You're screwed, especially if that money went to Nigeria. My condolences. There is a saying that is very apt here "If something looks too good to be true, it is"
When Western Union gives money out, I think all they need is the name and the pass phrase - I am not even certain they need to show a government issued ID at the receiving end, especially in some third world coulnty lik Nigeria. That would be your only hope.
Let this be a lesson to you.

I believe that your money is gone. Western Union won't be able to track it except to say where it was picked up.
File a police report and get them to contact Yahoo but I don't think that the details that they supplied would be valid.

Sucker.
Rule of thumb regarding scams:
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn't
