Hi Stan Switek

Hi Stan,

You are right that security can be provided that would make it more difficult to attack expats. However, that would be attacking the government monopoly on power. The oil companies and contractors are not an occupying military power. Until the National Government can provide security or publicly reliquishes it's right to control security the expatriates working in Nigeria have a serious problem.

Should you believe everything your employer tells you about the job in Nigeria? That's up to you! As I said, over a year ago, the spirit of Biafra is alive and growing in the Delta.

During the thirteen years I worked in Nigeria I never thought of myself as a bad person. However, I sometimes wondered if I was working for the good guys.

Cheers,
