How much more do people make there? I can't see how anyone would want to go there for less than 5x their salary.

It isn't just the salary (though that bump can be considerable). You generally get a spot in the company compound (meaning you live rent free) and many offer cafeterias and other services which help cut down on expenses.
Plus living like a monk for your term over there means relatively little other expenses since you almost never leave the compound.

I did a hitch in EG. West Africa is pretty simple, assume everyone , who doesn't work for your company , wants to kill you. That way, you'll keep your guard up. These stories about people getting into unknown cabs and leaving the compound , Darwin-ism at its finest.

Single. No attachments. Higher salary, free flights, free room and board, free meals, excitement, travel. Like a hitch in the military, except you get paid well and actually make the world a better place.
