Sorry, I did say that the Nigerian government was in on it, when I
should have said that it appears some Nigerian officials are in on
it, or some at least turn a blind eye. From our State Department's
website (http://travel.state.gov/tips_nigeria.html):

"Unfortunately, [Nigerian] police and other officials have not
provided assistance to those caught up in scams."

"Many scam operators are very sophisticated and may take victims to
staged meetings, often held in borrowed offices at Nigerian
government ministries."
