This is very important at the beginning of training when the bayes dosent know ham from spam but after time it gets more and more accurate and auto-learn is pretty reliable then.
You can try to feed the nigerian spams into sa-learn and see if that corrects it, but it might be quicker to dump the bayes db and start again with autolearn turned off to start with.
