First clue - "Nigeria"
SCAM!
For that kind of money you could probably get a rescue yorkie right in Texas.
Check out all the organizations finding homes for yorkies. Occasionally they even have puppies.

Rescues make devoted pets, many have come from neglectful homes and are so grateful to be in a loving home. The rescue organization will screen both you and the dog to make sure you are a good match.

Right. Since when is "free" $200? You have to be kidding.
General rule: EVERYTHING coming out of Nigeria is a scam.

I got a lot of those when I was looking for dogs on internet...free yorkie, but have to ship from Africa...yadda, yadda...send me the money now and I will ship now. SCAM.
Also had one like that but in the US. I wanted to go pick up the dog, but then ther person got snotty and told me to let her do her job of delivering it. I found another dog(s) and was able to talk to th em on phone, got address, they didn't want deposit (luckily), so I drove 5 hours to get my girls, and they are wonderful!
Good Luck!

RUN away. Don't walk... RUN!
This is a SCAM. NEVER EVER buy an animal from overseas---buy animals LOCALLY from reputable and responsible breeders, shelters, and rescues!

It costs more than that to fly a dog across the country much less from overseas. Do you really think they will charge less toship than theairline? SCAM
