I've been educated by a lad!

The helpful lad wrote:

the maximum amount to transfer once to my country must be below $10,000,any transaction that exceeds this amount will be under investigation by a group called EFCC hear in Nigeria,and it will be very difficult for the owner to receive the fund,it will involve a lot process

Is this common knowledge both here and in Ladland? I certainly don't recall reading about this before, and it's potentially very useful information.

More info about the EFCC can be found on their website.

Yes it is known that is why they have offshore accounts, but still need copies of transfer slips to show authorities to, prove it is not coming from crime (money laundering).

Also I heard from a lad that they are fussy who goes to get money from 'bank' WU or MG 'dirty boys' may get arrested! My understanding only the OGA will go to collect money.

$10,000 is a magic number in some other jusidictions as well.

Cross border transfers in the US are supposed to be reported. Banks are required to report thme and individuals should report carrying more than $10,000 in cash or financial instruments. The later can be very tricky at times.

I once was ferrying a new airplane and was carrying a letter of introduction that referred to a bank transfer document. That document was considered to be a financial instrument.
