1. Nigerian President Jonathan declared emergency rule in three northern states yesterday. It is getting really ugly in parts of the country and it is not a good time for any foreigner to be in Nigeria. 2. "There was a guy who forged his passport to make him appear to be 55 years instead of 65 years. There were a couple of guys with forged medicals. There are always many F/Os who pretend to be experienced commanders." Do not forget about the large group of guys that Max Air accepts every year with fake p/c checks. Management is aware that they have fake documents, but the DFO always brings them back because they work for less money and they do not complain.
