@chuks: If you truly think boeing is 'handicapped' because they don't 'dash' money to Nigerian businesses or govt. officials as you claim Airbus does you are sorely mistaken. Afterall, this is the same Boeing whose first bid for the US Airforce tanker replacement program was nullified and had a couple of it's top executives jailed for bribery/corruption.
If they can do this in their own country where said laws are more stricly enforced, do you truly believe they don't do the same in Nigeria where these laws are much more easily circumvented? You might need to open your eyes.
