It lookes like the B737-Dude has still the oppinion that the Continent Africa is still sitting in dark wholes and produces only dark people who just wait for a enlightend freshman to give them the glow.
I agree that everyone has started somewhere. There are alot of gifted people in the World, they would love to fly as well, if they could afford it. I am sure they all wait for a German Dude.....
Earn the wings was a old saying. It is easy to go out and shop a Licence it is much harder to compete and find a job. There are more Flying Schools out then needed, maybe they told that you go into a growing field? Wake up.
