I also need information on adopting a child in Nigeria, specifically Akwa Ibom state. Any ideas/tips/info would be much appreciated.

1.Go to the State social welfare/service office and fill a form.
2.Visit orphanages and see if u wud spot a baby that u like.
3.Inform the orphanage of ur intentions.
4.Fill a form with the Orphanage,take a copy to the social welfare.
5.Shuttling back and forth from social welfare to orphanage,lots of questions are asked,ur person is investigated . . . bla bla.
6.If you qualify and pass both social welfare and orphanage criteria,the baby is urs
NOTE:Most homes only give children below 4 years up for adoption,likewise some homes asks for a token others don't.

Ifya,

It would seem like there could be room for abuse. I mean it would appear that this could be a good 419 con. You know take folks money. Then pretend the child is cared for properly and take the child back, to be sold to the next person.

Can't speak for every home in Niaja but I know quite a few that DO not ask for money BUT make it very clear to you that they are monitoring the child.If along the line they notice that the child is not well cared for(used as child slave,abused physically etc),they wud invite you for talks and If there are no positive change,they wud ask u to return the child.
Like everything . . .even this check is not foolproof.
