casual question

Is there an age limit for working in Nigeria? Do either of the big operators make it a point not to hire over a certain age? Also, how do US pilots get around the whole "type rating" issue? I inquired a few years ago (before I hit age 60) and was asked if I had a type rating in the 412 even though I had about 3500 hours of 412 time. In the US we don't get type ratings for less then 17,500lbs. I didn't pursue it then as I decided I didnt want to go to Nigeria anyway...lol
