pardon my ignorance but if he pays you the money and shipping costs whats the problem? Is he asking you to send the phone before you recieve payment or what?

I'd just tell him to either pay me via cheque/cash or sod off.
It seems when it comes to stuff like this as soon as the words Nigeria or Africa are mentioned everyone panics and shouts scam!
God help someone genuinly wanting to buy a phone and send it to africa
