I know it's intentional but very amusing name considering the country of origin.

It’s almost certainly not because of the advance fee scam.

You don’t have to meet many Nigerians before you find one that claims to be some kind of a Prince back home.

Nigeria used to be hundreds/thousands of separate kingdoms and many people have a claim to be chiefs/kings of those historic kingdoms. Male descendants of such leaders will claim the unofficial title of Prince. They may not have any real national standing but such leaders will be respected by their local communities.

It may look like one big country but there’s no official single royal family (unsurprising since it is a Republic). To give an idea of the diversity of Nigeria consider the fact that the country has over 500 native languages that are actively spoken.

I never knew of this bro.
