Nigerians getting all emotional as usual! Our inability or unwillingness to think critically will keep us down. What has Daniel done that is worthy of emulation? Nearly getting himself killed? He's not even smart - at half his age I knew you don't fly from Benin to America. Yeah, send the dolt to Sandhurst and let his mother be proud of him. |

Yeah thats true he's not suppose to be given a scholarship because what he did is a criminal act also a murder case for risking his life and the 157 passanger. |

Serendipity: Don't get me wrong friend. I'm not saying what he did was right. I am simply against anyone who says he shouldn't av been given a scholarship. Training him to the univerity level will ensure close monitoring. Terrorists and suicide bombers will easily want him for this daring act. He's the kind of pple they want. But one way to ensure that never happens is what they have done by awarding him a schorlaship |

Serendipity:then what is it plz? |
Re: It Was Wrong For The Arik Airline Stowaway Lad To Have Been Offered Scholarship by Serendipity: 8:18pm On Sep 01, 2013 |
osadhordy: then what is it plz?By virtue of Section 36 sub 12 of the constitution, one caanot be punished for anything not written down as a crime. So I don't think that what the guy did is stated as punishable anywhere. Or do ypu get punished for licking orange in public even though some people my view that as ungentlemanly and improper? |

When I said that this scholarship will send wrong signals some were refuting it. = Now the arrest of another stowaway boy has confirmed my prognosis www.nairaland.com/1422698/another-stowaway-boy-arrested-benin |

You don't get anywhere in life by folding your arms. This boy took a step to change his destiny, now I don't condone stowaway be it a child or an adult and yes he could have lost his life. But something good came out of this for him. That is not encouraging another child to do such, but I believe the lesson to be learnt here is to take chances in life....and no I don't recommend what he did, it will not work for everyone. Que Sera, sera ~ whatever would be will be. I wish him well and hope to read a lot more about his achievements in years to come. |

OP ...I am totally in sync with you on this... I raised the same sentiment when the matter broke out... You simply don't reward negative behavior and truancy. And I wonder what some people mean by courage...when actually the boy was totally oblivious of the dangers and risk he was exposing himself into. You can only talk about courage if only the boy can analyze his actions and potential consequences...which obviously he couldn't. In sane clime...some people will be answering some serious questions now..including the parents and those at the airport in Benin. 1 Like |

It's true that the award of scholarship seems, as a matter of principle, to reward bad behaviour. However, one has to note that at that kid's age, he should be entitled to free education. Certainly, he will be so entitled in civilised countries. Therefore, giving a kid what should be his natural right, free education, should not be seen as a reward but a restoration of his entitlement which he has been robbed of by a thieving political class whose rapaciousness has negatively impacted that kid and rendered him desperate to flee the country. At a time ASUU are demanding 87bn Naira in additional allowances and PDP governors are requesting that they should not be investigated by EFCC, the fact that a kid has been given an opportunity to develop himself should not be seen as a wasteful gift. |

Serendipity: The fact is the young Lad made that decision out of stupidity, considering his level of exposure and education....The consequences of not educating him would not only be greater and grave but would be a disfavor to humanity..... |

Serendipity: I was stupefied upon learning that the Arik Airline stowaway, Daniel Oikhena had been offered scholarship by a group in Osun State. |

Edo state just awarded him scholarship. Our leaders are just clueless. |
