I was there in '04 through '05. For Shell in fact. Worked on finishing the Bonga for them. Landing in Legos for the first time is quite the experience. We were hustled through customs and security to vans with curtains on the windows and strict instructions to NOT open the curtains. Two cop cars in front, two in back. Took a 45 minute ride through Legos to the Eko Hotel. Stayed the night then flew out of Snake Island the next morning to the FPSO for a 6 week hitch. Finished that gig and said never again for Nigeria.
RIP men.
RIP men.

Who did you work for?
I worked on Bonga back then and did three trips to Lagos and Port Hartcourt.
People here have no idea how good we got it. You want to see TRUE poverty and corruption, go take a vacation there.
I was offered a job over there for a 3 year stint. I turned it down, despite it being almost triple my stateside salary.
frick that noise.
