As a Helo driver, I can say BTDT. Not Nigeria, but enough to be familiar with the territory from South Africa up to Kenya.
Unless you just want to do it for bragging rights, there are better places. Some other post from "Bad Andy" is from someone going there with a clean white shirt and no clue of what hes about to jump in. Read all the posts on this forum as many of these folks have lived and worked in Africa all their lives. If you go, latch onto these folks, dont eat or drink anything they dont (even that is questionable), dont fall in love (at least for money) and tuck in your mossie net.
As I mentioned before Health problems are numerous. Personal Security is limited, and living conditons in general, suck. Then you have to deal with a company who is trying to screw your eyes out (no reflection on Africair, I know nothing about them). Beyond that some places are extremely beautiful.
My email is good if I can answer anything specific.
Also in regards to Africair. The website (www.africair.com)
