"A cheat who seeks to obtain money through advance fee scams." But the only citation says: "Today, in an increasingly interconnected world, a person is more likely to be robbed by a “Nigerian prince” on the Internet than a masked street thug." That's a standard use of quotation marks to mean "not really", e.g. "I met an 'entrepreneur' online who turned out to be unemployed". Equinox ◑ 22:00, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Added a couple possible quotations to Citations:Nigerian prince. There are more along those lines that could be gathered. What do you think? 70.175.192.217 22:20, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, promising. Maybe this particular citation was just a bad selection by the creator. Equinox ◑ 22:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
It's a common internet meme, compare also Advance-fee scam. Move to RFV. Fytcha (talk) 22:23, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Easier to keep this than make Nigerian prince scam and Nigerian prince email and maybe more. General Vicinity (talk) 22:24, 16 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Keep. If anything, this is an RFV issue, but that might even be widespread use. DAVilla 23:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Keep: widespread use, not SOP. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 01:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Keep: it definitely seems like this is used outside the literal meaning. Vininn126 (talk) 10:47, 13 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
