I can't speak specifically for Bond - Nigeria.
Bond has never operated in Nigeria
helipiloto,
As with many things in this life, the life you get is the one you make. Port Harcourt is a large, busy base with a lot of staff of many nationalities from Spain to USA, Ecuador, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, Malaysia to Peru amongst other countries operating a mix of Bell 407, Bell 412, S76C+/C++, AS332L/L2 and S92 and doing a lot of flying, mostly offshore and some onshore. The security and accommodation is good, but Port Harcourt is a big city and the journey to work can sometimes take a while. Make sure you take your MP3 player and a Kindle or a good supply of paperback books
. Nigeria has a somewhat but readily available mobile phone network which is easily accessible and relatively cheap, though not always very reliable. The accommodation is very good with a lot of facilities provided in the compound if you want to use them. You can cook for yourself or eat in the staff restaurant, there's satellite Tv, internet (not great compared with Europe, but ok for Africa) and sporting facilities.
There will be those who say it's great and those who say it's rubbish, but the only way is to come and see for yourself
. There's an old saying that once you have been bitten by the mosquito Africa will always be in your blood! There's another that says "if you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending the night in a locked room with a mosquito". I always say that newcomers always come here telling everybody how they're going to change Africa - but if they stay long enough, they may be lucky enough to find that Africa has changed them
. Keep your mind as open as your eyes and you may learn something and enjoy the experience
