Money Laundering in Nigeria is a crime.
Therefore if you are carrying a cash value exceeding
$10, 000, you may be prosecuted.




This is what the Law says concerning that......

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) notes with concern the increasing trafficking of huge sums of foreign currency across our borders. This practice is in defiance of the extant dictates of Section 2 (subsection 3-5) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) which categorically states that:

·“Transportation of cash or negotiable instruments in excess of US$10,000.00 or its equivalent by individuals in or out of the country shall be declared to the Nigerian Customs Service.” (subsection 3)

·“The Nigerian Customs Service shall report any declaration made pursuant to subsection (3) of this section to the Central Bank of Nigeria.”(subsection 4)

·“Any person who falsely declares or fails to make a declaration to the Nigerian Customs Service pursuant to section 12 of the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, F34, LFN, 2004 is guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to forfeit the undeclared funds or negotiable instrument or to imprisonments to term of not less than 2 years or to both.” (subsection 5).

GOODLUCK.

Universally it is $9,999 at any airport and you don't need to declare it.

Once it hits $10,000 and above, it has to be declared. And you have to declare what the cash is for.

Don't know if there is a bank in Nigeria that dispenses Dollars, so I doubt if your card will work in Nigeria.

If you don't need Dollar currency but only need Naira in Nigeria, I don't see the reason you should carry a lot of Dollars. It is not really safe. You can always transfer into your Nigeria account through Transferwise( An international, reputable company). Their rate is 355 Naira to 1 Dollar. Your money get to your Nigerian account in about 1h. You can use my referral code https://transferwise.com/w/adedamolas
