Well said chuks! You are a man who has obviously been 'bitten by the mosquito' and Afrika is now in your blood. You can never leave, even if you never return, because there will always be some small part of Afrika there within you.
As you so rightly say though, it's all too often the pilots who are the unwitting (and then - sadly - 'late') pawns in the Nigerian way of doing aviation. There are some excellent Nigerian pilots as is shown by the fact that despite everyting they have to suffer, they manage not to have even more accidents flying marginally maintained aircraft, in marginal conditions into marginal, unmaintained airports.

RIP all those who were on the ill-fated aircraft.
