I didn't want to quote your entire write up.

He works with a construction company, its actually an epic firm( engineering, procurement, installation & commissioning)

they are building a facility for shell, I think a flow station. it's an ONshore projenct, not offshore but it's in a remote location

So it's not about another wife or girlfriend or bad one for that matter.

For this 5weeks, all he gets is his basic salary plus daily feeding allowance. No insurance nothing nothing.

I think the workers have protested before, they have no union & certain personnels were sacked

Shell couldnt do anything about it since that bothered on the company policy (I don't want to mention the name). That's the explanation shell gave, am sure those guys were compromised

but I know that most construction companies handling various jobs for shell, chevron etc maximum I have heard of is 3wks in, 1week out

So is there any law regulating this or at least that states that if you keep people more than usual, you will have to compensate them

I guess he read the ''Terms and Conditions'' of his employment. If he feels his rights have been breeched, then he can stage a protest. That is why having a union in such companies is very necessary. Its quite unfortunate that we are helpless in situations like this because of unavailability of jobs...

Hello house, pls I wanted to know if there are any laws governing how long someone will stay offshore, creek etc

I ask because of my friends husband, he works in an onshore location in one of those remote creeks, he works for 5weeks on & only has 3days as off

Some other companies in that location works for 28days on including Sundays and has only 4days as off

Just imagine leaving your wife & kids for 5 solid weeks just to spend 3days with them!! It's not as though the pay is big o

So are there laws governing this, it's a shell project & he works for one of the contractors
the spdc inspectors do 2wks on 2wks off.

Am sorry about your friend's husband situation. The truth is that there is no one overall rule governing how long one stays offshore. There are several scenarios that may determine his stay offshore:

1. Does he work with an International Oil Company (IOC)[b]

Generally, people that work with the IOCs (SNEPCO, Chevron, Agip, Mobil, Total) often do a 2-week rotation if their back-to-back (relief person) is Nigerian. But if your back-to-back is an expatriate its usually a 28 days rotation basis. You generally earn equal number of days you stay offshore as recuperation.. This varies from company to company. Most of their cash comes from their monthly salary and allowances, while they get extra from field/offshore allowances. So, staying offshore too long may not be very beneficial considering their family waiting back at home.

[b]2. Or an Oil Servicing Company?:
Generally, guys that work with Oil servicing companies are called out for specific tasks. The duration of the task may be shorter than 14 days or longer than 28 days. I have seen guys that stay offshore for 3 months on a particular job. It is also, important to note that the huge chunk of their pay comes from field/offshore allowances; and this makes them want to work extra days, even if it means sacrificing their recuperation days. But this is not something one does every shift, especially if he has a family back at home. Also, some companies have manpower issues.

3. If he has a 'unwelcoming' wife back at home:
This may sound strange, but some guys are willing to stay more days offshore rather than going back home to face their unwelcoming wife. Some complain of increased BP whenever they go home. They rather work extra days, send money home to their wives and have peace of mind. They are willing to stay a few extra days offshore without any benefit

4. If he has another wife/gf/family somewhere else:
It is not uncommon for an offshore worker to live a double life.. This is the worst nightmare wives of offshore workers face.. Am sure your friend might be in this this situation. Your friend's husband case is not strange but also not a normal one....

@OP, u drink schwepps a lot? I hear some ladies drink schwepps when they just finished having

Great timing..May 29th is here

Fat guys like me haff suffer...

Inbox me d last price...bigtalla@yahoo.com

@OP, I know a few peeps who have gotten visas with salaries lees than 180k and have not travelled out of the country before. Some likely reasons u were denied visa are:

1. You appear to have no strong ties to Nigeria : Travelling alone without your kid(s) and hubby raises a red-flag. Seems like you are running away. Next time, apply for a visa for the whole family, even if you plan to travel alone.
2. Intention of Visit sounds weak: You may truly have a cousin you miss so much and would love to see, but what stops your cousin from visiting you here in Nigeria (I want to assume your cousin is not yet married)? Rather than you leaving your hubby and kids to make a long trip to the US.
3. What you plan to do during your visit: During your 2 weeks stay, I think it would have made more sense saying you are going for a vacation and u plan to visit wonderful places like, NASA space centre, Musem for Natural sciences, etc (depending on where u want to visit). Then when asked if you know anyone in the USA, u say YES, you have a cousin and may visit her, depending if time permits you
4. Where you will be staying: You can book hotel room(s) without paying a kobo. This gives the Visa Officer the impression you won't be inconveniencing anyone in the USA and you plan to 'spend' your cash in the USA...
