Ah, Nigeria. I sent a load of equipment there to refurbish/replace the
control systems for three large gas engine/compressor units. We shipped
the stuff in containers, had customs inspect each container as it
arrived and immediately welded the doors shut. Angle grinder job to get
them open at site.

No. The stuff was okay, but the supervisor was kidnapped a few times!


presuambly by his relatives.....

No. The supervisor was British, the locals kidnapped him a few times for
small ransoms of either cash or work done for the local community - all
quite civilised by the sound of it!
