And his brother, John, who lives in Lagos but has friends here.

Do you guys know the joke about the Nigerian email scammer?

If not, here goes.

A Nigerian prince dies. The police in Lagos check out his apartment, perplexed about why he's living in such humble circumstances.

His sister explains that he is just that way. He didn't want to live an extravagant lifestyle. Then, the police discover millions of dollars of gold bullion in his bedroom.

"What's up with that?" They ask the sister.

The sister says, completely nonplussed, "He sent millions of emails to random people trying to give it all away, but nobody would take him up on it."

Told to me by a Nigerian software engineer years ago.

I also like dad jokes.
