Absurdity birthing Sham Heroism!

How funny life can be. It is surprising that I am also writing about this dude. Daniel Oikhena is the boy that stowaway on an Arik airline...Alas! Meet the new teenage hero. A Nigeria version of a role model for his peer!

Sometimes, I just feel this country is a joke! A big joke with several jokers who play with the indigenes' destiny. The leaders in the country seems to be clueless at various happenings in the country. 

We hear of news such as amnesty for tyrants and militants; round table dialogue and goodies for terrorists; 53 gold-plated iPhone for Nigeria's 53rd anniversary...and making a hero out of a stowaway Dan! 

Did anyone ever imagined what would have been the fate of the passengers of that airline if the boy was mangled and thereby jammed the landing gears? Would this still be a celebrated event? I am totally at a loss at the country's sense of correctness and standard of behaviour. There was at no point this lad got reprimanded or subjected to chastisement for his action.

Well, if your child is a Michael Scofield's fan, you better be on the look out. He might just be to stowaway on the next flight heading to Afghan or Syria. Personally, I think if anything is being done to help this lad, it should be off the media and not make his actions a heroic one. I don't want to sound like a prophet of doom but mark my words, we will have a replay of this occurrence within the next 30 days.

Believe it or not, I am out of here for now... Great day folks

  1. Thank God i finally saw someone who spoke my mind. I keep wondering y he shld be celebrated. May be some of d bigs guys r thinking of how useful he'd be in their evil intentions. Apparently, a terrorist group is already thinking about training a lad for their intentions. Young Dan would probably be a guest speaker in that gathering. #Nigerianeedshelp#

  2. Seriously...I wonder the kinda country we are in...!!!! Is this the primary concern of the Nigeria Governors? A boy that should be flogged mercilessly and retributed for his gross misconduct. Now he dines and wines with the Governor.Nice article gidi.
