re: What's New In W. Africa (Nigeria)
Bitmonx,
If you're a Bell man and you have a current licence my advice would be to go for Bristow Nigeria. The pay isn't too bad and you wouldn't need a conversion etc, just a check ride and some line training.
By the way, there are offshore operators (well, one at least) in Mauritania too.
Cheers & Good Luck.
