Traveling to Nigeria from YVR late January / Early February

Am moving to Nigeria this month to be with my wife, and I have two Shitzu dogs that I wish to take along. They are collectively just over the 8 kg limit that would allow me via Lufthansa to take them both with me alone in the cabin area, and I need another body to take the second dog. Lufthansa has a pet friendly flight policy, and a reasonably economical flight with two stops in Montreal and Frankfurt that attracts me as a means of breaking up the time in the passenger cabin for the dogs. If anyone is traveling to Nigeria from this coast later this month, I will be happy to subsidize their fare at a rate we can negotiate in exchange for a partner willing to help me with the dogs.
