I guess this is why so many African airlines are banned from flying to Europe.

It is being reported that the pilot of a Nigerian airliner that crashed did not heed air traffic control advice to wait for stormy weather to clear before taking off.

:-/ They can't make the call for you, but when a controller repeatedly warns you to wait a while, it's advice worth heeding... they've been sitting watching the weather all day, usually... sometimes they know better.
