#4 Nigeria seems an example of where Private Military Companies could be useful. Standing up an army is hard for a bunch of reasons. Sending inexperienced troops up against well-seasoned hard boys is not a recipe for success.

Spending a little oil money to hire a PMC to deal with the miscreants buys some time to build an army and it deals with the current crop of bad guys. You'd want a well-equipped PMC though, capable of heliborne assault. A gunship or two, or some artillery would come in handy. As an extra bonus, since you are paying them, they aren't likely to overthrow your ass.
