Bluejuice is spot on. And not just with Nigeria, but Afrika. I've never read a more honest and self-aware post in the however many years I've been reading PPrune. Everyone else who paints a rosier picture either has one of the extremely rare jobs on this CONTINENT that is legit, safe, accountable and well funded or the more likely scenario, is in their early twenties and bright eyed and bushy tailed or is probably recently divorced with a new local girlfriend that does durty stuff...If you get paid on time here, it's because it's a government job. If it's a government job and you get paid on time, it's because the government is recently propped up by a western power or eastern vulture. If you have Indians, Yemenis, Phillipinos and Uruguayans trying to get you to fly overweight or with not enough fuel while they sit in an air conditioned container, it's a UN job. Either way, they're all the same same. Anyone else who says different is blowing smoke where the sun don't shine my brotha.
