account because Nigerian law would not allow her to do it herself.

Not sure what I'm going to buy first when my Nigerian investment comes in, but it's going to be a BIG payday real soon!!

Still a few last-minute little details to work out, but my guy on the ground there is on top of things, keeping me aware of some minor fees that need to be paid, etc, etc.

Sounds like Cyprus and all the Russians parking money there. Don’t forget the first Bush forgave Russia a six billion loan, does anyone remember that?

I heard a story while I was contemplating going into Nigeria while in Porto Novo, Benin from someone that was just there.

An English man, who didn’t want to just send money there to retrieve a fortune, met up with someone in Lagos to make sure he was legit before handing him the money.

They found him tied up in a rowboat with no clothes a mile offshore.
