They were just at the departure hall when they saw a man, who approached them and asked them if they had a BlackBerry charger to enable him charge his phone, they told the man that they didn’t have one, before his friend, Amadi, asked the man if he knew the plane going to Malaysia.He said the question made the man to alert the airport police and got them arrested.

If you can recall, a few weeks ago a group of supporters of Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, offered 14 year old Daniel Oikhena, the boy who flew an Arik plane from Benin to Lagos hidden in the plane's undercarriage, a scholarship.  

Is this what we get from rewarding indiscipline?
