NEVER EVER use your credit card after you landed in this country. Nigeria is very famous for all credit card scam and fraud.

Do not even your credit card to pay for hotel bills at a 5 star hotel. Many visitors who signed their credit card in the country, suffer when they return home to find out that their cards were immediately charged with all strange transactions costing thousands of dollar.

Don't ask me how it happened, but the reality is they have the network to track you down once they have your full name as appear on the card and the signature.
