Answer 1

I am Nigerian but i have no idea honestly. But if the other guy said so, i guess its true but i doubt if it hold true for Nigerians themselves

Answer 2

This is true, I have a loved one who is in Nigeria now because he had to go over to take care of family. And was told that he had to have so much money on him to come back. This is ridiculous! So he is stuck over there for now.

Needless to say it took all the money he had to get the tickets back to the states for him and child, I am not happy and neither is he. I will never travel to Nigeria.

Answer 3

Dude, its a complete scam.  I had a Nigerian visitor this year several times already.  The passport costs about $70 to renew, and there is no such thing as a BTA.
