You should not be lending money to anyone that you don't know personally - only to those people so close that you know yo ucan trust them. Don't trust this guy - it has all the hallmarks of a scam.

My gosh, Mimi, why on earth are you wasting your time communicating with Nigerian trash ?
There are more scams coming out of Nigeria than porn sites in Yahoo. When someone from Nigeria contacts you, place them on ignore right away. And, for gosh sakes, don't even think to give them any personal information.
They all have a sob story and want someone to give them money or a ticket to the USA and even marriage. The Nigi females are as bad as the males. They will promise anything and scam anyone. Even the USA government has pressured the Nigerian government to curb their internet scams or they would lose some US funding. They have curbed it but still some scams go on.
As for finding love on the internet...yes, you can find "someone to love" on the internet, but love itself requires time to nurture and grow...internet or not.
The most difficult aspect of internet love is distance between lovers. If that cannot be overcome then it's a lost cause. Promises mean nothing if unable to be face to face and make them come true.
Be careful, Mimi...very careful !

Hey, Mimi. Why don't you just go ahead and give away 40k of your hard earned money and then you can cry to us on here about how stupid you were.
Any American stranded in Nigeria can simply go to the American Consulate for assistance.
You are dumb as a stump.
