Thanks to rootuser's assistance, I now have this Nigerian lad in Benin.

A brief history - I've had him for about 4 months - met him in a YIM chatroom where he was offering to sell me gold-mining machines which were 5km tall for a mere $9000. Since then, he has been through a scheme where I was to invest in a warehouse some 10,000km long, exporting pocket billiards sets to me, etc. but I got him interested in , and we've been working on that since December. Rootuser joined in about a month ago. Along the path, he has worn a bra and panties for me, held fish in his hands and promised not to tell stupid lies.

At one stage, the money he was owed for a gold-mining machine (he's completely forgotten what this money was for) was sent to him via . and it went to Accra, not Nigeria. He had to travel to meet a corrupt Customs officer, who was going to hand over the package with most of the money. Unfortunately, this cooperative official got himself arrested before the money could change hands, and the lad returned to his home in Nigeria a sadder (but no wiser) lad. For example, he told rootuser and myself that had 260 takeoffs and 260 landings per day, and stuck to this story, even when we pointed out that this put Akure into the Heathrow league.

Anyway, the local insurance agent for , , was due to take his vacation in in Benin and kindly offered to take some money to pay for his aborted trip to Ghana, the scanner and printer he's just bought, etc., as well as gifts, for the lad. All was arranged, through the kind offices of , and the lad set off to Cotonou to meet them.

Today I received:

Dear Mister ,

I am very sorry to announce that the - Benin has been forced to close temporarily because a huge swarm of giant African Safari bees has taken residence at our accommodations.

Perhaps they were tempted by the warm welcome, excellent cuisine and outstanding customer service that we at , pride ourselves upon.

Am going back to nigeria now

All the IPs point to Benin. When I logged into YIM, I found the two words:

why this

A pathetic little plea. Well, if he goes back to Nigeria, he certainly will not get the money.

I just love stories like this. I trust you have more devious plans for him. Very Happy

I think we should try to get him in time and let him know that has been transferred to another camp, maybe in the neighboring country.
This might get him going a bit further.

It's a wild guess, but the only chance I see.

Okay, what do I have to add to my sig-line for the helmet?

@Thomas...
Get Simb4 to re-open the Benin Camp in he won't go to Cameroon.
Get your Lad to meet up with my Lads at the entrance to the Penj4ri Park.
I'll tell my Lads that I'm upset with them for not meeting the shuttle and have hired a new guy to come and pick up the US$117,000.
I'm sure they will be happy to meet him. Laughing
