Nduka Obiagbena publishes the successful Nigerian newspaper This Day (the company tried to break into the jingoistic and cartel-like South African media market, but failed). He is also attracting attention for his schemes to improve Nigeria’s national image: throwing lavish parties in the commercial capital Lagos with mostly US entertainment personalities like Jay Z, Mary J Blige, Naomi Campbell (that Obiagbena in the picture above with Ms Campbell), Usher as well as yesterday’s political mandarins like former Clinton White House official Paul Begala (I don’t get why he’s invited). The New York Times profiled him here. [HT: Naijablog]

If she’s transferring the money to you, make sure you know her real well berfoe you give her any account information. There are a lot of scams going on right now with people saying they’ll transfer you money from Africa so they can get your account number. Make sure you know this person.If you need to send the money to her, a wire transfer will be the fastest, cheapest and most secure way to do this. Western Union does not guarantee deliveries internationally, as far as I know. Get her account number, account title, bank name, bank SWIFT Code (it’s an international routing number, usually 8 letters/numbers). Take this info into your Chase branch and they’ll wire the funds out for you for about $50 flat. International delivery time will vary, because her bank is involved too, but will normally not take much longer than a couple of days to a week.I used to work for one of the largest banks in U.S. for 4 years.P.S. Next time please post questions like this under Business category, not Singles. Thank you.
