for a job in Nigeria, is it a scamm?

Answer 1

Nigeria is the world's capital for financial scams.

Yes it is a scam. Never transact any money with Nigerian companies.

If you plan on working there, check out whatever you think you need in your own country from major reliable institutions.

Amkhosro,

Step away from the keyboard now. Turn and run as fast as you can before you lose your money. If this was real the employer would be paying this expense. Run.
