Turkish 1123

Many congratulations and a standing ovation to the Turkish crew.
Many many thanks also to the Kenya 513 crew : they were helping the Turkish all the time, giving information about the area, suggesting vectors, giving weather info, relaying between the 1123 and Accra control, asking other aircraft to not congest the frequency, since all new contacting a/c were not aware of the situation.
My question is : since Accra has a radar, why not giving vectors to the Turkish ? Why not informing him about his position ? The only interest of the controller seems to be "souls on board and fuel remaining ?" !!!
Another enormity : as soon as the a/c landed in Lome, on top of all what happened in the air, the pilots had been given a roasting by the Lome controller :
he started shouting on the freq : WHY HAVE YOU LANDED WITHOUT CONTACTING ME AND WITHOUT ASKING FOR A CLEARANCE ???
No comment !
