My brother based in US wants to partner with our cousin in sending a container of auto parts to Nigeria.

I am worried about:
a. Are the ports functioning under Buharis regime?
Any ethnic prejudices that delay the container?
b. Can they really trust the partner in Nigeria that sent
half to give them their part of the profit? He is new
to autopart business.
c. How do you find a trustworthy clearing agent?
d. Is this a good time for importing parts?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Eyah. From your questions, you are so fresh. Don't even venture into this business yet because you are so fresh in this area. You are 5 mins from getting burned.

Is it tougher in the wharf with the new administration?

How can bitterleafdoup import spare parts

How well do they know the Nigeria seller, and How long is the Nigeria seller in Auto Business. Ask about him from the people in the market where he sells if he is trust worthy?
Got my finger burnt once, even though I'm in Nigeria ooo

They decided against it after all.
I suggested medical tourism what do you think about that? Helping people come to states to have baby or see a specialist.

The bolded is not true. No one would delay your containers cos you're Igbo.

You can't trust your partner in Nigeria. Unless there is a drawn contract between both parties and constant checks, you will be scammed. I'm telling you with 100% certainty.

I suggest you talk to those selling parts and get their opinion on best time to import parts.

If you want my honest advice, let the sponsor stick to dealing in what he has knowledge of. Money can not buy experience and it is experience that they'll use in cheating him.

Yeah that's what I told them even if they carry goods to market self they still run the chance of being priced scammed cause they know you want to travel back ASAP!
