SASless,
Not sure what you're after? I've visited Burkina Faso on numerous occasions, but my European passport gave me no advantage, though the fact that I'm the same color (if that's what you're after) could have made them more sympathetic I guess. I have heard of the 'old colonial' attitude still being prevalent in Bristow, and I gues if their new senior management is from Houston, that won't make things any better.
As far as I know the Nigerian company to which I refer just has the same lousy management attitudes towards its staff as many Nigerian companies do - if you watch Nollywood dramas on TV (fat chance I guess, but they are very amusing), a lot of Nigerian managers really are like the people you see there. In fact the company I'm talking about could well be the basis of a Nollywood drama
