"What were you doing in Africa? Excellent post. One of the things that disturbs me most about this continent is the appetite of the ordinary person for blood."

I'm an oil well drilling consultant.
In Nigeria I was working for Ashland Oil and AGIP in the bush out of Ebocha and offshore out of Warri. I stayed three years in that place, but I never want to go back.
I was in Uganda and Tanzania for AGIP- better than Nigeria, but not by much.

I, also, was bothered by the blood lust and the complete indifference to the suffering of their fellow Africans.
I absolutely do not understand the mentality of someone who could stomp the brains out of a child or whack off their hands.
I saw that insane look in the eyes of the people on Bar Beach, and it's frightening.
