Just because the market is failing to properly realize the inherent value in ERHC shares does not mean that a potential suitor will be able to buy the company at the current market prices or even near it. A potential suitor will have to pay a premium to what ERHC's assets are actually worth, and that's a lot more than the current share price. IMHO, there will be no sale or buyin until oil is struck, with Nigerian blocks with proven oil going for $3 Billion, there is no way Offor sells anything until we have oil, and even then I suspect he'll wait for drilling in the EEZ, were ERHC has 2 100% blocks. I don't see drilling in blks 5, 6 or 9 for quite sometime, but I would not be surprised to see oil pumping from 2,3,4 and the EEZ within 6-36 months for all those blocks.
