‘God is in control.’ ??

How sad, one more tragedy to add to the troubled Nigerian aviation history, all RIP

Why did it happen... anybody who's been operating in and around the area will already hold a few of the answers, namely:

- weather, POOR (plenty of TS + SQ around. If not, smog and low clouds coupled with haze)
- infrastructure, POOR (approach/runway/taxi lighting dead, ILS signals unstable, marking non-existant, slippery runways/tarmac)
- ATC, POOR (questionnable vectors, overloaded, dated equipment)
- aircraft, POOR (dodgy maintenance, non-availibility of spare parts, old partly maintained equipment)
- political system, POOR (corruption, poverty, lack of overview)

These culprits make Nigeria one of the, if not the one, most dangerous countries to fly in...

Solutions anybody?

- pilot,questionable decision ?
