Appreciate the thoughts re working in another country. The one advantage I have is that my contact is a Nigerian native, now a US citizen and North Carolina lawyer, who I've know for 15 years and trust completely. The contacts in Nigeria are, in turn, long time family friends of his.

I realize this doesn't remove all risk by ANY means, but it does place us in a different set of circumstances than trying to parachute in and do it on our own.

Thanks
