I don't think there's a proper postal service in Nigeria.
It's a shame that the actions of a criminal minority has besmirched an entire country though.

no idea, but ive just been reading about a pilot who flew his small cessna 152aeroplane from the usa to africa!
he crossed the atlantic to the azores and then onto the west african coast. then flew all the way to south africa!
after he finished he counted up his expenses. and he had spent more on bribes/fees/duties/parking etc, than he had used in fuel!
he was charged 200 dollars for landing at one airport for a night landing when it plain to anyone that it was 4pm and bright daylight!

My OH is nigerian and is one of the most honest and hard working people i know (wouldnt have married him otherwise)!!. However, hes the first to admit that his fellow countrymen have ruined things for the honest ones. As for the nigerian postal system, they do have one but i'm afraid those at the other end like customs usually open the parcel and keep the contents. If it does get through, they usually take months to deliver it.

So does that mean that all those scammed phones/ipods/gadgets never reach the scammer anyway?

I've justmanaged to sell a laptop to a nigerian doctor - the money is being held by paypal and will be released once he receives it and it helps him cure cancer. Once that is done he will have the funds for his expedition to retreive his ex-partners lost forune of which once I give £10k and my bank details I will receive 10% of. Can't wait.

I just got a psychic message from your Nigerian witch doctor. He couldn't cure cancer so regrets he's currently unable to release your funds. However, if you send him a 6GB iPod to listen to while seeking a cure - well, he'll be more than happy to pay you by Western Union money order for £5,000 for your trouble. If you would be so kind as to refund the excess £4,000 to him by Western Union money transfer he would be so obliged. ;-)
