Why no pilot license validation fee or air law exam fee? (both are something that you DO need in Nigeria). Obvious to anybody here that this is a typical scam. Or a work visa (you need that, too).
The validation is done by email, directly from your government's CAA/FAA to the Nigerian CAA. No charge. Medical fees, work visa, etc should be paid directly from your employer to the relevant people.
Just remember that any time somebody in Nigeria asks for money, it's probably a scam. The hotel I'm at regularly has high profile cars parked here, with the import shipment tag still on the window. One Hummer still had it's California license plate on it (which was covered up the next day). I predict all stolen property, probably shipped from Mexico.
You can't safely use a credit or ATM card without the very real risk of charges showing up that you don't recognize.
