I see that some more Halliburton men were recently held up at gunpoint in the town center.
I guess they will never learn until the list gets longer & deadlier.
I am at a loss to see what the attraction is in this country. It is not he pay because it is the same almost everywhere. It certainly is not the location because there is nothing there for anyone.
Brain washing is the only explanation I can come up with. Are you guys so desperate for work that you are willing to go there? Really a stupid decision.

Say NO to NIGERIA work
Just in case anyone is still foolish enough to accept a job in this country please take note of the following story. Keep in mind that not all agenies are like this one & many are well informed. But when it comes to Nigeria YOU are the one that must know what you are getting into.
I was give a proposition to be a back to back relief with a friend of mine. We were assured that it was in a secure & safe place & well organized. My friend has just returned form what was discribed a secure safe position as a mud eng offshore. After one week the rig next to his was raided & men taken as hostages. He was lucky for the next 2 weeks but there were numerous incidents including him being blackmailed by the senior local hand on the rig. On his trip home he was delayed in town & sent to a very questionable hotel where one expat man had just been killed & 3 wounded during a robbery attempt. He is still waiting to receive his salary which also looks like it may be a long drawn out problem.
I refused to go & he will not be returning for any reason.
Another close friend was shot dead in May of last year as he was traveling in a company car to his office. NO money is worth your life & I am aggivated with the constant job offers for this deadly spot.
Later, Steve
