Hello! You share a very similar situation to mine  Don't be nervous and trust in yourself. Once you get to Nigeria and see him you will know. I met my fiance in January 2016 and went to see him this Feb for 2 weeks. It was an awesome experience and his family, friends and the locals were SUPER nice. Don't let the "stereotypes" get you down, you know him and he knows you! Also, as long as you can prove your relationship is real through pictures and conversations (and other documents you send), you will be fine! I hope you have so much fun and really enjoy yourself. Feel free to send messages if you need any assistance!!

My fiance and I met face to face 6 months after we started talking.   He proposed about a week into my first trip.   I came home and filed a few months later because we were waiting on some documents, although I would have filed right after my trip otherwise.  We knew before I even visited that we were in love and wanted to spend our lives together.  Meeting just confirmed what we already knew.  When you know, you know! 
 
My advice-
1) Like others have said, take lots of pictures with him, his family, places you're going, etc.
2)  Keep receipts from activities that you do, as well as your boarding passes.
3)  FRONT LOAD your petition.   This is one of the most important things for Nigeria. 
4)  Most importantly, be careful.  Have fun and enjoy yourself and your time together.   And eat Suya (haha)!
 
I have now visited four times and was present on the grounds for his interviews although Nigeria doesn't let you go in with them for the interview like some consulates do.  I highly suggest being there for his interview if you do end up filing for him.  
 
If you read my story don't be alarmed that we were denied because it was for other reasons.  We were initially approved having only met one time before filing, only knowing each other 6 months before getting engaged, and getting engaged on the first trip.  The interview was my third trip there.  The important thing is to front load and have all the right evidence of your relationship.  It's all about being prepared and being honest!
 
Safe travels!   Always here if you have any questions!
 
On another note, make sure you apply for your Nigerian visa on time because sometimes they take a bit of time! 

Well first off, I'd wait to see how it goes once you've met. 
 
All you can do is provide tons of evidence. Meet his family, take lots of pictures of you with his family and everyone together. Keep receipts of everything, especially if it includes both of you on the receipts. 

Hello!
I am a U.S. citizen and my fiance is in Nigeria. We will meet for the first time in September and be spending 10 days together. I was hoping to start the k1 visa process on my return to the states, but I'm worried that it may get rejected; one because he is Nigerian, and we all know that having a Nigerian fiance or spouse is some kind of red flag due to scams. My other concern is that the consulate will question our relationship because we have only met one time and we've only been together for a 6 months. Does anyone have any advice for me?

I am March 20 I hope we both get it next week

Change your mindset.  I've been there, and up until now ours is still not here, and it is way past the timeline.  I couldn't think straight since Friday.  I was badgering my fiance to do something.  All that energy is useless.  There's really nothing we can do but wait.  So let's be patient.  Do not allow your mind to get depressed.  Get busy with something fun.  It'll be there soon.  Don't worry.
 
We got an almost the same timeline, btw.
