Don't.
You can at some bigger places like major hotels, but credit card scams are extremely common. Number skimming, theft, etc. I recall once I was offered 'carbons' of many different cards by a conman who was looking to sell other people's numbers.
Just deal in cash.

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_987.html says "Credit cards are rarely accepted beyond a few upscale hotels. Due to credit card fraud in Nigeria and by cohorts in the United States, credit card use is strongly discouraged. While Citibank cashes some travelers checks, most other banks do not. American Express does not have offices in Nigeria, but Thomas Cook does have offices in Nigeria. Inter-bank transfers are often difficult to accomplish, though money transfer services are available. For further information, visitors may contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate."

If you do you will arrive home to a massive bill...DON'T use them in Nigeria, cash is the only thing you can be assured wont give you any head-aches (but only carry what you need each day plus a little hidden in your shoe)
