Not every potential job offer in Nigeria is a scam. Just stick with the 'reputable' (I'm using the term loosely) Western companies like Bristow and CHC and you can be assured that there is an actual aircraft for you to fly and an actual paycheck for you at the end of the month. As for wanting to live or work there; it's a cost/benefit analysis that works out differently for all of us. If you can't imagine going there; then don't go.
