In the Pittsburgh backpage.com an ad appeared for loans from $5,000 to $20,000 with the first 7 takers getting no interest loans. Needing a loan badly, I answered immediately and found out the person was from Nigeria. Although my application is only one page and he wants a copy of my driver's license, yahoo mail will not attach the download. I get the feeling my mail is being scrutinized but that isn't the issue. I'm wondering if anyone has heard about a scam like this.

Yep, it's a scam.
Just wait until he has you send wire transfer funds or he needs access to your account to get the money to you.
It is without a doubt a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's a scam...do not send your personal info!!!! Seriously, if you've heard about that minister's wife in TN who killed her husband....that was part of the reason she did it....something about a scam from Nigeria (they were having money problems and that was part of it).

Do not try anything with such Nigerian contacts. They are international Crooks. If u follow their instructions they may cheat u asking some up front payment for loan sanction.
