  Africa leaders always try to blame their foolishness and corrupt attitude on others. These planes are bought by these African leaders on the cheap side or as scraps and these leaders do minimum refurbishment on these planes and inflated the prices to their various governments and bank the stolen money for their families.
  
  We should stop the blame game and act like human beings that we are by showing a modicum of sense.

  So who are you blaming? Are you blaming the seller or the buyer. African leaders make themselves susceptible to be cheated! Don't blame the white man blame our leaders. I don't want those kind of loose talk. We.should take responsibility for our actions. With all God has bless us with all the mineral deposits yet we go to white man for credit...for money! Explain to me why we can't buy new aircrafts. Oh the white man sold us old aircraft, stop this baby talk. It's high time we talked about cogent matters.

  Developing countries have always been a market for older airplanes. First Asia then south America and Africa now. When you grew up was your first second or even third car a new car? This older planes make us developing faster because they are cheaper. It reduces our cost and that makes us more competitive.
