A three-minute, 45-second footage secretly filmed by one of the passengers detailing the encounter of the trio, in the hands of the policeman, has become a sensation on YouTube and other social networking sites.
The cop who was comfortably sitting at the back seat of the car from where he negotiated the dollar-bribe subsequently ordered the passenger back into the vehicle with a view to kick-starting the negotiation.
The Nigerian-American quickly cut in to explain that he wasn’t carrying any dollars on him and that he was only on vacation in the country.
Comedy
''This is N700. What is the value of N700? I need dollars. Let us go and change it (naira to dollars). Bring better thing. That one is no money. That one is not money, I don tell you finish oo,” he said with a scornful look.
There is a bureau de change (operator) here,” he explained while pointing towards the right hand side of the location where they were stationed.
At a point when it appeared that they were not forthcoming on giving him the bribe, the policeman threatened to take them to the police station where they might face bigger sanctions for the alleged contravention of the traffic law.
“Start your motor make we go office. Let’s go to station,” he yelled at the guys.

Bargaining Strategy
When the policeman sighted a cigarette with the Nigerian-American, he yelled, “Are you smoking?”
The Nigerian American quickly replied, “Its e-cigarette.”
“Are you a Nigerian?” the policeman asked just as the Nigerian-American responded that he is a Nigerian.
“But you speak like oyinbo. How old are you in America (sic)?” the policeman further asked.
After making his inquiry, the policeman reiterated his demand. “Give us better thing abeg. Don’t waste my time. Let the money be complete. I don’t like this thing ooo. I say complete am.”
