It is irresponsible of FHI to advertize positions in these LGA's

You obviously don't know what aid working entails so shut it.

I remember expressing all that negativity about applying in Dikwa/Ngala. Until I saw a guy "comfortably" seated in his shop in Anambra state that is "peaceful", and a truck came and rammed into his shop and killed him.
Death is everywhere. And it will get us all. We might as well make some money along the way, right?
In any case, FHI360, doesn't send it's staff to a place without proper security checks. Dikwa and Ngala are currently safe, relatively more so than Borno, because based on BH current modus operandi of bombing hard targets, Bombing Dikwa or Ngala would just be foolhardy. Even at that, their staff still enjoy round the clock security. Transportation to and fro is by helicopter, because they don't want story. Strict security protocols which if u follow will keep you safe. Constant patrol by military, CJTF and some undercover foreign security agents (cuz they have whites in the field too)
Their payment packages are also very competitive. Drivers alone earn 200k monthly. 200k a month, for driving around in a full option 2017 Ford Explorer! And that's after tax, and pension.
But, forget about the money for a split second. The people in these places have been left in the wake of the terrible devastation from all the fighting. They need healthcare, food and other relief materials, rehabilitation, reestablishment of normalcy, education, and most of all, hope. Men and women of honor in the past used to travel many miles to go help these people, for free, without security personnel following them, because they knew these people would perish without their help. I wish people would learn to look beyond themselves and actually practice all that stuff they learn in church/mosques.

I'm all for humanitarian work but do so knowing the risks.
In Nigeria today, no force can claim to protect you against Boko haram period. The army is doing it's best but there is still a lot of ground to cover. And trying to predict where Boko haram will bomb next is futile.

IamaNigerianGuy:


I know a lot more than you Mr and I've lost a colleague to boko haram insurgents.

Why don't you volunteer for assignment there anyway? They would welcome you

Boko haram is still active and dangerous and the FG is releasing commanders into the field. Who will guarantee the safety of a doctor posted there ?
In your opinion aid work should be a suicide mission?

You just typed rubbish without thinking.

Why?

Go back to school and improve your English..A pry sch pupil will construct something better.

Like I said, bro. 1. Statistically and theoretically speaking, Dikwa is safe enough. I'm not dead yet. 2. It pays very well; I'm earning double my previous pay, and spending half of my previous expenses. 3. Somebody has to do the job, and someone will do the Job, make the money, and pump up his CV. So that when bigger NGOs come calling, you will still be at a disadvantage because he has more experience than you.
Good luck living a safe life, though.
