With absolute confirmation, you can carry any amount in cash across US and Canada as long as it is declared to the custom
I carried well over the required landing POF as cash on me and travelled on emirate through US and there wasnt any issue... JUST DECLARE TO THE CUSTOM.
I also asked the custom officer was the maximum is and she said you can carry as high as 100K as cash but just declare and that landing immigrants are not that drilled for reason and source of fund.
However, to better explain to anybody both locally in Nigeria and other countries, I printed the POF page on CIC stating the MINIMUM cash required and the CBN publication on ban on electronic FOREX transfers.
If passing through dubai, you are only required to declare ammount above 30K USD.
My advise, do no depend on our nigerian bank card... they have extreme high exchange rate and had an experience where my wife card was said to be stolen

when I tried using it in Dubai.
PLEASE TAKE ALL YOUR CASH WITH YOU IN USD..... NO NAIRA MASTER OR VISA CARD... You surely do not want to erode that small cash to the P&L of our naija banks
