my partner went out to nigeria 4 monthhs ago, on buisness. it seems once in nigeria, it is so very hard to get out...everything seems to be about money..can anyone explain to me, what you have to pay for apart from the flight.... is there anything else that has to be paid for..like taxes or anything.....
also it appears that my partner is being blackmailed and robbed of his belongings...... is there any way i can help him.

I heard something like BTA (Business Travel Allowance) a part from the flight but not sure if it's for real or not.
Anyhow, take care. Nigeria is a country with full of scam artists.

There might be something like an airport/departure tax. If his business involved exports there might be export taxes or a similar tax based on his business. The best thing is for him to contact his embassy in Nigeria, inform them, and ask their advise.
Another thought might be that he/she doesn't want to leave and is using an excuse.
