When you keeping knocking on the Devil's door, don't be surprised when he answers you. Most of these private airlines go buying planes that have been around since Nigeria's independence to save cost. Consequently, what you choose to save in money, you lose in lives when something goes wrong. Hence, the plane crash the occurred on Sunday. Once a plane has gone through between 12-17 years of flight service or 3-4 D-service checks, its airworthiness is highly questionable.  Nigerians never learn. This has happened with Bellview, Sosoliso and a few other airlines who buy 30-40 year-old planes second hand and do not service them properly. I heard the pilot complained that plane was faulty. In that case, why did he still risk flying it? Nigerians should please know where to draw the line when scrambling to make money at all costs at the expense of safety and travel worthiness. Planes should never be 'managed' ( borrowing an old pidgin term). If by some chance something goes wrong in mid-flight, the effects would be catastrophic as we have unfortunately seen. My heart bleeds for the families of the passengers who lost their lives. Their loved ones have become casualties of Nigeria's over 'economizing to maximize profit' syndrome. Most of the service checks are very expensive and may run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is why a lot of foreign airlines use the planes only for 5-6 years so that they can sell them to other airlines who would be saddled with the responsibility of carrying out these checks. Most Nigerian airlines for profit maximizing reasons do make these checks when they are supposed to turning the planes into flying death traps for the hapless unsuspecting passengers. When it comes to safety during traveling, especially during air travel, no cost is too much to ensure one's life. Investing in good quality planes no matter the cost is better than managing the flying death traps in our airports right now for safety sake.
