How Fake Dollars Stopped Me From Traveling To Dubai

In December, 2008 I was preparing to honour an invitation to Dubai for a literary forum by a Dubai Writers Club. So, I wanted to have enough dollars for the trip. But I ended up buying fake dollars near Balogun Market on the Lagos Island. I was left in shock and did not travel to Dubai again. 

 If I had gone to Dubai that year, I would have been having a different life today. Because the writers in the UAE would have occupied me with their literary projects.

Fake Dollars in Circulation in Nigeria

FAKE US DOLLARS IN CIRCULATION IN NIGERIA

Beware! There are fake dollars in circulation in Nigeria.
A Nigerian publisher and writer was duped by foreign exchange dealers on the Marina in Lagos when he later discovered that the $600 (six hundred dollars) he bought were fake.
He said that when he went looking for them, he could not find them again.
They were operating on the pavement of the MR. BIGGS restaurant on the Marina in Lagos, beside the Guaranty Trust Bank.
