So, that's one reason that one of the brightest minds in SSPX has been relegated to a mud hut in Nigeria, and not only that, as an "assistant priest", not even the Prior there.
I've noticed this with the SSPX. All of the priors were ordained in the 2010s, while all the "veteran" priests are left to be "assistants"... or even worse, as you say, sent to some foreign country. 
In fact, I know the prior in Nicholville, NY was ordained and only one or two years later made prior.

As we all probably know, Fr. McFarland, who is the vocations director, has some strange ideas on the nature of sacerdotal vocations. I'm not sure why they put the "working out" or "buff" priest to be the vocations director. It would make sense to have a more intelligent man fill that position, no?

Haven't they done the same with Fr. Chazal? I mean, putting him as far away as possible, both from his own culture and geographically? But it kind of backfired, since he became one of the leading voices of the Resistance and seems to be doing a great job among the people there.

Some of these priests transfers are kind of cruel. I don't really see how the priest or the faithful profit from such extreme differences. A goodwilling local priest could probably do a better job, since he would not spend so much time and energy learning the languages and cultures. As far as I know, before the Vatican II, a religious would not be transfered to a different district if the did not agree with the transfer. No such privilege in the SSPX.
In the case of Fr. Chazal, he was already assigned in Asia (then under Fr. Daniel Couture) before the Resistance started in 2012 and was supposed to be assigned to the District of France (then under Fr. Regis de Cacqueray), but refused to do so.

I did not know this. Thank you for the information.

By accepting Novus Ordo ordinations, they have effectively abandoned the safeguards of Tradition. This move demonstrates a full submission to Modernist Rome and confirms that any resistance within their ranks is now neutralized.

Archbishop Lefebvre and the pre-2012 SSPX accepted Novus Ordo priests working with the Society without conditional ordination after their status have been investigated by the superiors. This was one of the matters brought up by the Nine in the US for refusing submission to Archbishop Lefebvre.
