truth4meal: Reading comments on this forum sometimes makes me wonder if some pple's brain is on holiday. A boy hid in an airplane unnoticed by airport security - a security breach and u all taking with a pinch of salt because the boy is small. Aside the much publicised wanting to travel abroad can't u all take time to ask what if there is any other motive? If that boy can breach airport security don't u think BH will flawlessly do? Juvenile or not security operatives still nid to find out if thr re accomplice and if such pple pose an easy walkway for terrorist. And to some of u questioning the gov for awarding the boy a boarding school scholarship - the reason given by the gov is true. If its in a more organised country that woman will forfeit custody of that boy...don't just comment cos u can type, do it cos u have a brain

Excellent tots. Boko Haram might even be looking for him for more insights as to how to sneak in and blow up planes.

I am really happy that Nigerian leaders are begining to take a second look at issues before judging. i salute the caurage of everyone involved in taking the decision both to give him scholaship and to take him to boarding. thats almost exactly similar to what will happen if it was in a more advance country. for those who think the kid should just be allowed to go back to the mother 100%. I bet u, if u have a 13 year old son you will know Oshiomole may be right on his supposition about his parent. Mark it today whether you like it or not the boys life has changed for ever.

fresh_dude: Where do they make you people? Sometimes I wonder if it is the same Nigeria that I live in. Tomorrow now, you'll run for public office. I mean, it's scary the way Nigerians reason.
If they don't judge the parents on this one issue, is it when the boy takes up arms that they'll be condemned? That boy is a major deviant. How many people in your lifetime have you heard (and this includes gossip and rumours) that even jokingly alluded to attempting such daredevilry? I..I..I mean..how do you guys reason?

My premises are as follow;

You know about,

1. first time offender
2. Juvenile delinquency
3. Zero support system
4. Trend, potential and capacity.

It is more about the children and less about the parents.

Imagine my 12 years old nephew decides to play superman I seeing one too many cartoons. Jumps from the the third floor balcony and discovers that it arms ain't wings in a hard way.

We should all conclude that my parents are doing a poor job and yank the kid away from us?

I don't think the mum has shown times without number that she can 'manage' the kid. The kid was just trying to live his dreams.

Where is that irresponsible NGO screaming they wanted to give the boy scholarship to study abroad.

Thugs...

They are people on the streets, they didn't see them but want cheap attention to glorify irresponsibility.

The boy doesn't deserve anything.. a thug is a thug. just like a Lizard in Nigeria is a Lizard in the US.

Ricky Daniel Ohikhena the stowaway teenager, who, on 24th of August, this year hid in a wheel well of an Arik Air craft from Benin to Lagos, has said he did was not aware that he took a risk when he did that, promising not to do it again.

“I regret it. I want to go home, I am tired.” On his dream, the boy said: “I will be happy to train as an engineer.”

The young Ohikhena, had since his return from Lagos two weeks ago, been held up in a building in the company of security personnel in the Government House, Benin City.

Speaking to journalists, the apparently home-sick boy requested that he should be allowed to go home with his mother to enable him resume school.

Master Ohikhena said he was happy with the award of scholarship to him by De Rauf Foundation and Edo state Government.

He said he was terrified when he was arrested on arrival in Lagos from Benin, adding that he was not maltreated but given good food where he was kept.

He told journalists that he was questioned in Lagos and in Benin, revealing that he returned to Benin by road with three armed security men.
He said that on the return trip to Benin and even at his present location, he was being treated well with “good food,” but that since school has resumed, he would want to go home.

Meanwhile, Master Ohikhena has secured admission in one of the state’s top secondary schools for 13-year-old Daniel Ohikhena by the Edo state Government.

The State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole made this disclosure during the visit of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) Managing Director Mr George Uriesi and other FAAN Management team to him at the Government House, Benin City, yesterday.

According to the Governor, “without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there is need to closely watch him which his parents could not do.

“He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal.

“This incident was probably the kind of trigger that we needed to improve the facilities at our Airports. You are never going to have all the money you need to do all you have to do. You should start from somewhere,” he noted.

Oshiomhole added: “It is also a security issue that we do not have any runway security lights at the Benin Airport.”

Ask Mr. Adams the location of his children at the point of this press release and he'll be left with something like, ''em,em,em,em''.Parents can only do their part and the rest hangs on children.The boy left the house in the night.So as a parent Mr Gov. doesn't sleep at night but sits close to his children as 'watchdog'?Don't blame his parent please.

Tolexander: This is the problem about nigeria.

A boy stayed hidden in a plane tyre for minutes and was docked.

It is very obvious this guy will be good in airforce or as an air detective and should be trained in those lines
